The Election Yesterday.
It was something to have gained a victory
yesterday ; but few could have expected the
triumph we record this morning. It is com
plete, magnificent, and unprecedented. At the
early hour we write it is impossible to approxi
mate to the general result, but we think we
are safe in announcing that wo have elected
'THOMAS E. CoanuAn Auditor General, and
WM. S. Ross Surveyor General, by fifty thou
sand majority. This is the estimate sent to us
by cur Harrisburg correspondent at midnight,
and all our other information tends to confirm
it. In the city we have gained Mr. O'NEILL,
and lost Mr. WEBB in the First. Judge KEL
LEY retains his seat after a•hard` and bitter
fight, and Mr. THAYER will represent our
suburban district. Mr. CAMPBELL is defeated
in the Schuylkill distriet,.which is a matter
for sorrow ; but he has the consciousness of
having made a gallant and noble fight. THAD
DEUS STEVENS will Still remain in the House
in spite of JAMES BUCHANAN and his friends
in Lancaster. Mr. BAILY has defeated Mr.
GLossnasmina, and General ItiooanzAn has
triumphed in Allegheny. This will show
the general character of our victory, and the
thorough manner in which the loyal men have
done their work,
In the city we have re-elected our present
honored Chief Magistrate, ALEXANDER HENRY.
Mr. HENRY leads his ticket, and the large
vote he has received is a high compliment to
the manner in which he discharged his duties
during the trying • period of his past adminis
tration. The gentleme4 on the city and
county tickets have all been elected, and we
think we can claim a majority of the Council
men, the Legislative delegation, and the mi
nor cflices. The wards which have given the
largest number of soldiers to the war have
given the largest number of votes to the
Union ticket, and wherever the Douglas
element predominated, we find a great in
crease in the loyal vote. All this has been
done in spite of appeals to the. laborers
and workingmen assaults upon the Ad
ministration, and attempts to influence the
people by presenting the Administration as
imbecile and corrupt. Here we had the bit
ter fight to make—here the enemies of the
Administration were thoroughly organized,
commanded by their ablest men, and sus
tained by all the appliances of victory. The
prestige of military success had been invoked
to aid the cause of the enemy, and the name of
Doueras was prostituted by his lourlestfriends
to advance the cause of the Breckinridge or
ganization. The people spurned the unholy
union, and it was rebuked. These leaders
will learn that the business of driving a great
party into Secession will never do, and that
whatever other issues may be invented to dis
tract and demoralize the people, they are truly
and firmly with the Union and the Adminis
tration.
General McCall.
The people have decided that Gen:WC/LT.
should not represent them in. Congress. Why
should the - President not decide he should not
represent them in the field 1 The time has
come to dispose of doubtful men. _
Who Shall Have-Canada"
Not many weeks ago Lord PALMERSTON
publicly proclaimed that he, as the Prime Mi
nister of England, did not feel anxious for the
continuance of Canada as a British colony. He
was echoed by Lord Resent,. Both were dis
gUsted with the Canadian Parliament, because
it declined going to great expense to raise and
maintain a large militia force, under pretext of
defence against American invasion—a thing
which has not even been spoken of by Ameri
cans. At the close of last month, Mr. GALT,
formerly Prime Minister of; Canada; addressed
the Manchester Chamber of Commerce on the
relations between Canada and England, saying
that were Canada; turned adrift, she would re
tain a most bitter feeling towards Gioat Bri
tain, and immediately join the United Stales.
The answer made by Manchester, through.
Mr. ASHWORTH, a leading man, was, that the
quicker the Canadians took themselves off, the
better England would like it. Mr. GALT'S de
claration of Canadian feeling in favor of the
United States is important, considering ..the
political position he has held in Canada. It
confirms our conviction that, ere long, Canada
may voluntarily enter our Union, and thus
enable us to carry out the great principle—
America for the Americans. If slava-culti
vated cotton was found in Canada, Manchester
would not be quite„ so willing to allow the Ca
nadians to take theinselves off.
