Mississippi conservatives who are not
thoroughly joined to the idols OF reaction
are beginning to cry out against the
/ YaZoO despOtism. 1t is to be hoped that
/ the feeling will increase until they can
recognize that all classes have the right to
enjoy the freedom whose absence they
are deploring.- Gazette.
The influence of the Ohio victory is
producing increased cheerfulness and
/ confidence among the Republicans in New
| York and Massachusetts. Such 4 trI-
umph is Invaluable in its tonic effects on
| the Republican workers and voters of
other States. unless it is taken as so sure
an indication of their own success as to
induce a fatal relaxation of necessary
work. We see no such effects this year.
Senator Ben. HiII's mission of peace to
New York was not productive of salts
| factory results. He found the bOlting
Democrats there a selfish and unprinci-
pied set of bandits who would not be

gether the Georgia peace-maker came
away discouraged, and he has succeeded
in imparting his encouragement to the
hungry crew of Bourbons ut Washing
tOn.-C Cincinnati Gazette.

When the Republican Legislature
meets at Columbus and takes a view o
the situation, it will be found that tn
