While the result of the election of last
week has given new evidence of the pow
er of tho Union party —reinforced as it ;
is by thousands of loyal Democrats, who
arc unwilling to have t cast up to their j
children, in years to come,that their fath
t:» v" o Copperheads—it has also demon
strated the fact that we have not had that
thorough organization everywhere, that
was to be desired. What we have now I
to do, is togo to work at once to com
plete a thorough organization in every
'Election district—such an organization as
will insure a full vote at tho November j
election ; by this means our majority ou ;
the home vote can easily he run up to j
2110; (his may be augmented by the ar- j
my v >te to 800 or 900. Let no time b»
wasted, •' Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty."
JBt'-j" The Herald of Saturday publish
ed w:.>t it represents as a card from a
Republican, who. disgusted with the pro
duction of Mr. .Nixon's speech iu our pa
cer, has deteriniuod to patronize the Iler
»id. That's ati old dodge of the Her
ald. Last spring a similar maneuver >
turough.iotaud to effect the At
icau. We undertook then to say that
was a weak trick of Mr. Wilsou,
could he have avoided the suspicion, he
would have douo so. Mr. Nixon had
E#rved his country faithfully for three
years ;;u. i ree mouths, wo thought it our
duty t .e in have an opportunity of
'king i...- ild friends through the
r„d>uui u:. paper. If it is msive
to ny, we cannot help it; at any rate,
tlj man who could be offended by such a
speech as the one referred to,and can turn
with satisfaction to ihe speech of Valluu
dyham, as published iu the Ilcralil, is
( jus.. »uch an individual as should patron
ize that, paptir, but we call for the uauie.
in the rneau time, we would remind
the liuitor of the Herald, that there is
.twosides to this matter—were we dispos
-ed, we are uot confined to one name which
has beeu trausferteu from his list to that
of the CiTizi-.v, uot because of bad taste
displayed, in selections so much, as be
cause of the downright duluyalty of the
.editorial columns of"that paper.
1 The Ilerahl m>n in his issue of
Saturday, undertakes to read us a second
lecture about Major M'Laughlin. We
have neither time nor space to follow
the subject farther at present than sim
j ply to state, that we do not complain of
I the Major because he will not support
; Mr. Lincoln, as a Republican ; but be
' cause we hold Mr. Lincoln to be the per
sonification of organized loyalty —this is
the view taken by thousands of Pemo
; erats all over the country — to whom we
owe much for the great Union victories
we have achieved over the rltslngedorgani
zation to whose fortunes the Major has
attached himself, (it was in recognition
of this fact too, that Andrew Johnson was
pat on the ticket) and in saying this, we
j don't wish to be understood, as holding
! all who vote the Copperhead ticket arc
j perse disloyal, but we do say that for all
j practical purposes they might as well be,
! the vote of that party will be claimed as
tho strength Davis & Co., in the north
!by all intelligent neutrals. Perhaps the
| Major can explain this all away, but there
■ i-i one thing we think, which will be more
' difficult iO explain, that is> why he pro
j fessed to be a Lincoln man iu Washing
! ton, and a M'Clellan nun here.
The Election \ews.
BUTLKR COt'NTV.
j The result of the election in this cottn
j ty, is quite gratifying to the friends of the
1 and tho Union. Ever
| since the commencement of the present
war, as the annual election came round.
! it has always been found difficult to get
our friends throughout the county, to be
lieve that it was even possible for us to I
carry the county, without the vote of
the soldiers. In response to every call, I
our party has dmo t! three-fourths of!
the volunteer! ■•—to speak with modera- j
tion—it wast that discouraged our i
friends, as to lity to retain the :
control of tli *• and it is with sur- j
prise that we i'ten been asked, how
is it that wc arc still able to nnuier up a
majority of the home vote ? The answer
is easy—there are loyal men in the Demo
cratic party —men who cannot bear to sit j
in political council with men who arc con-1
tinually i' using their Government, and
building ..ieir hope of political ascenden
cy upon the destruotion of our armies!
many of them have sons in those armies,
eonieof whom have laid down their lives
in defense of this Union—their fathers
are unwilling to see a party gain power. |
that, is willing to divide this country! |
and this fellow citizens is the reason why |
we are able to withstand every fresh surge I
of Coppcrheadism. All praise then to !
those genuine patriots who have thus se
vered themselves from their party, for the
patriotic purpose of saving their country
from destruction.