Principles of National Taxation
Ere long, no doubt, our whole system of
national taxation will be revised, improved,
and systemized. The great principle of fair
taxation is to come upon tax-payers in such a
manner as will produce most money with least
pressure upon the public. The pressure
ought to graduate, so as to fall heaviest upon
the rich. Our income-tax is copied from the
impost which has become so productive in
England, and is there c.omplained of as un
eqfial. The variable income derived from
professions and trade and personal exertion,
mental or bodily, should be taxed less heavily
than the income derived from real or personal
property, which is not variable, but perma
nent. In our next Tax-Act we hope to find
this distinction remembered. Another im.
provement, for which England has to thank
Paxn, is, to tax as few articles as possible. In
1842, upwards of, 1,200 articles were taxed
under the British Customs-duties ; now only
20 are so taxed. There then were 8 Excise.
duties, now reduced to 4. Yet these 24 com
modities yield an annual revenue of $210,000,-
000, leaving all . other commodities free.
In our new tax-bill, we understand, there
are imposts on 3,450 articles as against 24
articles of British taxation. Out of $342,-
500,000 of annual British revenue, upwards of
$210,000,000 are raised under the head of cus
toms and excise; and wine, spirits, malt liquor,
malt, hops, tobacco, and licenses produce
$135,000,000 of revenue., So the smokers
and drinkers of England, whose personal in
dulgence is taxed, pay the interest on her Na
tional Debt. On sugar, tea, coffee, and corn
taxes to the amount of $67,500,000 a year are
levied, and are mainly paid by the masses.
It is doubtful whether these imposts upon ne
cessary articl6 wi II not be eventually abolished.
What we mean to impress uponutir readers is
that by a good and simple system of taxation,
a very few articles can yield a large income,
collec.ted at far smaller cost, than the Tax: Act
-of 1862 seeks to obtain by imposts upon a very
large number and very great variety of ar
ticles. Bere, as abroad, the smokers and
drinkers should pay largely fir the luxury of
drink and tobacco. No doubt, the system will
be revised and simplified.
Substitutes for Cotton
The Manchester cotton lords have had a
sitting in their Chamber of Commerce, upon the
proposed substitutes fora cotton. The rhsult
realizes the old classical fable of the mountain in
labor. One substitute, discovered by a Lon
doner, named Harben, is the Zostera Marina,
or common sea-wrack, usually called Alva,and
sometimes used, in England, as a substitute
for hair and cocoa•fibre in stuffing mattresses.
It is claimed that the fibre of this weed may
be manipulated so as to take the place of cot
ton. As, in usual working • time, England con
sumes 1,700.000 bales of cotton annually, each
bale of 400 pounds, one may reasonably doubt
'the probability of getting an equivalent quan
ltity of sea-weed fibre as a substitute. A more
absurd proposition than this of employing the
poor Lancashire fo]ks in collecting grass
wrack, on the sea shore, to be used instead of
cotton, has rarely come under public obser
vation.
Re•election of] Senator. Foot, of. Ver-
MORt.
Morrnitum, October 19.--Solowan Foot, was re.
elected' United Instate Senator to. day, for six years, by a
unanimous vote in the Senate. There were only seven
votes ag inst him in the ROAM
Southern Opinion on the Proclamation.
A howl for mercy, and an agonized burst of
fear are the best answers one can have of a
man's cowardice when one challenges his
courage or tests his endurance. Such is the
response that greets the Proclaination of
Emancipation from the South. The tone is
uniform ; every paper yet received clasps its
editorial hands in supplication, or, with a
second glance at the unyielding document,
shakes its editorial fists in fear-born defiance.
