THE RESULT OF, THE BLECTIHN.
In referring to the result of the election,
yesterday, we are moved by but a single ,emo
tion, and that is of gratitude to God, for His
interposition in thus snatching the "land of
the free and the home of the brave" from im
pending ruin. The victoryis one of the most
brilliant any people. ever achieved in the cause
of right. It settlm c forever, the perpetuity
of the 'Union. Itilkies, 4 ternally, the power of
the Government,to iniforee its laws. It leaves
no doubt. on the minds of our enemies, that we
are in earnest in the purpose to push their war
to a bitter end. It illustrates the ability of
the brave and the loyal. It is a picture of pa
triotism that will retain its beautiful colors
forever. And it reminds the traitors at home
and the despots of Europe, that the free
masses of the American people are moving to
their emancipation, and will shortly move to
the emancipation of the oppressed in all
parts of the world. Truly may we give thanks
to God for such a victory ! Its glory,biilongsi
alone to Him! He touched the hearts of the
great masses at the proper time. He in
spired them with . the faith, that this was the
home of the poor man—the last refuge of the
oppressed of all nations ! In that inspiration
the victory was won! And in a like inspira
tion its benefits will be perpetuated.,
Our Country anct Out Countryman.
We are of those whb cultivate no acrimony
during the progress 'of an election, nor do we
allow ourselves to tarry any animosity be:-
yond a polit4c4 contest. If, after the .popS
have been closed, we have been defeated; itis
our business td submit to the, reverse, ac
knowledge that we have been worsted and
quietly set abdire'reodring . damages. There
never was a, iot:tAtl party, contesting for
power in this country,`" brit the one now in
rebellion, which ever attempted to set aside
the vote of a majority. The Whig party, the
Anti-masonic party, the Abolition party, and
the Republican party, each in its turn has
been defeated. And to their honor, all his-
tory bears testituony that they gracefully and
fairly submitted to defeat, going forward and
supporting the Government as it was admin.
istered`by their political'opponents, with the
good grke beCoirting Men and patriots.—
When we were victorious; when our friends
have triumphed, neither one Of us, have made
such victories the occasion of brutal rejoicing.
Even now, in the presence of one of the moat
sublime victories ever achieved, our friends
are calm and sober—showing that they. feel
the importance of the result and are ready to
ascribe the credit to the proper cause. This
is as it should be; and , we allude to the fact as
the best evidence that. the people mean to
maintain the Government, and that even the
domestic foes of:Put grost oystemwhich now
claims a hemisphere for its empire, will be
allowed, if they be;litiVe thetiteelves' in the
future, to share its , olories and 'enjoy its ben
efits.
In this connection 'we deem itdue that we
should offer le* words of advice to that
large portion of our countrymen, who have
suffered themselves to be dnped, to be de
cieved and deluded by what are called "Dem
ocratic leaders." The masses of the Demo
cratic party area honest: The)Warkingmen
who belong to that. organization are,true to
the country. Thlf poor men who have for
long years followed thelthantoms of Demme-.
cy, were patriotic in their belief that they were
securing a country for themselves and their
children—a country whose equalities would
protect them iu the enjoyment of their sim
plest rights. But at length the spell is broken!
The scales are falling from the eyes of the
poor and the honest men, and we have now
the spectacle of pollticiiins calling themselves
"Democrats" detected in a -complicity with
traitors to destroy thuproudest attributes of
real Democracy, Ss' the:se are centered in
the safety of a' flee Government. With,
the elave.drivers! of:. the south,:. the Dem
ocratic leaders of the free States sought
the overthrow .of , free Government that al
labor might, be ; . enslaved. This charge is
as true'' as .
is the ° allegation that the
Democratic leaders <are are the allies of the tral
tore in arms. And these are facts which we
want the poor man to remember. ;These are
truths which we want the honest men who
• lidie so long been deceived by the Democratic
leaders seriously to consider. Remember,
even if you insanely labored at the beck and
nod of traitors, to defeat the men who
are struggling to . save the Government,
you will all derive , an equal share of the
benefit resultinA : fro" a loyal victory.
You and your . sons and daughters
live enjoy the biesaings and the
equalities of a great free Government which ,
the leaders of your party labored to destroy,
but which by'God'a providericeis now forever
perpetuated. Had the Democratic leaders
. suceSeded, the poor man in a year after
such a victory, would have had no land--no
country---no home! The slave-holders' lash
would havelaen heard in every workshop in
the land. The roll of slavery would have been
called in Independence Square and at the foot
of Bunker Hill konument. The blood -hounds
of slavery would have groUded and barked i n
every Northern village ,as they rushed on
their bloody trail in
,pursuit of the fugitive.
This was the purpose of the leaders of De
mocracy. It has failed, and we want the poor
men who allowed themselves to be used by
demagogues and traitors ,to remember these
facts. We do not ask any of these to attach
themselves to the political organization in op
position to the'Sham-Deimocraoy, but we ask
the poor mew of the land, the honest portion
o f th e beincieratia•peuti, to beware how they
again'
lend . themselves to a scheme to ;rah
their country to' ruin: -0,;I:od and the great in
,struments He has seen fit to use for our rescue,
may not again turn aside to, save is from a

