The Ctose, of the Campaign.
From April 11,: 1861, when the flag of,
the United States was fired upon at Sump
ter, we have taken but one course - . The
Republic must be maintained ; no Wm ,
promise must be offered to traitors; not one
inch of ground, not one iota_of principle,.
must be surrendered to, the rebellion; This .
was and is the policy of the Administra
tion; and not until VALLANOIGIIKIst moved
to make the nomination. of McCLELLAN
unaninious, . and placed him upon a cow
ardly 'platform with PHNDLirroN his
colleague, was any, formal .attempt made to
change 'it. Then the nation was asked to
revolutionize its creed, admit the war to
be a failure and an armistice necessary.
Then we redoubled our efforts to help
loyal men to keep the nation true to itself
and make plain to every Mind -the ruin
that must' result if the principles of the
Chicago Convention were made -the basis
of our Government. For three years
.
this journal. has sustained' the men and
measures of the Baltimore Convention, and
we may claim that our course_ 'during the
whole war has been a resolute advocacy of
the only principles by which the
.Union
can be saved, and which the people will
endorse to-morrow byre-electing ABBATE/at
LINCOLN the President of the - United States.,
In the campaign proper, we have - done
everything to put the matter plainly before
the people. • " The old Greek, suddenlyr
enveloped in a cloud while battling with.
his
his enemies, exclainied Give me to see.' "
We have given the public a11.w9 could that
might explain principles, declare facts; and
reveal Men as they are. EverY "speech,
every letter, every fact of any kind, rale
ting to the great issue, has been published
in our, columns. Our argument has been
established wholly upon facts, and we have
depended more upon the • truth we have,
presented than upon the use we have made '
.
of it. If any reader of THE PRESS remains
unconvinced that it is hisduty to do all in •
his power to re-elect 'ABRAHA. - if LINCOLN,
it is not for the want of evidence and
monstration.
Now, when the great canvass is about to
close, we can do little more. ' We leave the
issue in the hands of our countrymen. By
their decision the highest and the lowest in
the land must peaceably abide, and if it were
possible that to-morrow the eeatest evil
that could now befal America should be
consummated by Americans—if Meer:m.-
I,ex . and PENDLETON should be elected,
and the platform of *VALLANDIGE[AkShOUId
be made the creed of the Republic—we
should bow to the will of the people. Nor
should we relax our efforts to preserve the
country'; on the contrary, the very great
ness of the danger should forbid any true
patriot to despair. But this will not be.
Our conviction in the righteousness of our
cause is not stronger than our faith in its
triumph. We believe that ABRAHAM lAN
coi,x-will be re-elected, that the days of the
rebellion are numbered, and that long be
fore the end of the next Presidential term
the world will see America at peace, and
the Union stronger, greater, and more pros
perous for the terrible danger it has sur
vived.
TEE great Union meeting in Indepen
dence Square, on Saturday night, nobly
closed the popular canvass'for the Union. -
It was one more proof of the earnestness
of Philadelphia, and a promise of an in
creased majority . on Tuesday.
TO-DAY ENDS THE CANVASS. Let it be
earnestly, energetically, and successfully
used. Every Union man should make
sure that the . full Union voteof his precinct
- will be brought out. Put your whole soul
into the work.
IN EVERY WARD are some men who will
not vote unless they are urged—very old
men, who need attention
. and assistance to
the polls ; sick men, who must,be taken
there in carriages ; indifferent men, who
want the wickedness of apathy placed
clearly before their minds. Every Union
man who knows of one vote': in any of these
classes, will not do his whole duty unless
he sees that the doubtful vote is secured.
WORK FOR A UNION MAJORITY in your
precinct r and you work for one in your
ward. Work for your ward, and yon work
for your county. Work for your county,
and you work for your. State. And•. the
good you do for your State is done for the
whole Republic.
EVERY STATE that has voted this .year •
has given a Union majority. Here are.
eleven States which have repeated in 1864 .
the emphatic proclamation which-twenty_
made in 1863.
WE 'shall not be aurpriaed if every electo
ral vote of the twenty.five loyal• Mates is
given to Lnworar and JOHNSON, To insure
it, let the grand Union majority that con=
trols the whole North reveal its strength.