That we are not overstating the fact will
appear by our extracts from the Southern
press, and still more from the circumstance of
such articles appearing at all. It is well
known that the newspapers of the South are
under the same despotic management that
forces the whole available population into the
ranks ; they are generally nothing more than
wily instruments in the hands of the rebel
Government to deceive its own people in
regard to its political intentions, and us in
regard to its military movements. Therefore,
the very fact that the editors have permitted
themselves to pen such sentiments, when an
expression of the very opposite was evidently
the right line of policy, is evidence of the
startled and vehement character of the emo
tion thus portrayed. The Richmond En
quirer is fiercest of all—fierce after the fear
fashion. It first asks painfully what would ba
the results of a slave insurrection, and con
jures up terrors as horrible as haunt JEFF
Deals' dreams—recapitulating and 'exaggera
ting some doings of NAT TURNER'S reb Alton,
lacerating its Inmost soul at thought of the
possible repetition of such performances,
shivering at the faintest chance of such a
contingency, and winding up the first part of
its article by branding the unfortunate Presi
dent of the American Republic as a gc fiend :"
4 (ll 7 hat shall we call him? Coward, assassin,
savage, the murderer of women and babes, and the
false destroyer of hie own deluded allies? Shall
we consider these as all embodied in the word
, fiend !' and shall we call him that? Lincoln, the
fiend ! Let history take hold of him, and let the
civilized world fling its scorpion lash upon him!
But now our Richmond editor, having some
what exhausted the first torrent of his wrath,
begins to bethink him that it will never do to
scatter among the people such tears as these
denunciatory sentiments imply , • he begins to
remember his relentless masters, and so starts
out tm a new paragraph with a coxcombical
pusillanimity of defiance, with a strut and
swagger, and forced bravado, that is about the
most amusing exhibition which even the
Southern press has yet made. Only listen :
"We have described Lincoln's intentions and
wishes toward us. We have shown what terrors
he would let loose if he could. He is as bad as if
his power oorresponded with his avowed design.
But, thank Heaven, we are not delivered over to
his will? We are abundantly able to maintain a
salutary domestic authority at the same time that
our armies meet Lincoln's in the field."
So far, so good, oh trembling brandisher
of big words ! Very good ! very exceedingly
good ! Continue, of course' Keep right on
in this parade of effrontery, and you may gull
again, for the thousandth time, your credulous
public !
But no ; how is this ? No continuation of
a swagger so plausibly adopted? A dead
halt? An abrupt brancbing-ofi, in the very
next sentence, and, without even the typo
graphical grace of a new paragraph, a sudden
divergence into a path so utterly absurd that
it will not deceive even those eyes that would
give all they look upon to be deceived ? Who
will believe it of you, honorable, sincere, and
veracious editor of the Richmond Enquirer,
that you forthwith begin to wring your hands
over the luckless fate of the negro—for whom
Tour whips have alway - s exercised such tender
care—and of yourself, as the humble means in
the hands of Providence for opening for the,
negro, a little sooner, the pathway to Heaven?
Here are the words that immediately adjoin
those last quoted :
(‘ Lincoln would simply drive our servants to
their destruction. Cheerful and happy now, he
plots their death. An insurrection is their swift
destruction."
A question occurs to us at this point which
may interest the writer of the above : If the
negro will so quickly be suppressed in case of
rebellion, why mourn so dolefully over the
possibility of his rising?'Here comes the
answer a-
" The country courts or military authorities must
establish suitable patrols for the, preservation of the
public peace. The men of a neighborhood, even if
there be but a few, and if they be infirm, must keep
firearms and form a neighborhood guard, if neoes
sary."
Now, how evident from all this is this one
fact, that the proclamation will extend among'
the slaves, and more rapidly than we imagine !
How fully is it hereby confessed as a most..
poWerful measure in our behalf! And how-
warmly and cordially should the whole coun
try rally to support the Administration that
has generously thrown itself upon it in giving
this death-blow to the rebellion !

FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
Further Particulars &bout Stuart's Bald.
HEADQUARTERS, PLEASANT `'ALLEY, Monday Even-
Oot. 13, 1862.—The news of the success of Stuart's
cavalry raid into Pentisylvanla, and in the rear of this
army, has occasioned no unnecessary excitement among
the troops•
When it is taken into consideration that the river is:
made fordable by the low stage of water at so many
points, and that the Army of the Potomac ban a line of
pickets' extending from Cumberland to Washington, a
distant* of one, hundred and fifty miles. it will' be seen
that it is an easy matter for a large rebel force of cavalry
to penetrate it.
