THE RESIILT.
[From tbo Harrisburg Telegraph, November 8.)
Twelve States voted on Tuesday last
and the questions decided were, "Shall the
restoration policy. of Andrew Johnson be
sustained, or the plan of reconstruction
presented by Congress?"
The answers to these important questions
have been most emphatic. Maryland and
Delaware, two of the smallest States of the
Union, have, by the aid of the votes of men
who fought in open rebellion against the
Union—who in the darkest. hour of its ex
istence burned its towns and destroyed its
villages—decided in favor of the policy
adopted by the President.
Ten 'States, some of them the largest
and wealthiest in the. Union, have decided
in favor of Cengr&s. Was there ever a
rebuke witnessed tike this? 'The Repub
licans have reason to be proud of their tri
umph, especially when we remember that
the whose power of the Executive was op
posed to them and was used in the most
unscrupulous manner. ,
The National, Treasury Was even debased
for this - -purpose. Millions of gold were
8,31.1 in New York, at the rate of 127, to
individuals who, immediately after their
purchase from the Government ran it up
to 148, and thus realized over TNN MILLIONS
OF Dottiats Prwirr without handling one
dollar of the coin. A large amount of
4heso profits Were directly appropriated- as
an electiimi fund to corrupt Republicans
andcarry the election in favor of the Pres
ident. ' With all this power but two small
slave •. States, Maryland and Delaware,
could be corrupted.
The voice of the people has been em
phatic, and we append a general summa
tion of Republican majorities, which have
sustained Congress and made treason odi
ous. .Look at' the glorious result: •

TUE HUMORS Or VIE CONTEST
General Benjamin F. Butler goes to Con
gress to impeach the President. He is the
"sensational member."
Mr. Demas Barnes, in the Third District
of New York, is elected. He is a Demo
crat, and the most extensive dealer in pat
ent medicines in the world. He goes to
Congress not to physic the members, nor
for. the honor, nor for the pay, but to puff
up his nostrums, and reduce the tax on
quacks and quackery. Could he be called
a regular candidate, or an old;school
Democrat?
John Morrissey goes to Congress to show
that "one n3in l is just as good as another,
and a great deal better, if he behaves him
self." He should be placed upon the Com
mittee on Banks—general and national;
he knows how to conduct some institutions
of the same name. He should, also be
placed on the Committee on Rules, so that
be could revise the code of etiquette, and
apply some of the neatest things from the
"P. It" Blue-book.

