Twoyesr~ ago the once strong, boio
a d aggressive Democratic party com
mencei vacillating. The counsels Of
Ii old, new and unworthy leaders pre-
vailed. Yielding TO the folly, the selfish
purposes, the uuhallowed ambition and
the reckless policy Of men willing 10.
win power at tie sacrifice Of principle,
the Democratic party was weakened, its
prestige destroyed, and its strength be-
came q mere commodity in the hands
Of those who had achieved its ruin. But
defeat and adversely is the school in
which politicians learn wisdom. The.
true Den. Gratis Of the country, who had
been lead from pillar 10 post, transferred
from principles TO policy, in the vain
hope that something would turn up TO
save their country, and thus reward
their sacrifices of conscience, have dis
covered that honesty is the best policy,
that devotion to principle wins more
than bartering aud trading; that q
sound party is safer than a big party
graspiug for spoils; and, Tepudiating ali
other combinations, they have returned
to the old faith, lifted up the Democratic
banner, and what is the result2 Ev-
erywhere we hear the glad shouts
OF The old Democratic legiOns. The
banner Of Democracy waves in triumph !
in Indiana. Ohio is redeemed, regeneT- !
ated aud disseminated. on Tuesday |

lot with the children of Democracy. II
these victories continue in November |

jority in the next house OF representa-
tives. Il l. a matter OF c0ngratulatiOn |
TO Democrats, that, despite the efforts
that have been made TO break up their /
organization, il is really growing strong /
er and more victorious every day. Pa /
tri0ts have now hopes IN the future for
our common country. Honest men are
sure enough coming 10 the front and
rogues retiring 10 the resr. The foul
temple Of RsdicaIism, is rapidly tumb-
ling. The people are moving. The
great reform wave, which in August
last swept over Tennessee, North Caro-
lina and Kentucky, has redeemed Ohio
and Indiana. The wave viii continue
TO roll over tue land Till State after State
is purged OF its political and moral mas
tiness. When We compare the pros
poets Of to-day with those Of 1872
there is abundant cause for oongratula-
tion. Only three years ago there were
but sir Democratic governors; now
there are sCUeBtCen, and the clouds
overhead are breaking with q
rspidity that Enthusiastically insures
s clear Democratic oily in 1875
and The Commencement t OF the period Of /
restoration, The fruits Of which
ali men Of all parties viii gratefully par
Ia e with heartfelt thankIulness. The
huge wheel Of political recuperatiOn is
now turning, and a momentum has
been acquired, bur every enemy to Rad
ica.ism must labor that the good work
may 20 on. Every man in the Demo-
cratic ranks has more or les influence 4
Those who are spathetic must be
aroused. During the present century
the political battles will he fought be
tween Democracy and Rsdicalism. Men
may hate both organizations, but they
have nowhere else 10 20. They must I
choose between the only two existing
parties confronting each other. The
triumphs Of Democracy I'm two such
States rs Ohio and Indiana should
nerve the hearts aud strengthen
the arms Of the Democrats and C0nser-
NATIVES Of Tennessee. Il was only by
union, harmony and an unfaltering sup
port Of the regular nominees and a stern
OF the independents that 4
hese grand and glorious victories were o.
Won. Let this congressional district z