Mr. Williams, our Congressional can
didate, has forty-two majority on the home
voto, and the whole ticket iselcctcd. The
Soldier's vote will be received and coun
ted on next Friday week, being the 28th
inst, which will run up our majority con
siderably, although the military situation
wiil prevent many of them from voting.
When th s vote is received and made pub
lic, we will give our readers a full account
of the entire vote in tabular form.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The vote of the State as reported, is
still incomplete ; it is, nevertheless, now
! certain that we have carried the State on
: the home rote —this in more than the
friends of the Union expected, after send
ing out such a large volunteer force to
reinforce our gallant armies ; they did ex
i pect to carry the State by the assistance
jof the soldier's vote, and they had no
doubt as to their ability to carry the
State for " Abe and Andy" in November.
But they have been agreeably disappoint
. ed. not only carrying the State on the
j home vote, but carrying a majority of the
mem hers to the lower House; a majority
:of the Senate, aud last, but not least,
j electing at least four additional members
|of Congress' Our present delegation
] stands 12 to 12—we have now elected 10
|or 17, leaving them but 7or 8. This
: will make a change of eight or ten in our
ISTOI in the next Congress.
OHIO.
We believe this State had 4 Republi
can to 15 Democrats in the present Con
ress ; at the late eloction, Ohio has elect
e 1 at least 15 Republicans to 4 lJutter
i v.a»! thus completely reversing the fig
i Lies r.'jd changing the strength of the
respective parties in the next Congress -2,
in our favor!
INDIANA.
Last, but uot least, comes this glorious
State. Governor Morton was our candi
date for re-election ; he had long stood as
a wall of tire between the Rebel sympa
thisers and their Southern friends, but it
was feared that the time had come when
loyalty would have togo under in that
State. The Loyal pa*ty was greatly
weakenod by their liberal response to eve
ry fresh call for voluuteers.
j The opposition too had generally gone
into that disloyal organization, -kuowu 4#
the '• Sous of Liberty." Fortunately for
the Uuion cause, their treasonable de
signs were found out, numerous packages
of arms and ammunition shipped at New
Yoik, for their use were diseovered ; a
grand expose of their treasonable objects
followed ! This caused many an honest
Democrat to fauiter, and finally fall back
from following leaders who would soou
have plunged the whole party into overt
acts of trear«n ! A wholesonje reaction
set in, and the result is before us, in the
re-election of Gov. Morton, aud almost
the whole delegation to Congress—not
more than two Butternuts will he return
ed iu a delegation of ten! 1 ertuinly this
i« glory enough for one day, even without
considering its effects upon the Novem
ber election. Hut embracing its controll
ing influence upon thatelection, the great
benefits of the Union victory on the ltth
inst. is incalculable—securing as it does,
beyond a peradventure, the re-election of
Mr. Lincoln—the speedy restoration ot
the Union, and the domination office
principles in this nation.

HAKRISBI'RO, Oct. 14. 1 5(54.
MESSRS. EDITOTS :—ln the engage
ment of last Tuesday, the right of out
army was very success!ul, almost annihi
lating the rebel army in Indiana, captur
ing over ten thousand prisoners who have
all taken the oath of allegiance, and have
beeu mustered intothe rnnksof the Union
army. In the centre, the army of Ohio
repulsed the enemy handsomely, leaving
over forty thousand of their wounded on
the field. The rebel General Pendleton
was slain. The left had the hardest fight
of the war, but maintains its ground no
bly. • •
Our skirmishers have driven the enemy
within one mile of the South Side Rail
road, and as far as heard from, the enemy
lost seven to our one. No news from
Sheridan, but the Commissioners have
not returned, and tho probability is they
reached the army, and wo will soon hear
of another victory in tho valley. The
engagement of Tuesday extended to the
hespitals, where the sick and wounded,
with the exception of about one in twen
ty, fired another shot at treason ; but 1
must say these veterans were poorly sup
ported by the reserves; their friends at
home. I was busy nearly all day distrib
uting blanks, &<;., but I saw while at the
polls a poor man with one leg, trying to
shoot, but he had no ammunition; could
not some friend at home buy him a car
tridge and send to him before November?
