The elections yesterday were change of
front of the United States. There is no room
for doubt; there should be no occasion for ami
mostly, regret, or foreboding on the part Of
those who would have wrought different re-
suit. The success, as Governor Tilden said
last night, sis one in which one may rejoice
without selfishness, for those from whom this
triumph has been won will, equally with our
selves, participate in the beneficial influences
of the result" This noble motto and saluta-
ry fact will prove as true of all the States and
the whole country as it is of New York. Or
derly politicians have no victories over fellow
citizens which are not blessings as we'll to los
ers as gamers, in the results which follow them
in government. Less, cheaper, purer govern
ment, based on law, not on violence and Ca
price, has been ordered. The hand Of the SOL
dier and the ravage of the stranger on the
South have stirred the blood of all the other
sections whose rights were equally menaced
and whose properties, by identity of interest
and sympathy, were prostrated. Success such
as these can be achieved by party, but can
not in their train of good be monopolized by
it, All must have "share and share alike"
Whether the country is to have new organi'
zation in power, or only stronger opposition,
the country will be the better for it, because a
change of policy, easier times, the end Of ex-
periments outside of and against law, have
been demanded and will be secured by or
over the party in power. The results of yes
terday have thus assured good for the coun-
try and for every individual in it.
Washington Chronicle, Rep.]
We have never doubted that many Demo
Gratis residing in the neutrality-suspicious. States
have honestly believed that they were suffer
ing oppression at the hand of the National
Government, which, as they have thought,
greatly retarded their returning prosperity,
and interfered with their social enjoyment
and temporal happiness. They have proba-
bly, honestly believed that all their want of
business success and their numerous pecunia-
ry embarrassments were traceable to the folly
of the Congress of the United States, the greed
of "scallawags and carpet-baggers," and the
tyranny of Republican administration. And
these convictions have been encouraged and
fostered by their political associates North and
West.
After the 4th of March next the Democrat
ic party will be responsible for the enactment
of every new law, the appropriation of every
dollar from the Treasury, and for the repeal
of any old law which, in their opinion, ought
not to stand on the statute books Their pow
er, in certain sense, will be negative to be
sure, but, nevertheless, widely controlling; for
by Withholding the needed appropriations
they can stay the enforcement of any measure
which does not accord with their views of
correct Interpretation of the Constitution and
the principles of civil liberty. In this mode
they can re move the hand Of national tyranny
ifit is, in fact, expressing anybody within the
jurisdiction of the Government of the United
States We, therefore, shall look forward to
their organization of the next House, and the
of the measures which shall re-
suit 10 the revival of their industries, the aug
mentation of their agricultural pursuits, the
oftheir commerce, the enlargement
of their manufactures, the development Of
their mining resources, the multiplication of
their means Of transportation, the improve
rnent and extension of their school system, the
erection and establishment of their temples
and religion, and in changing their
desert places into fruitful fields, their myriads
of novels Of penury and want into happy
homes of comfort and abundance; for them
at last the Republicans shall no longer be
able to enact any tyrannical law, or to enforce
any unjust measure without the consent Of
the lawful representatives in Congress of the
Old Bourbon Democratic party.
They can commence their reformatory
measures and measures of amelioration as
early as next June or July, should the Dem
ocratic party so determine 1t is true the
regular session of the Congress to which this
majority of Representatives has been elected
will not begin for about thirteen months from
this date; yet there are enough Democrats in
the Senate and House of Representatives of
the present Congress to compel an extra ses.

tions heretofore made and unexpended on the
Both of next June will revert to the surplus
fund in the Treasury, thus leaving the admin

ment after that period in the absence of the
passage ofnew appropriation bills. Nor have
the representatives ofthe Democracy hereto

secure what they have regarded as important
results.
