wood. Whenever the democrats can
agree upon policy and muster up

Toe Times, this morning, ssys {:
The sober, pst'iCtc people of the
United States have great reason to
Be specially thankful for the result of
The election yesterday. The republi-
can Candidates have won the elec-
t 'ral votes OF this state by an ovei-
whelmiag majority and with these
the electoral votes of every s.ate that
10 1870 was nos tainte1 with the
curse OF slavery. Il is a great victory
for all ideas which underlie the Amer
ican system of government. It settles
many questjons which only yesterday
were open 20 some dispLts. Il dete r.
mines, in the first place and chiefly,
that the government Of tue nation
-hall be national and not the govern
ment OF party, section, or race.
1t extinguishes forever the mad hope
# tle political leaders Of the
south thst ;hey can retain
| or extend by aid OF northern
| votes, the power which they have
showed in their own section, and no
greater benefit could have been cons
ferred upon that section, as
we'll as upon the rest of the union
Fhe extent OF the republican victory
yesterday also puts at rest all fears ths
| here ban be any de- quite as TO carrying G
into practical effe ct le decision Of tht
| country. This is the cause for special
| thankfulnese. There Is now no pos>
sibility OF the successful and desperate
game which the democrats were pre-
pared tn play.
