THE RESULT oFTHE ELECTIONS.

The Democrats, or rather the oppOsi-
ton, have made great gains in the late
elections. and the House Of Representa-
tives is again democratic. A republican
President and Senate, with democratic
House, Is q condition Of affairs at the
national capital not experienced hereto
fore. and il will mix matters mp strange
". 1T will be some time before the SEN
ate can change Its political complexion,
even with democratic successes like those
Of late. and the President viii hold his
place until March 18th. 1877. 50 the op-
position. Of whatever IT may be eompOs-
ed, cannot come into power at present
In the meantime new matters will arise,
and Dew issues viii be made The DEM
ocratic element In congress will he obllg-
ed to show its hand. and it may find it
more difficult to convince the nation of
Its own honesty and ability, than it has
been to getfnto power in one House of
congress-
The result Of the election in Massa-
ehusetts. is the most unaccOuntable Of
anything in the whole country. A dem
ecratic governor, and five democratic
congressman. The republican reYerses
are owing chiefly to local questions and
the selection Of few candidates that
ought to have been beaten, and the par
ty has only to blame itself for Its revers-
es. The eauses.that have produced the
present result have been various, but the
chief cause Is the prevailing disposition
to blame the party in power for all the
misfOrtunes experienced throughout the
country, whether they be private, public
or national. There are many men who,
to-day. have forgotten that-tbe South, by
rebellion, brought on the terrible war.
and the whole train Of calamities from
which we have suffered terribly, and
must suffer for years to come; and these
same men now blame the party in power
for the evil consequences of a war forced
upon the nation, by their political allies
at the South. The burdensone debts,
private, municipal, state and national,
were made in defense of liberty and na-
tional honor. The grievances Of which
the people complain, are the results Of
war, direct and indirect. Let the
voters Of the north be cautious how they
form political alliance with their invet-
crate enemies at the south, if they seek
to overcome the misfortunes previous
alliance helped TO bring upon them.
