Tlie Result.
Although the returns come in slowly, it
is now conceded Pennsylvania has gone
Union by five thousand majority, .which
will be increased to twenty thousand by
tho soldiers' vote. We have certainly
gained three Congressmen, and the sol
diers' vote ye think will make it five.
The following will probably be the com
plexion cf the next House :
I Samuel J. Randall, Dem.
II Charles O'Kiell, Union-
III Leonard Myers, Union.
IV Win. D. Kelley, Union.
V M. Russell Thayer, Union.
VI B. M. Boyer, Dera.

RECAPITULATION.
Union....... "'V1?-
Democrats
In the Fifth and Sixteenth districts
there is some doubt. The previous ma
jorities, however, were decidedly for tho
Union ticket. The presont House is a tie
12 to 12.
Besides this, we have a clear majority
in both houses of the Legislature on' the
heme, vote. So that, if the Copperheads
take it into their heads to become the
direct cause of the incarceration of another
Union State Senator like Harry White in
a rebel bastile, it will work not nearly bo
much to the disadvantage of the State
and the people as it did last winter.
Pennsylvania has covered herself with
glory. And what will we say of Ohio!
This noble old State-ha gone Uniou by
35,000 majority, which will be increased
to 80,000 or 90,000 by th soldiers' vote.
Out of nineteen Congressmen,, she ha
elected soveuteen Union.' The present
lloue if fourteen Democrats to ve Union.
Her State Legislature is overwhelmingly
Union.
Indians, too ! Governor Morton, Union,
is re-elected by a tremendous majority
from ten to twenty thousand. We gain
one Congressman and probably three oth
ers. The Legislature's Union.'
All this means simply that -Abraham
Lincoln is to be our next President? The
verdict of these three great States settles
the question. The people have spoken in
thunder tones, and the burden ot their
cry is that the rebellion must be put down.
Thank God! that the heart of the people
beats true to the music of the . Union.
Thank God ! that the sacrifices of the 'past
three years will not have been in' vain.
We will triumph in November. But
in order to that end, a thorough reorgan
ization of our forces becomes necessary.
We will carry the State by fifty thousand
majority, but we must work in order to
achieve that result. With the proper ef
fort, we are confident that here in Cam
bria county we can cut down the opposi
tion vote at least two hundred, and increase
our own in a corresponding ratio. Union
men of Cambria ! remember that four
years ago, despite the numberless difficul
ties against which you had to contend,
you gave Abraham Lincoln four hundred
and one majority over the opposition nom
inees. Remember this fact, and then de
termine to emulate your former deeds of
greatness and glory. What you did
before you can do now, if you only try.
To work, then; to work! Lose not a
moment by delay !
Seizb the prompt occasion make the thought
Start into instant action, and at once

Deducting Johnston's majority on the

soldiers vote ia all in, the latter's majority
will be 300 to 400.
Tuesday : Advices received at this
office to-day indicate that Barker h 500
ahead of Johnston on' the soldiers' vote in

Br reference to the table of election
returns for Cambria county, it will be
seen that, whereas Johnston, opposition
candidate for Congress, runs eight votes
behind the average majority of his party,
and tiz votes ahead of the average strength
of hi party, Barker, Union, runs seven
teen votes ahead of the. next hightest can
didate on his ticket, and twenty-four votes
ahead of the average strength of his party.
This flatteriDg state of affairs is undoubt
edly due to the efforts of the Dem. & Sent.
and the Johnstown Democrat, which pa
pers, by stigmati2ing Barker as a "Maine
Yankee," a "bine-bellied Abolitionist,"
an "ignorant old' clown' and all that,
repossessed the masses ot the people in
his jvor, and made them 4iis friend to
the extent pf their suffrages. It would
be policy in Uuloa men to contribute to
the support of these journals, for, so long
as they exist will' they lie and slander
as heretofore, and their lying and slan
dering cannot but redound to the great
benefit of the Union party.
The Return Judges of this county will
re-assemble in Ebensburg on next Friday
week, 28th inst., at which time and place
the soldiers' vote will-be counted, and
placed to the credit of the respective can
didates for which it is cast. The official
majorities ia the county cannot therefore
be determined until then.

