. LET EY-GOEIS BE EY-GOKIS.
We have been desirous, since the election,
to allay, as far as possible. a!i animosity and
bad feeling that may have been produced
during the excitement and turmoil of the
canvass, llenee we have no reply to make
to the hitter or ansrry thing that have leen,
or tony he said on the other side. The peo
ple Lave decided the great questions which
wore before them, and it is the duty of eve
ry good citizen to accept and acquiesce in
that decision. We have no disposition to
dab? the discharge of this duty more diffi
cult or unpleasant than it would otherwise
be. We are perfectly w iiling to overlook,
and shall endeavor to forget, all the ascerli
lies of the campaign, and .sincerely Lope
that patriotic men of all parties and creeds,
will devote their energies to the fulfilment
of the; great national task before us that cf
banging the war to a speedy and triumph
ant termination.
Indeed, the victory achieved by the re
e'eetion of Mr.' Lincoln, was not a party vic
tory. He was supported by men of ail the
old political organizations men who threw
.tide, lor the time, personal preferences and
party creeds, and united in Lis support be
cause they firmly believed that upon his suc
cess, not as a man. Lut a.s the representative
of a policy, depended the salvation of the
country. 2s or were all those who -supported
Gem M'Clcllaii necessarily in sympathy with
oar enemies. Thousands of good, honest,
and patriotic citizens, believed that Gen.
.M'Clellan would not be governed by the
treasonable programme of the Chicago Con
vention, if elected, and thereTore yielded
him Their cordial and hearty support. They
are none the less ready to sustain their gov
ernment, and will be found on the side of
their country, faithfully discharging every
duty that devolves upon them. Let us all,
then, endeavor to act in the spirit of the
President, who, in a speech on the occasion
of a serenade after the election, thus, addres
sed his fellow citiz :ns :
"Now that the election is over, may not
all having a common interest reunite in a
common effort to save our common country '
Ceeers. For my own part, 1 have striven
and shall strive to avoid placing any obsta
cle in the way. Cheers. So long as T
have been here I have not willingly planted
a thorn in any man's bosom. " While 1 am
duly sensible to the high compliment of a
re-election, and duly grateful, as I tru-t, to
Almighty God for having directed my coun
trymen to a right conclusion, as I think, tor
their good, it adds nothing to my satisfac
tion that any other man may be disappoint
ed by the result. Cheers. J May I ak
those who have not differed with me to join
with me in this same spirit" toward those
who have ? And now let me close by aking
three heart' cheers for our brave soldiers
find seamen and their gallant and skilful
commanders."
SHEEMAIT.
After forcing his way straight through the
enemy's territory, over mountains and across
rivers, in the face of obstacles the most stu
pendous and in the mid.-t of perils the most
complicated so fertile in expedients that
he completely outwitted all the rebel de
Mgn. driving their entire army iefcre him,
until he planted his banners in triumph in
Atlanta Sherman is again on the wing, and
Lis serried ranks are majestically and surely
advancing towards the sea 1 What is to be
the immediate point of attack no one can
tell. Hebe! strategists anJ Northern news
paper correspondents are ali.ke confounded.
Whether he.is moving on Charleston. Mo
bile, or Savannah, is not known. .But what
ever be his destination, no one entertains
the slightest doubt that he will reach it, and
hold it. His generalship and his army are
both superior to any that can )e brought a
gainst him. Even the vaunted Lee him
self, is no match for Sherman. The annals
of history will be searched in vain, for a sol
dier more skillful and accomplished.
It will be but a few days more until the
result of this new movement will be known.
Meanwhile the most intense anxiety pre
vails loth North and South. We have an
abiding confidence, however, that the great
project, whatever it is, will be successfully
accomplished, and that the hero of Atlanta
and Lis veteran troops, will again cover
tLemselves with glory-
Honorable. It is a curious fact that
Mr. Lincoln is the first citizen of the North
upon whom the honor of a re-election to the
Presidential office Las ever been conferred.
Tbe preceding two-term Presidents have
been Washington, Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe all from Virginia and Jackson of
Ten nessee.
