The Gallant Democracy of Greene County. We lack words to express the v4rati fication we feel for the splendid vote which was cast on Tuesday last by our glorious Democracy for our noble Stad ard bearer, GEORGE B. ncLEL LAN. This vote is alike creditable to themselves, and to their candidate. Fir zErx rfrNDRED AND ThIIRTi is t he largest Democratic majority ever given is a Presidential or Gubernatorial Elec tion in this county. This vote furnish. es unquestionable evidence of the con tinued devotion of our Party to the principles of JEFFERSON its founder and its ablest ex-pouent. We have had detections from our raki, - but they have been few and un important, and they have only served to sw9ll'our numbers. For every weak brother that has fallen away, seduced by disappointed vanity or unhallowed ambition, half a score of new and ster dy recruits have been added to our ranks, and more worthily supplied the place of those who had left. Greene County has ever been faith ful to the principles of Democracy. As our fathers voted, so vote their sons : Amid at every new trial of our strength the majority has been increased. We append a few of our latest Presidential and Gubernatoreal votes, which devzon *rate the truth of onr statement. • We hereby return our hearty thanks to our whole sou!ed Democracy for this last expression of their unflinching de votion to our candidates and our princi plea. We have faith that a ' better day is coining" when their unfaltering fidelity to principle, shall be rewarded in county, in Stale, and in a UNITED NATION ! !

If within the nest tour years the Demo cratic party suffers Mr. Lincoln to snake a peace With the South recognizing its inde pendence, then the LTnion is "clean gone for ever." Southern independence once won and acknowledged, the pride of success, the sentiment of nationality, will forbid them to relinquish it, and the Democratic party coin ing into power at the end of his term, would be compelled to abide by engagements by which the national honor would have been 1,140 bound. 2,673 1,614 1,0;9 2,669 1,529 1863 2,960 1,484 1,476 1864 2,963 1.433 1,530 rThe Election and the Result*.

But there needs be no dt lay in • saying that for the next four years, as during the past four rears, it will vindicate its honor and its patriotism alike. It will never de generate from constitutional opposaion to faction ; it will uphold and ft&ocate in op position what it would enact in administra tion, with an impartiality• unshaken by in terest, passion, injustice, obloquy, failure ; it will fan tile embers of civil liberty ; it will hold fast to "the Union at ail hazards' in the pew and most terrible dangers which that Union now has to encounter from the i^- competency of the rulers re-elected to be time instruments of the nation... salvation.

Now, as ever, the Demo cratic party will, in the language of its noble standard bearer, what has well deserved the highest honors et the nation, stand stead tast, firm, Unmovable, and faithful to •`tho Union at all hazards. - It will be its duty to resist a disunion peace by all the moral power of a great party, which, though to in possession of the government, can yet exert a weighty influence upon tbe public opinion of the country. There can be no doubt that a vast and preponderating majority of the people Of the North are againtr the acknowledgment of the Southern Confederacy in any possible event.

That this result had been pre arra;,gol by our opponents, is demonstLable from various facts. That the administration nketl the influence of its position, its immense patronage—larger, pecuniarily, than all the previous administrations united—that it ex erted its p trcr. in all the ways that power can be brougtli to bear, whether in its civil Or military capacity, through !he hundreds of thousands of otlicials, both civil and mill- tary, without conscience, justice, or any re gard to fairness, none can doulit, who ho.ve watched the progress of event& That terri t tries were attempted to be dragooned into the Union, by the direct application of ad ministration influence fur the purpose of stvjling the Electoral vote to increase the chances of perputuatino the rule of the le laiblican Marty and the very administration thus using it, no t-ie can doubt,. '1 the same result was designed by the monstrous attempt to erect bogus States out of the Rebel States, by the action of one-tenth of the people of these States, aided by the mil itary dependents of the party in power. is equally beyond doubt. But, happily for the peace of the country, these degrading aids to perpetuate ;Le reign, need not be used by the administration ! That civil convulsion and anarchy woad have grown out of such abuse, we cannot doubt : It was iu view of this that we said last week, we hoped that whatsoever result might he reached by the election, that it would 1;e so decided as to leave no room fur cavil.

