this party was born. with one or two ex'
ceptions, it has disappeared from the
arena of politics. Last year, at the Octo'

Now, that party did not present a
ticket of its own in that city. This sud

one which occurred at Louisville last year
The facts seems to be that outside of Mich

victories this year in the East than in the

From the Albany Journal
The Spring Elections.

The result of the spring elections both
of State campaigns is highly encouraging
to Republicans. Nowhere has there been
any material weakening of their forces
while in no small number of important
localities they have shown increased
strength.
In our own State the inroads of the new
parties have been much greater among
the Democrats than among Republicans
as shown in the choice OF Supervisors. As
compared with last year the new elements
have taken from the two leading parties
sixty mine seats in the Boards OF Supervis.
ors. But of this number only twenty are
wrested from the republicans while forty
nine are taken from the democrats And
tine general result in municipal elections
in the several cities of the State shows
that the republican organic alton is COM
pact and intact.
Connecticut, having gone into the No
vember column, we get no expression from
that State this year except through the
local elections, where home issues have
generally prevailed. SO far, however, as
strictly political questions have entered
into the contests there is no indication that
the republican party is not holding its own
But 10 New Hampshire, where the can
vass was important though less animated
than is usually the case in that State, the re
publicans won decisive victory, electng
their whole State ticket by good lnaiori-
ty. carrying every Congressional district
on the gubernatorial vote and securing a
very large preponderance in the legisla
ture. And now Little Rhody maintains
her time-hon0red prestige. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that four ticket were in the
field, the republicans make a clean sweep
and swell their majority on Governor from
AL last year to 3, 800 now. The leglsla-
ture is largely republican in both branches
A noticeable feature of the result is fall
ing of of 1852 in the democratic vote
while the republican decrease is onl,
l.340.
In the West the result in Indiana is,
perhaps, the most noteworthy, from the
fact thai the new parties have been more
active there than in almost any Other. Blu,

Let Have Harmony.

The efforts making at Washington Il
promote harmony in the republican or
yanizarion are wise and timely. They
will meet with the general approval OF iht
party, irrespective OF what may be thought
OF the policy pursued by the administra
ton. We are approaching elections which
will be of great importance in a nationa
point of view. We have an opportu-
nityto regain our supremacy in the ma
tional House of representatives, 1t we car
succeed in uniting our strength in the Con
gressional districts Nothing but division
and folly in our own ranks can prevent u
from electing a good working republican
majority of the next House. II we 90 in
to the elections divided and wrangling we
shall be defeated; but il we harmonic
our differences we shall achieve a victor,
that will have great results.
II is well that the President is to be APP
preached in friendly manner upon this
subject. and his cooperation invited in
the work of preparation for the struggle
that is TO come. Upon all essential prin-
ciples there will be no fliculty in secur
ing perfect harmony among republicans
throughout the length and breadth OF the
land, while upon other subjects, of minor
importance. freedom OF opinion should be
allowed. This has ALWAYS been the course
which the republican party has pursued,
and in This way il has never failed to Sc
cure harmony maintain the strength OF
its organization, aud achieve the glorious
successes which are recorded in its favor.
In the long struggle over the slavery
question differences of opinion often
arose in regard TO the policy to be pur-
sued but the party conventions adhered
to the fundamental, essential doctrines
and allowed the largest liberty outside OF
that. In regard to temperance and many
other subjects of public interest this wise
spirit of federation has prevailed. 1t was
through the exercise of this spirit. direct
ed by statesmanike minds, that Union
nCic
to act together in unity and effectiveness
for The suppression Of the rebellion and
the support of measures since rendered
necessary in the reconstruction of the
South and by the emancipation of the col
ored people.
Let us have peace and harmony within
our own ranks as the first step to success.
Let us invite the cooperation of all who
believe in the essential principles of the
party. Policies are transient but princi-
pies are eternal. Presidents will run their
race in brief space of time, bu, the re-
publican party will continue from gener-
alton to generation. We may elect ma
jority of republicans to the next House il
we will but cultivate harmony. and since
the Senate will soon be democratic, it be-
hooves US to spare no effort to gain con-
troll of the House. This is .coigne of
vantage" which we ought 10 seize and

Pension Bill Passed by the House
SPECIAL to the Boston Advertiserl

WASHINGTON, April II.
The success Of the committee on invalid pen
sions IN getting the Hou.e to adopt the scheme of
paying pension agents prepared by them, instead
OF that reported by the appropriations committee,
was very decided Que The House was strongly
opposed to tho policy of transferring the pension
business to the treasury department, as proposed
by the committee on app OPERATIONS, or to the war
department, as proposed nv some gentlemen, and
they favored the propo. itlon from the pensions
committee, made and supported with force and
skill by Mr. Powers of Name. 1t is estimated
that this will effect saving of over 500 600 10
the cost of paying pensions. The amendment re-
quiling all pension agents to be appointed from
army officers on the retired list, was actively sup
ported by General Butter and majority of the
democrats, but few republicans voted for il. The
amendment requiring all pension agents to be dis
abled Union soldiers, was voted with a loud ac-
claim, but the soberer Senate Will doubtless mod
ify If not II ect it.