The Election. We Lave very few offi
cial figures of tLe late Presidential election ;
and hence, defer publishing tLe few tLat
are to Land. As soon as tLe correct tables
are made up, we will give tLora a place in
eur column.
GEN. BUTLER'S PLAN.
The speech of Geu. Butler recently deliv
ered in New-York, will be found in full in
another column. It has produced a tremen
dous flutter among the '"Democrats." The
most blatant of them here have been congrat
ulating themselves upon what 'they choose
to call the adoption of thru' peace policy by
the Administration, as foreshadowed in Gen.
Butler's speech. But there is a marked dif-
! fe.ence between this personal plan of Gen.
Butler, and that proposed in the Chicago
j Platform, or hinted at in M'Clellan's letter.
Gen Butler demands no '"cessation of hos
tilities" propose- no "'policy of concilia
tion," and lias not a word to say about an
"ultimate conveutinn of the , States.'' Hi
plan differs in no wise from that already a
dopted by the Administration. He only sug
gests that we shall "once nyuia hold out to
"the deluded people of the South" the of
fer already made by President Lincoln, and
rejected by them and then, ia the event of
! fi,r.;,...c. ..l .. i .. . s. - - i
'"with sharp, quick, decisive war which
shall bring the matter to an end, and to
j "the extinguishment i.f snvli men WHKKK-
'" EVE't they may be.'' v
M'Ciellau s peace, would have been a
peace with s .peration a peace soon to end
in eternal war. Butler's peace, will be a
peace with Union a peace honorable, com-
j plete, lasting. M'Clellan's peace, would be
j on the ground that the "'war is a failure."
j Butler's peace, will be bu-ed on the sure
j foundation of its success. M'Clellan's peace
would have been negotiated on the basi of!
; our surrender. Butler's peace will involve
j the surrender of the rebels. M'C'ei'an" s
j peace would have been the impeachment of
the whole policy of the Administration.
Butler's peace will be its amplest vindidica
tiou. M'Clellan's peace would admit the a
bility of a miiioritv to Control the Co-istitu-
tionaily expressed will of the majority. But
ler's peace will silence the heri.-y forever.
M'Clellan's peace would sacrifice every great
principle of popular government for which
we have been struggling. Butler's peace
will preserve them intact, and wiii t-iammit
our Bepubliean institutions, not only unim
pared, but improved, to our children, and
to their posterity, and to the millions who
shall gather and rest beneath our starry Hag
down to ''the last syllable of recorded lime.'
The two "plan-." are radically and essen
tially different. The one was tlia natural
offspring of sympathy with treason, and has
just been rejected with loathing and scorn
by the overwhelming majority of the loyal
masses, Leeau.-e it involved a shameful and
ignominious surrender to those in arms a
gainst the government. The other is the
noble and magnanimous impulse of a loyal
and brave man, who, esteeming country a
bove party, -yea, above fortune and life,
would, in the hour of triumph, offer large
and generous terms to the ptale deluded
into armed resistance to the rightful author
ity of the Government. The one merited
the indignant condemnation it everywhere
received, while the other commends itself to
the calm and dispassionate consideration of
the Government nnd the people.
GEN. SHERIDAN.
It was a Lappy thought of President Lin
coln', in accepting the resignation of 31 e
Clellan. to fill the vancancy in the Regular
Army, by the appointment of Gen. Philip
Shkkida.v. It will be remembered that
McCIellan, in a speech made at Orange New
Jersey, before the election the speech in
which the name of Gen. (Juant was so care
fully omitted paid a very high compliment
to Sheridan, so that Lis friends will doubt
lessee satisfied tLat President Lincoln in
accepting Lis resignation, filled the vancan
cy on his own recommendation.