The moment the fact of the rebels having crossed the
river at McCoy's Ferry became known, every exertion
was made to prevent their escape, which was deemed no.
pessary. Orders were sent to the different commanders
to move and occupy the positions assigned them.
Unfortunately, at this particular time, a majority of
the cavalry force was absent, on important duty, at too
great a distance to be of any use in following Stuart. On
an important occasion of this kind, infantry not being
able to make a lengthy march, are of no practical use,
except in guarding fords near at hind.,
When Stuart crossed at McCoy's ferry, he had fresh
horses, they, having been•sent to that point in advance.
His movements aftstr cooing _ the POPMILIC were 'rapid.
Be inkreliedlife force ninety- two miles in twenty four
bon' s. To accomplish this he had the fresh horses taken
from the citizens of Pennsylvania:
From the time Pleasouton, commanding a brigade of

Stuart, finding himielf unable to cross here, moved
three miles further' down the river, to White's . Ford,
where he made good his escape. Pleasanton, while pur
suing him, lost the me of his guns, the horses giving out.
`lt is believed that -the marches, both of the rebel
cavalry and. our own, were the moat extraordinary on
record.

THE CITY ELECTION.
SCENES AND INCIDENTS OF THE DAT
A HEAVY VOTE AND A QUIET TIME
Desperation and Tricks of the Breciunridgers
Electien day is over, and with it no little anxiety and
solicitude. The friends and the tmemlee of the Govern
ment have pasted ono of those important eras in their
liven which always bear their imprint for years. It was
granted on all hands that the election was one of the
most important ever held in Penneylvania—one in which
it was a high privilege to partlciDate, and to' whioh
anxious eyes were directed from all parts of the Union.
Philadelphia wee not alone interested in the result of
Yesterday's voting. Maine and Michigan, New York
and Ittiode Island, and all our Northern slater Stakerhad
as much at stake as we who shaped its 00111130.
-
Weyere coteclons that all eyes were upon us. and that
liberty, law, and Government were awaiting our decision.
Cur gallant armies' looked tons for sympathy, and called
upon each and every lover of his country at home to aid
the came in which they were engaged, by meeting the
foe at the ballot-box, as they have done and are doing on
the tented field. Could we turn a deaf ear to their appeal
Wein we less patriotic than they Less willing , to serve
our country in Its hour of, peril and gloom ? Could it be
said that Philadelphia would prove recreant to liar proud
and noble history ? Would the birth-Plane of Liberty
seed fertlitO the.aid that al struck a blow at Liberty,
now In the Mine' olther'lmanhood?- The eltfof Inde
pendence could not thus defy her past blistery and act so
that the enemies of the Republic could take comfort and
be rejoiced, The nation is on its trial, and was it to be
said that her chief city should desert her? The
traitorous hand of the conspirator was at her throat,
and were Vile, -to unloose the grasp, or to
alit - ln the `unholy work of hastening her destruction?
"Yesterday, 4therefore,,,was . no ordinary occasion, and no
ordinary election: day. The community evidently re
garded it the light of an important era in Pennsylva-
Ma's history._ The feeling in regard, -
to the.uandidates
for purely municipal offices &manualalmost to indiffe
rence on the part of the National Union men, though the
vote was not far behind the Congressional tickets. The
Breckinridgers left no stone unturned to carry the dayin
their favor. They manifested no sort of indifference with
respect to the nominees on any of the tickets. Their
whole strength was brought out, and very little scratch
ing of Weir tickets was done in any Instance. The appli
cants for positions on the police force were as hard
working and as vigilant as they were wiry and numerous.
Four years without the police assistance was generally
believed by'the Breckinridgers t i c be a: sufficient atone
ment for their Doliticarsins, and they had determined
that this time they would make one overwhelming effort.
