The notabls features Of the day as developed
are:
/. That New York city did no. sacrifice Clevs-
LAND, but gave what was expected.
2 That the tariff agitation lost New York
State and probably Connecticut to the Demo
Gratis.
3. That the tariff agitation had not the slight
est effect the Northwestern or Western
States, when, rather taan decreasing their Re-
puolIcan majorities. have increased them.
These seem to DO the main points. as devel-
oped ov hasty review OF the ballots. As the
details come, many significant facts will be
gathered.

The old slave States may still overawe,
slaughter and defraud the colored people of the
right OF suffrage, but they need look for no
effective alliance at the North Before another
presidential election Dakota, Montana and
Washington will be admitted into the Union,
which Of itself would be easily decisive. but the
census of 1850 will give toe Nation a new appor-
tionment TO the great advantage of the Repuo-
hcan Northwest and the disadvantage of the
Democratic South. Between these two great
and inevitable facts there is no danger OF ony
other presidential contest with the Repub lcan
party so heavily Handicapped as il was In 1858,
and that, too however tenacious the Democ-

The task present. ted to the incoming Presidents

scarcely be exaggerated. Conflicting sectional

mains that the partv about TO again assume The

Chie.1o Times
The educational campaign has educated the
Republican party. As year by year the feeling
engendsrsd by the war of the rebellion dies
away. and n new generation of voters become
active mere party names will have little Of the
attraction which has held many eeetor as in q
leash. That party cannot lean with its old-time
confidence upon the potency OF It's history. 1t
must meet new issues as they arrive A new
gsnerarioG will insist upon settling the public
questions OF that generation. Noting the result
Of Tuesdays election in Illinois Iowa and Indi-

will ever again 60 TO the country upon a resolu-

Beeesssries of life even If thereby the tax shall
be taken from rum and tobacco. The popular
drift does not lie that way.