Nobly, indeed, has Sueuidan earned his
promotion. The victory of Cedar Creek,
snatched, as it was, from the very jaws of
defeat, stamps him one of the most skilful
generals of the age. On Lis retuwi from
Washington he heard, while still "twenty
miles away,"
'The terrible grumble and rumble ami roar,
Telling the battle was on once more 1"
Putting spurs to his horse, he dashed off
with the speed of the wind, arriving only to
find his men dispirited, broken, scattered,
flying 1
'What wasdone-what todtv-a glance told him both,
Then striking his spurs with a terrible oath,
lledaihe.I down tbe line 'mid a storm of huznas,
AnJ the wave of retreat chcked its course there
because ' .
ight of the master compelled it to pause !'
The broken and demoralized ranks rallied
to his electric call, gathered their flying col
umns hi to a solid line, turned their faces
again toward the enemy, cLarged over the
ground .yet fresh with the imprint of their
retreating foot-steps, scattered death and
destruction all around them, .turned defeat
into victory, and .sent the rebel horde once
more "whirling uto the valley." If Sher
idan Lad acLieved no otLcr victory, tLis
akne entitled Lim to Lis promotion.
General Earlj's LTack Flag.
YtASiiiNOTON, Nov. 16. Brig. Gen. Ty
ler Las forwarded to tLe Adjutant General's
office tLe black flag captured from Early's
command last August, near North Moun
tains. He says, "the flag was in charge of
two rebels, and was set up against a tree
while one of them went in search of water.
C II. Marsh, a detective, who had been
watching the flag from nightfall, determin
ed to get it, if possible. Springing upon
the man left alone, he secured him, took
the flag from the pole, and brought the flag
and Lis prisoner safely through and within
our lines,
The Only National Party.
One of the grave charges against the
friend s of Abraham Lincoln, in 1SG., says
the Tecgrntph, was that he was a sectional
candidate and a minority President, forget
ting that if he was elected at all, it was on
account of the efforts of traitors to break up
the Democratic party and divide the Union;
and that if lie received few votes in the
South, it was also because his supporters
were intimidated by tin pro-slavery mobs.
Now Abraham Lincoln is elected by a large
majority of the votes of the whole people
of the United States, excluding, of course,
the seceded States, and ly a majority of the
electoral votes of all the States, adhering
and seceding. He did not get a Southern
electoral vote in ISOit, and now he carries
Missouri, West Virginian and Maryland,
and has received an almost unanimous sup
port of Louisiana and Tennessee, where the
friends of the Uniou claim the right to wte
for Presidential electors. In Go. but fif
teen States voted for Lincoln : in ISii-l.twen-
tv-six States gave him tremendous majori
ties. In ISoO, the gentleman who ran for
Vice President on the ticket with Mr. Lin
coin was a Northern man. In 1S04 the U-
nion candidate for Vice President is a South
ern man ana a c-outnern t'cinocrat. inese
facts are eloquent, and prove the great
strength of the cause for which our armies
are fighting, and it? broad and genial na
tionality.. Lansbeny's Politics.
We observe it stated in a number of pa
pers, in their notice of the recent horrible
murder of Col. Butler, that Lansberry is a
Bepubliean. Is is said that four years ago
he voted for Mr. Lincoln. Whether he did
or not we are unable to ay, but who he ot
ed for more recently is perfectly well known
in this community. At the August elec
tion, he was brought up the back alley, and.
voted against, the Amendment to the Con
stitution allowing soldiers to vote. At the
October election, he was again brought to
the polls, guarded by seven men armed with
revolvers, to vote for Gov. Biglcr and the
balauee of the Hemocratie ticket; and, no
doubt, if the murder of Col. Butler had not
occurred in the interval, ho would have been
promptly on hand with his body-guard to
vote for M'Clellan and Pendleton.
It is al-o perfectly well known in this
community that he attended the Democrat
ic meetings held previous to the election.
He was present, circulating through the
crowd at tbe Mass Meeting held in this town
on Court-week, and was at the Pole liais
ing at Beed's. He doubtless attended oth
er meetings abo, but as to his presence at
the two mentioned there is abundance of
proof.
The fact of Lis support, perliaps, reflects
no discredit upon the candidates for whom
he voted. But there is no use in attempt
ing to create a false impression in regard to
it. and thus contribute to make its effect
wor.-e than it would otherwise be.