Lincoln's Jokes.
With entire truthfulness is it affirmed
that in some men's madness there is.method.
The same may be said of their sallies of
wit and humor. In their very foolishness
discriminating minds discern a wisdom. not
discovered in the observations of the-pro
fessedly - wise. One of this class of men is
AnnAnAzi larivorai.
.He is a splendid spe
cimen of our own unique yet noble West
ent character. In him-there is, no conceal
ment, no affectation, nothing conventional
or assumed. He is a child of nature, not
of art. Others may dissirrtulate, he never
does. His methods of expression, it is
true, are peculiar—often altogether out of
the beaten track. To superficial minds they
may at times seem objectionable but never
to the discriminating and reflecting. His
"jokes," as they are termed, all serve to
" point a moral or adorn a tale." Sonie of
them, we need not say, possess ekceeding
force and appositeness. They resemble
the fabled stories of LEsop, the sarcasms of
Horace, the sterner invectives of 'Juvenal.
The same methods of expression are'found
in not a few of the writings of the sacred
penmen.' They did not study elegance Of
utterance so much as force. Many of their
wisest sayings, to fastidious minds, might
seem inelegant and abrupt, but they are all
the snore• striking and-impressive.
With all his "joking," therefore, there
lives not in these United States a more
serious man than ABRAHAM liarcoLw. - He
is always terribly in earnest ; never more
so than when he has to deal with the ene
rides of his country—the traitor btinds that
would fain drag her glory in. the dust Of
this the world has had the amplest proof,
and shall, doubtless, have still more in the
future.
An Armistice.
The last great hope of the South is that
IidcOLELLAN may be elected, because the
rebels are certain that, once in office, he .
would hasten to grant, it may be to solicit,
an armistice. Their press expressly de
clares that JEFFERSON DAVIS is in favor of
an armistice, and sets forth the advantages
which must accrue to the Eouth from it—
first, tha it would raise the blockade by
sea and land ; secondly, that it would per
mit the reception of vast quantities of sup
plies ; thirdly, that it would induce de
serters to return, without fear of punish
ment, and thus add 200,000 veterans to the
attenuated ranks of the rebel army; and,
these ends accomplished, the recruited
South might break the truce and renew
hostilities. These are the probable results
of the armistice which G. B. illoGlEraarT
is expected to give or solicit, if ever, un
happily for the country, he should become
President -All who vote for MCCLELLAN
ShOUld know that they vote to nullify all
that <our brave soldiers and sailors have
done since the bombardment of Fort Sump
ter, and strengthen the rebel force. Ar
mistice means a dishonorable peace and
treacherous surrender.
" A VOTE for the Union," says General
BUTLER, "is equal to a recruit in the
army." Who can doubt this, after the
political lesson of the past two months,
gathered from the speeches of JEFFERSON
DAVIS and the editorials of the rebel
papers Y. The overwhelming triumph of
ABRAIIAIif LINCOLN in the coming election
will prove the virtual crushing out of the,
rebellion. The unity of the intelligent
masses of the people directed to this one
purpose, will prove more potent than a
forest of bayonets.
THE opinions of Senator DOUGLAS upon
the great question at issue before the peo
ple are, well known. They are the words
of a departed leader and prophet, and ap
peal warningly to the masses of the Demo
cracy: He said that the Southern rebellion
was the fruit of thirty years' conspiracy
against the Union ; that in this war there
could, be only two parties—patriots and
traitors ; that slavery deserved to die the
death-; and that the Union , should. be re
stored in all its territorial integrity, based
on the unconditional submission of the re
bellion. •
" THE people of the North were badgered
and bullied into this war," says General
SHERAUST. "We would rather cohabit
with thieves arid hyenas," says DAvls;
Totimus, said the tyrants of the Confede
racy. " The North must yield everything,'
the South nothing," declare the organs of
rebel sentiment. Underneath these cruel
voices, the Unionists of the South, writhing
under the iron heel of rebel despotism, ap
peal to us to save them. What should the
loyal men of the N;:qth do ? - •
Tau Union party does not appeal to
. the avarice and fears of the people, but
it conjures them by the high • and holy
future of the redeemed- and free RepUblic
to be brave and true for> the eake of their
own homes, and for theii Children's chil
dren. Rebels even dare to menace and
overawe our elections. Under the shadow
'of. this Infamy,
.let the lorthern man de
cide if he be willing to grant JEFFERSON
DAVIS and his Janissary robbers and -as
sassins their.oWn terms ?
IT is not enough to cast your own votes.
You must see that your friends are early ut
the polls. " • •
HON.•. CHARLES SUMNER made a noble
appeal•to t 4, people of New York, at the
grand Union meeting, Saturday night. At
the close of it - he said :
"If there was on this continent any naturalldi
viding line in itself at once a barrier and an altar,
any Immense Chinese wall bulltfor a century and ex
tending for fifteen hundred miles across the .conti,
nent, then I know not but there might be a division of
the countries. But, nature, by irreversible laws; has
fixed it otherivise. Nature and history, by laws which
man will be Impotent to reverse, have solemnly ad
judged that this continent, from the lakes to the
Gulf,.of Mexico, shall be dedicated 'to one country,•
with one liberty, one constitution, and one destiny.
[Applause.] This coming election is the battlefield
of the war and victory; there will be victory every
where. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, and Farragut,
each and all, are watching for it, their trumpets
and cannon ready to echo back our victory at the •-•
polls on Tuesday next. [Great applause.] There
have been great battles In history, on the result of
which have depended• human rights and human
liberty. Marathon, where the Persian hosts were
.. driven back from Greece, and Asiatic barbarism
Was brought to a stand; Tours, wherethe Moors
_were driven from Christian Europe by Charles
jortel; . Lepanto, when* the Turks were arrested in
theft victorious progress ; and there, too, was Wa
terloo.. But our cause is grander far than any of
these: ;We save the life of our Repiblia, assailed by
belligerent slavery; Istrt such is the solidarity of na
tions, mankind is so knit together, that in saving the
life of our Republic we save the liberty of all man
kind., The voice of victory here will resound
throughout the universe. Never was there a grander

