The latest news from Ohio and Indiana add
emphasis to the words Of cheer wherewith we
yesterday hailed the dawn ofa better day for the
Democracy and for the country. The people
of those great and populous central States
have spoken their disapproyal Of the princi-
Piles and the practices of the Republican party
in tones which il is impossible to misunder-
stand or to misinterpret. 1t is no ordinary
revolution of public opinion which in Ohio
adds nine Congressman to the Democratic
list, giving the Democracy u representation
Of fifteen in delegation whose total is TWEEN
ty, and in Indiana reduces the Republican
Congressman from ten to three, in delega-
ton whose total is thirteen. But this is the
revolution which was recorded in Ohio and
Indiana on Tuesday. The Democrats of
Indiana have just three Representatives in
the present Congress. In the Forty-fourth
Congress they will have ten, and possibly
eleven. Each Of these States has chosen
Democratic State officers by popular MAORI.

These happy results were neither unexpec.

expected by the millions who are weary Of
corruption and incompetence in the Govern.

inpoyerish the people and enrich not the
Government, weary Of war and of appeals to
the memories and apprehensions Of war.
They have been predicted by the mad and
lawless excuses Of the Republican party, and
by the condemnation which, beginning with
New Hampshire and Connecticut, has been
pronounced by one State and another almost
every month of the present year. They in
turn predict the fuller and more sweeping
victories which await the Democracy in No.

Do. Ensor and the Negroe..

Mr.. Ensor in his speech here and at
Taneytown, and in all his other speeches,
we suppose, characterized the ADVOCATE.

he voted to place the black man under the
lash or to sell him into slavery for crime,
as ''unkind." There could be nothing IN.
kind in citing Mr. Ensor's public record;
that is public property, and may be passed
in review, without subjeeting the reviewer
to charge of unkindness, to which We
are not at all amenable, in this case. We
adverted to it, simply as in duty bound, as
a public journalist. That it IS sore sub
iect to him, just now, and one of which he
would rather not hear mention, is his
misfortune, if it should lose him colored
votes. The fear Of such result, is the
probable ground on which he character
izes our allusion to ii and that Of our cor
respondent, as "unkind7 If it we're
not true, then he might call il unkind /;
but, it can hardly, with prOpriety, be
so called, as it was but a brief aIlusion
to his own Official act, which act may now
be considered to SAVIOR Of unkindness to-
wards the colored race. That is all the I'm
kindness there is In the case.

from the reconstructed States met at Chat

The MIDDLErowN TRASscRIPr.-We
cherish warm affection toward this jour
nal. It was founded by US, and, from the
liberal support accorded to it, its success
was assured from the start. But it has
gone on prospecting and to prosper, and
has recently been enlarged by the length
ening Of It's columns, and the addition Of
another column to the page. E. Reynolds,
Esq. the present proprietor, conducts it in
very spirited and successful manner, and
the Transcript maintains its rank among
the best Of the peninsula papers. We are
gratifed to note these evidences Of its
continued prosperity and usefulness. 1t
has given to Middletown an importance it
did not formerly enjoy, and has contribut-
ed largely to develop the resources of the
lower section Of New Castle county, whose
citizens very properly feel pride in sus-
tanning their local press.

THE TANEYTowx MRErIsa.--A letter
from Taneytown states that at the Repub
lican meeting held in that place on Mon
day evening, Mr.. John T. Ensor deliy-
cred the most ridiculous speech ever made
before white audience in this county.
He said all Democrats are murdsrers and
thieves" Another gentleman said after
the meeting was over, that an Irish
man or Dutehman without money is
no better than negro The opinion
Of the Radicals, the letter says, is that the
meeting was nothing but humbug, aud
they would have been better of if It had
not been held.

Nor GumrY.-A verdict Of "not gull
w. was rendered in the case Of Samuel
Mcdonald, who was tried last week at
Towsontown, Nd. for the murder Of Berry
Amos. The Baltimore AMerican Of Mon
day calls it IA deplOable verdict" and
says:
The fact remains that Berry Amos was muir
dered, and il Mcdonald did not strike the
fatal blow, some one else did. To attempt to
seek his murderer now would be regarded as
a capital Joke. When Mcdonald stalked
forth from the Court House on Saturday a
free man, there was the end Of the case. No
suspicion will attach TO any one else, and no
oneelse will ever be accused ofitSperpetratio
Thesafest crime man can commit in Balti'
more, with the privilege ofremoying his case to
Towsontown, is murder. The chances are all
in his favor, IL he has sense enough or friends
and money enough to manufacture some i'm
possible, improbable and ridiculous story upon
which the jury can chang doubt instead Of
hanging him.
Berry Amos was not man Of whom soeie-
ty had reason to take much account, nor one
whose taking off could be considered a serious
loss. II is not for him that we take consider
alton in the case, but for the lost opportunity
Of teaching lesson where that lesson was
most needed, and from the hurt done to JUS
tice and the laws by their prostration before
improper influences. When Mcdonald step
ped from the prisoners box on Saturday
morning, it was seen and felt and known TO
be the triumph Of money oyrr Justice, the de-
basement Of the law before influences that
ought not to dare To intrude into a court Of
justice and the events that followed during
the day proved that the dangerous classes es.
timated at its full value the victory they had
won. There was rejoicing, when there should
have been quite different feeling.
The course Of District Attorney Talbot in
refusing the assistance Of Attorney General
SyesteT and A. Leo Knott, Esq. in the con.
duct Of the trial, is open to criticism, but per-
haps he though, with SO clear case il would
have been impossible to find even Baltimore
county jury willing to render a verdict Of &C.
quittal.

The Republican meeting which was held at
the Court House, on Tuesday night last, Was
addressed by John 7. Ensor, ESQ. Republican
candidate for Congress, J. B. Askew, Esq. Of

cratic hard money doctrine in one Of the
