The election of Abraham Lincoln may be termed the great hin:e upon -which depended the destinies of the Republic. That event cannot but result in the over throw of the rebellion against the Nation al authority, and the establishment of peace upon an enduring basis between the contending elements. - Why ? Sim ply because the rebels will see in the pop ular verdict lately rendered at the polls unmistakable and overwhelming evidence that the war must go on un.til it culmi nates in the downfall of treason. In a trial of strength of endurance, the rebels well know and everybody of common dis cernment, knovfs that in the end they are ure to be overcome. Hence, finding us resolved to fight on and fight ever, they will see the utter folly of prolonging a contest which must prove hopeless, and will retire from the field. Some of their leaders may not acknowledge the force of thi3 argument, and to cave their own necks from the halter may try to keep up the struggle against the fearful odds agaiust them ; but the considerate portion of them, the masses, will acknowledge the impracticability of such a course, and hasten to cast about them for a path lead ing back to the old Union. The election of Lincoln defeats the treasonable schemes of Northern traitors. With M'Clellan as President, the admin istration of the government woutd have been placed in the hands of such men as Vallandigham, Seymour, Fernando Wood the Benedict Arnolds and Aaron Rurrs of the present day. The sole hope by day and prayer by night of these is South ern independence and Northern anarchy. Their secret plans and machinations to that end extended even to the inaugura tion of civil war with all its attendant horrors throughout the entire North. Our streets deluged in blood, our cities and towns burned and sacked, and the whole North converted into ac unproduc tive waste these formed part of the pro gramme of these Northern traitors io the interest of the South. Thank Heav en ! their infernal schemes against God and the Government were discovered in season to be nipped in the hud, and the triurrphant election of Abraham Lincoln places the seal of eternal condemnation on the foreheads of these miscreants. The re-election of Lincoln gives the .fiuishing death blow to slavery on the American continent. Slavery, once dead in the whole United States, dies out in the "Western hemisphere. M'Clellan stood pledged to the restoration of slavery; Lincoln, to its final destruction. The people have decided the question. The next House will be sufficiently strong to give a two-thirds vote in favor of tbe total and final abolition of slavery in the Union, by an alteration of the Constitution to that effect. Lincoln will approve Euch an act of Congress M'Clellan, had , ho been elected, would have vetoed it. Lincoln's re-election is a direct indorse ment at the Dallot-box,"by a great majority of the American people, of the war meas ures of the National Administration prominent among which stands the Eman cipation Proclamation. For four 'ycar3, Mr. Lincoln and his administration have been on trial, and during that time have had to pass through greater trials and difficulties, and more fierce and ficry ordeals, than ever fell to the lot of any preceding administration. "lie has had to contend with Southern rebels in front, and Northern traitors in the roar. Every kind of etrategy that wicked men or devils could invent, has been brought to bear against him and the Government ashy him administered. The great trial came on the 8th day of November, and Abraham Lincoln, like the three worthies of sacred history, came out of the furnace with not so much as the "ctaell of fire upon his garments.'" .The defeat of M'Clellan fettles the question that we are hereafter to have a tcJiole country, without a single star ex punged from tho old flag. His election involved a permanent division of the "Republic, by the rectguitioT) of Southern independence. This vas the "peace plank in their platform, but this plank, with the whole treasonable structure, by the 6ucce?s of Lincoln and Johnson, has "gone to smash." 9 The union oj the States has been preserved, and the question whether we are hereafter to have a whole country, or be divided off into revolution ary fragments, a prey to military adventu rers, and unprincipled despots, is no longer open to argument. It has culminated in a finality. In Lincoln's re-election is found the solution of tho greatest problem that ever agitated the public mind, to wit, whether the American people are prepared to main tain self-government, based upon the inalienable rights of man. History records no instance where a Republic made up of states and municipalities, becoming divi ded, maintained a democratic form of government any great length of time after a successful secession or revolution. Such a country almost necessarily becomes a prey to military despots, and in the end is sure to be overshadowed by an absolute monarchy. The only safety to Republics is in maintaining intact the Constitution and the enforcement of the laws. The solution of the question just alluded to involves another no less vital to the life of republican institutions. We mean the great principle that underlies all democrat ic governments, that the majority must rule. Minorities have a great many rights, but to set up their authority against a regular majority, is not in the bill. This wicked rebellion was inaugurated by a minority against the