They onlyeost ten cents. Now all I have
to say is, i/o to work; this battle will be
renewed on the Bth of November. Let
every soldier bo provided with ammuni
tion. Let every Union man come out
with a stick with a wide awake lamp.
Light tho torch ot Liberty as you did in
180 ■'. Organize, assess, pay your taxes,
turn out, and the Bth of November, 18(34*
will be as memorable as the day St. Pat
rick drove the snakes out of Irelaud. *
B@°* We have been furnished )>y a
friend, the following extract from the
Minutes of tho General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church, which met in the
city of Newark, New Jersey, on the 10th
of .Vlay. 18(34.
The Committee on Bills and Over
tures report.
Overture No 12, from the Presby
tery of Newton, reei ing the former
deliverances of the General Assem
bly upon the subject of slavary in
this country, and the duty of eman
cipation, and asking this General
Assembly to take such action as in
their wisdom seems proper to meet
the present aspects of human bond
age in our country, anil recommend
the adoptionof the following:
In the opinion of the General As
sembly, the solemn and momontous
circumstances of our times, the state
of our country, and the condition of
our Church, demand a plain declar
ation of its sentiments upon the ques
tion of slavery, in view of its pres
ent aspects in this country.
From the earliest period of our
Church, the General Assembly de'iv
ered unequivic,al testimonies upon this
subject, which it will bo profitable
now to reaffirm.
In the j'ear 1787, the Synod of
New York and Philadelphia, in view
of movements then on foot looking
to the abolition of slavery, and high
ly approving of them, declared that
"inasmuch as men introduced from a
servile state to a participation of all
the privileges of civil society, with
out a proper education, and without
previous habits of industry, may 1 e
in many respects, dangerous to> the
community, therefore they earnestly
recommend to all the members be
longing to their community to give
these persons who are at present
held in servitude such good educa
tion as to prepare them for the bet
ter enjoyment of freedom." * ♦
" And finally they recommend it to
all their people to use the most pru
dent measures consistent with the
interest and the state of civil society
in the countries where they live, to,
procure eventually the final abolition
of slavery in America."
In 1795, the General Assembly
"assured all the churches under their
care that they view with the
deepest concern any vestiges of sla
very which may exist in our coun
try."
In 1815 the following record was
made : The General Assembly have
repeated y declared their cordial
approbation of those principles of
civil liberty which appear to be rec
ognized by the federal and state gov
ernments in these United States.
They have expressed their regret
that the slavery of the Africans and
of their descendants still continue in
so many places, and even among those
within the pale of the Church, and
have urged the Presbyteries under
their care to adopt su h measures as
will secure, at least to the rising
generation of slaves, within the
bounds of the Church, a religous ed
ucation, that they may be prepared
for the exercise and enjoyment o!
liberty, when God : n his providence
may open a door for their emancipa
tion."
The action of the General Assem
bly upon the subject of slavery in
the year I'SIS is unequivocal and so
well known that it need not be reci
ted at length. The folk ring ex
tracts however we regard as applica
ble to our present circumstances, and
proper now to be reiterated:
'• We consider the voluntary ensla
ving of one portion of the human
race by another as a gross violation
of the most precious and sacred rights
of human nature, as utterly incon
sistent with the law of O d, which
requires us to love our neighbor as
ourselves, and as totally irreconcila
ble with the spirit and principles of
the gospel of Christ, which enjoins
' that all things whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do v? even
so to them.' Slavery creates a para
dox in the moral system. It exhib
its rational, moral, and accountable
beings in such circumstances as
scarcely to leave theui the power of
moral action. It exhibits them as
dependent on the will of others, wheth
er thi y shall receive religous instruc
tio , whether they shall know and
worship the true God. whether they
shall enjoy the ordinances of the
gospel, whether they perforin the
duties and cherish the endearments
of husbands ami wives, parents and
children, neighbors and friends:
whether they shall preserve their
chastity and purity, or regard the
dictates of justice ami humanity.