['No, no.'] _But all this depends on your votes ;

letters to the DailY News, one of the few
English journals •in favor of our Union,
which are exceedingly different, in tone
and terms, from the "special' correspon
dence of Dr. MACKAY in the Times, and
Mr. G. A. SALA in the Daily Telegraph.
He says that, after.visiting the Northern
and Western States, no one can doubt
that the war is national, and not merely
carried on by the Government alone--that
he'saW evidence of, this every where—that
feelings of atrocity are held towards the
South,- .but _a strong determination to make
it submit to the law, and that the kind
treatment of the Confederate prisoners is a
proof of - the humanity with which the
UniOnists carry on the war. Ue concludes
thus: " I have been in the States only a
month, and perhaps I.am not an unbiassed
observer ; but my strong conviction is, that
beneath the frothy surface of part3r polities
(never very august in any country), and
the shoddy luxury of New York, lies a
great nation, meeting the extremity of
peril with courage, self : devotion, passionate
attachment to its country, and unshaken
confidence in its own power."
The Festival in Heuer of illiam Callen
Bryant.
CELEBRATION' BY THE CENTURY CLUB - OF NEW
The heralded celebration of the Seventieth Birth- -
day of the poet Bryant took place at the Century
Club, in NeW York, on Saturday evening last, the
sth of November—one latter day of that beautiful
decline in nature which Bryant's autumnal, ma
jestic, muse - has described with grave pathos.
But Bryant himself has not declined; with an
old head,--he walks with a youthful step; his
muse is'quiet, as has lieen her wont, bat is still
livlng.in We cheerful cloister - of a heart undesayed;
the sanctum of the journalist still feels his improv
log presence`; the political mind of the country
has not lost his inspiration, and the life of Ameri
can poetry still exhales that grave breath Which the
reverend thought of Bryant first drew from the
.„
WltY.Vrtlegi of anew and virgin Nature. This vene
rable man hasreached the winter of life, but there is
no blight in his firm and noble countenance and his
bright and kindly eye; and the poet may still sing
from amid his white-haired and bearded snows that
song of winter content and live-long vigor which
makes younger men younger to hear. At seventy
years of well-spent life, he enjoys a tribute of afros
tionate respect rare in the _biographies of literary
men. Prophets have not usually , been honored in
their own countries, or poets in their lives ; but Mr.
Bryant, whose muse is at once prophetic, and poetic,
is a singalar exception to the rule. Cooper, Pauld
ing; and other cotemporaries of this veteran writer,
hive passed away with that green festival day miss
ing in their lives which has been filled up In Bryant's. ,
We can barely exoept Washington Irving, so gene
rally beloved -by his fellow-scholars, but all that
was the fortune of Washington Irving's serene elder_
life,
"And that.which should accompapy old ago,

