The Election.
The election hn» yaned’ *twl wc rati now look about iU and *ee flic magnitude of the victory. * The Itc-1 publicans carry every Northern State fKfft New Jersey, aud peril Tp j New York Oregon is reported i doubtful, but lias probably gone UepaUicsk. Guam and -Colfax ara t-L&k-d by a popular majority that approx* mutes a half a million. '1 hive- , fourths of all the States have elected ! KcpuUican Electors and the Eleeto , _ r.vl Collage will probably stand 2yl for GkSxr to PS tor Sr.vaioi k. Nee- i estary to a choice, 148. The Republican strength in the r, S. Senate will IS somewhat inorcaaed, while in the House of Hr\r ~[ resentatives there will be an over- • whelming majority, although not w 1 iarge as at present. This w ill re- ' move ail opportunity for complaint of.inharmony between the Legi*lalive and Executive departments of the Government, and the veto prerogative of the president will be raised from its present humiliating ftixl farcical position to its former standing of respect. The Tenure of ! Oilce Act wiH become a dead letter, < so far as present, exigencies are coip e rued. The standing army may hf lessened. The clerical force of the various departments and menta may be decreased. Taxation will in consequence be lowered. A (eelmg of security and confidence iu ( the stability ami wisdom of the (tov-_ erhtnent and t'no ability of the people of this Republic to sustain free institutions, and to govern themselves, w ill at once spring up among all men, firmer in its foundation, broader in its proportions, and more rapid in its development, than At any time in our national history. Business and en- , lerprise of all kinds will receive a < new impetus unexampled in any pc* i riod, or in any country. Steps of uiiparalleled magnitude will he at once taken towards the development 1 <>l oar great natural and mechanical resources, because nil persons will ‘ he protected in their rights, and property, and the value of our currency is.decided by*: the unmistakable poll- jevof the people and the party they ha Ye elected to power.' ‘AtYef inauguration of Grant and Coltax. the people of the United Slates will bs citizens of the whde country. ju \ fad as well as in name, and thei r dec's,' rights and possession* will be as —sacred and secure in Texas as in * Maine, in A rknn'sas and Georgia as in Indiana »mT Ohio, in New Orleanc as in Boston. No banditti will 1 then fill the land with terror and crime. No Ku-Klux or other armed bands oflsssasMWi will be permitted to exist. No poiitictu murderers nil! be allotted to go unpunished. No petted official thieves will be snf*-' J’ered to commit depredations upon public and private property, in deti- j saceo! law and justice, ivt order riV/J be rettored , law wyi.r. nu KNi'pvdn, ‘ AND PEACE SECURED.
Are Small Majorities Best?
tsume cor tend, anti perhaps the j principle may be plausible, that it i were better for the country ami the Repnblican party-had the - victory been less decisive—that it would have been better U> bate liadmvorc Democratic ropresentaii ves iii both branches ©fthe National legislature. ; The argument is, that a minority j •troty; enough to command respect, j net* as a check upon the arbitrary i of majorities, keeping: alive tire prudence, vigilance and honesty of those they oppose, and arc the only natural and safe guardians of the virtues they onn not di- ' rcct Bat to us the matter apjrears in an altogether different light, Like all general rules this theory has its exceptions. And although Jojjx IiaKOOLFii said that the most efficient majority a party can havo in a legislative body is a majority of ope, yet there is fallacy in the statement, ns the record of .our National affairs for the lasi four years amply show. Had there been leas than a cwo-tlurds, Republican vote in Congress how laws have bpen caaclcd ? That these laws mart necessary, the condition of the country at the time of their enactment fully That they were
'plow. Unless there is two-thirds'! : dt Congress ot owe |i.'uO> haw can au J i amendment to bij for the wPonifciftße Stpes f j > That such emergences nrifie tre* 1 have only to read our history for the j | hist four years to pro\e. That Presitlcnt’s do not always decide for the t well-being of tlft; people, Mr. Jonx- ( siyfj e.ytfqcf'is evidence. That uii--1 uoritica sometimes fail to be the de- , posUorfes and guardian* of moral • and political virtue is shown by the ' course pf fin; Democracy since the | administration ot Mr. Push**. Thtm the argmnents arc not wholly in lav of of strong minorities! IVc 1 art* well satisfied with the Befmbii* 'can majority in Congress a* it is; j We do not complain because it is 1 I not largtr. If our Democratic 1 ! friend* rejoice that they have suececdrd iu vlocUng-a-fbw able men to J present their views in the councils oi the Nation, we certainly <h» not envy their happiness, nor wish to , deprive them of their pleasure. But: we do contend that it is not abso- j j lately requisite to national prosperj ity, nor pablie good, nor social hap* f ptness ihatTho Republican majority ! should be Jos. The Democratic minorities iu the Legislatures of the j 3SiSS of maine, Vermont and Mas*! laseiuisetts have been growing small i : and pcrupeelively less for eight vears 1 pa*t, y«t the people of those States , happy, prosptißßus and con-: I tented as are those of ’States where j , tlie virtues ot majorities are given I into the c.yre of “re.-pectable rnir.m-. * iliis,” | , Although wc do not advocate ithc j i total Extinction of party lines, yet * we <i j not believe if the whole power J of the general • and State govern- > 1 ments, throughout its various ram- i , ideations to the minutest details was j all given into tlie hands of the Re- ! ■ publican party, and all check minor-; ities ceased to exist, that the rights ' of individuals would be in the least impaired or endangered. Wo have ' , too much confidence in its devotion An freedom to believe the party that has destroyed" biavery in America : would attempt to curtail the consti- ( tutianal libertie's of the people; and j we fail to see the consistency of the ; argument which advocates the elec- j lion of minorities to have charge* ; over and preserve virtues they neither j : possess hot respect.