Such are some of the consequences of
slavery—consequences not imagina
ry, but which connect themselves
with its. very existence." * * *
From this view of the consequen
ces resulting from the practice, into
which Christian people have most in
consistently fallen, of enslaving
portion of their brethren of mankind
. . . it is manifestly the duty
of all Christians, who enjoy the light
of the present day, when the incon
sistency of slavery, both wit 1, the dic
tate of humanity an I of religion has
been demonstrated, and is generally
seen and acknowledged, to use their
honest, earnest, and unwearied en
deavours to correct tho errors of for
mer as speedily as possi
ble to etlace this blot on ou 1 holy re
ligion, and to obtain the complete ab
olition ot slavery throughout Christ
endom, and if possible throughout the
wo. 11."
They earnestly exhorted those por
tions of tlio Church where the evil
ot slavery had been entailed upon
them, "to continue, and, if possible,
to increase their exertions to effect a
total abolition of slavery, anil to suf
-I'eryio greater delay to take place in
♦this most interesting concern than
a regard to public welfare truly and
I indispensable demands;" and declare
" that our country ought to be gov
erne 1 in this matter by no other con
sideration than an honest and impar
tial rcgifrd to the happiness of the
injured party, uninfluenced by the ex
pense or inconvenience which sueli a
regard-may involve warning " all
who belong to our denomination of
Christians against unduly extending
this plea of necessity ; against ma
king it it cover for the love Aid prac
tice of slavery, or a pi*teneo for not
using efforts that are lawful and prac
ticable to extinguish this evil."
Such were the early and unequiv
ocal instructions of our Church. It
is not necessary too minutely toin
quire how fa thful and obedient to
to these lessons and warnings to
| those whom they wore addressed
j have been. It ought to be acknowl
| edged that we have alt much to con
! less and lament as to our shortcom
ings in this respect. Whether a
strict and carefu application of this
advice would have rescued the coun
try from the evil of its condition,
and the dangers which have since
♦.hreatened it, is known to the Om
niscient al >ne. VS hi Ist we do not be
lieve that the present judgments of
our Heavenly rather, and Almighty
and ikighteous Governor, have been
inflicted solely in punishment for our
continuance in this sin ; yet it is our
judgment that the recent events of
our history, and the present condi
tion ol our Church and our country,
furnish manifest tokens that the time
has at length come, in the providence
of God, when it is /lin wilt that every
vestige of human slavery among us
should be ejfaced, and that every
I Christian man should address him
\ self with industry and earnestness to
\ his appropriate part in the perform
ance of thisgrevt duty.
Whatever excuse for its postpone
ment. may heretofore have existed,
no longer avail. When the country
was at peace within itself, and the
Church wag unbroken, many con
ciences were perplexed in the pres
ence of this great evil, for th» want
of an adequate rein' dy. Slavery
was so formidably intrenched behind
the ramparts of personal interests
and prejudices, that to attack it with
a view to its speedy overthrow ap
peared to be attacking the very ex~-
istence of the social ordor itself, and
was characterized as the inevitable
introduction of an anarchy, worse in
its consequences than the evil for
which it seemed to be the only cure.
Hut the folly and weakness of men
have been the illustrations of God's
wisdom and power. Under the in
fluence of tho most incomprehensible
infatuation of wickedness, those who
were most deeply interested in the
perpetuation of slavery have t< ken
away every motive for its further tol
eration. The spirit of American
slavery, not content with its defences
to be found in the laws of the States,
the provisions of the Federal Consti
tution, the prejudices in favour of ex
isting institution, and the fear of
change, has taken arms against law,
organized a bloody rebellion aganst
the national authority, made formid
able war upon the Federal Union,
and in order to found an empire up
the corner-stone of'slavery, threat
ens not only our existence as a peo
ple, but the annihilation of the prin
iples of free Christian government;
and thus has rendered the continu
ance of negro slavery incompatible
with the preservation of our own lib
erty and independence.
In the struggle of the nation for
existence against this powerful and
wicked treason, the highest executive
authorities have proclaimed the abo
lition of slavery within most of the
rebel States, and decreed its extinc
tion by military force. They have
enlisted tinge formerly held as slaves
to be soldiers in the national armies.