majority. To submit to such a monstrous usurpation is -an end of all. government, hence the efforts ot the Ad ministration to put it down. The people, after testing this principle in a bloody 6tvuggle of four years duration, have again decided at the ballot-box that the majority shall rule. The re-election of Lincoln is notice to the rebels that this great princi ple shall be held sacred, and that all who place themselves iu armed antagonism to it dball be crushed out. The success of Lincoln, and the conse quent defeat of M'Clellan, is a direct victory over Jeff. Davis and his bloody cohorts iu the field, and they so understand it. And it is not only a victory over the confederate armies, but a victory for our own brave, heroic boys in the field, and they view it in that light. An overwhel ming majority of our 6oldiers in the field have declared that voting for Lincoln was voting as they fought, and that voting for M'Clellan was fighting one way and voting directly the other. Such is their idea ot the matter, and no man can successfully controvert tha point. We close, as we commenced, by declaring our honest opin ion, that tbe re-election of Abraham Lincoln is the death blow of the rebellion, and we most cheerfully submit our humble judgment in the premises to the scrutiny and test of coming vents. Resignation of M'Clellan, and Promotion of Sheridan. Tho mooted question as to whether Maj.-Gen. George Rrinton M'Clellan has or has not resigned his commission in the United States army is at length definite ly determined. We are happy to say it is determined in the affirmative ; and so we have an end of the greatest military humbug of this or any other age. The order. of the President accepting the res ignation is as follows : War Department, Adjctast-General's Office, Washington, Nov. 14, 18G4. Gener al Order JVo. 282 : I. That the resignation of George B. M'Clellan, as Major General in the United States Army, dated November 8, and received by the Adjutant General oii the J Oth irst.,be accepted as of the 8th of No vember. II. That for tlie personal gallantry, milita ry skill, and just confidence in the courage and patriotism of his troops displayed by rhilip H.

Sheridan is appointed Major General in the United States Army, to rank as such from the 8th day of November, 1864. By order of the President of the United States. E. D.

The Harrisburg Telegraph gives the following, whichj it says, may be regarded as the official vote of Pennsylvania, for Congressional representatives, at the Oc tober election. In compiling this vote, it had to be governed by the returns as made by the different Prothonotaries, and as the majority of these officials made no dis tinction in what was called the "home" and the "soldiers' vote," the aggregate of both votes only are given in the tabular statement below. In order to get the "home" and the "soldiers' vote," circulars have been issued from the State Depart ment, requesting the different Prothono taries to furnish statements of the polls in the camps containing Pennsylvania Eoldiers and in the different election districts throughout the State.

The demon scratched his ear, And answered, in a tone quite civil, "The names of those elected by The Devil." "And is mine one?" quoth Mikel. "Not just yet," Replied the demon. Mikel Bpake with pet, As though debased in sight of self and men, "Write me a sunna vabitch and slanderer, then." The demon wrote and mizzled. Tbe next night He came again this time with book all right And showed the names loved of Tbe Devil . most, And lo I Tub. Has3on's name led all the host. Owing to the fact that in the late elections the Union party came out victori ous, coupled with the fact that said Union party, is principally composed of bitter and malevolent spirits, who would not hesitate (they having the power) to annoy and injure, and even to immure in a bas tile, beyond the possibility, or at least the probability, of earthly aid for a long time to come, their political opponents, Mr. James F. Campbell, editor of the Johns town Democrat a very Democratic print he not courting "martyrdom," has con cluded to suspend for an indefinite period the publication of that paper. The office is offered for sale ; so that, anybody who does court "martyrdom" has an opportu nity which may not present itslf again in a lifetime to bo accommodated in that particular. SA horrible railroad accident occur red at Harrisburg on Friday night Jast, resulting in the death of U. J. Jones, Esq., of that city. The Baltimore accom modation train is run into the city ahead of the locomotive, which is attached to the rear car. On the evening before men tioned, when the train reached the depot, the body of Mr. Jones was found beneath the "cow-catcher," rolled up in an almost shapeless mass, terribly crushed, and al most beyond recognition. It is supposed that he was upon the track when the train came in, and that the entire train passed over him. The ash-box of the locomotive must have killed him, as it was impossi ble for it to have passed over the body without crushiug it. The body could not be removed until the cow-catcher had been taken off the locomotive. Mr. Jones was a newspaper man, and well known in the interior of . the State. lie possessed considerable ability as a writer, and was tho author of a. number of books which attained a large circulation. Prominent among these was his "History of the Ju niata Valley." He leaves a family; , '.

