THE MAGNITUDE or 4HE
REYOLUTJON

We are amazed at the victories wc
won on the 3d of November Tho
people, at one sweep, delivers the gov
ernment of twothirds Of the States
composing this Union, as well ~ Con
grcss, into tho hands Of tho Democratic
party. Tho political revolution is 20
colossal and astounding that tho peo'
pie cannot fully comprehend its mag
nitade till they withdraw their gaze
from the whole and look at it in some
of its moro significant particulars.
In 1872 the States of Massachusetts,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, which ey-
tend in an unbroken line from the At
lantic coast to the Mississippi river,
and every one of which Grant carried,
gave him an aggregate majority OF
100000.
This fall these seven States have all
gone against Grant by an aggregate
majority of $4,000, Hal tls
The history of politics in all the free
states of the world does not furnish a
parallel for so great n change as this.
In the present House of Rcpresen-
tetives, elected two years ago, Grant
secured majority of one hundred and
two. The elections Of this fall show
that in the next House there will be
an anti-Gnnt majority of scventy-fvc
at the least. s'NQ1ii
In no election in the country here
toiorc has there been SO great change
from one Congress TO its immediate
successor as now. .ttai ,
1t is by the light of such facts af
these that we can gauge the dimon
sions of the crushing disaster which
has overtaken Grants Administration
The victory in our own good ole
Pennsylvania is complete in all it'
parts. The Democrats have elected
their State ticket by from 5000 t'
5000 majority, although the Radicals
carried the State last year by over 20,
600. We have elected II out of the
27 members of Congress, and have
secured majority of II on joint ballo
in the Legislature, and thereby secured
a United States Senator, in the room
of John Scott, the present Radical in
cumbent. Besides this we have elected
a regiment or two Of county officers il
the Radical counties throughout th'
State.
The Army will be needed no longe
in the South, to support and protec
Carpet-baggcr and thieves while rob
bing the taxpayers, but the sold'e
should be posted along the western
border, to defend and protect the set
tiers from the bullet and the scalpins
knife. This is the Legitimate duty of
soldier in times of peace. The Army
was never raised for the purpose o
stufing ballot boxes and protecting
frcebooten. The people do not pa,
taxes to support it for that purpose
and we think we can safely say tina
"a new departure" is at hand an'
those in power had better execute il
or il will thunder louder yet. r .f

Tnr RESULT IN THE CouNTY.-Tho
official vote of this county will be found
in tabular form elsewhere in this issue.
The majorities exceed our expectations.
We claimed l,20O on the State ticket,
and about 1000 ON the county ticket.
The Democratic vote is 600 short Of
that east for Buekalew and the Radi-
cal about 400 less than that received
by Ilartranft in 1872, Had our full
vote been out our majority would have
been 100, But then it is too big now,
We would rather have less than more,
but if our opponents will not let us of
with less we win of course tally il to
the use of our party. The result is
glorious.

"wHAT ARE THE CAUSES
of this tremendous change" do you
ask 2 These causes would seem TO be
very apparent; chief among them is
the general dissatisfaction with the
conduct of the men the Republican
party have put in power in the NUM-
cipal State and National offices. We
can hardly esteem this as exclusively
a party victory. Mr.. Tilden but ech-
oes my views when be says we don't
claim it as party success. Messrs.
Sheppard, Goddard and the State Off
GERS were elected by the good men in
both parties. The Democratic organ
ization was only used by the good
sense of the people in correcting the
intolcrable evils which the government
now inilicts upon all the people alike.
1t is the policy of the government in
imposing its immense taxation upon
the people that has destroyed the pow

The Democratic party ought to take

have nothing whatever 10 do with the
slavery question now. II is the duty
of Democrats to take up the things of
today, and lay aside those of the past.
The civil rights bill ought never TO be

South. My God sir, if they keep on,
the state of things will bo similar to
that which produced the Sicillan Yes
