NJ the grand result on Tuesday. 1t VIII OF
seen that the Democrats have won victor!
which gives them decided majority in the

They will be reinforced by the Liberals, "ho

ultra Republicans, who kept them in fear ana
restrained them from any generous move

ONLY to increase the party rigors which 'heS

y, the effort to improve the purity, 'mPar'
tiali,y. and freedom OF the Government:
This great revolution is grand wonder
we hardly realize it now. How Massachu'
sets could bave made so great revolution
in such a summary manner we cannot ina
cine. So firm. so rigid in her viii; so
thorough In her RepublicanlSm, so eai'ed-'-
e.. prejudices toward the Soulh--'that the
possibility of her abandoning Republieanism
and taking position in the ranks of the oppo'
sitioa we had not dreamed of. What
cround-swell Of public opinion there must
be when such.a miracle in politics is accom-
plshed
We are bcvond measure delighted to con-
s,ruc the revolution and the eleclrifylng in-
tellicence from Massachusetts as indicative
OF national traits Of the people OF the United
states that do them honor. In this view we
look upon the elections OF Tuesday as the
most important that we have ever bad. Inc
views Of the result is the most delightful that
has fallen upon the ears Of the nation Tor
half century.
IF we are right in the idea that there is
feeling Of harmony and sympathy amongst
Inc people o, the different sections OF TINS
country that will, as soon as they under
sand the public interests, band them to-
cether for the defence of one another aud Tor
az together, The election that has given US
The sign of these mutual relations is bless
ing We cannot over-estmatc.
Yes; we feel satisfied that the people OF
America will unite in the labor Of rclornI-
ing national abuses, in relieving the land oil
u.ea. urcs that Cypress large part of the
people, and spread ruin, aid fear, and dis
trust. every where measures which cmbar-
rass and distress man in ali bis pursuits and
bring injury and confusion upon the whole
economy OF life.
In short, We are satisfied that this nation
viii no, tolerate measures which impair
civil zaton ard foster barbari>m that they
will rot countenance laws which tend to
break down the moral power and impair the
political control of that superior race which
conquered this country, settled it, and
brought it to its present uneXampled pros
rerity and political power. The elections OF
Tuesday show this. They pronounce the
heart and disposition, the civiity and wis
dom, Of the American people. They will not
join in humliating and depressing brethren
o: their own race, whose prosperity is as
necessary for the common growth, and power,
and wealth of the nation as their own. They
vii! not do this merely to crafty the greed
and sordid ambition Of party Of leaders
who are ready to ruin their country for their
own gain.
In this light, we repeat, the revolution Of
Tuesday is the grandest ever known in this
country. 1t is a blessing we cannot over
rae, and one for which we cannot be too
thankful. Long live the Republic!