In our joy over the re-election of Abra ham Lincoln as President, and the election of a Congress in which three-fourths of tbe members of each House will vote for the abolition of Slavery, we are apt to under estimate our gains in the State Govern ments. A cursory glance at them will show that they are no less sweeping and no less important. '' We have a majority in each House of every Legislature of the original free States, with the sole exception of the Senate of New Jersey. . Tho Senate of Indiana had, until recently, a Democratic majority of one, but the recent disclosures of the treasonable plots of the "Sons of Liberty," to which we are indebted for a gain of so many thousand votes at the late elections, have also carried over to our side one of the Senators, thus giving us a majority. We control, besides, both Houses of the Legislatures of Nevada, West Vir ginia, Missouri, Louisiana, and Arkansas. In Maryland the Democrats have a major ity of one in the Senate, but we have a large majority on joint ballot. This gives us control of twenty-Jive Legislatures. If Congress should vote for an amend ment to the Constitution abolishing Sla very, such amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of the State Legislatures or of State Conventions, as Congress may propose. In case the Rebellion, by the time of the adoption of the amendment, should notyet be completely subdued, Con gress will have to decide whether a three fourths majority of all the States or only of the States actually in the Union shall be required. Even in the former case, it will be seen from our above statement, we are now very near having the required three-fourths majority. The political complexion of the next Legislature to be chosen in Tennessee, will, without doubt, be anti-Slavery, and the same will bo the case with the first Legislatures of the new States, Colorado and Nevada. These three States will give us 29 Legislatures out of 38, the number requisite. We need no longer fear any factious opposition from the State Executives. The Governors of all the twenty-nine States which we have just etumerated, are loyal and anti-Slavery men, with the exception only of the Governors of New Jersey and Kentucky. Rebel sympathizers in Eng land will have no longer a Governor Seymour to whom they can look for the inauguration of civil war in the North. There is now the greatest harmony between the National Government ani the State Governments one omen more for the speedy suppression of the Rebellion. . m m m About Tbe Cabinet. We have reason to believe that the re ports ot immediate changes in the present Cabinet, and concerning the composition of the new one, are purely speculative. Ibe rumored succession of Ir. Walker to the Treasury Department no doubt rests upon something better; but as to the rest, we are convinced there is no other foundation than guess-work, and the wishes of some friends of the gentlemen whose names are used. Mr. Lincoln has a way of keeping his plantto-himself, and doing things very much in his own way. While we may safely say he will from the 4th of March next have a new Cabinet throughout, it will be composed not who!y of men new to him, but of those of whom he has some practical knowledge in connection with the grave concerns that will engage their attention. Probably no man has learned more du ring the last three and three-quarter years than Mr. Lincoln. Probably no man has realized more fully the mistakes he com mitted in making up his Cabinet; and with his almost unerring good sense he will be likely to avoid making those mistakes a second time. Fortunately for him, he is under no peculiar obligations either to particular regions of country or classes of men ; but in this respect i3 free to look for ability wherever he can find it in harmony with the policy the election has settled. Popular favorites do not always make good cabinet ministers ; on the contrary, it is not difficult to see how they might sometimes provvery poor ones. Discord, whether from personal ambition, imprac ticable cast of mind, or other cause, is to be avoided above all things next to down right incapacity. Great executive ability is not untrcquently allied with qualities destructive of usefulnesss, and fondness for power and leadership is quite likely to be backed by inordinate personal ambi tion. Of these things Mr. Lincoln, whose experience has taught him tho valuo of harmony, will be quite sure to do his best to steer clear. We have no idea that he has made up his mind as to more than one M his future cabinet. He goes slow andsure, aud is not prone to communi cate the progress he makes in his own mind. In the meantime, the speculations with which the public is regaled are pleasant reading. It is a sort of commodity for which there is a 3harp demand, and there are enough whose business it is to furnish more than tho requisite supply. , Ebensbveq and Cbesson Railhoad.