is 'now the property of Bryant. Years after
Brainerd and -Pereival, young and kindred
singers with Bryant ; "Leggett, his comrade in
journalism and, song, and others of his• former
cotemporaries in literature have gone to their
graves, and the line of our earlier litera
ture has been traced on the green turf; while Dana,
Vvho wrote "The Buccaneer," writes no more; while
the harp that rang to Marco Bozzaris" is silent
and idle, and Willis is no more a poet of the hour;
while Plerpont's vigorous and venerable mind,
thOugh alive to Freedom, is almost 'lost to Song=
Bryant survives, a, true citizen of the hour, as vs ell
as a hero of the past, fit to honor when we celebrate
American literature and American freedopa; it
was the journalist as well as the poet, and,more
than all, the man and the eXample, that were so
affectionatelycelebrated on Bryant's birthday.
The festival to the pioneer and father, poet ; of
America was conceived and prepared by the Con-
Wry Club of New York—an association which in
eludes most- all of the prominent artists, poets,
litterateurB, and connoisseurs of - New York. Astor,
the millionaire ;:Adam Badeau, the critic; Edwin
Booth, the tragedian ,• Bierstadt and Church, the
painters of the Rocky Mountains and the Andes ;
Henry Kirk Brown and Launt Thompson, the
Sculptors; Frederick Cozzens, the humorist, - and
George 'Wm. Curtis, of "Potiphar " and " How
adji" memory; Christopher °ranch, familiar in art,
poetry, and music ; Regis Gignottx, the bold and able
painter of many fine landscapes; Felix 0. C. Dariey,
a creator in, art whore sketches are known the
world over ; Kensett, Croprey, and Gifford, favorite
names in the art of New York; Louts° and Lang,
the historical painters ; Durand and Huntingdon,
presidents of the Art Academy; the Fields—Cyrus,
David,. and Dudley—all prominent men ; Hazel
tine, Gray, and Hicks, the artists.; John Jay and
Pierre Irving, both very recognizable names;
McEntee, one of the most descripiive and
poetical of the New York painters; Francis
Lieber, Curtis Noyes, Charles O'Connor, and Sa
muel Osgood, Well known as publicists, lawyers, or
Utast' ; Gulian C. Verplanck, the Shaksperean
seholar r andliteTresident of the " Century;" Hop
pin, the illustrator, and Richard Stern Willis, the
musical brother of the poet-these are a few of the
large membership of the Century Club. Certainly,
there was nothing wanting in the composition of the
Feast to make it worthy in respect of variety and
eignificance of one so widely a representative.or
patron of literature, art, and politics, as the poet
journalist, Bryant. -
The rooms of the Century afforded a rich hospi
tality to the hundreds who did honor to Bryant on
Saturday evening. The itrtist-hands of LOUIE; Lang,
Gifford,"and Hoppin had been at worlcin the recep
tion-room, and the panelled and frescoed walls,
wreathed, flowered and curtained, offered a feast of
color. Bryant's name was lettered in a harp of im
mortelles; the bust of the poet was crowned with
laurel; and the following welFselebted verses from
his poems, exquisitely wreathed with green and flow
ers, were written in letters of gold upon the walls:
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again—
The eternal years of God are hers;
But Error, wounded, Writhes in pain,
And dies amid her worshippers.
His love of truth, too warm, too strong
For Hope or Fear to chain or chill,
His hate of Tyranny and wrong,
Burn in the breasts he kindled, still.
Let the mimic canvas show •
His calm, benevolent features ; let the light
Stream o'er his deeds of love, thatskunned the sight
Of. all but Heaven ; and in the book of fame
The gloilous record of his virtues write, .
• • And hold It up to men, and bid them claim
A palm like his, and catch from him the hallowed
flame.
Wisely my son, while yet thy days are long,
And this fair change of seasons passes slow,
Gather and treasure up the good they yield—
All that they teach of virtue, of pure thought,
And kind affections, reverence for thy God,.
And for thy brethren.
For-thou hut taught us with delighted eye
To gaze upon the mountains—to behold
With deep affection the pure, ample sky,
And clouds along its blue abysses roiled—
To love the song o 6 waters, and to hear
The melody of winds with charmdd ear.
In such a bright, late quiet would that I
Might wear out life like thee, 'mid bowers and
brooks, • -
And dearer yet, the sunshine of kind looks, •
And music of kind voices ever nigh.
Still came and lingered on thy eight
Of Rowers and atreams•the bloom and light
And -glory of the stars and sun ;
And these and poetry are one.
Dreary are the years when the eye can look no
—longer
With delight on nature or hope in humankind;
Yet may those that whiten 'ray temples as they
pass me •
Leave the heart unfrozen, and spare the cheerful
mind.
The secret wouldet thou know
To touch - the heart or fire the blood at will,
Let thine own eyes o'erflow,
Let thy lips quiver with a passionate thrill,
Seize the great thought ere yet its power be past,
Andlhind in words the fleet emotion fast.
Well has Nature kept the truth
She promised to thy earliest youth ;
The radiant beauty shed abroad. . c
On all the glorious works of God,
Shows freshly to thy sobered eye
Eaoh charm It wore in days gone by.
Thus, Bryant'a verse was made to speak his praise
in words as beautiful as flowers. When the poet
entered the rich chamber, crowded with the beauty,
talent, and distinction of the best social circles of
New York, he was rapturously greeted by his
friends. The great philosopher-poet, Emerson, as
native to America as the Adirondacs ; Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe, a fair-faced, thoughtful poetess, of
Boston,; Oliver Wendell Holmes, the- bright-eyed,
compact r witty Doctor ; George H, Boker and Bay
ard Taylor, representatives of the progressive litera
ture of Pennsylvania—were among the invited
guests who were able to attend, and were the assist
ing priests of the festival ceremonies.
The Hon. George H. Bancroft, president of the
Century (laurelled historian and kindly gentleman),
gave a heart full of greeting to the poet on behalf of
his celebrants. It was a touching eulogy—the
white-haired historian 'Congratulating the venerable
poet on his years. How Bryant had lived a life
above reproach, and high in the respect of all—
how, amid all the rancors and ambitions of active
public life, his name was unblamed and unblemistr
ed—how the future of great centuries beyond would
turn to Bryant's pages to admire the early and vir
gin loveliness of the American muse—all this we
wish could be told as Bancroft told it. "Live on,
my dear Bryant," said the old historian, placing
the hand of a brother on the shoulder of the poet--;
"live on,that you may see the trimuph of that freedom
for which you have striven—live on that you may
hear the praise of your children's children's child
ren." Mr. Bryant's modest and grateful response
turned applause into humor, as the poet made grave
drollery of his old age. Lear said that " Old age Is
unnecessary ;" Johnson, that " superfluous lags the
veteran on the stage ,' and Shakspere again—
" The good die young;
And we, whose hearts are dry as summer's dust,
Burn to the socket."
Then came the amusing picture of a condition of
things. in a world made up of old men altogether,
drawn with ; the gentle humor of Irving. At the
close of IVlreßryant's speech a choir sang the fol
lowing Birthday °haunt, by Bayard Taylor, to
excellent music by Louis Lang, the artist :.
One hour be silent, sounds of war!
Delay the battle he foretold,
And let the bard's triumphant star
Pour down from heaven its mildest gold.'
Let Fame, that plucks but laurel new
For loyal heroes, turn away
And twine, to crown her poet's brow,
The greener garland of the bay. •
Foi he, our earliest minstrel, fills
The land with echoes, sweet and long,
Gives language to her silent hills,
And bids her rivers move to song.
The PitoSpas of the Nation's dawn,
Sole-risen above oar toneless coast,
As_llesper, now, his lamp burns oa--