Frauds in the First Ward.
The election frauds perpetrated in the first
ward, in Harrisburg, are so glaring, that it is
absolutely necessary to have a thorough exam

s
of Ms don, dated in September, 1864.;:. One of
our friends placed a private mark on the docu
ument., and during the aftentoon the son.re-:
turned, and voted again on the same paper.
This was done after the proper challenge had
been made.. _
Twelve more persons attempted to vote, but
when they were challenged they left the polls,
for thoqiurpose; its they said, to procurelheir
paPers, but they never returned. These men
have voted for years illegally, and deserve to
be punished. When the vote was counted,
nine more tickets were in, the box than there
were names on the tally papers. This might
occur at a poll where the number of voters is
very large, but in a small ward, like the first,
it is almost impossible, without design and
fraud. The first ward • has been notorious
for frauds during the last few, years, and
it is time that some example be made of
the offenders. One of the offenders was in
diOted last year, but by some locus pocus
the case has never been trial - The grand
jury discharged their duty by finding a true
bill, but no tkiel'hit4 as yet-taken place.
Will George B. iirielellein Beeign
We want to know, now; in all candor and se
, .
riousness,' wheth er. `George B. M'Clellan will
longer continue to draw the pay of . if.itjor
General, which he does not earn. He was
tried as a military man, and he proved a fail
ure--a miserable, ridiculous, pretentious:and
arrogant upstart, who imagined that the
of an indulgent people first showered upon
him, made him greater than the people then:L T
selves. He has , been tried as the tool of
party, as the mere material for the manipula
tion of demagogues, and in this he again
proves a -failure. • The people - have rejected
Dl'Clellari,'ancl the people now demand that
he should resign—that he should return a
commission of confidence to a Government
which he sought do destroy. Will he do it?
Is George B. M'Clellan man enough to re-
sign ? •
Since the above was put in type, a telegraphic
dispatch from New York announces the fact
that Mr. M'Clellan ho's reSigniiid ! If this be
true, we may accept it as the.first prompt act of
his life, in response to the wishes of the Amer
ican' people. But however gratified we . would
be to know that the reported resignation . is
really true, we are,inolined to doubt it. "Lit
tle Mac" is too much enamored of his brass
buttons and his good pay to resign.
TErE SrA4E. Dun—Pecision.—lnquiry hav

ternal Revenue, whether notes require-an
extra stamp for interest, the following reply
hes been received :
TREAST/RY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF INTERNAM,
Ravabrox, Wastiingion, Nov. 1, 1864.—Sir:
I reply to yours' of the 31st nit., that a note
for the payment of five thousand dollars re
quires a stamp of two dollars and fifty'cents.
The stamp duty of a note or mortgage is mea.
sured by the amount expressed outhelase of
such papers, and therefore it does not include
the amount of interest tluit may accrue.
