THE ELECTION IN PEN NSYLVANIA T
Glorious Victory forth.) Friends of Union
A COMPLETE DEFEAT OF THE SYMPATHIZERS
WITH TRIEI ttEON
All hail !to the Keystone State! We have
met the enemy, and he is ours ! Pennsyl
vania has spoken, and sends greeting to, all
her sisters in the tlnion in the name of Lib
erty, Law and Peace—and to all her "er
ring sisters" out of the Union, in the spirit of
a stern determination to bring them back in
humiliation at the point of the bayonet, or to
welcome them as penitents asking once more
to be received into that glorious association
of free States, from which has sprung• all of
greatness, all of glory, and all the majesty
which the nation has enjoyed in the sight of
the governments of the world.
Sufficient is known of the result in the
State to show that we have gained at least
three members of Congress.
We will have a clear majority in the House
of Represen'atives, and in the Senate.
These results indicate the spirit of loyalty
and patriotism which pervade the people.
Oar opponents fought the battle on the worst
issues which they could create against. he
Government. They misrepresented the mili
tary operation 4 now in progress, depreciating
victories at once signal and glorious. They
exaggerated the necessary expenses of the
government, so as to appal the taxpayers with
visions of extortion and bankruptcy, hoping
thereby to excite the cupidity of the masses,
and thus extort an opposition to the Govern
ment. They maligned the memory of the gal
lant dead, and then asked the mourning sur
vivors of those who had perished in bat
tle to turn on the Government and hold it
accountable for the bloody deeds of traitors.
They did all that mean men acting as the
hirelings of a meaner eause were capable of do
ing, and after thus attempting their dirtiest
best, they have failed before the tribunal of the
ballot-box, and stand to-day condemned in
the judgment of the nation. Never was a vic
tory more opportune ! Never was a triumph
more powerful for good, more potent for the
safety of a people struggling, not only to
maintain their nationality, but to preserve
that free form of government which, when it
ceases to exist in this the land of the free,
it will have no recognition among men, and
be blotted from the memory of all nations.
God bless old Pennsylvania! God bless
the true men who have thus stood firmly by
the right I They have saved the nation, and
made themselves immortal in history, while
America has a pen to write the record of her
greatness and glory.
--The Philadelphia Press thus hopefully
and elegantly refers to the suming up of the
grand result. There is a counsel in what is
here said; which, we trust, will not be lost on
our friends all over the State:
That a substantial victory was achieved in
Pennsylvania yesterday by the Union • forces,
on the home vote, is beyond controversy. It
must not be forgotten that we have made all
our calculations upon the vote of the election
last year, when Governor Curtin was re-elect
ed by a majority of 15,335, and when, ou
a reasonable estimate, from 15,000 to 20,-
000 soldiers voted—at least two-thirds of
whoiii supported Curtin. Yesterday we had
few or noise of these men voting in their re
spective election precincts. The thousands
who d d thr w their ballot, have wi yet been
cne,t.d. Under the law of the last Legislature,
the return of the soldiers' vote must be made
by the election officers in the various camps
and hospitals to the Prothonotaries of the
respective counties, which cannot be pub
lished for some days. This vote is estimated
variously at from 30,000 to 40,000, of which
at least two-thirds, judging by the intelligence
already received, will go tor the Union can
didates. We think, therefore, the Union
majority on the home and soldiers' vote will
be at least 25,000. When it is recollected that
we fought under the most dreadful disadvan
tages, it is indeed a substantial triumph. And
this is more apparent when we remember ih'af,
we have carried both branches of the Legislature,
and gained at bast three members of Congress ;
and with the soldiers' vote shall not be sur
prised if we gain one or two more. Where
ever the Union vote has fallen off heavily, as in
Lancaster, Erie, Chester, and so forth, this is
to be attributed to the enormous proportion
of Union men ni the army. But frankness
compels us to say that all these counties, in
cluding several others, not necessary to name,
our friends must at once veoreclize if th y to uld
be worthy of thair ancient fame at the Nuvetnber
election.
Which of the 111111ersi
Such was the question asked by many an
anxious citizen as the announcement was
made, Miner is certainly defeated. WHIC3I or
Tit Musants? We are happy in being able
to answer that qu'estion. t he defeated Miller
is Wuziam EHNHT. The Fourteenth Congres
sional District is thus redeemed s fiom as ford a
disgrace as ever rested on any people—a di.i
graee, because every plighted faith has hem
violated—the interests of au enterprising
people neglected, and the patriotism of intelli
gent communities entirely ignored, by the
representetiou of Mr. Wm. H. Miller.
A Question and an d!aiwer.
Mr. Samos Guthrie,, one of the makers of
the Chicago Platform, asks, in a late speech
to hidlans, "Who dares ay that we shall not
have peace upon the basis of the integrity of
the Federal Union ?"
Mr. George H. Pendleton, who, with Gen.
Geo. B. 11.1)1ellan, stands upon Kr. Guthrie's
platform, and for Whom, as Vice President of
the United States, Mr. Guthrie intends to vote,
is the man who dares to say it. Mr. Pendle
ton, says, frankly: "If your differenoes are so
great that you cannot or will not reconcile
them, then, gentlemen, let the seceding States
depart in peace."
That is peace upon the basis of the disso
lution of the Uhion. Mr. Guthrie is answer
ed by his own candidate.
Home Vote—What it Means and What
Proves.it
The calculations necessary to arrive at a
correct statement of the result of the election
yesterday, must all start from points other
than those by which we heretofore indicated
the decision of the ballot box. In the first
place, the vote polled at home, is no indica
tion of the popular sentiment of the State.
That vote only partially represents the feeling
of the people of Pennsylvania, and until we
get the returns from the citizens of the State
Who are absent meeting the brunt of battle,
contending alike for the honor of the Common
wealth, the integrity and authority of the na
tion, the result of the election cannot be cor