They were at the polls early and often. They dragged out
their neighbors and imp utuned them in the most pitiable
style to vote the whole ticket. The desperation shown
yesterday by the unscrupulous politicians of the Break
inridge school, was even remarkahle for them, and they
overdonel theme dye's. The moat infamous falsehoods
were promulgated They appealed to the passions and
prejudiees of .the unthinking, they bullied, threatened,
and announced: At thej Bieckinridge headquarters,
Fifth and Walnut streets, a lovely set of politicians were
in session all day
,Thos. B. Florence, F. W. Hughes,
Wm. L. Hirst, Wm. H. Welsh, !Samuel J. Randall, and
others of tha ,` stripe, were closeted together, discussing
the conduct t Governor Carton, in refusing to call out
the ',militia, as the Breckinridgers had hoped he
would do • the downfall of our glorious Union,
and the' : - everlaating disgrace of the nation, Occa
srionally, an anxious confrere would come in to M
enke 4 t how things looked." ~
4 ; Tell the white people,"
they said, "-that the nigger will be defeated to day,
provided we do our duty." Baring Monday night,
these same reckless demagogues had posted conspicuous
ly- about the city the most infamous falsehoods that only
could be suggested by men who had reaohed the last
stage of political depravity. For instance, they had a
bill poster. with a picture representing the building of a
mansion. The edifice is nearly complete; white laborers
are engaged in kneading the mortar and carrying the
bricks. Negro laborers are performing the work of lay.
ing the bricks—evidently the most respectable" part of
the work. The design of the whole thing was an appeal
to the prejudices of the workingmen, who were called
upon to defeat . the Abolitionists, for
_their bread and
butter was at stake.
The following circular, freely circulated about the city,
wee on a parmith the foregoing:
TO OUR WHITE BRETHREN
At e meeting of the Philadelphia Colored Literary In
stitute, held In their hall, in Lombard street, above
Seventh, it was nnanimonely agreed that, in view of the
importance of the present political canvass, as concern.
ing the inalienable rights of the colored community, that
the undersigned committee be instructed to address the
adhererte of the party advocating nose rights, and to
urge upon that party the necessity of earnest and vigor.
one action at the coming election. Feeling that the day
is not far distant when no man shall be proscribed, or
denied the rights of citizenship, on account of his color,
and believing that the people are rapid.y awaking to the
realization of the fact that a native. born colored man is
better untitled to enjoy such rights than a white foreign
er, we would earnestly implore every friend of the African
race to array himself against the Democratic party at
the polls, upon 'Tummy rext, so that the victory of our
amaigsmation brethren may toil to the people of this
land that the hell born institution of slavery is doomed,
and the day about dawning when men of all colors shall
enjoy equal rights under the renovated and redeemed
Government ot anew Republic.

These were not the only desperate tricks of the Brock
inridgers to carry this eleotion.
During the past two wetke, a large number of foreign
ers appeared in the courts, and Herald their tt papere,' ,
and thus became entitled to vote. The United Slates
marshal, together with the commissioners for the draft,
decided to add the names to the enrollment of those sub
ject to draft. For this purpose, the deputies in the dif
ferent precincts who had boen engages in taking the
names of the citizens, and are therefore familiar with the
people in their localities, were Instructe4 to attend at the
polls, and'add to the list of those liable to We draft all
persons naturalized since the enrollment.
The manhole were on hand, and attended faithfully to
thie duty, and thus aided in the defeat of one trick, at
least, of the men who had determined from the beginning
that the conteet should be carried on without regard to
principles or fairness.
No disturbance of any kind occurred, so far as we
learned, In any portion of the city. The exoellent pollee
arrangements of Chief Huggle. and Mayor Henry, pre
vented any boisterous or riotous demonstrations about
the polls. What little 'excitement prevailed was in the
evening, when, of course, considerable feeling was mans
fested as to the results.. Chestnut street do wn'from Fifth
to Third, was thronged up to an early hour this morn
ing, the newspaper offices were seized upon by crowds,
and the Central police station was blocked by an:anxious,
though orderly concourse. As the returns were re
ceived, showing the gratifying majorities in favor of the
National 'Union ticket. the hearts of the sympathizers
fell, and they refused to be comforted. Lovers of their
country were jubilant, and renewed contidence was
everywhere expressed, that now the bands of the Na
tional Administration Were strengthened, the cause of
treason weakened, and our patrlotiC PnOiclent and gal

SERENADE TO HON. CHAS. O'NEILL
About eleven o'clock, a full brass band started' from
the. National Union headquarters for the purpose of
,erenading the different enceessfid candidates—that is to
say, pretty much the entire hcket. They Brat repaired to
the redden ce of Charles O'Neill; Eau., at Penn Square.
