The following telegram from Mr. John
| Forsyth, the @c.l known editor Of the
! hi i,. ..s3lstsr, to a friend in this city,
s.ls attended to have been read at the
4 meeting of the Manhattan Club on last
Thursday evening, but through its mis-
direction reached its destination only
| yesterday morning. Our readers will be
| glad to learn from it in an absolutely
authentic form the extent Of the victory
won in Alabama on Tuesday last over
the common enemy of good government,
freedom, and true progress in all actions
Of the Union:
"Tell the Manhattan Club that Ala
bama has elected Democratic Govern
or, SApreme Court and State officers.
All these by at least ten thousand major
| ity, making gain over the last election
| OF eighteen thousand votes. We have
elected six Democratic Congressman, and
in the city and county Of Mobile the whole
Democratic ticket wins by u majority OF
, seventeen hundred votes. The Legisla-
ture also is largely Democratic. Our peo-
pie are overjoyed at their deliverance;
As well indeed they may bep II we ex-
cept Louisiana and South Carolina, the
| Ireland and the Poland of Republican
misrule, no State in the Union has suffer-
ed so terribly from the corruption and
| the brutalities OF the Administration par
| ty as Alabama. 1t was upon Alabama
| that LRndaulet Williams, surrendering
| himself, and with himself the Federal
| Government, to such rufians and rogues
as Munchausen Hayes, concentrated the
whole power OF his temporary despotism.
| In Alabama the atrocious crime of be-
longing to the party which has chosen
Tilden, the slayer Of Tweed, to the Cover
ship of New York, and CASTOR, the slayer
of Butler, to the GovershiP of Massochu-
setts, was punished by Landaulet Will
liams and his tools with lawless manacles
and with unwarranted imprisonment.
Respectable citizens were seized in Ala
bama by United States soldiers in broad
| daylight, handcuffed, and sent off hun
dreds OF miles from their homes for the
express purpose of preventing them from
/ helping to organize peaceable, lawful
| opposition to the party which has sent
that branded liar Hayes to Congress, and
which has made the public securities Of
all the Southern States it has been al
lowed to curse with its control to become
q kissing and a reproach in all the finan-
| cial markets of the world.
Rightly indeed, then, may the honest
people Of Alabama rejoice and exult in
great deliverence which the victories of
Tuesday last has given us all, both at the
North and at the South, and it brings
with it substantial reason to hope for q
| greater delverence still two years hence.
But it isin the Southern States, above all
| that this great deliverance should be
hailed with q religious thankfulness.
Now that the battle has been won, hon
est men, contemplating the causes which
| made it necessary that the battle should
be fought, will devoutly wonder that
| courage to fight it at all should be found
in people given over, as the Southern
people for ten years past have been given
| over, to the absolute tyranny of an ire
sistibie majority welded by an irrespon.
sible Administration. To all intents and
purposes the rule of Grant and of his of
| fcials over the Southern States has been
absolute tyranny. The majority of the
| nation for ten unhappy years has posi-
| lively refused to entertain any question
as to the conduct of the Federal Admin
| tration in its dealings with the South.
| Scoundrels like Kellogg, and Bullock, and
Moses have been assured of perfect i'm
| punity in any possible extravaganza of
official rascality by the simple fact that
they worked their wicked will within the
geographical limits of the States which
| fourteen years ago attempted to with
draw from the Union. The people upon
| whom these scoundrels have thus inso-
lently and openly preyed might really
have been forgiven ii they had abandon
| ed all hope of answer or redress. That
| they have chung like men through all
/ this trial to their faith in the ultimate
| Justice and brotherhood Of the Northern
people, resolved, in the magnificent lam
| guage of SHELLY, to
| -r---'Hope till hope creates
From it's own wreck the thing it eontem-
/ plates"
is one Of the grandest features of contem-
porary history, and cur ohildren's child.
\ rem viii npphal TO it, as an enduring wi5-
ness to the vitality Of the principles Of
/ American liberty.
