The Late Elections

The Republicana crowed a little too loudly over the late eleetions and beforo they were entirely out of the woods. Despite the fraud.s perpetrated in both Indiana and Ohio, and the manipulation of the soldiers' vote, they have gained nothi ng to brag of. The N. Y. Tribune concedes a Democratie majority in Pennsylvania on the homo vote of 751, while the World claims that it is several thousand, and will nearly offset the soldiers' vote. Tbe membera of Congress stand aecording to Democratie couut 14 to 12, a Deinocratre gain of two ; and according to Republican count 12 and 12, Puimsylvania is sure for McCi.e;.í,an. In Ohio we have gained over 40,000 on the home vote, and shall do still better in Nove.nber. In Indiana Moktun's majority ia figured at 10,000, a Republicun "loss of several thousand, while tho Demócrata claim both branches of the Legislatnre. MoClellan is much stronger than were the local tickets, and will sweep the State. The ekiea are brightening; jL2T It ia an off-repeated assertion of our Eepublican friends that no loyal man has any reason to iear arbitary arrest, and need not proclaim against the ringing of Scretary Skwahd's bell, or the click of the telegraph in Stanton's office. Now, this may or may oot bo; but, if true, it ia.no reason why a Con6titutiou and law-loving citizen should not eensure and denounce such palpable and outrageous violations of the Constitutional rights of his neighbors. For one, we prefer to liold and eojoy our rights under the laws of the land, and not by the consent or forbearance of Abraham Lincoln', or any of his Secretaries, Generáis, Colonels, Captains, Frovost-Marshals, or their several spies and detectives. We denounce the whole system of arbitrary arrests as aimed directly at the liberties of the people. - The Courts in all the States not in rebellion are trust-worthy and loyal ; and if the American people are worthy the liberties bequeathed them, they v.'ill demand and insist that the Courts be kept wide open to every citizen, and that any man suspected of, or cbarged with crime shall be tried befora a jury of his peers instead of by a military court. L=■L" We were present at Lima Cen ter, on Friday evening last, and listenec to the diseussion between Hon. B. F Gbanoeb and D, Cisamer, Esq., of this city. The meeting was largely attended, anc was organized by electing Messrs. Daiuus Pierce and Samsoï Parker, Chairmen. Somethiug like the following resolution - we do not know that it was reduced to writing - was submitted by the speakers as the basis of the discussion : Resolved, That the principies of the Democratie party, as set forth in the Chicago Platform, are correct, and ought to be ratified by the American people. The discussion was opened by Mr. Grangek in a fair, succinct, and plain statement of what the Chicago Platform ís. The first resolution he ventured to assert would not be questioned as declared for the preservation of the Union interest. Mr. Cramek followed, denying that the resolution was in favor of the Union or that the Platform was a Union platform, and proved the position, if not by going back to the flood, by quotiug the enunciations of individual Southern Democrats, made years before the secession of a State. Each gentleman spoke four times, and the discussion was conducted in the main fairly, so far as freedom from iudulgence in personalties or invectives was concerncd, but took a wide latitude. Mr. Granger showed up clearly the inconsisteocies of the Administration, its wide departure from the principies announced at the outset, and charged that without a change of men and rueasures the Union could never be restored. At the close of the discussion it was moved that a vote of thauks be extended to both speakers for their able addresses. A gentleman - we do not judge him by his inotiou - moved to aniend by thanking Mr. Cramer for his able defenge of the Government, and Mr. Grangek, for his able defense of treason and traitors in arms This in tended insult to Mr. G. was received with hisses, the amendment was not and the original motion was unanimously carricd.