Spain and Chili.
Another and even more striking instance
of the Spanish lu.-t for conquests in Ameri
ca has recently come to light in Chili. A
correspondent of the jjon.lou 7 iin;.i furnish
es the following facts: There lies o.T the
coast of Chili a small Archipelago known a.s
the islands of Chiloe, among the inhabitants
of which, mostly Iudians, a person named
Antil had obtained great influence. A ru
mor having reached the Prefect that a con
spiracy was on foot among the natives, Antil
was arrested on suspicion, and in his pos.-es-:io!)
were fbnnd various documents showing
him to be the head of an organization hav
ing for its object to declare in favor of Spain,
and to deliver up to that country as much of
Chilian territory as possible. Antil, it ap
pears, had visited all the islands of the
Archipelago, the province of Valdivia. and
the Araucanian territory, and had induced
thousands of natives to become accomplices
iu his scheme. Fortunately the conspiracy
was discovered before any serious disturb
ance had taken place.
The Columbia County Conspirators.
The finding and orders of the Military
Commission at Harrisburg, to try the Co
la tubia County, Penu'a, conspirators, have
been published. John llantz is found guil
ty of combining with otLer .persons to resi st
tlie draft by armed organization against tbe
military authority, and advising citizens not
to pay bounties, but to save their money to
buy arms and ammunition. The sentence
which has been approved, is that he be im
prisoned at Fort Mitfiin for two years, and
pay $1,000. Samuel Kline was found guil
ty of the same offence, and of threatening
to shoot the Deputy-Provost Marshall of
Blootusburg, and is also, but without fine,
sentenced to Fort Mifilin for two years,
Wiiliani Appleman, accused of a milder form
of treason, he not having threatened vio
lence or counseled arming, is consigned to
Fort Mifflin until he pays $000 fine, his im
prisonment not, however, to exceed one
year. The trial of the other conspirators
is to be commenced soon.

MAJ.-GEN. BUTLEE'3 SPEECH.
A grand reception was given to Gen.
Butler at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. b New
York, on Monday evening, November 14th.
Hon. J. Wadsworthon behalf of the assem
bled guests expressed their gratification at
seeing Gen. Butler, and on their behalf re
quested from him some expression of his
.... iuuj k'i. uic j.ii vivi.iisjij
and prospeet of the war. Geu. Butler then
t-aid-
' Mr. Wadsworth, Ladies and Gentle-
MEN : The citizens of'N-w York Lave done
me honor overmuch, your kindness, exhavts-
ting every form known to Christian courte
sy, overwhelms me ; that I should be able to
add anything to the sum of intelligence, isa
still greater honor. That I entertain very
distinct views upon the subjects just advert
ed to, is most true. Peace hath her victo
ries no less renowned than war, and of all j
the peaceful vietoiies ever achieved in (he
interests of human freedom, that achieved
in the, peaceful quiet that almost brooded o
ver this land on the 8th of November was
the greatest.
Before we proceed lor a moment to look
at the material results, let us look at the
moral. It has taught to all the world who
shall look on. and it is not now a vain boast
to be raid of America that the eyes of ail
the world are upon us, that wo are abio in
the stress and strain of a civil war iike that
never seen before, to carry on our institu
tions in peaceful quiet : that we can change
or re-elect our rulers- as we wei"h them in
trie balance and find them either meritorious
or wanting, without so much of trouble or
disorder or riot or commotion as attends a
constable's election in a parish in Finland.
The moral, then, is that a Government
embalmed in the hearts of the people, de
pendent on the inteiliL'enee of the people,
is the strongest govern men ton earth strong
in the affections, stronger still in the right
arms of tbe people. And when we have
heretofore been told that it was necessary
there should be cither monarchy or despot
ism to wield bayonets, we see the bi'Voiiets
wielded bv hundi'ods of thousands
wiiere
other countries have not been able to wield
ti em by tons, and these entirely subservient
to the people's will.
imiiviiai ivstois aj ' IJVH iCSS sllij
first in the fact that ;dl disputed quest
which have divided-the eountrv are

settled by an almost unanimous verdict of
the people. Does any one complain that in
the conduct of military operations there
should be the arrest of a traitor, that ques
tion has. been argued and settled and the
verdict is '"guilty and arrest him when he
is guilty ' cheers. J does any one complain
that, the true theory of the Constitution has
been carried out which enrolls all able bodi
ed men to tight in defense of the country's
life and liberties, that question has been set
tled and hc realb-r it will be more honora
ble to be drafted than to volunteer.