rectly known. - The home vote, as a general
thing, will fix . the fate of candidates. But
there is a higher and a nobler object at stake
than the mere success of men, however vitally
that affects the operation of measures.
Our own view of the result is, that the peo
ple are all right, and that the copperhead
leaders have not succeeded in changing a
single vote that was cast last.year for Andrew
G. Curtin. We believe that every man who
supported Curtin in 1863, if he was alive yes
terday, and exercised the right of the fran
chise, voted the Union Republican ticket.
Whatever may have been the falling off of the
vote in certain districts, it will be made up by
the soldiers in our favor—while with the sol
diers vote added, we will increase ourstrength
at the November eiection, by polling the
votes of, a large number of men in districts
which were known to be sure at the last elec
tion, and where many men, our friends,
aware of this fact, did not go to the polls.
When every vote is known to tell in the gen
eral result of the State, and when that result
is known to decide the great object in view,
we are confident in being able to overwhelm
our foes with an avalanche of defeat. Our op-
ponents did their very best. They established
their force in every district. However singu
lar it may appear, in their strongholds they
fought as if they were desperate, ,believing
that they could only succeed by a mighty ef
fort—while in districts where the vote is al
ways against them, they lihored secretly,
imagining that they could rob the Union men
of victory. Hence, we know exactly what the
foes of the government are capable of accom
plishing. We know their fall strength. This
knowledge is of the utmost importance to us
for the great battle that is yet to be fought.
We are thus not only enlightened as itL,vri,..4-
we can ae, bac we are solemnly impressed
and admonished as to what we MUST DO.
There must, we are confident there will be - no
halting or hesitation among our friends at
the coming election in November. Our foes
have nothing to lose in November because
they gained all they could and were defeated
yesterday. We have everything to gain--a gain
by the increase of our majorities—a gain by
calling out our full vote—a gain by wresting
our country from the bloody grasp of trai
i tors. Close up in front, then, friends of
the Union ! There must be no sleeping, no
feasting„ no pausing between this and No
vember. All the glory in - which we expect
to robe that victory, must be derived from
our own vigilance, that eternal vigilance
whicii is the price of liberty.
Close nip in Front I t'orward.:
The contest yesterday, must only. ,be re
garded as the first shock of the great battle
which is fast'approaching and which will he
fought in November. It was a reconnoissance
in force to feel the numbers and position of
the enemy. Having fully accomplished all we
desired, and ascertained the exact strength
and position of the enemy, it now becomes ne
cessary for the front along the whole line of
the great Union army to be closed up, every
man at his post, every soldier ready for the
mighty struggle, and then! Forward! for vic
tory! The contest of yesterday taught us that
our foes do not intend to present us with a
triumph. The bold bad men who have de
luded ignorant, people into their support,
and who lead the factions composing the
Democratic party, are determined to die hard.
Defeated yesterday, they , will only fight the
fiercer a month hence. Utterly lest. o shame
or the influence of principle, our opponents'
are resolved to fight the coming contest for
results, of personal revenge,'for the creatiou of
an anarchy, if possible, throughout the,free
States, which will ingulph the whole country
in the bloody wave of civil war.
—Our friends must at once set about re-or ion
izing. The man who stands aloof from his
party now—the man who neglects to make
every effort for the increase of our vote, has
no claim upon' the blessings of a good
government, no interest in the hope of a
speedy end of the war,and restoration of the
whole country to peace and prosperity. Let
us a ll go to the work, from this hour forward
until the polls colse- in November," and the last
loyal vote has been cast: Nothing now .but ac
tion will prove our determination to increase
our success in November.
Ohio, Indiana nnd Pennsylvania.
The home vote in those three great States,
clearly establishes the devotion of the. peo
ple to the great cause of human liberty, civil
ization and Christianity. There can now be
no longer any doubt about the result in these
three States in favor of Mr. Lincoln: With a
proper effort; these ,States can be carried by
the same vote—arid it would be well if ~our
friends iiithis 'State; particularly, would con
duct the I,!reiia t tlia campaign via' if the re
sult deismied akine upon their individual:ef
forts. Indeed, we must not rely on the . , vote
of theittldies-tO eleet Mr. That isa
work which the people at home must accom-
plish. The work of the soldier is conflitesl to
vindicating the national authority, upholding
the national honor, and not merely to support
and re-elect men to office. All we have a
right to ask from the soldier, in the struggle.
at the ballot box, is to increase our majorities
in favor of the right. And that he will gal
lantly do !
—With Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania
against them, the enemies of the Union and
the Government in the loyal States, should be
satisfied. But we have no right to be satis
fied until we have completely established our
power to sustain the Government at the bal.
lotobox.

Could you,' Mr. Editor, have passed with us
among these brave men, some at the point of .
death and others at the post of danger, and
seen 'their faces light •up when they said,
"Give us one for Abg, and Andy," you could
not but believe that the army is trulyloyal% as
well as brave.

Clellan, 379; total vote, 3,858; Lincoln's ma

Another correspondent adds: •
"I send the following as the result of a vote.
for President, recently reported by the Ist
sergeants of the 40th Massachusetts Regiment:
Lincoln 174; M'Clellan 30. This was a strongly
Democratic regiment, and. the result of the
vote is very gratifying. It only shows the
feeling of the whole army, which fails to see
how it can consistently vote for a candidate
for whom the Rebels in arms now in our front
cheer and 41 -. 4 * hats. C. W_"
- In the face of such facts as these, is it won
derful that the Copperheads have always been
against allowing the soldiers to vote?