In response to loud and persistent cabs, ?Ir. O'Neill
made his appearance on the balcony, and briefly re
sponded.
In opening, Mr. O'Neill thanked his‘vieitors for this
demonstration of their good-will and per - axial esteem; it
bad a higher significance, be waggled to see, than a per
aonal demonstration. It filled him with joy that the
people had thus spoken. It shows that they bad awaken
from their lethargy, and were determined that there
Should be no further trifling when the life of the nation
was at state. The day had come for bold and decided
steps—a day when every man must show his colors,
either as a friend or an enemy of the Government. Ile

he acted was friendly to the Government, and that he

Administration be-crippled or embarrassed. tApplaused
He again thanked his friends for their confidence, and
then retired.
The batd, with lb numerous crowd, then proceeded
down Chestnut street, stopping in front of the Mayor's
office, where patriotic airs were played, amid much en
thusiasm.
SIMENADE TO "TUB TRIOS."
They then proceeded down to Fourth, and down Fourth
to The Press office. Here they halted, and struck up the
" Star Spangled Banner," and 'other airs, gbich were
sung in chorus. Loud calls were mode for Colonel
Forney, and in response that gentleman appeared in front
of the building, and spoke as follows :
SPEECH OF COL. FORNEY.
Mr COUNTRY.HEN: This is an answer to the rebel raid
into Pennsylvania a few days ago. The traitors In arms
against the country have been answered by the people
of Penney Jeanie. We have rebuked the unarmed aym
pathizere fn our midst. [Applause.] The hundreds and
thousands of our tor al men having gone of• to fight
the battles of the Union and the Constitution,
the enemy in our midst, as well as the ene
my over our border, were induced to hope that we,
who bad been left behind, would be traitors to our
selves and false to our country at the ballot-box.
Mond cheers.] You have answered the question to
day. Yon Have answered it eVenclidly, and the result
will do more to terminate this war honorably than ten
victories on the battle-field. [Applause, and three
cheers for Col. Forney.] You wit( not only invigorate
the President of the United States in the exercise of his
high duty, but you will tell him that all he may Co, how
ever strong, however stringent, however decided against
the rebellion, will meet your approbation.
You tell him, by this magnificent verdict to-day, that
he is called upon to resort to still stronger measures.
[lmmense cheering ] You tell him that ids emancipa•
lion proclamation Is right. [Long.oontintied cheers for
the President and the proclamation.) Yott tell him that
his proclamation against the sympathizers in our midst
is also right. [More applause You tell him that the
forfeiture of rebel property however it may be desig
nated, whether it be their houses, or their farms, or that
which Ibey hold without any right except an assumed
prescriptive right—l mean the institotion of slavery—
that all shall be forfeited.
And if I may use a still aim/Igor phrase—and I refer
to one whom we bold in our hearte as dear to all, Gen
George B. McClellan, [great cheerinst]—your verdict
to day is, if possible an instruction to him—an instruc=
tion and an endorsement—an endorsement of hie en
dorsement of the President's proclamation, an instruc
tion that he can do no act that will do more to endear
him to those who are already so deeply attached to him,
than by pressing upon the rebel enemy before hint, [An,-
plenum ]
You are on the way to see others. I had hoped to
bear our re• elected Chief Magistrate of the city, Alex
ander Bent), reply to you. [Applause and cheers for
Mayor Henry.] But, before you move on, let me, an old
Democrat, [a voice- 4 .a loyal one, too,"] one who has
served in the ranks of the Democratic party, but who
left that organization when it became prostituted to the
Breckinridgora—let me say to you we must not forget
that while our gallant men have been away, tench of this
grandest political victory Uwe over MOieed over is to
be attributed to the gallant Democrats who have torn
themselves loose from the Democratic organization, [ap
plause,) who are with us now, and who will be with us
bereatter. If we are true to ourselves and true to our'
country, they will be with us many long years to come.
