and their votes we're given to the enemies
of the Union.
The south rules the democratic party in
congress. 1t furnishes the greater part of
the democratic majority in the house. 1t
has the craftsmanship of twenty-one out OF
thirty four of the committees Of the house.
In the distribution of offices at the organ
izalion of the house, the will of the south
was supreme. 1t Is true that the speaker
was taken from the north, but he was
peace democrat, who, by voice and vote,
opposed the prosecution Of the war; but
all the other important offices were given
to the Frzhugb, that "biger man
ethan old Grant," who from being SER
gesnt.at-arms of the confederate congress
was made doorkeeper of the house; one of
Ashby's colonies who was made post
master the chaplain who would not pray
for the president of the United States, be-
cause the president was Abraham Lincoln;
aud SO down 10 the rebel surgeon Handle
ton whose son was named John Wilkes
Booth ''in honor Of" Lincoln's assassin
The organization of the house and of the
committees thereof, chow the rebel control
Of the democratic party, and shows the ele-
ment which will rule the country in case of
democratic success.
What the restoration of this element TO
power mesns, we need not stop, this morn
ing, to show. 1t is sufficiently evident
| from the nature of the bills introduced into
congress from the south at the present ses-
| sion, and from the course of the party In
| the several southern states. II is patent TO
| the most careless observer. The result in
| Alabama and Kentucky shows that there lie
danger of the south coming once more into
ascendancy, of the men who endeavored to
destroy the Union becoming the rulers of
the Union. The warning has come in good
time. 1t should, and we believe will,
awaken the north to the danger. 1t will,
we believe, unite the north to fight over
the old battle again, and to decide, once
agsin and forever, that the government OF
the Union shall not be given into the hands
of those who sought to destroy it, ard who
to-day, declare that their course in so doing
was right. This, however, cannot be &C
complished without work-earnest, steady
united, persistent work. To Vermont il
given the front place in the battle. Tht
first blow will be struck by us. We cal
make the blow encouraging or discour
aging, telling or disastrous one. Tit
cause of the Union, the saving of the coun
try from rebel rule is, as it were, in ou
hands. If we do our duty, the country il
safe. i we falter, the cause is lost. TIL,
stake is great let us prove ourselves equa
to the task imposed upon us.

THE SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.

The summer elections at the south have
been held, and the results are favorable to
the democracy. In Kentucky, where only
county elections were held, partial and in
complete returns have been received, but
these are sufficient to show that the demo-
cracy have made large gains over 1872,
when they carried the state by some twelve
thousand msjority. In Alabama, it is re-
ported that the democrats have succeeded
by some forty thousand majority, against
thirteen thousand in 1874, and eleven thou
sand for Grant in 1872; electing seven
democratic representatives IN congress,
against six two years ago, and three four
years ago; and securing some four-fifths
of both branches of the legislature thus
leaving their senatorial delegation intact
a successor to George Goldthwaite, demo-
crat, United States senator whose term
will expire in 1877, being chosen by the
legislature elect
These results are, as we have said, favor
able to the democracy, and they will, un-
doubtedly, "enthuse" over them greatly,
as, indeed, we saw that they did yesterday
They have reason to be encouraged. And
while they have reason to take courage
therefrom, the result, if properly i'm
proved, can but lead to their utter and
overwhelming defeat in the presidential
election. Instead of being discouraged, the
republicans should be encouraged to put
forth greater efforts, to continue the con-
test with a determination that will over
come opposition, and secure success. The
result in these states Is but another indica-
ton of the contest we are fighting. 1t is
the renewal of a sectional contest on the
part of the south 1t is 1860 over again
united and determined south against a
divided north. The democracy start out
with compact and united south, and their
only hope of success rests in so dividing
the northern vote as to secure three or four
states.
1t is sectional contest, because the
south now as 1t always has, controls the
democratic party and dictates its policy.
1t Is now held back, II at all, because it
needs the votes of handful of northern
states to secure full power 1t dictated
the nominations at st. Louis. 1t nomiDa-
ted northern men, because it dare not take
southern men, and that simply because
such a showing of its hand would insure
defeat at the outset. 1t dictated and con-
sented to the nominations of Tilden and
Hendricks, because all through the war, as
well as before and since, they were the
faithful allies, the willing tools, of the
ruling power at the south, the old slaveoc-
racy because during those days they never
contributed dollar to, or aided by voice
or vote, the cause of the Union, but, on
the contrary, their sympathies, their voices
