Looming up through all the

Mississippi stands as a conspirious
example Of what courage and for
titude can accomplish under the
most adverse circumstances. With
all the power Of an inscriptions
and ever meddling administration
against her people, and the base
cunning Of imported adventures,
whose every effort has been to ex-
cite dissension and provoke riot,
she has. without any charge OF vio-
lence, thrown off the yoke which
was so giievous. and has taken
her proper place in the ranks Of
the opposition. History hardly
furnishes such an example Of pa
tience under severe provo a on.
and Of final triumph and deliver
ance over difficulties ,ac,i a, few

due to the GOODNESS and courage Of
a people capable Of snch sacrifices

State in their favor, the Republi-
cans have a smaller plurality than
in 1871.
New York went Republican in
1871 by 4s,907. This year, against
the combined forces of the Repub-
licans and the canal ring, and in
the face of the Democratic apathy
born of overconfidence, the Demo-
Gratis have carried the State by
nearly as large a majority as that
given for their opponent four years
ago.
Maryland went Democratic
by l5,l35 in 1871. This year the
Republicans were so weak that
they dared not put ticket of their
own in the field, but endorsed
and supported one placed in nom
ination by dissatisfied Democrats.
The Democrats carried the State
by handsome majority against
the combination.
The Republican plurality in
Massachusetts, of 81 ,404 in 1871 is
replaced in 1875 by one Of barely
5000.
Minnesota gave a majority for
the Republicans Of $4,000 in 1871;
in 1873 the majority was 10000.
Wisconsin was carried by the
Republicans in 1871 by $3.50 ma
jority. This year the greater por-
ton OF the Democratic State ticket
is elected.
These are all the States which
held elections in both 1871 and
1875. 1t will be seen that OF the
thirteen States the Democracy
have carried three-New York,
Connecticut and California-which
went against them in 1871; that
they par y carried Wisconsin,
which was among the States class
ed as certainly Republican in
1874; that they have placed them
selves. on a level with the Republic
cans in New Hampshire, and have
made gains in every other State
where elections were held. Where
they had bnt two States ont Of
thirteen in 1871, they have now

election, as much Democrat as Re-
publican while the Republicans
instead of ten States out of thir-

carried six. Or, put it differently,
in States in which the Republicans
had a net majority on the popular
vote over the Democracy Of over
100000 in 1871, the Democracy
have in 1875 a net majority Of
about $4,000 over the Republicans.