I have but a single final request to make, and that is,
that the band play our grand national hymn, " John
Biown," „ whose soul Is marching on."
The band then struck up the stirring air, and, amidst
the deafening shouts of tbe multitude, the crowd slowly
moved on.
SERSNADR TO TAR NORTH AXERIOAN
The procession, upon /olivine The Press office,
marched slowly down Fourth to Walnut, and down Wal
nut, the bard playing, in accordance with the request of
Colonel Forney, the hymn commencing ‘, John B row 4),
body lies momdcriag in the grave." The crowd at the.
end of each verse would join in the chorus, and the
sound of the music discoursed by the band, together
with that of the many voices, was grand. The procee
taw:Li:nought np in front of the Norilz, Antiricon offoe,
and lottd,cries were made for Diorton McMtchaeL This
gentleman soon made his appearance on the front steps,
end - was greeted with loud and vociferous cheering. He
congratulated them on the grand Won victory which
had been achieved, se ft wee ono of the greatest rebuke,
to treason and traltore ever known. He was glad to
Jean that the Hughes conspirators were beaten so badly
that they would never hold up their heads. [Veen the
mention of the name of Hughes three greens were event
sod evoke out, tHang him l"] The speaker contanned :
Oh, never mind that he has already hung himself.
[Laughter.] We have beaten the enemy at home with bat
lota, more eeverly than we oan do with our ballets. The
victory its a complete one, and will comes every true and
loyal man to rejoice. The Goverrunent is to be sustained
and the war to be prosecuted with snore vigor than ever.
Mr. McMichael, in concluding his remarks, proposed
three cheers for the various candidates,. which were
given with a will. The procession then moved up Third
to Chestnut, and proceeded out Chestnut street; the
band still playing "John Brov n'e body lies mouldering
In the grave." J3y one o'clock, Chest - act street pre
sented its usual quiet appearance, all ha - ritu returned
in an orderly manner to their homes.
OTITEM SPIRENADES.
Later in the evening, a serenading band prcceeded to
the °lmo of the Receiver of Taxes, Sixth and Chestnut
streets, and there serenaded Mayor Homy, cvho was at
that place engaged in receiving and storing sere) , away
the ballot boxes. After repeated calls, the Mayor made
He appearance , ' and addressed the crowd.
Tho. non. William D. &alley was also serenaded, at

SOENN9 iTitgi 1440KINRIDGE HEADQUARTERS.
When the aubjeCt of visiting the Bteokinridge head
quarters last evening, where the returns were to be re
ctiv:d. was first breaded to us, warather demurred ; for
to be candid with the public we have a keen solicitude
for our personal reputation, leaving the matter of our
corporeal safety entirely aside.. Butla emcee of our official
duly prevailed r Ter all personal• considerations, and we
determined to obey instruction'', let thee cost be what it
might „in time, treasure, and blood " Said a friend,
ti Be sure and arm yourself with a '-billy' do!" So we
armed ourselves with a billet dome in the shape of a note
book, and meditatively left our sanctum. We didn't ex
actly know where the Breckioridge headquarters were;
thought of coarse they must be up. some dark, unfre
quented alley, away from the haunts of civilization, or fn
some 4 . poisonous den where traitors hide" Bat, fortu
nately, as we turned down Walnut street from Fifth a
composite smell of whisky, onions, and bad tobacco led
us sizerring , y to thefeative scene, A festive scene, indeed;!
We would not willing have missed it for fifty dollari, paid
in shining gold—and gold is thirty per cent., or there
abouts. Hogarth, himself; If he could. have risen from
his grave, would have been on hand to sketch this pic
ture, ana add the crowning laurel to hiaimmortality.