We have devoutly believed (although our judgment may, perhaps, have been bribed by our hopes) that the election of General McClellan would lead to a speedy and mineable understanding between the two hostile sections ; a:A that, in a spirit of mutual conciliw ion, the Union would hay, been restored, substantia'dy on its old basis without further bba.ikifed, and without the burden of maintaining a great and costly army of occupation in the with. This hope has met with s cruel tool desolating disap pointment. We wild not aticct to conceal the profound chagrin mid sorrow with which we contemplate the result. But on merely grounds, we have no fears to shed over Mr. Lincoln's triumph. Whatever par ty might have administered the government during the next presidential team would be hurled out of power at its expiration amid a storm of public execration. During this four years we have sown the witid , during the next foes years we shall reap the whirlwind. The weak pciint is our finances ; it is, inevi table that, in the coining presidential term, they will be overtaken by a collapse. Men maddened by poverty, hunger, and grinding taxes down not reason with inuell justice : they are disposed _to wreak their vengeance on the party in actual possession of the gov ernment. But witb the Republican parry in power, justice and popular veng,ence will go hand in hand. They v.lio sowed the seed will reap the bitter harvest. The Demo cratic party could not have t resented its ripening, but only have diminished the terri ble abundance of the crap. But as things have turned out, the people, when the hour of sore distrsss comes, instead of cursing the Demccratic party, will turn to it for ruling. Thy y will remember its warning. acknowl edge its sagacity, and foresight, and chng to it for deliverance.. Its prospects were never so good ao, they are to day for a !ong career of power and usefulness. Within the next four _years popular madness will have spent its force, and the public judgment be sober td and rectified in the school of calamity. The Democratic party close on the heels of defeat, is not called upon to define its fu ture policy. That, if enrghtened, must needs be shaped by events yet to emerge. and not within the ken of present prophesy. The questions of foreign intervention, and other questions which not even the adminis tration (much less the opposition) can con trol, may so change the aspect of affairs be fore another election, as to render any pro graminc absurd that might be devised at present. It is the duty of the Democratic party to keep a vigilant eye upon events, and, when the time shall have again come for action, to accept their logic. Its freedom from re sponsibility imposes on it no duty but to watch for public safoty. For ouselves, we have no desire to see it fitted with a dog matic strait jacket to impede its free growth and development. Let the next two years be a period of free mental activity, fettered by wa narrow and repressive formulas.— Whosoever strikes out any new truth, or even starts a plausible error with vigor enough to provoke and quicken intelligent investigation, is a public lienefaCtor.

Let the hottest and decent in ranks of the adininistra. tion answer. What do men like Generals Dix, Sickles, and Judge Pierrepoint think of this tampering with the United States mails and ballot box ? Yesterday, in Duchess county, a tact like this come to our notice: A soldier, who had sent hone his vote fir the IMnocrxic nominees some days atter wari, received a furlough, and, on reaching Red Hook, last week, went to his sealed ballot he found on opening it, that it had been tampered with, and that the electoral ticker, which he had placed in the ballot fendlet h n, L t d been .9 , 11 mt doe,/ by a Lincoln and, ,ruh/ison ti: .tort. This soldier makes oath of the truth of this. statement. which is 11 , ;15" in the hands of Hon. Widiam Kelly, one of the state commissioners in Washington city, with Judge , Allen and Parker. We have evidence of just such frauds perpetrated up on soldiers' vote in this city and in Philadel i,hia, and in the latter city, in one instance, the vote of one of General Grant': staff was changed from McClellan to Lincoln after he had forwarded the ballot. It is to cover up just such frauds as these that we hear so much of frauds by Democratic agents. (As a specimen of the soldiers' votes for Mr. Lincoln, it was stated in Washington yesterday that the President had had his at tention called to a case where the colonel and adjutant of a regiment have returned eight hundred and sixty votes, of which seven hundred and ninety were for Lincoln, when only one hundred and fifty men are now in the regiment at service!

Tell the Truth I once lived in a country village with my annt, Who has since joined my dear mother, who WAS taken to heaven when I was a• babe. This aunt loved me very lanai; but it often she& a gHont over my thonghts as I think how I ti 'u her kind heart, and how very naughty I was. It was on a bright and siinny morning ; that I started to school, about two miles dis- , ; taut. My aunt gave me a letter to take to the post a few doors from the school hoitse, and also a penny to bay a stamp to put on it. I put the penny in my pocket, and the lett : sr I tiirttit into any rap, fund thus I started. As I walked along with it companion a beautiful butterfly flew across the path, and joyfully tluttered along the side of the hedge. As soon as I saw it I took oil my cap, and, all intent on the chase, I did not see the letter drop, and in a mo-• uncut afterwards the light summer breeze carried it along the road, and I lost it. The loss I tlmnd out not very 14)ng after ; bar what was Ito du? SAd to tell, Satan. whom the bible says is the father of lies," and my own evil heart, tempted me, and I was led into sin. I thought I would deceive aunt, and make her believe I had posted the letter ; and the penny I spent before I went to school. I am sorry to tell you about my wicked conduct ; but I do so that you may avoid the wrong path int.) which I entered. Tito Jotter. however, was picked up by a person who lived at a lodge -gate: and as she knew who wrote it she gave it to me on my return in the evening, to take back with me. Oh well would it have been if, even then, I had stopped and took the letter home, confessing all ; but this, alas! I 41 not do —forgetting, that " He who clue: one fanit nt first, And lies to hide it, makes it two." I hid the letter, thinkingP that then my aunt would know nothing 16oirt it. I dtd not know the text, Be" sure your sin will find yo:; out. B„..f,ate I had reached !mine m y companion had been there, and told all to my aunt. When I arrived she asked me it I had posted the letter. and I answered, "Yes!"Then that dear face, so loving, cheertel and happy, was Overcast with deep sorrow. 1 cannot quite remember what she said, but I have not forgotten her,grief and tears—tears of sorrow for my gin. She theu, punished me, and prayed with me. Sines that day T have found out, and I hope never to forget it, what to do when I am tempted to do wrong. It is this, that as soon as wicked thoughts come into my heart,. at once to " resist the devil;•' and pray for help.