THE PRESS.--PITILADELPHIA, NIONOAir, NOVEMBEIi, 7, 1864.
Following this graceful lyric, rho Characteristic
face of Ralph:Waldo Emerson rose Into rellef-.7that
remarkable countenance, ao suggestive of the wis.
dom of the serpent and the harmlessness of the
dove. What Emerson said of Bryant, all literary
Leaders will be curious to hoar. In brief, he praised
him as a source and cause of poetry, and truly
patriotic poet. While some of the 'younger poets
of our day have seen pictures of mountains, Bryant
has seen the mountains themselves, and travelled
them staff in hand. But arr. Emerson epitomized
his tribute, and Indeed all eloquence In praise of
the poet, by quoting liloore's lines in memory of the
poet Crabbe, which he truly described as the best
Moore has written
The artist, Daniel Huntingdon, then presented
to Mr. - Bryant the, magnificent album of forty
sketches, contributed by the artists of the Century.
Mrs. Julia- Ward Howe, Mr. George H. Boker l
our own gifted townsman, and Oliver Wendel'
Holmes followed with elrquent poems in honor
of the pcet.patriarch. These will re-appear in
the memorial of the Poet's Birthday to be pub
lished by the Century Club. Among the guests at
the festival were Major General Nathaniel P.
Banks, Captain Worden, the naval hero, and other
men eminent in politics and in the army. Though
the celebration was a private one, the number of
distinguished men who assisted in its honors, and
the great worth and exalted name of Bryant, make
its record one of national interest to all who love
American Song as they love American Freedom.
Bryant was doubly honored in his character of pout
and journalist. May the . true bard live long

The usual picket firing continues at the front, but
there is no news of importance. About fifty
Wounded officers from the -hospitals at City Point
came up on the Cossack.
The majority of them were wounded In the late
reconnoissance, and they . are going home to vote.
Some two hundred enlisted. men, who are sick
and unable for field duty at present, also came up
on the Cossack, on short leaves of absence, en route
to their homes in the Wortlf:
The Cossack brought up the body of Captain D.
H. Giwnßa, of the 81st Pennsylvania Volunteers,
to be forwarded to the friends of the deceased.

APIROINTMENT OF CHIEF QUARTERMASTER.
Col. M. J. LIIDDINGTON, late of the Army of the
Potomac, has been appointed Chief Quartermaster,
In place of Col. J. Epson, mustered out of the ser
vice.
It has been discovered that the parties engaged
in the New York election frauds used the names of
Ohio, Massachusetts, and other soldiers, taken from
rolls of hospitals and camps in this vicinity ; and, in
theblanks, credited them to New "yak ,
State regiments. Several thousand of theie * votes
have gone on to New York.
DEPARTURES TO THE NORTH.
Thousands of persons, soldiers and civilians, con
tinue to leave Washington for ihoir homes to vote
on next Tuesday. The travel Is unprecedented, and
extra trains are numerous.' Some of the heads of
departments and chiefs of bureaus, together with a
very large number of Government clerks, have de
parted hence on similar business.
THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING. •
The printing for the departments—that of the
War i pepartinent especially—is so urgent that the
numerous presses of the Government Printing
Bureau cannot kbep up with the demand, and hence
the private printing establishments are employed
to assist.
Numerous •Executive appointments,_ including
several important judgeships, which have been for
weeks or months vacant, will not be fWed till after
the Presidential election.
Acctunts received at the Post Office Department
represent the new postal money -order system as
being satisfactorily inaugurated. -

