says: The defeat of Hurd and Morrison and the narrow escape of Carlisle s ould awaken the Democracy from its slumbers and destroy l 8 false sense of security. In the result of Tuesday we hear a trumf et call to battle. There are trait rs within the camp; there are dangers that threaten us tlint can only be conquered by relentless, by unremitting, by unwavering warfare. The House is saved to us, but if lost it should only impress on us the necessity of putting on the whole armor of Democracy. The gigantic power of the concentrated and ill-gotten wealth of the North is arrayed against us. It was this wealth that made burd’s victory impossible; it was this wealth that was poured out like water in Morrison’s district; it w sthis bloodmoney that organized the labor societies of Covington and Newport against Mr. Carlisle. The danger in this is something more than political; it is moral and social. This money in debauching the voters. To these public plunderers bribery is a virtue. They stop at nothing, ana will buy the constituents of Representatives they find impossible to buy.
