DOVER JUBILEED over the Democratic
victory last night. An immense crowd was in
attendance. a procession about One-half mile
long, headed by Che Dover band, paraded the
streets, 10 which there was about 300 mounted
torchmen, several transparencies, &c. Among
the illuminations the State House showed to
the best advantage. Among other houses that
attracted attention in this respect were Ex-
Sheriff Hargadine's (the Bank William d.
Fower's, r. o. Culbrcths and the new Court
House. Short speeches were made on the
State House balcony by Senator Salisbury, j.
A. Fulton and Edw. Martin, Of Seaford.
Tx Gov salisbury also made a short speech
at his residence in response to a serenade. A
noticeable feature, we are informed, was the
lack OF hurrahing and hat throwing. Perhap:

Enough voters to elect him ought to

THE Radical defeat has little effect
in the way of depressing the market
for outrages. The manufacture still
goes on as the demand would seem to
lessen. They have so long been a sta
pie article Of northern consumption,
that the manufacturers can not realize
that Outrages, any more than cotton,
will ever case to be in demand. They
used to have a fictitious value because
a semblance of truth was occasionally
woven into the fabric, but now that lies
constitute the warpand filling, the cheat
istoo palpableto deceive the most cred
ulous, and many of the reputei manu-
facturers promptly deny that they are
the products of their mills.

THAT is singular turn in the wheel
Of political fortune, which devolyes
upon the South the responsibility of
nursing the patriotism of the North,
promoting its prosperity and protect
ing its political liberties. That such
is the case, is manifest from the de-
claration of Radical leaders, that their
chances for restoration to power de-
ponds upon whether or not, the oppo-
sition commit fatal blunders during
the next Congress, and it is clearly in
dicated that the blunders deemed most
probable, are attempts to repeal any
portion of the Radical legislation
which was intended to Cypress and in
suit the hated people of the South.
Hence the inference that the future of
the Radical party turns upon the good,
or bad behavior of southern democrats
and those of the North who are in po-
ktical sympathy with them. Any
blunder on our part, We are to infer,
will drive the masses of the North, to
seek shelter under Radical tyranny
rather than enjoy equal rights and priv
ileges TO both sections. under Demo
cratic rule. We have no fears ofsuch
blunders, believing that the wisdom
fought by years of bitter experience.
will not be forgotten in the first dawn
ing of better day. Besides this, the
former heedlessness oftriumphant De
mocracy is now tempered by the infu-
sion of that spirit of true conservatism
which gave the whig party its hold up
on SO many of the best intellects of
the country.