1F TIIE AMENDMENT FAILS.
I We have shown before that is the re
quisite number of legislatures phoose to
ratify the Constitutional Amendment, it
may be a partiof the Constitution by the
first of February, and before Congress has
been two months in session all the States
may be represented.
There is no doubt that this would be a
very welcome consummation to the people
everywhere; the nation would thus be re
li,ved from a struggle which disturbs it se
riously, and all parts of it would,beat lib
erty to go to' work and repair i damages.
11l feeling would be allayed, theibitterness
of prejudice would die out, and the south
ern states, pi t irticularly, would he' enabled
to work out i for themselves in :peace the
problems which are still before them.
The fruits of such an event ! would be
happy for the whole country, and et serious
responsibility rests upon those Wbo, forin
sufficient reasons, through obsti9acy, or for
the attainment of mere partisan ends, strive
to prevent or. delay an adjustnynt which
would be benefieial to all sections of the
t
'country and to all Classes of our.population.
The Amendment may be rrilied; we
hope it will; but the opposition to it may
prevail; and it is north while ito consider
what would be the result should it fail to
pass; should it be rejected by all the south
ern states. It is worth whileo think of
this, because, though the Peo j
le desire a
settlement, ' there are not e.ss Ithan three
classes of politicians who are laboring to
prevent such a settlement, Cndt.o keep the
country in its present disorganized and 'an
archial condition. These 'I are,' first, the
southern leaders—those who j drove the
southern states into rebellion', and most of
whom would be disabled from holding of
fice by the adoption of the amendment;
next the democratic—or coPperhead—
leaders iti the northern states; land finally,
the so-called radical leaders, represented by
the Independent. These three, classes) all'
energetic and earnestly bent upon their
awn designs,' are not content with ithe
amendment, because its adoption and. t i the
consequent admission. of all the states to
representation, and completion of the work
of restoration, would fatally check their
plans. 1 .
'What; then, will' be the result if ,the
A.mendinent fails ? It is plain, in the first
place, that we shall be condemned still
longer to the condition in which the-gaun
try,i to its very great injury, has beeni for
now eighteen months—a condition winch
we have called anarcbial, and which would
be as bad as that of Mexico, were it ;not
that, our people have more patience, and
have not yet fallen into the habit of shoot-,
ing each other for p,olitical differences.
But this is not all; we could not stand
still where we are. 1 Political parties will
inevitably divide upon an issue of extremes.
We think it may be said that this issue
will be between a party on the one hand
who will! demand the admission to Con
gress, and to all political power, of all the
leaders in Ithe late rebellion, and a party on
the other hand who will demand the ut
most seiterity of punishment lot those lead
ers, and juniversal or impartial suffrage in
all the states, as the only security for the
nation. t 1
• That this is the tendency of parties no
one Fan (doubt who bears in mind that the
copperhead leaders look to an alliance with
the leaders in the late rebellion, as their
hope of a political future; they must,
in the nature of things, demand for these
allies of theirs all political rights and pri- i
ileges; while the so-called radical wing , 31 . 1
the Republican party will not fail to tale
advantage of the folly of the southern
states in refusing the amendment, and of
the obnoiious schemes of their opponenth,
to irmpress upon the people the necessity i>f
still more effective precautions against the
dangerous ambition of the southern lead
ers and their northern allies.
Thus, with the rejection of the ameJl
ment, we' ; shall enter upon another politi
cal struggle, snore intense than that thil,o'
which we are now passing, more injuriolis
to the country, and especially to the south
ern states—a contest of which the; issuelis,
not doubtful; for the twenty millionsjof
the northern statea will begin to see the
unreasonableness of the southern leaders,
and will lose patience with these men, who
so stubbornly refuse the mildest terms esier
offered to beaten rebels. Hitherto the
I country has wonderfully restrained itself;
but we advise no one to push its patience
too far. It is not at all impossible, it is not
even implobable, if the amendnient should
fail thiough the obstinacy of the southern
leaders, that the laws which are still on the
)
statute bnok may be enforced against the
politician's who led their states into treason
and rebellion.
Hitherto we have given only mercy!.
1 but justice is still alive.. It seems a mon
strous thing to the southern politicians that
some of ;them - should be excluded from
office; but, suppose they were to be banged
for their treason, as the law demands, sup
pose their estates should. be taken from
them, as the law requires? If they will
take our advice they will think of these
things They are not masters Of the situ
ation. They have no more power now,
nor strength with the country, than they
had the day Lee surrendered to Grant;
then they would have joyfully accepted the
,5,..
ameddment; it is great folly for them to
reject it now. Their attitude, their con
duct, their words, their pretentious claim.
are all irritating to the northern people,
who fought through four years to put down
treason, and now see the leading traitors
aspiring to the highest offices, and demand
ing where if they were prudent they would
supplicate, and if they were only reasonable
they would accept in silence the large and
free mercy which is offered them.
If the southern leaders were wise men,
they would say to themselves, "Oar best
course is to ;idol* the amendment, because
ECM

rl lagam
itump-
thus the matter will be settled; we shall at
least be secure of life, property and resi
dence in the country. Aye failed, and we
must wait for our offence to be forgotten."
They would see that piesently the affair
will "blow over," if only they act prudent
ly ; but; that their present course is only cal
culated to excite resentment against therm'
Congress, which would have .the power,
under the amenlment, would, before many
yeats pass, remit the very light penalty put
upon them, and restore them—or all who
showed a proper spirit—to all privileges,
and they might still hope for. a political'
future. .
Rut they seem little inclined for such
wisdom. They are as besotted now as they
were in 060, when they deliberately made
war against the Union, and really believed
their treason would not. be resisted. 'Their
crazy attempt then not" only brought ruin
upon their own states, but enormous lossei
and suffering upon the northern people: So .
too, their present course threatens to inflict
upon us, as well as upon the iouthern swum,
further injuries. The southern leaders have
a capacity for mischief thrt is to say—so
much we must grant them; they are able
to keep the country in disorder; but, when
ever the people of the United States come
fairly to see this, nothing is so probable as
that they will sweep away, with the strong
arm of justice,' these infatuated hinderers
of peace and prosperity, these malignant
and stubborn mischief-makers. If the men
who led the way in the great treason insist
on being banged or expatriated, they may
yet have their will—ane that sooner than
they think. •