are California, C'onneotiont, Illinois, Indiana, lowa,

Hampsldrer New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylva-
Rhode *lsland, Vermont, Wisconsln—in all,
seventeen. Those which cast their electoral votes
against him are Delaware, Kentuoky, Maryland,
Missouri, New Jersey—in all, five.
2. But in twelve of these States, California, Con
neotient, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Blaine, Massachu
_setts,. Michigan, New Hampshire, Oldo, Vermont,
and Wishonsin, the strongeit candidate opposed to
Mr..LlnCOln was Douglas. Now, two-ttards of tile
Douglatvote has been given to Lincoln in 1863-4.
In Pennsylvania the Fusion ticket makes It
Inifossible to give the full vote for. Douglas;
16,765 Were cast dire oily for "him, and of the
Fusion votes the majority were not for Break:
inridge. The Douglas Democrats of Pennsylvania
have, since 1860, carried the State for Lincoln and
Curtin in all important elections. .
3. In four States, Kentucky, Maryland, Massa
chusetts, Missouri, Bell polled a heavy vote. At
least one-lialfof it will now be given to Lincoln.
A WORD OF COMMitif T.
Ignoring the fact that the war has destroyed the
old party lines, the New York Herald takes 'the
table of 1860, above printed, and argues that 'the
united votes for the Breokinrldge, Douglas, and
Bell tickets show a popular majority of 103,623
against Lincoln. Nothing could be more absurd
than this calculation. True, the united votes of the
three tickets exceed the votes for the Lincoln ticket
by 103,623,. but this majority was not east against
any one ]pan.
The Douglas men Doted against Breckinridge more
than against Lincoln.
.The Bell men voted as much against Breckinridge
as against Lincoln.
The Breckinridge men voted solid against all
three of the other candidates.
Thousands of men who then voted for Douglas,
declared that, If he were not In the field, they would
support Lincoln. The admitted fact that the Douglas
party bitterly hated the Breckinridge faction, and
sympathized far more with the Lincoln party,
shows how greatly the Herald has perverted arith
metic in adding up 'the votes of three rival parties, and
casting rent as a unit against the fourth.
INPOETANT ELECTIONS SINCE 1860.
The Presidential vote in the loyal States in 1860
is not, however, a fair basis by which to estimate
the Presidential vote of 1804. The rebellion revolu
tionized politics in the North, Hundreds of thou
sands who voted'against Lincoln then, sustain him
now. Thousands of leading men who opposed his
election, now support his Administration, and de
clare the importance of maintaining, it in power.
Almost every Douglas Democrat obeys the dying
request of his leader, and stands by the Govern
ment, irrespective of former party ties. This com
plete reorganization of parties has changed the po•
litical character. of every -State, and it is therefore
necesaary to' base our calculations for the Prost
'llential election of 1864 upon the vote for State
officers. * doing this, we select those elections-in'
which the lades of this canvass were involved, and
give, as far as possible, the State elections of 1864.
We publish first the majorities in 1863, forin many
States no important elections have been held this
year. The political condition which the following
table shows, has been changed materially, but all
the changes are in favor of the Union ticket

There )vas no opposition to the election of Mr. Sml
fliers to Congress. There has been no real test vote in
Delaware in 1863 64, and it is therefore placed among
tb e,doub(ful States.
t The vote, for. Judges of. Supreme Court in Missouri
was a cont.* between radlcal•aud conservative Union
ists. The complexion of the Legislature" of 1863-6.1 is
81 for•Emancipationists to 49 Democrats.'
•¢ In this election Gilmore (U.) lost 4,372 votes, given
to Harriman (War D.) Gilmore was elected by the Le
gislature. This is a case which shows that the elec
tions of 7863 do not thoroughly show the present
cal status,for Gilmore was re-elected this year by about
six thousand majority.
8 In 1562 Oregon gave between three and four thou
sand Union majority for Governor.
MAJORITIES IN 1864.
The nearer we can come to this Presidential eleo
- in repotting State votes, the firmer is our ha
sis of calculation. Fortunately, no less than eleven
States have voted on the great issues of this canvass
in 11364. These are Vermont, New Hampshire,
Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Oregon, Cali
fornia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio.
Every one of them hoe gane" - decisively for the Union.
The 'following are official majorities :
Union. Opp.
Vermont 19,355
New Hampshire 5,398 ,
Maine 15,913
Connecticut .. 5,488
Rhode. Island 1,533
Oregon 2,763
In Rhode Island - the straight Union ticket had
3,835; against 7,302 War Democrat. But it is to be
noted that an Independent Union ticket was run,
which polled 1,329 votes.
In round numbers the following Stabs gave ma

Here are figures for those that love them. Eleven
States voting this year give Union majorities so
large: that no Opposition efforts can possibly over-
Come - lhem. The Copperhead falsehood that any
underhand measures _are needed to carry those
States for Lincoln is plain, for if any party needs
cheating to help it, It Is the Opposition. All the
figures are dead against its hopes.

