elected a listing utsbed New Yorker Presi'

sess. In 1850 VIC propose to elect tbe most
accomplished oficer in the Federal army to
tina high office, and the people OF she North
bxnd themselves together as his and ouf
dcaclv enemies. Mose in SORROW than 10
singer do we say these things. Deeply dc
we regret 1t that we of the South are to con-
tlpse to be aliens and strangers In the land
Il our fathers.
We sbsll make no apologies for, nor ex'
pgsuatiors OF, anything that we have sara
o. to the probable outcome OF the elections
In Ohio and Indiana on the ilsth. We con-
sdeutly counted upon success 10 Indiana,
and because OF that confidence IN the result
In Indiana, entertained hopes OF carrying
Ohio, our theory being that both States
would go The same way. We expressed
ourselves on Tuesday upon this point, as
follows:
1--WE own that we expect both Ohio and
Indiana to vote the Democratic ticket To-
day. We ought to add that II Is because we
<xpect both OF those States to vote the saine
ticke,--be,h 10 90 Repulscan or both to go
Oe,nocratk-tbat we dare TO indulge such
hone. We are inclined to think that there
Is a certain tendency Of things just now
operai ing w hich cannot.lr resisted. III that
tendency il towards the success OF The
Democratic ticket, as we would lain be-
Heye, and do nope, then the stars IN their
courses will fight against Garfield, and
indiana and Ohio will both vote the Demo-
cratic to-day. But. on the other hand, II TIE
northern people still fear that the Gov
ernweEt would not be safe in the hands
OF the Democrats, to-morrow's Dispatch
wtll.cary good news to noDemocrat."
The result, as we have already SAID, is
evidence enough that the northern people
look upon us OF the Southas enemies. They
have solidided the North as an offset to the
solid South. Let us trust that the wrongs
of reconstruction days are not TO be re-
peated.
We feel strong inclination TO speculate
as TO what the effect is to be on the general
result OF the presidential election, and on
the fortunes Of the MALONE party in Vir-
gipia. We are afraid that the boilers do not
all mourn over the Democratic defeat in In
diana; bat we shall soon learn how much
reason there Is for that fear. One predic-
tion may now be safely made; and this Is
that II there Is TO be union or combna-
aion between the Republicans and the Ma
hone men IN Virginia, the latter will have
to 60 over to the former. The "faithful
allies" who will adhere to the boilers party
will, we predict, be few and far between.
As,oursG oyernor-stree neighbor is so fond
Of repeating, "Nothing succeeds like sue
eess..D ThiseFrench saying is as well IN.
Aerstood by the negroes as blythe whites;
and 1t may be that the way has now been
opened to a fair and decisise test Of the
ssatiye strength OF the Mahoneites and the
regular democrats. This may be poor
consolation under acrushing and unexpect-
ed defeat In. Indiana, but 1t is something to
be .thankfui.for.
