Show THE MORAE. OF THE ELECTIONS. ELEC-TIONS. The niuukc and Ju.it ol' the lain elections have cleared away and the rosultrtaio Cully known. The Democracy Demo-cracy lias rccuiveJ a filuniiiiiK defeat, directly traceable lo the corrupt course of Home of the Tammany leader.-. . New York city lias nobly responded to the appeal of tho.- who called upon it to di.-eard and di-avow oihYial corruption. cor-ruption. The Ueptiulican.s to-day have complete control of a majority of the State, nnd there m uVfiry pru.-p?et that, unless some Mroiitf reaction should cot in IrotJi cau.i now unrecognized, unre-cognized, or tho parly should split with il.H own weight, they will carry the Presidential election and Cleneral (rant will occupy the While llou.-c lor nuothor lour yeais. These elections have a uioial, and one gratifying and eon.iolins to every patriot, every lover of his country. It n that the people will not long endure unblushing wront in public norvanU Men proud of the majoi iucs which havo elected them to otliee, and feeling that for a time they havo almost unlimited un-limited control placed in their hand.-', may lorget tho source ol their power, , and counting upon the tlreiif;th of, parly influence may engage in or lend ; themselves to the real est wronirs 1 upoiiglho people; hut every once in a while that people puts furth it.s reat strength and hurU them to innignili- i canec. It lets them l'ecl that it makes ) and unniakcH public servants, no mat- j ter what olliec they may hold; and 1 that tho claims of parly are not strong enough to make honest men shut their oyea to evil-doing in high places. Tho late of parties in this country has been like that of governments in other parts of tho world, luntres taking tho place of centuries. Such govern- rnents have grown great, have won the leading rank among the powers of the oarLh, to fall because of the rotten- nosa which followed in their increase j of greatness. Tardea in the United I States have grown great because of j tho incflioicney or corruption of the oho in power, whether in a State j whero parly hues may be closely drawn, i or in tho republic. And tho overthrow ' of a corrupt sot of olheial.--, either in j a Stato government or in tho general government, is due to the name active eauso which elevated them tho people peo-ple The Democrats lost California becauso tho men whom they had placed in power failed to meet public expectation, expec-tation, aud wero not as rigidly upright and incorruptible ns they should have been. New York has been lo.sL to the sauio party because of the monstrous frauds and peculations of public men there; and the whole country will be lost to both parties and purify itself from them by the creation of a new one, tuoro powerful than cither, unless there- is a little more respect paid to patriotism and a little lens to partisanship. partisan-ship. That is the moral which the late elections teach, and it is one which professional politicians would do well to heed. Wo havo a strong, abiding faith in the future glorious destiny of tho United States, but in view of the events, facta and lessons of the past ten or twelve years, there seems a day coming rapidly when the groat people will repudiate party candidates and elect to sorve and represent thorn men whoso aim will be the good of all, not tho benelit of a few; the glory of the country, not the gain of party. That day will be hailed with joy by all true patriots. j C II HAP ADVEIITISIXO. I Advertisements uuder this heading ; not exceeding five lines, fifty cents for ! each aud every insertion.