Cemacoorr, N. Y., Nov. 6.—Last night's express
train from Dunkirk ran off the track, tbis morning,
, at this station, in consequence of the. displacement
of a switch. The engine, baggage car, and two pas
eenger cars were thrown down an embankment.
The fireman and several passengers were killed, and
a large number were wounded. Among the killed

stration we can afibrd to concede him the electoral

In conoluslon, we find that to state the matter
broadlyo and without exaggeration,the Union party,
since 1802, has controlled twenty States, giving an
aggregate of 186 eleetoral votes. We find that the
Opposition can, with any plausibility, claim success
in but 5 States, New Jersey, Delaware, Kentucky,
Missouri, Illinois. Thus a oftiouration, based on
.egures alone, assures us of triumph. We need - not
here go further. It is foreign to our present purpose

-mks in gurope, the comparison of the recent victo
ries of Grant, Sheridan, and Sherman, with his
failures, his own .vacillating political course, are
facts which have disorganized his party. But these
facts will have an influence on the vote In every
State, and no man can say how far they will in

HONIMSSION OP A DBPUTr GHAND COMMOTHER
CONSPIRAOY WITH THE HZIIIILS IN CANADA-.
ALARMING DESIGNS OF THE CONS PIRATORS.
lenierucroms, Nov, 4.—Horace Heffern, Deputy
Grand Commander of the Order of the Sons of Lt•
berty-in Indiana, who for some week's has been on
trial here for Participation in a treasonable conspi
racy, to-day turned State's evidence, and made a
startlipg .. renlation of the schemes of the order.
Ho said that nobody litit 'Democrats had been ad
mitted into the Order, or would be if they applied.
He confirmed the previous evidence of the mili
tary organization of the Order, and of the appoint
ment of a major general to command it. Dr.
Bowles, one of :the accused, was commander-in
chief, with a staff, of which Dr. James B. Wilson,
recently arrested, was adjutant general.
He Sag! that a committee of thirteen was appoint
ed to prepare for an insurrection, and that the in
surrection was intended to release the rebel pri-
soners in the Northwest, arm them' from the Go-
Vernment arsenals, overthrow the State Govern'
meat, kill Governor Morton, or hold him as a
hostage for captured instirrectionists, and then form
the Northwest into a separate confederacy.
He said he was told by Adjutant General Wilson,
of Bowles' staff, that $500,000 had been sent by the
rebel agents in Canada into the Northwest, to pur
chase arms for the Order, and that 8200,000 had been
left in Indiana, in the hands of Dodd and John C.
Walker, State agents. Wilson showed Heffern
si,ooo he".received from Bowles to buy arms in
Washington county. '
Heffern further swore that the committee of thir
teen had appointed ten men to kill Governor Mor
ton, and a few days since the Governor received a
letter, signed by one of the men, declaring that the
writer and his associates were sworn to kill him, and
would do it. Heffern's revelations astounded the
court, though prepared by the previous evidence for
part of it. If Governor Morton was killed, Dr-
Athon, Secretary of State and member of the Order,
was to take his place, as provided by law, in case of
the deata or disability of the Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor. .
Collision in Trenton between a Railroad
Train. and 'lce'Cann Procesidon.
Naw Yousr. Nov. s.—The Washington through
mail train, which started from Jersey City at half
past seven o'clock lastnight, encountered a McClel
lan procession on the track of the road in Trenton,
and a serious collision occurred. The procession
was marching across the track, when the locomo
tive.atruck a wagon containing a boat with thirty
six young women onboard, and threw them all Into
- the atreet. * The men in the procession, enraged at
this accident, immediately attacked the engine and
drove the train back to the depot. There was groat
excitement.
The particulars are substantially as follows:
It appears that the train, which reached Trenton
at the usual hour, passed on its way through the
city, and when a hundred yards from the Delaware
bridge came near the procession. The speed of the
train had slackened in order to run over the bridge
at the.ordinary low rate, and the engineer kept on
his way, with his bell ringing and his steam whistle
sounding.
The procession also marched on, when the engine
struck a wagon on which the boat was carried.
When it became evident that a collision must occur
an effort was made to stop the engine, but it struck
the hind wheels of the wagon, carrying, the •end of
the vehicle about twenty feet,: and upsetting the
boat and the ladles. Fortunately, none of them
were killed, and none, we hear, seriously injured,
though it is reported that a man's leg . as broken.
The excitement at the time was fearful. Several
hundred men had gathered round the engine, which
had stopped. The engineer and fireman fled for
their lives, and escaped in the confusion.
The mob became infuriated, and attempted to de
stroy the locomotive, not being able to find the en
gineer, on whom they desired to wreak their ven
geance. ,
They threw stones at the engine, breaking the
reflector, and injuring it in other respects, but
failed to break it. They crowded themselves on it
and on the cars, and managed to run the train back
to the depot.
Afterward another engine was procured, and its
engineer, who was knoWn to be friendly to the
crowd, attempted to take the train, on its way; but
the mob threatened him, and he was not permitted
to proceed. Fearing that the track would be do.
stroyed, or the bridge burned, the attempt to go
forward was abandoned.
Subsequently, whoa the train had been delayed
more than an hour, some of the leadeis of the pro.
cession were conciliated. These men rode on the
engine, declaring to the crowd that it was "all
right," and so the train was' taken out of Trenton.