Address or the Union State Cen
tral Committee.
VICTORY I ' VICTORY ! VICTORY I
The returns of the late election, now in
the possession of this committee, enable it
to announce that Pennsylvania has deci
ded against ail armistices, and attempts at
peace, uDtil rebellion is brokenand trea
son disarmed.' Tru6 to her pad t history,
the Keystone State arrays herself by the
side of Ohio and . Indiana, and proclaims
to the world her confidence in an Admin
istration true to the Union of the States,
and her intention to sustain that Admin
istration ' in power until the Union is re
stored. - '
The Union party have carried the State,
gained three members of Congress, and
elected a majority of both houses of the
Legislature, on the home vote, and the
soldiers' vote as far as received indicates
the gain of two more members of Con
gress, and a clear Union majority of fif
teen thousand votes. This -is a most
gratifying result, and should fill the heart
of every loyal man with joy. Its impor
tance cannot be overestimated in view of
the fact that, some seventeen thousand
Boldfers who came home last year and
voted for Gov. Curtin are now absent with
the army, and are yet to be heard from.
Besides, it i? computed that, under the
last eall of the President, and within the
past few months, twenty-three thousand
ot our citizens have gone forth to the
field. These men are scattered over the
whole country, and owiDg to the active
operations now in progress, it has been
impossible for the commissioners appointed
for that purpose to obtain all their votes
Thousands and thousands of votes have
thus been lost to the Union party, which
party can only be depended on to feed the
aimy with nhting material-.
Under thess circumstances, the com
mittee regard the victory achieved as a
grand triumph, and congiatulate the coun
try upou iti The re-election ot Mr. liiu
cola is certain. In November, the State
will give a greatly increased majority.
There will be but two tickets, and-party
lines will bo more distinctly drawn. No
loeal jealousies or differences will divide
our friends, and, united on the great issue
Pennsylvania will poll a vote for Lincoln
and Johnson which will prove that she is
second to none of her sister States in de
votion to the Federal Government.
SIMON CAMERON,
- Chairman Union State Central Com.
Sequel to J. D.'s Confessions
General Cooper, Inspector General o:
rebel army, has supplied a very appropri
ate supplement to Jeff. Davi. Macon
speech. . It is iu the shape of an order to
the effect that every one liable to the reoc
cohscriptiou heretofore exempted, must
report at once for duty in the field. Opjy
those mechanics employed in government
workshops axe excepted from the general
dralt. kick and physically disabled per
sons must, in all cases, report themselves
at the camp of instruction, and if, after
undergoing a certain amount of drill, they
prove unfit for military duty, may get off.
General Cooper's order, however, must be
obeyed. Ve couirueod it3 study as
practical commentary on Jeff Davis' confes
sion that two-thirds 01 his army have
deserted him, and as a confirmation of
General Grant's averment that the con
spirators arc bound to rob "the cradle and
the grave.
The Kichmond Enquirer, in publishing
this order, takes occasion to commend it.
wisdom, evidently contemplating satisfac
tory, results from having the "physically
disabled" sent to the front. Thearrange
ment. is-doubtless made with a view to
desertions. A battalion or two of cripples
can probably be depended on not to run
away, at least. Jeff. Davis throws himself
on the matrons, widows and maidens of
Georgia. Gen. Cooper, who is the ranking
officer in the Confederate army, rushes
with his Provost Marshals to, the hospitals,
to see if his quotas cannot be made up
from that source. JJut the liichmond
Enquirer, while" approving of what both
these officials have done, expresses the
opinion that something more may now be
needed to prevent a collapse of the Con
federacy. The Enquirer, in short, calls
lustily for a general arming of near o slaves.
"The President' it says, "has announ
ced the startling fact, that two-thirds of
the army are absent without leave. At
present all are needed, and all must come
forward. Those that delay or shirJe will
be hunted down and permanently sent to the
army. He should be glad to see the
Confederate Congress provide for the
purchase of two hundred and fifty thou
sand negroes, present them with their
freedom .and the privilege of remaining
in the States, and arm, equip, drill and
fight them." Slavery, tho Enquirer
concludes, must "not be permitted to
stand in the way of the success of our
cause." " Other Slates may decide for
themselves, but Virginia, after exhausting
her whites, will fijht her blacks through to
the last man.
These bo brave words, no doubt: but
there are one or two reflections which
they suggest, not altogether of a consola
tory kind looking from the. Enquirer s
stand point. If two-thirds of the Confed
erate armies all white men have already
run away from Davis and his man Cooper,
and are now hiding in the mountain re
gions of Georgia and elsewhere, what pro
portion of the black levies can be expected
to stand to their colors 1 Has the chiv
alry thus degenerated that two-thirds of
them absolutely refuse to fight for their
own independence t Davis assured Col.
Jacques, a few weeks ago, that two mil
lions of his black slaves had been eman
cipated by the advance of the United
States armies. At that rate ot emancipa
tion, is it not likely that the negroes may
prefer to win their freedom at a cheaper
rate than the Enquirer proposes? These
are points wnicn we , presume Uavis
and Cooper have reflected on with some
care, betore tney - Degan this ordering
"physically disordered" men to the front.
or of screeching for help ot the women
and children.
B?i,When General M'Clellan was in
command of the armies of the United
States, ho wrote certain instructions to
Gen. ' Buell, then commanding in Ken
tucky; in which he (Gen. M'Clellan) said:
"I know that 1 express the leelings and
opinions of the President, when I say that
we are fighting only to preserve the
integrity of the Union and the constitu
tional authority of the General Govern
ment."' . -
Yet General M'Clellan intimates,' and
his supporters never weary of asserting.
that thig is a "wicked Abolition war,"
wrong in its origin and infamous ia its
course. Which is which !
. The Charleston Mercury said : "If
we hold our own and prevent further
military successes on the part of our foes,
there is every prospect that M Clellan
will "be elected, and his election upon the
Chicago platform must leatd to peace and
our independence." v ... ' . . ;
Death of Chief-Justice Taney.
Rodger Brooke Taney, Chief-Justice of
the Supreme Court cf the United States,
died in Washington, on Wednesday even
ing, Oct. 12, after au illness of a lew days.
Descended f.rom a family of English lio
mau Catholics, which settled in 31arybnd
about the middle of the seventeenth cen
tury, he was born in Calvert county, Md.,
March 17, 1777, and was consequently iu
his eighty-eighth year at the time ot his
death. He was graduated at Dickinson
College, Carlisle, Pa., in 1795, admitted
in 17i)9 to the bar of his native county,
from which he was elected a delegate to
the General Assembly, and in ,1801
removed his place of residence to Freder
ick. In 1822 he removed to Baltimore,
having previously served as Senator in the
Legislature of the State during a term of
four years. . He was appointed Attorney
General of Maryland in 1827, and in 1831
was appointed Attorney General of the
Unked States by President Jackson. Du
ring the contest of the Administration
with the Bank of the United States, upon
the dismissal of Mr. Duane from the office
of Secretary of Treasury, Sept. 23, 1833,
on account of his refusal to remove the
deposits, Mr. Taney was appointed his
successor, and immediately ordered the
transfer of the deposits to the local banks
selected by him as the agents of the Gov
ernment. The Senate refused to confirm
the nomination by a vote of 28 to 18, in
June, 1834. In the following year, he
was nominated by President Jackson as
an associate justice of the Supreme Court, j
but he was virtually rejected by the Sen
ate, which indefinitely postponed the con
sideration of the subject on the last day
of the term. Upon the death of Chief
Justice Marshall, he was appointed his
successor by President Jackson, and was
confirmed by the Senate in March, 183G,
that body having changed its political
relations. He took his seat upon the
Supreme bench in January, 1S37, and
held the office until the time of his death.
Chief-Justice Taney gained an unenviable
notoriety by his famous decision in the
Dred Scott case, ruling that "negroes,
whether slaves or free, were regarded for
a long time previous to the Declaration of
Independence as beings of an inferior
order, with no right." which the white
man was bound to respect,' and therefore
were not included among tha "people"
in the terms of that instrument, and had
no claims to Dc renarau as citizens 01 me
United States.. , .

