WAsHISGToN, d. G., Oct. l3, 1876.
The Rubcon has been passed. Republicans
are still victorious. Ohio and Indiana have also
spoken and are added TO the pyramid OF States,
bound to cast til cir electoral votes for nayes
and Wheeler. Vermont, New hampshhe,
Maine, Colorado, Ohio and Indiana are the
preliminary voices on The side Of freedom,
good government aud the perpetuiiy Of the
Union. Georgia aud West Virginia only 60
toward the bourbonic column, the chief sup
pert OF which is TO be United South" and
the moral tendency OF which is to stop the
wheels Of progress, and TO felter inteTminubly
conscientious convictions aud free thought.
The fight has been hard one in the States
OF the Northwest. Recognizing the fact that
they must make a stand somewhere. the De-
mocracy threw down the gage Of serious bat
tie in Ohio aud Indiana. Mere they brought
II their appliances to bear. Here they spent
their mo uey lavishly, Here their orators load
cd the air with snphistcal evasi"ns OF the
main questions. And here they havs been de-
feated very positively Though nat disastrouSly,
as tue large Republican gains for Congress
distinctly show. Iiswell now to take view
Of the situation, in order to prepare for hna'
effort for asceudsncy between Republicanism
aud Democracy in November next.
| The point seemed IN be conceded that IL
! Ohio aud Indiana, or either Of them, should go
strongly Democratic in ctober, the Presiden-
tial contest would be very much intensified, and
perhaps made bitter beyond all the precedent.
| On the Other hand it was adm itted that by 20
ing Republican, whether the maturity was
large or small, the hopes Of Democratic success
would be ssrinusly dimiuiahed, even though
there should came up t. the support Of the
Buurbons United South" made so by shed
ding blood freely aud thereby inaugurating a
wholesome ystem OF terrur. BY voting large
| Iy for R.publicAnism all Democratic hope
would be crushed. By voting closely, as has
been the case, the November eunteHl will AL
most OF ne cessity be remarkably spirited, and
/ in some localities, we fear, very ven"mous
The hungry horde Of ufii ce hunters will fight
those in possession 0f The Government with all
the ma aiiguIy and desperation of their ma
lures.
Situated as We are, It must be expected now
that the words will go forth from the litcineil
of Tammapy TO make "C nited South" AT all
hazards. In this course, il will be urged, lies
the only hope of the Democracy. The negTC
