VIE VICTORY-ITS LESSONS.
The astounding victories of, the - people, -
• speaking through the - organitation of the
Iltremocratic party, in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana,. have cheered l
the drooping
spirits of the true friends of the country
everywhere, and open‘d the door of hope!
for deliverance from our National calann- ;
ties: It ittemplaatilailly the voice of, the
people—the conservative masks breaking
away from the influence and control of ;
• politicians and fanaticism. At last the
people have awoke from their night-mare,- - 1
and aroused themselves, to a full apprecia
tion of our appalling distresses.• At last.;
they see that a departure from the Nation-'
it policy o(the Democracy and embracing
the.heresies of sectional parties, 'sectional
creeds and sectional candidates, hatsbroit
about the very state of things they were I
admonished it would several years ago.
The tramp of two millions of armed men ; I
the destruction of hundreds of thousands
of lives—our own brothers and country- I
men—the utter ruin of trade, commerce, I
finance,. National credit and National
character; the great. wail of • s ue 'from
the bleeding, hearts of fathersr mothers,
brothers, sisters and loved ones—these
have finally aroused the people to realize
where they are standing, and set them to
hooking about for a remedy.
As uslial, when the country is' on the ,
brink Of ruin, turns to the 'Democracy
for salvation and deliverance. The prodi
gal sou wasted his substance, ant then re,l
turned to the house: of his father. But,
poor bleeding country! thou. art indeed,l
tattered. and torn! thou art indeed • des- . I
piled of thy beautiful
. ..garments, and 1
thou-hast indeed wasted 'thy treasure!---1
• thou. hart been abiding in the tents el . '
- these enemies, arid feeding with the hat. :
lotssof abolitionism! We welcome thee
back' to the house of thy father. We will I
bind up thy wounds and bruises, but - thou 1
art sick at heart, and still thou mayst die! j
This unparalleled success means more'
than a mere party success. Republicans - ,
or those who have supported that ticket I
in the past, 'have swelled our ranks .by
thousands; but they were the conserva
tive, fair men of that party, Who have be
(tome utterly disgusted with the abolition
element that has finally succeeded in con- I
trolling it. They have found with the De- I
znocracy_kindred views and kindred oh- !
jests, and henceforward will. act with our
'party. The people, have determined .toi
put down this intense radicalism, judging
rightly by its fruits that it is subversive
of all good.government, as it has-beets de
structive to the best interests and bright
est. hopes of the country. In accordance •
with thisidea, we see 'Grow, the Speaker!
of the House and reptesentative of the!
. • administration, beaten by a majority little
short of 3,000 in Lnzerne county alone!
So• has gone Campbell, Bingham, and a
host of that extreme school, ' literally
crushed out by the overwhelming force of
this popular revolution. New York, New
' Jersey and ether Statesi will - Risen follOw in
the same wake, and then the demon of nls
. olitionism. will he disarmed, and the po
litical power of the country once more re-
• stored, to the liandA of National shun and
the guidance of x National policy.
The power nu w so fastsllpping from the
grasp of the dominant ,party, will not be
restored to it in the next, fifty years. The
wreck of the 'best government the world
ever saw--the countles . s dead upon the
bloodiest battle-fields ever fought, with ,
all the attendant ruin and horrors of the
most stupendous civil war ever known,
will all skind for future ages imperishable
inonumeXls to the madness and telly
the Republican party, and as startling ad-1
t monitions against again trusting it with
the,concerns of - a great and free govern-1,
. 6 e-
But arlia't are the lesioons intended by
this uprisht of the people? It might be
fairly claimed by the , government of /elf
1 Davis that these three great States have I
decided in favor of the rebellion, should'
we take the issue attemnted by the Re-1
publican party as thertrue'onv; for every
where - in the North; from press, 'pulpit
and pOliticians, the persistentdeclaration •
has been made that the Democracy were
"traitors," „ secessionists;" "frienda and
sympathizers with - the rebellion," its.—
,
-This haggone- forth from the Cabinet of
President, and been echoed in every
school district in the North,land still that
party his swept the land likes whirlwind.
We say then, and' we believe, - that if the
rebels should derive any "aid and com
fort"! from these elections—if .they have
been encouraged to hold out longer in
their_ rebellion, the whole account should
fall upon the . guilty heads of the leaders of
the Republican party, who have wicked
ly and knowingly falsified the sentiments
of the North,' as embodied in the Dernoc
' racy- of these States. , . . -
The result of these elections is net, nor
should it be considered a verdict of the
people_against the war for the purpose of
preserving the Union. TO this. no mattl
in the North will object—none that will
not pour out his treasure=and if, need he