Does any one complain that the Govern
ment in its wis d Jin has organized t root is
irrespective of color, and believes that the
black man would fill as much of a grave as
if his eolor were whiter, when he falls in
battle in defense of his countrv's liberties
that question has been settled, and has pas
sed away forever to be among tlie things
that are past. Does any one now claim, as
was claimed in iStjo. that Abraham Lin
coln is President of a minoritv that ouos-
tion is settled by tin overwhelming majority.

n moment at the fact, that if we count every
llebel against him if we count everv itebe-i

count every untrue, di-loval man against
inn yet he is elected bv a maioritv second

the land in a season of financial peril.
The

loveninientin the present and future' 'ihe
war cannot last always. The history of na
tions and the experience of the world has
shown us this. War, therefore, nuist i-ome
to an end; but Low? In what way? A war
of this kind is to be prosecuted for the pur
pose of breaking down the power of tlio.
opposed to the .;overiiment and bringing
them into its folds and under the supivniaey
of its laws.
In view therefore' of the unanimity of the
American people, in view ot the" strength,
the majestj-, the might of the nation, might
it not be suggested that now is a good time
once again to hold out to the deluded peo
ple of thecoma the olive branch of peace
and say to them '"eOine back, come back
now, this is the last time of asking, come
back and leave off the feeding on husks and
coine with us to iced upon the fat of the
land, and bygones shall be bygones if by
gones are bygones our country shall live
in peace hereafter." Cheers. J Are we not
able to offer them that, are we not strong c
nougli. do we not stand with I'nion cuoulL
to be able to offer that to the leaders and to
a'l
There miyht have been some complaint,
I think, among a proud and chivalrous peo
ple, that they would not desert their leaders
in answer to the amnesty proclamation of
i're-ident Lincoln ; but now, as we come to
them and say '"come back and you shall
find the laws the same save and exeept as
they are altered by the legislative wbdom of
the land,'' are we not in a condition not tak
ing counsel of our fears or weaknesses, but
from our strength and magnanimity,"" again
to make the offer, and tluTlast time to call
on them, and then shall we not have ex
hausted all the resources of statesmanship
in the effort to restore peace to the country;
and who shall hinder this, and if they do
not conic back who shall complain?
I ask not for the llebel to come back af
ter he has fought as long as he can and then
chooses to come back, but state Some time
perhaps the Sth of January, ISi",., for
tLe association will be as good as any and
wben tLat time sliall Lave come, every man
wlio sLall scout tlie proffered amnesty of a
great and powerful nation, speaking in love,
in kindness, in charity, in Lope of peace
aud quiet forever, then I say to him who
then scouts the proffered love and kindness,
'det us meet him with sharp, quick, deci
sive war, which shall bring the matter to
an end and to the extinguishment of such
men wherever tliey may be." And Low is
tLat to be done?
Blood and treasure have been poured out
without stint and without measure until tak
ing advautage of the depletion of treasure
bad men have banded together bv specla
ting in that which should be the circulating
medium, and have raised upon every poor
man the price of tho coals upon his hearth
and the bread upon Lis table. Let some
measure be taken to stop that, and a better
measure than any other is to let it be under
stood that hereafter we pay no more l.oun
ties from the taxes of the North, tut tskimr
counsel from the old Boman method of'car-
i rymgon war, to say to our young men, "look

Shabby Treatment.
It was obvious, during th.j recent canvass,
that tlie support yielded to ?.fcC!elian. by
the "peace-wiiig' of theopposiiion.was any
thing but hearty and cordia'. He was a bit