The room was filled with tobacco and Dreckinridgers—
the latter somewhat in the majority. If we had had eel ,
doubt that we were in the right room, it must have bean
dispelled upon our entrance. There were no Washing
ten bends, no Webster countenances, no Henry Clay
Doses, discernible in the assemblage; and, although per
haps the assertion may be too sweeping, that a man's
political faith depends upon-the fit cut of his jib," yet the
investigations of Gall and Spurzheim base settled that,
almost infallibly, the nose °fa demagogue is characteris
tic of hie aspirations; and it is a phrenological fact that
moat Breckinridgers are enliveners. In the interval w
were compelled to wait, we were regaled with circumstan
tial accounts of a recent dog-fight, in the southern sec
tion of the city ; arid learned, with uomingled feeling' of
satisfaction, that "Drente Mc Fadden's black pup was
the beat man in the pit!" Several of the eympathivirs
were acting in an unaccountable manner—holding ve
hement soliloquies, felling loosely on chairs, and flat
tening their neighbors' bats- down on their noses. One
of :hem protected fitly tunes to the dour-knob that he
was for the Maio°, he was, and was bound to have his
rights in the Territories; that was him, you know !
This eympatbizer permeated the apartment all the eve
ning. He was perpetually tumbling on ,he door, and
floundering among other sympathizers' heels. He was
knocked down, shoved abort; and buffeted like tho
merest nobody. Be was taken away by oonstdera.e
cronies, who in their solicitude for his wife and orphan
children," subjected themselves to. the charge of being
internal Abolitionists. Be came back again with a
Cfmmerian eye, and was an Inteneer Elision man than
over. Hie breath smelt strongly of his ardent urincf-
Db Impressed with admiration of his unailivering de
w:llion to hie country, which was even then in the throes
of an election, we feel the tt Mho( Homer's sentiment:
it How passing saccharine it is
To 3 bad one's life up for one's country!'
This aymnathizer hovered through the ball till mid
night, ae Withrow:he ae a butterfly, and after having
everything but manslaughter done to him, went home to
his downy couch.
"Beloved sergeants, all !" cried a dumpy sympathizer,
with a fat, shiny face, wLo assumed a military strut, as
If a personage of touch importance, "-I've got five (Li
fers to bate egin a red nerrin', Dan Fox wine the day ;
and there went a man dar' take me up but I'll knock his
ugly mug into smithereens or mo name aint Dickey !"
Nobody Inking kir Hickey's bet, this tncident.was taken
as conclusive evidence of Sir. Fox's election, by lea 7/li
serables, and a feeling of nuiveresl confidence prevailed.
Several antiquated jokes were retailed by a garrulous al
derman of impressive corpulence, and gave rise to most
uproarious peals of laughter, during which an asthmatic
gentleman wee only saved from suffocation by patting on
the back, a aoothiog process-by which the sympathizers
believe that even the rebels can be conciliated.
But, the right w.re away, the crowd was thinning
out, and still the returns came not, Quite a number of
suggestions y. ere generously offered to account for the
delay; end as they were all uttered at once, an ani
mated Babel was the consequence. A hundred an'

" Where's ibis per acrouging ?" "Who throwed that
snuff in my eyes " sure a man mast stick to the
Constitution." " Who's this is on me corns?" "Take
that!" " It's d—n niggera 'll live on the fat of the
land !" A prolonged hoot of mingled rage and anguish
followed this unfeeling observation, and an ominous
silence fell upon the assembly.
"I do wonder what keeps the Fourth ward back'!"
ventured a netvens sympathizer, wiping his spectacles on
his coat sleeve.
"Never fret," was the laconic rejoinder of a man and
a father—at least he said be was a man and a father—
"the Fourth ward phelsox understands their business,
and will roll up something han'eome."
Un•donbtedly," admided tho first speaker, from'''.
lonely ; '• but couldn't it be rolled up at nine o'clock as
Well as ten ?" Then, fearing he had said too much, he
added, pleadingly, "a man must get to bed, you know."
An individual with a keen eyo and a scar on his oheek,
resembling the bottom end of a porter bottle, here es.
plaintd, for every one's edification, that the Fourth ward
crowd was also held in reserve until the other wards had
reported, so that its strength could be increased as the
occasion demat ded.
In desultory converealion, the watchers held their
vigil until midnight. Notbiag had been beard of Sba re