undoubtedly be.felt to be, a 'most terrible ,
rebuke to the ruling spirits Washing-1

mand of this army. In parting from you,
I cannot. express, the love I bear for you.
As en army, you have grown up under my
care: In you I have never found doubt or
coldness. The battlds you have fought
under my command will proudly Jive in
our nation's history. The glory you ha've
achieved ; our mutual perils and fatigues;
the graves of our comrades fallen in battle
and by disease ; the broken forms of those
whom-wounds and sickness have disabled
—the strongest. association that can exist
among , men, unite us still by ari indissol
uble tie. We shall ever be comrades in
supporting the Constitution °font country
and the nationalty of its people.

His great desire accomplished, the heart ,
of the radical AbOlitionist lifts itself up 1
and rejoices. McClellan removed—the
inflexible patriot, who could not be en
trapped by Abolition wiles, or daunted by
Abolition threats, banished from the head
of the army of the Potoniric by an ungrate
fel and vacilliating President, Greeley, in,
the same malignant and treacherous spin.;
that denounced the flag'of the anion as t- 1
‘, flaunting lie," exclaims " Godl will save
us yet—McClellan, retires for the. present
from what is,by corertese,termed active
,ser
vice." - - 1
The bitterness of this sarcasm, can only I
fall properly in one place—on the head of 1
that treacherous administration that in the '
darkest hour of its existence, when there I
seemed no-escape from destruction, called
•on the man whom it had in vain' attempt
ed to_dishonor to save it, and who came
calmly forward, unaffected-by the wrongs
be had received, and did save it:
How was it with these now jubilant rad-
icala when the army of Pope, shattered,,
defeated,
defeated, demoralized and despairing, fell '
back upon Centreville and the lines of 1
Washington, and the capturfiof that city
-seemed inevitable ?—How wait it then,
in that dark hour, with the President and
the accursed crew of Abolition fiends who
surrounded him ?- Were_ thefjubilant
thou ? Was it to ;Wadsworth; so bold
of speech and blasphemous of expression,
that they turned fui encourageinent and
safety ? Was it to any- general in whose
political subserviency the President could
rely .that he turned his desponding face ?
No. In- that dread hour—in that hour of
peril to the nation, and impending destrec
tion'lto the administration, among all the
glittering throng of court favorites it sun
shine, warriors, there was net a man
whose voice was cheering or, Whose arm
was powerful to save. The whole Otter
ing train of palace menials trembled, and
tongues that were brave, in thel sunshine
of safety, to slander the worthy and patri
otic, were now paralyzed with fear, and
shrank into the recesses of their mouths,
mute and motionlek In the }Our ofago
ny, when craven cowardice and conscious
impotency overcame every consideration
but that of safety, there was but one man
who stood, like Saul among the prophets,
a head and shoulders taller than the
rest, towards whom all eyes turned, and
that man, thenoed trorn 1 his com
land, was George 8., McClellan. Him
the President besought, humbly, tearfully
besought, to-take that broken' end disor
ganized army and save 'the Capital and
the Nation. He was a soldier and patri
ot, and he obeyed. He took-that army,
bleeding, worn and shattered as it wad.
He was received by it with open arms and
shouts, that came not from treacherous
lips, but from the hearts of the brave sol
diers who uttered them. 1A glance of his
i eagle eye restored discipline, a word . from
him brings orderout of ehaos ; and, with=
out delay, at the head of that recently de
feated army, he left .--

who has twice saved *the capital, and
who is now the pride of the nation, the
idol of thebrmy, although an ungrateful
and weak:minded

' more deprived him of cominind. We
shall utter no prophecy; but Wisdorii is
the of experience, and we can
imagine the t ime, perhaps not very remote,
when - the brilliant anticipations of George
B. .McClellau's enemies all dashed, -thew
plans defeated, and danger ten fold great

would, but dare not for very shame, call
upon the man Whom they have , so foully
used, to rescue them yet once More from
the destruction which-their own wicked,
machinations have brought uPon
_them
and upon the - nation. Me- cots imagine,
such a time, and it requires ,no great
, stretch of imagination either, to foresee it.
It appears to us to be plainly chalked out
on the map. It seems impoasible that
any other result can foiv — froml' the folly
that lippearato discard the teichingi of
experience and seeks to reach I the haven
1 it aims at through unknoWn and hitherto
