thing as to the political character of

with which it was received everywhere

closed, and its great popularity among

ficient guarantee of hs future orthodoxy
and usefulness. As we will not prepare

ply regular subscribers from time to time,

We beg our ten thousand subscribers
to excuse us for a delay of one day in get
ting this weeks' FATHER ABRAHAM to
PRESS. Our enlargement. and the loss of
one business day this week, which was
exclusively devoted to the country, not
only by ourselves, but also by the men
employed in the Printil ;1, Office, will be,
we are sure, sufficient e: planation.

TnE Reading Times says that no
less than five hundred bats. of all descrip
tions, were torn to pieces by the jubilant
Republicans of that place in front of the
League House on Tuesday night. They
were so delighted .and overjoyed at the
good news that they took this mode of
expressing their enthusiasm. The hat
trade is no doubt brisk in our sister city
just now.
In order to enable us to make more
perfect arrangements, and to afford our
friends and patrons ample time to renew
their subscriptions and make up their
clubs no paper will be issued next
week. All permanent subscriptions will
date from November 20th., on which
day, and weekly thereafter FATTIER
ABRAMM will appear as a permanent in
stitution. Hurry up (your !clubs. Lists
should be received at this office on or be
fore Wednesday, November 18th.
On the 4th of March next, if alive,
General Ulysses S. Grant and Schuyler
Colfax will be inaugurated President and
Vice President of the United States—
now not only the greatest Republic, but
also the mightiest nation on earth—hav
ing been chosen by a popular majority
of half a million, even in spite of the
most infamous outrages and frauds ever
perpetrated In this country.
This is the glorious and final triumph
of Republicanism—of National Unity,
Liberty, Equality and Law. It secures
to us the blessings of perpetual peace
throughout the land. EVERY MAN—the
black and the white man alike—will
henceforth enjoy the right to live for
himself, for his family, and for his coun
try. lle may go where he will , from
the St. Lawrence to the Gulf; from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Rio
Grand to the North Pole, with or with
out a carpet-bag, as he may elect. The
Stars and Stripes will float in triumph
over the whole of this country, and, un
der it, all will be protected alike. Trea
son will be made odious ; assassins and
perjurers and lawless villains will be pun
ished. The national credit and the na
tional honor has been preserved, and it
is safe to say that we are about to enter
upon better times than the American
people ever enjoyed. WE HAVE PEACE !
One of the most gratifying aspects of
our great National triumph is the rebuke
thereby administered to the base spirit
which, while vaunting itself Conserva
tive and opposed to disunion, is forever
seeking to foment jealousy and ill-feel
ing between the East and the West.
Few meaner exhibitions of this spirit
have been made than those of Horatio
Seymour during his recent stumping
tour, wherein he managed to swell the
majorities for Grant at every point where
he held forth. To excite envy at the
\Vest of din ninro sample banking capital
of the East (as though borrowers and
debtors should be bankers instead of
creditors and lenders,) was among his
most characteristic displays of the arts of
an office-seeking demagogue.
The vote of the People gives the
proper rebuke to this meanness.
magnificent majority of Massachuse
is almost matched by that of Illinoi4';
lowa is as hearty for Grant as VermoSt ;
Pennsylvania and Indiana pull together
as they have almost always done ; and
the gain of Connecticut in the East is
parallelled by that of California in the
West. New England is solid for Grant ;
so is the region North-West of the Ohio.
Blessings on the East and West, one and
inseparable 1 "What God hath joined,
together let not man put asunder."—
Nita) York Tribune.
In this hour of exultation, let us in
dulge no revengeful spirit. Even the
rebel leaders in the recent bloody out
rages in the South will see that their
reign of terror is over. Invited to sub
mission by the magnitude of General
Grant's majority, they can have no fur
ther temptation to violence. All their
eilbrti have proved in vain, and they
must now choose between obedience to
law and the inevitable resulting penal
ties. After the surrender of Lee, on the
9th of April, 1865, they were ready to
yield everything to save their lives. An
other battle has been fought and another
surrender has been compelled; and now,
with the recollection of their former ac
quiescence and their subsequent ingrati
tude, they may perhaps take some coun
sel from prudence, in view of the fact
that he who forgave so much three years
ago will enter upon the administration of
the Government on the 4th of March,
ISO, with almost imperial power to
make good in every one of its meanings
his deliberate declaratitn, "Let us have
Peace."
Lancaster, Pa
Semmes swinging around did not pay
any more than Andy's in 1866. So far as
the returns of the Presidential election
have been received ; in every State, county
and town where Seymour spoke there is
an increased Republican majority. This
is true of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, and is especially the case in
this State, where he spoke in Pittsburg,
Harrisburg, Reading and Philadelphia,
in every one of which places there is a
decided increase for Grant and falling off
from Seymour, co spared with the vote
at the State election.

No city in the United States contribu

just won, as Philadelphia. In spite of
the most stupendous and barefaced frauds
—surpassed only by those of the demo
cratic thieving and prostituting hells of
New York, and the wholesale system of
violence and murder of New Orleans,
the high-toned and ever reliable Repub
licans of the great city of American In
dependence have succeeded, not only in
preventing the triumph of the outrages
upon the ballot-boa referred to, but also
in contributing several thousand towards
the very decided Republican majority of
Pennsylvania.

These dens of vice, ignorance and
human degradation rolled up immense
majorities for Seymour and Blair on
Tuesday last. New York city, which
contains sixty thousand professional
thieves, pick-pockets and burglars, gave
about sixty thousand Democratic major
ity, the greater part of which was rolled
up in the wards embracing the Five
Points, Corlaer's Hook, Mackerelvillo
and Water Street Dance Houses. As we
