30 Ia 10 ONoE MoRE.

As we write the great November cleo
toral battle is still undecided, but no matter
to which side the victory may go, one thing
is definitely settled, viz: that for some years
to come there are only two political parties
in this country-the Republican and Dem
ocratic In the contest which closed yes
terday the two organizations met face to
face, with the exception of one State-Mis-
soUri-where the Republican party made
no nominations, pTeferring to vote with the
Peoples party against the Democracy,
whose nominees represented everything
that was bad and rotten in the politics of
that State. But no third party was heard
Of anywhere. The Liberal Republican
organization which made so much of row
two years ago entirely disappeared, except
in few isolated places where some scatter
ing nominations we're made. The Tribune,
of Chicago, has gone back to its old love,
and its namesake of New York has entirely
thrown off the mask it has been wearing
50 long, and has become within the week
an ayowed organ Of the Opposition. The
elections Of yesterday mark new starting
point in our political history from which
the campaigns of the immediate future will
in a great measure take their color and
complexion. Liberal Republicanism, as it
was called, was completely killed, the pub
Lie contempt in which it is held being fifty
embodied few weeks ago in one of Nast's
strong cartoons, where q ST. Louis police
officer is represented as picking up the
famous label of 1872 inscribed "Gratz
Brown, . and asking Win nobody claim
itT' After all, its death was the most nat
ural thing in the world. Born of hate and
jealousy and lust Of power, it was through
out its brief career utterly without princi-
pie, living upon defamation and SANDER;
party Of subterfuge and false pretense;
political monstrosity unnatural in its birth
and associations deformed and hideous
from its cradle to its grave.
As we said, the two organizations which
have divided the country during the last
fourteen years again met yesterday, and in
the main upon the same issues, somewhat
changed, it is true, by the mighty events
that have in the meantime taken place.
Take, for instance, the State Of New York.
The standard bearer on the one side was
General Dix, who gave the battle-cry to
the North even while he was member Of
Mr.. Buchanan's Cabinet, to shoot down the
man who dishonored the flag Of the coun-

APAPER printed in this city, which stands
in the capital of the country as a sort of
Rob Roy or q Robert Macaire, without the
ability or the courage of either, has been
spurred by somebody into making what it
considers an attack upon THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN. In this attack it seeks to
convey the idea that it is the representa-
tive of party. The only party which it
represents is gang of very disreputable
persons, who have been kicked out Of
their own State-whO are covered all over
with moral and political infamy-a mere
band of blackmailers and lobbyists, who
are in favor Of every corrupt scheme if
they are only paid for it. and whose re-
puted connection with the party has
brought disgrace and discredit upon it
everywhere. To notice this low, corrupt
gang is only to give it life and strength.
They are a lot of adventures in Journal
ism, who are a disgrace TO the profession,
alike ignorant of and Indifferent TO its
duties and responsibilities. Suffers, claim
agents and thieves of the Indian ring
hands off! You mistake the day and gen.

YEsTERDAY,s ELECTIONS.

The elections yesterday seem to have
gone against the Republican party. Ac-
cording to the returns received up to this
hour, q a.m.,) we have probably lost the
next House Of Representatives; but the
returns are so vague and indefinite that the
result in this respect cannot be set down
with any degree of certainty. We have
secured districts which were considered
doubtful, and lost districts which were
thought to be certain. We have won
where victory seemed impossible; we have
lost where defeat appeared to be out of the
question.
With the returns now before us no accu-
rate opinion, or opinion even approach
ing accuracy, can be formed. All around
there seems to have been a general barter
and dicker of votes. The Republicans
have carried Legislatures where Governors
and Congressman have been lost and de-
feated. In fact the off year of 1874 has
brought with it more of decentralization
and uncertainty than any of its predeces-
sors for nearly half a generation. Various
questions, political, personal and social,
have entered into the campaign, and in ad-
dition the Republicans have had to en-
counter dissension and division in their own
ranks, brought about mainly by purely
personal considerations.
No accurate estimate can be made until
the full returns are received, But how
ever the November elections may have
gone, however they may have affected the
next Congress. it is not denied by any one
that the Republican party has still the ma
jority of the country. and that if it shall be
led as it ought to be led, its victories in the
future Will surpass any that it has won in
the past. In the defeats which we fear we
have met, we see the omen Of future vics
tory. The Republican party is still the
party of the country, and it cannot be de-
feated, and the Republic lives.

try. On the other side was Mr.. Tilden,
who during the canvass just closed en-
deaYored in vain to wash from his gar
ments the stain of sympathy with treason
and traitors during the rebellion. Who
doubts that in the figures presented In other
columns this morning every man who was
a copperhead when Tilden was q copper
head voted for him yesterday; that ninety
per cent. of the men who went into the
war to ssve the Union cast their votes for
General Dixi As general rule, the same
is true of nearly all the Southern States.
There the issue was, almost without the
exception of single State. the ''gray"
against the ''blue." To be sure, some good
men have changed sides, but they are few
and far between. The contest stood yes
terday as it stood in all the years from '62
TO '65. The Democracy, if they were only
honest enough to admit il, have not changed
one iota of their principles. They still be-
heve that emancipation was crime upon
the part of the Republican party; that the
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the Constitution should be re-
pealed; that the suffrage should be taken
from the negro at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The Democratic party is the same
to-day as when it was the party of
opposition to the war, its foremost leaders
counseling treason and secession. 1t has
no policy except to undo what has been
done. On the other hand, the Republican
party is the same to-day that it was in SO
and in go, of the same faith and aspiration
and fidelity to Union and liberty. The
principles of the two parties are respec-
lively the same as they were when they
first met in conflict, for the Democrats have
not changed or forgotten, and Republican
ism means all to-day that it meant fourteen
years ago. The issue is fairly made up be-
tween the two parties, and no matter what
temporary defeats or reverses we may meet,
we have no fears for the victory at last.
