Tho Meaning OF the Result In California
and MnIne-A solid North Agair Con.
fronting n Solid South.
The Cincinnati Gazette Of yesterday dis.
courses as follows upon the meaning the
election results in two far apart States of
the North-Caliiornia on the Pacific and
Maine on the Atlantic:
"This is the beginning Of the answer OF
the Northern people to the Confederate
South, made solid by military force, aud
seeking to impose the lost cause OH the
nation. Itshows that solid South will
inevitably make solid North. And when
the Northern States are united, the $juth
is weak minority. The Northen people
are aware that free elections can not be
restored by the United States Marshals
and the United States army where the
ruling inhabitants are banded to destroy
them. But so long as free elections are
suppressed by force OF arms in the south
there should be no division in the North.
All division in the Northern people en-.
courages this crime in the South. On the
other hand, the unity of the Northern
people intimidates this crime. These
elections are the greeting which the
Northern people send to those who
fanCled they could put Confederate poll
tics into the control Of the nation. And
these are but foretaste OF what is com.
ing. The signs everywhere are of closing
up the Republican ranks and OF the split
ting up Of the opposition. Everywhere
the course Of the Republican party is
straightforward; everywhere the Demo-
cratic party is sinking its own flag to
make coalitions, and Is scattering itself in
side issues.
The "boom" betokens the complete tri-
umph Of the Republicans in the election OF
President and Of the next Congress. At the
present it is the trump for the elections
now pending. The gain OF Congressman
destroys the Democratic majority in the
House, and makes that party depend on
the National members. The general Re-
publican tide is pretty good assurance
against the election ofa President going in
to the House; but for such an event, the
gain in California balances the votes by
States, and gives to De La Matyr the bal
ance OF power in the Indiana delegation,
which would hold the balance in the cleo.
ton OF o President by the House.
The glory OF this is not merely that it is
party victory, and that It promises com.
plete party triumph, but because this
tends to the paCiication Of the country;
to the suppression Of the rising Conieder-
ate cause to the formation OF respect for
law in the South; to the establishment OF
law and order where force now rules, and
to the protection OF the rights Of all per-
sons.
