OUR NOMINEE.

Hon. John T. Ensor, the Republican
nominee for Congress in this Congressional
District, is so we'll and favorably known in
this county, that We hardly deem it neces-
sary to do more than place his name at the
head of our columns, to call forth such
enthusiasm among Republicans, as will
insure to him the hearty and cordial sup
port of the party. A gentleman of the
highest moral worth; lawyer recognized
and commanding ability; he will fully sus-
tain his reputation on the stump, and do
himself honor and credit in the halls of
Congress, if elected. No need for Ais
friends or for newspapers or correspon dents
to bIoso him up as the leading member of the
Bar Of his county, or the one hauing tho larg-
est practce TN his profession, as aoas done By
the ouer kind friends and Democratic papers
generally in behalf Of his opponent. Mr.
Ensor is quite capable in Court, as ,oeN az
out Of Court by his forenic ability to sus-
tain the position we claim for him, as the
people will have ample opportunity of
judging, before the campaign is ended
Having accepted the nomination of the
Republican party, freely rendered him,
without any solicitation on his part, he has
promptly challenged his opponent for a
join discussion in the several counties COM
prisng the Congressional District, but
which challenge, from prudential reasons
no doubt, Mr.. Roberts has seen fit to decline.

taeousy the desired effect upon the dsordere stomach

the celebrity and certainty with which the Bters afford
relief in chronic of dyspepsia, torpdty of the
liver and constipation The false idea that these
plants and others that grow ont Of them could be
cured by fierce catartcs has at last it is hoped been
thoroughly exploded. The sick during the last hun
bred years have swallowed thousands of tons of
curry scammony, gamboge, croton OIL jaap, &c and
tens of thousands of graves have been prematurey
filled thereby. But the principle of

arrayed against tho principle of prostration repre-
scented by mineral savants and furious purgaves tho

eB-The Wilmington Commercial sums
up the result of the elections Of Tuesday
last, and their causes and effects, in the fol-
lowing nutshell:
No one has believed it possible, in view
of the several "Grangers," "Independ-
ent, - " Anti Monopoly" and other politi-
cal differences in the West to maintain the
present immense Republican majority in
Congress, and, to be frank. We do not think
SO large preponderance at all desirable.
The six or eight seats gained by the Demo
Gratis yesterday, are therefore, nothing at
all unexpected, and nothing to be concerned
about.

ELECTION NEws.-State elections were
held on Tuesday in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Ne.
braska, West Virginia and Arkansas. In
all these States, except Arkansas, Con.
gressmen we're chosen. The leading State
officers elected in Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa
were Secretaries of State. In Nebraska
and Arkansas, Governors were elected.
No State ticket was voted for in West Vir-
ginia.
The returns from Ohio indicate Demo
cratic majority of $4,000 to $4,000, and a
Democratic gain of six or seven Congress
men in that State.
In Indiana the Democratic majority is
now estimated at over 10000. The Con-
gressional delegation, it is believed, will
stand Democrats to Republicans. The
Independents will probably hold the bal
ance of power in the Legislature.
Nebraska has gone Republican by 10, 900
majority.
Arkansas has been carried by the Con
servatives, and the new Constitution has
been adopted there, probably by large
majority.
In Dakota, Kidder, Republican, has been
elected Delegate to Congress by about 2, 900
majority, and the Legislature is Republi-
can.
AO DCudGC vi LILO Cullcu OGdttS Will
remain strongly Republican for the next
four years beyond doubt. The american
in commenting on the recent elections,
remarks:
In the House of Representatives, parties
are now divided substantially as sollows:
Republicans 1856, Opposition 96. The DEM
ocrats must gain fifty -one members to give
them majority in the next Congress
According to present advices they seem to
have gained nine members in Ohio and
seven in Indiana. They still need thirty
five to give them majority of one. The
Democrats will certainly gain four Con-
gressmen at the next election in Tennessee
TO these add two which they will probably
gain in Virginia, and the two which they
have already gained in North Carolina, and
we have twenty-six of the required fifty
one. There will be gain of one in Ala
bama, two in Louisiana, and one in Geor-
gia. This will leave twenty one to be OBJ
tanned in the remaining States. Should
there be any thing like the detection from
the Republican ranks in Pennsylvania
that has been witnessed in Ohio and In
diana, the country must be prepared to see
the popular branch of Congress pass from
under Republican control.

report filed about hundred octave pages,
and among all the productions of General Dix
there Is none on which he expended so much
thought and labor He still holds fast those
well reasoned views, for in the edition OF
his collected works. published in 1864, he in
serted all the material portions Of that report,
with predatory note III which he expresses
the opinion that it 'will not be unacceptable
at period in which the pul1ie mind is ds-
recSed with SO much solicitude to the true
sources of the national order and prosperity"
In that very able report General Dix
showed that the militia is the indispensable
brlwark Of republican freedom. "The
militia SYSTEM" he said, sis to be regarded
not only as part of the political constitution
OF State, but as an eminently republican
feature of that constitution, fitted equally
with its civil features to maintain and give
effect to the principles on which it is founded. y
He then went on to demonstrate the inoom-
parable superiority of the State militia to
detachments of the federal army in suppress
ing domestic disturbances in q State. The
quotation which we are about to insert is so
clear-sighted and timely as to deserve the
most profound consideration Of President
Grant and all his advisers cit is striking
illustration of the genius of our institutions"
said General Dix, 'that, although we have
been at no period without q standing army,
the few instructions which have interrupted
our domestic tranquility have been suppressed
by the citizens themselves. Indeed, the
nature of our political institutions and the
spirit of the people are such that the employ
ment Of any other than militia force
on these occasions would inevitably have
the effect of rendering every contest
more protracted and sanguinary. regular
force, in the permanent service of the central
government, is apt to be regarded, however
unjustly as an instrument of power without
affinity with the mass of citizens, and when
employed against any portion Of the people it
assumes from that very circumstance the as
pect of oppression. But to body of insrr-
gents the spectacle of military force depend
ing on the separate authority of the State,
drawn from among themselves and composed
OF tnose who have participated in the very evils
which they are seeking to redress, presents
moral example of forbearance, order and
submission to the laws which must have
powerful influence in allaying the violence of
their resolution. If portion of the regular
army had been employed in suppressing the
recent disturbance in Providence it may Justly
be questioned whether the public order would
have been so promptly re-established or the
laws SO soon and so silently have resumed
their sway" These admirable observations are
penetrated with the very spirit of republican
institutions. Their applicability to the pres
ent condition of the South is too obvious to
require explanation.
