Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 2, Number 27, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 October 1858 — THE RESULT. [ARTICLE]

THE RESULT.

in looking over the result us the late elections, every observer will admit that the opposers of the present Administration I have g reat, cause to rejoice. While we have e ected our own gallant champion of the Ninth District by an increased majority of 1,930 —his majority being 1,036 in 1856 the Republicans of Indiana have increased their Congressmen from , five to seven, and one Anfi-Lecompton Democrat (John G. Da’Vis) is elected, who will, we believe, act with his Republican colleagues on all vital question dividing the parties. In 1856 Indiana sent six Democrats to “U’ongi 1858 she sends but throe. Ohio elected twelve Republicans and nine Democrats to Congress in 1856-—in 1858 she sends fifteen Opposition and six I Democrats. I -Un 1856 Pennsylvania sent fifteen Democrats to Congress, and ten Republicans—in 1858 she sends twenty Opposition and five Democrats. And what is particularly gratifying is that J. Glancy Jones, Buchanan’s bosom friend and the Lader of his forces in the Hoose, who was elected two years ago | by a majority of 6,004, has now been defeated by a majority of nineteen. This is a bitter pill to Buchanan, and it. ought to teach him to respect his pledges-and promises in the future. In the three States of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, a gain of thirty-three Opposition Congressmen has been made. This is gloriods news, and if we had a .rooster we would now let him -crow.