They have taken measures to organ
ize the labor of th ■ freemen, and in
stituted measures for their support
and government in their new condi
tion. It is the President's declared
policy not to consent to the reorga-ri
ination of civil government within
the .-deeded States upon any othe
basis than that of emancipation. In
the loyal St.'ites where slaver)' has not
been abolished, lueasuresof emancipation
on different stages of progress, have been
set on foot, and are near their consumma
tion ; and propositions for an amendment
to the Federal Constitution, prohibiting
slavery in all the Stales and Territories,
are now pending in the national Congress.
So that, iti our present situation, the in
terests oi peace and of social order are
identified with the success of the cause
of emancipation. The difficulties which
formerly seemed insurmountable, in the
providence of God, appear now tube al
most removed. The most formidable re
maining obstacle, we think, will be found
to be the unwillingness ot the human
heart to see and accept I he truth against the
prejudices of habit and interest; and to
act towards those who have been hereto
fore degraded as slaves, with the charity
of Christian principles in.the necessary
efforts to improve and elevate them.
In view, therefore, of it.-? former tc.sti
! monies upon the subject, tlie General As
semblage does hereby devoutly express
! itsgvatitudc to Minighty tied for having
overruling the w.cke Itics and calamities
of the rebellion, so as to work out the de
liverance of our country from the evil and
guilt of slavery; its earnest desire for
the extirpation of slavery, a« the root of
bitterness from which has sprung rebel
lion, war. and bloodshed, an 1 the Ion"
list of horrors that follow in their train:
its earnest trust that'the thorough remo
val of this prolific source of evil and
harm will be speedily followed by the
blessing! of our Heavenly Father, the
return of pease, union and fraternity, and
abounding prosperity to the whole land ;
and recommend ti» all in our communion
to l.ibor honestly, earnestly and unweari
e l!y in their respective spheres for this
glorious consummation, to wjtirh human
justice. Christian love, national peace and
prosperity, every earthly and every reli
gous interest, combine to pledge them.

The Examiwr has tho following new
speech from Jeff. Davis. It introduces it
as follows: —"On passing through the
Columbia, South Caroliua, on his return
to Richmond, President Davis treated the
' citizens to anothe. jf hisspeeches. Tliero
is nothing new or striking in it. Ho
travels over pretty much the same grounds
as he did iu his speech at Macon, Mont
gomery aud Augusta. We take from the
(hiardian'i report of his speech the fol
lowing extract:
President Davis alluded to the repeat
ed efforts which had been made by the
government to open negotiations for peace
ami to the hoStile spirit and temper ia
which all such advances had been met.
He treat) d our recognition by foreign
states as an Ujnitws/a/tin, glaring but ie->
lusive. There was one sign of foreign
favor which could not deceive. It was
always exhibited when Confederate victor
ies took place. It was the advance of
i ton federate stocks in the foreign markets.
It showed upon what the action of for
eign states naturally rested. Their favor
will necessarily follow successes which will
laad to and end in out independence. Tho
President said that ho had just returned
from the Army of Tennessee, and brought
from it only words of good cheer, lthad
increased in strenght and risen in sotfl.
'■ Its march wasornvard, 80 far ns (it'
could judge the strategy of General Hood
was good and his conduct gallant; His
eye was on a point of the communica
tions of the enemy far beyond tllatttherer
he had been assailed. If but n half or
even a fourth of those whofthovld join him
would promptly do so, there would be ncr
alternative ti>r Sherman but defeat «» dis
astrous retreat, and he would within thif
tv days be found crossing the Tennessee
Kiver. But within that time much would
have to be done to insure these aus|icous
results. Absentees from the army must
promptly return to it. Others who owe
the country service and have thus far elu
ded or avoided it, must faithfully pay tho
debt and place themselves without delay
in th e armies of Tennesseeand Virginia."
October mid I lie Presidency.
The Unionists of Indiana have settled
a'l (juestion as to tho vote of f/iciV State
tor President. We consider her, after
Kentucky, Missouri, Delaware and New-
Jersey, tlie Slate most likely to cast her
vote for McClellau; and we felt certain
(as we now do) that notiliy LleeWnd Votes
can be given to the Chicagrt ticket u.ile.-s
by the aid of this State. Aua ye, tliero
lives to-day no American, qualified to sit
on a jury, who does not know that she
will choose Lincoln electors on tho Bth of
next month.