Mr. Pendleton cannot feel flattered by
the treatment he receives from the Demo
cratic press of the east. They rarely or
never mention his name. They do not
expatiate upon his merits. We really
think that they have not said so much as
the ltepublican leaders in commendation
of his personal qualities. Ihey do not
dwell at all upou his political views.
When openly challenged, they decline to
commend or explain his record. They
keep a stubborn silence in respect to him,
00 a 4 my 1 vr enm nf ltrtnd m raa n oAn -v f
whom the parents and brothers and sisters
are ashamed. They seem to think that if
they say nothing about Pendleton and the
Chicago platform, they can keep both him
and it out of sisrht. We hope ihat Mr.
Pendleton enjoys this position which he
occupies.
But the people will not forget who he
is or for what office he is running. They
will not forget that they cannot vote for
M'Clellan without voting for him. They
will not forget that Mdellau has no
immunity from the ordinary mortal lot of
man, though the extravagant and fuisome
praises of him by some of his adorers
indicate that these regard him as a dcuii-

death of Taylor are fresh in the memory
of us all. In casting our votes wo are
bound to consider the contingency of the
death of the first candidate 00 the ticket
and tho accession of the second in his
place. If a man is disposed to vote for
M Clellan. he is boucd to ask himself
whether he can conscientiously do it,
when by that act he tries to place an
avowed peace man within one step of
the Presidential chair. He must remem
ber that Pendleton has declared that if
the Southern States wished to go, they
should be allowed to depart, and we should
dismiss them with tender tokens of love.
He must reflect upon the consequences of
having such a man at the head of our
Government during the critical period
which is before us. The Democratic trick
of keeping still about Pendleton in the
hope chat his offensive doctrines will be
overlooked, will not succeed.
E-"If," eaid'Hon" J. L. M. Curry,
rebel Senator from Alabama, in a late
speech, "the party pledged to give the
Confederates justice and restore peace to
our bleeding country, shall elect their
man, such a shout as was never heard
before would spread over our afflicted
South; our independence would be forever
established. .But should Lincoln be re
elected, our hopes will be dashed to the
ground our independence but a thing to
be dreamed of.
B.The Indianapolis Sentinel confesses
that its party has in view the recognition
t the licbel Confederacy. In tho event
of M'CIellan's election,. it says: .
"llis programme will be a cessation of
hostilities, and attempt to restore the
Union by compromise and reconciliation,
or failing in that, taking , the . last extreme
recognition.
