The November Elections.

Every Northern State in which
an election was held on the 18th inst.
has gone Republican, and the ex.
pectations Of the most sanguine Re-
publicans have been far, surpassed.
IN commenting upon the result and
it's causes the New York Tribune
editorially say IS: ne4.a#... @as.a.
A Solid North sends greeting to a
Solid South. Yesterday answers the
last session of Congress, and all the
insolent disloyalty which, latter grow.
ing for years, found expression there.
The grand and resistless uprising
which followed the shot in Charles.
ton Harbor in 1861, finds an echo
in the returns Of to-day. Once more
the North is united. The work
which men did with their bullets
they have determined not to spoil
with their ballots. Here, on the
very threshold Of "a victory which
means, if they are wise, twenty
years more Of power, they serve no.
tice upon the South that there is no
vindictiveness in their triumph.
IN Yes, Men of the South, we haye
done enough for Cancellation. We
offered you Horace Greeley, and in
sisted upon amnesty for all. The
same Northern element which then
failed has since found means to offer
you better terms than you, ever ex.
pected. President Hayes held out
the hand of reconciliation. Troops
were withdrawn; advice of South.
ern men was heard in appointments;
everything was done that could be
done to leave the South without ex..
cuse for hostility. What has been
the answere The South has answer.
ed BY its Ku:Klux8 clans, its rifle.
clubs, and it's systematic assassina.
ton of Republicans It has ans.
wered by the complete suppression,
Of the colored vote. 1t has answer.
ed by the. late Confederate Congress,
and the swarm of war claims, and
the countless Southern jobs which
crowd the record, and the nearly SOL
id vote of Southern representatives
for every form of Reputation. It
has answered by the open alliance
of men who rebelled with those
Northern. men who sympathized
with rebellion; by the conspiracy of
those who carry Southern States by
force with those who try to carry
/ Northern States by fraud. A baser.
meaner and more dangerous con-
spiracy against free government than
the old South ever concocted has
been very near success.
Men of the South, you have your
answer. You had almost clutched
the National Government. Had
you been a little .lesseager, had the
pirates crew remained hidden under
matches only . little longer, possibly
resistance would have been too late.
Thanks TO the Confederate Congress
the recent session showed the South
ern purpose. The coalitions Of
Southern rebels and Northern gym
pathizers rashly threatened TO stran.
gle theU Union unless permitted to rule
it. The work Of q long session was
condensed by Senator Hill in his re-
cent declaration that no Southern
man Of self.respect would ever ad.
nit that rebellion was a crime.
These acts and words came like q fire.
bell IN the night to awaken the
North. The real intent Of the South
was seen, aud at once the North
answers. The history Of the coun.
Try forstwenty years has been,settled
in one summer. Let the South do
what II may, from this time forth;
it has planted convictions already
which q quarter Of q century will
not uproot. This, day the Solid
South is further from the rule Of the
country BY more than twenty years
