elect* under the law will not take place till

-it was concocted at a banquet to:Speaker Law.
rence, last week, in Philadelphia, that's bill
should bdbrought in during the session of - the

cane can carry, it through the - House byrt two- .
thirds iote; and 'through the Senate also, if .
they watch their opportunity when the absence
-of a single. D,arnocratic Seneator would gi've .
them the requisite inajOrity. We hardly think
eo high-handed . tt plot to gain political pOrier,
will be attempted, even by the reckless_ majoi
ity Who now control our Legislature; but

The glorious result cif . the recent, municipal
election in the city of Lancaster is an aehieve
ment of•nn small magnitude,-and - thoUgh but a
loca . l
election, it is an' index pointing with an
unmistakeable and imMovable anger to the tri 7
umphant success of the Pemo'craic party in the
great battle . thatis to be fought - in November
for the sovereignty of- the States, the:Union
as it is, and' the Constitution as it was framed.'
• • LOcal elections generally ,depend.muChl upon.
the character of the candidates for their result,
as really no political , prineiple is involved in

Lancaster election. It, was purely of aparti-.
san characten, so fought; with the most bitter
onslaught on the part of the • vanquished,' and
so won. by the•gallant pemocracy. • '•
Not an unimportant feature of this signal
election is, the fact that, the Republicans -and