REPORTS OF DESERTERS--RIIMORED CHARGES 1/4".
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.--Information from the
Army of the Potomac, up to yesterday morning, is
to the effect that military matters remain un
changed.. Not an item is to be had along the lines,
excepting the occasional arrival of a deserter from
the enemy with the stereotyped story of hunger,
etc. If the accounts from. them are true as to the
great number whoa desire to come into our lines,
there never was a better opportunity for them to do
so than at present.. Picket firing has almost ceased,
and the nights are dark, just such as deserters
would be supposed to desire ; but the coming tido
our lines of a few only does not go far to prove the
truth of such assertions.
Two deserters were to have been shot on Friday
but the execution of the sentence was postponed by
order of the Government. Their names are Samuel
J. Smith, 68th P. V., and private Rock, 15th N. Y.
Engineers.
A large nuMber of furlouglus, particularly to*men
in the hospitals, wore granted during the week, and
the boats leaving City Point were crowded. Yes- -
terday morning three hundred passengers were left
behind, there not being room for them on the mail
boat.
Among the rumors brought by passengers are the
following; That General Hancock resigns command
of the 2d Corps, to , assume that of a department;
that General Park will take charge of the 2d Corps,
while General Gibbons will be assigned to the Bth
Corps. It is also said that Major General Ham-
phries is to have a corps. A few days will, however,
show whether or not these reports are correct.

MOBS GUERILLA OUTRAGEB-THE TOWN OF ALXS-
Loursvirax, Nov. 4.—On Tuesday' night Sue
Manday's gang of cutthroats surrounded the house
of ltXr. Harper, two miles south of Midway, made
the old gentleman a prisoner,: and, without the
slightest provocation, murdered their victim in the
most cowardly and brutal manner. Mr. Harper
was a Union man. This was the only excuse the
outlaws had for the perpetration of the inhuman
outrage. It does seem that this Sue Monday is lost
to every womanly instinct, her heart wholly cor
rupted, and her nature fiendish, for she rejoices in
acts of cold blood and every species of crime.
cat Wednesday four guerillas, captured in Hen•
tacky, were sent by order of General Burbridge,
from the prison at Wilmington, under guard of a
file of soldiers, to Mr. Harper's residence, near Mid
way, and their shot to death in retaliation for the
murder committed on Tuesday.
We have not been furnished with the names of the
men who were shot.
On the night of October 31 anothe raid was made
on the little village
.of Almsville, on the Memphis
Branch Railroad, between Russelville and Clarks
ville. The guerilla- band numbered fifty men, and
the several stores of the place were robbed of goods
valued at $12,000.
On Wednesday afternoon. twenty-five guerillas
made a dash into Rocky Hill station / on the Nashville
Railroad. There were two sleeping cars on the
track, in one of which was an , old , negro *to had
both legs broken. They ordered him to get out;
but as ho could not move quick enough for them
they shot him, set Jiro to the cars, and burned them
with the old nogro. They met William Fox, a pl.'.
vats of thereth Kentucky Regiment, and after rob
bing him shot him. ,

In the fight which Moseby had on Sunday last,

Illinois Cavalry, he lost seven men killed, several
wounded, and some fifteen who were taken prisoners.
This comes from a source which has always proved
correct, and
_therefore is entitled to the strictest.
credit.
On Sunday night last some six or eight outlaws,
who are styled Partisans , ' by the rebel authorities,
proceeded - to the house of an old man, residing about
84 miles south of Burke's Station, named Yelbar
ton, and took possession of his premises In the name
of the 'United. States.
Several of the party being in the uniform of the
United States soldiers, they said they wore autho
rized to search the house, and at once proceeded to
ransack it for booty. Upon a remonstrance being
entered by the old man, he was summarily knocked
down, and his wife, quite an aged woman, severely
abused and maltreated. The ruffians succeeded in
finding two hundred and 'fifty dollars in money.
They took all the clothes they could lay hands upon,
even to the old man's coat and boots.
The money was the hard-earned savings of several
years' industry, and the loss of it, with the clothing,
bidding, blankets, &c.; leaves the aged pair in a
truly destitute condition. Yesterday the aged couple
came to the city, and permission was given them to
carry out supplies. They had not been gone long
ere the Secesh raised a cry that they were smug
gling goods to the rebels. A reserve was sent out,
who overhauled them, and found they had about
one-half the goods their permit called for. Of
course, they were allowed to proceed.