. Let us here statu a fact that li s caM -
ally come to our knowledge, aud which ■
illustrative ot the late una peudiuy; eau
vass:
Tho Unionists of Indiana, feeling that
they had a right to the vo'es ot the.r fel
low-citizens serving their country in tho
fitld , and that they were likely to need
them, dispatched, some two or thiee weeks
since, a gentleman of high character to
Washington to solicit furloughs lor nl!
the soldiers from, that Suite—or, if all
could not l>e spared, then fir so many of
them as could be. 'i hey desired no par
tiality—uo picking aud culling—they,
wished regiments in fail .-.cut home indis
criminately, and tho more tho better.
'1 heir agents was cordially welcomed, ad
milted confidentially toun lusiUe view of
the Military situation, aud asked whether
he could conscientiously aitvise the with~
drawal, oven for a week, of even one reg
iment front the service, lie could not re
spond affirmatively; he gave up tho ijuos t
and went on his way. Ami our armies
in the field have not been weakened by
a single regiment, to strengthen the Union
cause lor the recent I,lections. A few
soldiers have been furlouglied, mainly
froui hospitals; but the Xndiaiiiansdeprn -
ed of their votes by icason of their ab
sence trim In.me hi the National sirvice,
w,uld have given nearer 'iwonty 'thous
and than 'len Thousand majority tor tho
Union ticket. Yet Indiana is carried
high and dry by the I uionists, who ha\o
inauc a cleaner sweep of the State than
any party ever made before. Their Pres
idential canvass is virtually endgd, and
they can henceforth help their less fortu
nate neighbors. And all do know that,
wln.li fnitiana goes this way. neither illi
llO.S nor any oilier fcialo ol the !• ice VV ust
ii likely togo the other.
Oi Ohio, less need be said, because
her Unionists have neither been distrust
ful nor d'Strusled. Nobody imagine that
they would again pile up such an enor
mous majority as that whereby she last
year elected V allanuigliam to stay in Can
ada; but all telt that she must go as she
went last year, though not so overwhelm
ingly. Hut the result has far surpassed
our most sanguine hopes. Ihe aggicgatc
popular majority canuot faU OeiuW .sixty
Thousand, when the Soldiers' Vote shall,
have been returned, while our gam of
Members of Congress is certainly ten audi
iuay Oo lirctce or over, iuothef words,
we nave tittccii to seventeen (uionists
chosen to the next ilouse, lustcou ot JL it',
(to lourtceuj lu this; itini tho lourtceu
lueiuue Peuuletou, Long, S. S. I ox, and
other oi the fiercest locs of the Adminis
tration. the victory is so thorough that
Onio, too, is heucoiorih practically out, ot
the Presidential euniest.
112 euusy ivaii.a is not; aud ye.t slio has
given a large Liueoiu majority, t/, tjns
e.eetion, while the votes ot her, grtiaft

aie not near.y polled out, because uo ade--
cjuate uiouve tor exertion was pie.-euto-l
to many l.uiouists. Aueglmoy couuty

coln; though, she has now ol
the bolUiera vutes) giving i.iQcii less;
Lancaster is good lor ti,oUu, ttiougu siie
has uow giveu hut 4,d'Jo. Philadelphia
ou our sioe, Berks on the Other, were well
tought; but i litladelphia was an excep
tion to the gcneial ruie. When bUe£oi<X
ieis' votes are all luaud counted, the State
will be louinl to have given not leas than
lU,UOU, and probably nearer ma
jority for the I nion ticket, electing six
lecu to cighteeu I nion itcpreseuiaiives
in Congress out of twenty .tour, which
stand eijuaily divided iu the present House,
aud there is uo doubt of a Lu.ou
majority in both branches of the Legis
lature. \\ e can do a great deal better
than this in November;
for the present, i'eunsylvauia has ut\
uiore idea of voting lor McOlyiLm
for .Jet}, Davis himself.
Unionists yf all the States? wo cau
sweep the deck if we will! New-Jersey
is going with us; Maryland is clearly for
us; the hardest States to carry for Lin
eolu are Keutucky, Delaware,aud Missouri.
But Price will soon be skedaddling from
Missouri, with half the Copperheads of
that State in his train; Delaware will now
go right; aud even Kentucky will yield
to the majestic current. Let us resolve
to carry every State not under the heel of
Jcfl. Davis! We can if we will.—iV. I',
