Tiffany announced the fact last Week,
that the " old Keystone," had " gone for the
Union, the Constitution and the enforcement
of the laws." We think it has too ; not for a
union with niggers— not f<>r a constitution
that places them on an equality wi h tree
white men—not for the enforcement of the
arbitrary mandates of any Tyrant, as Tiff
thought it had. Bu' for 'fie restoration of
the good old union of sia.es as the) were,
under the nobie old Constitution a- it is and
for the enforcement of all just, whot.vune and
proper laws, including those against peijury.

Tiffany on the Result.
In the last issue of the Rejiublican , the
Tiffanies claim that in the late election, the
Republican party have " a gam over the dem
ocratic Ticket of 1860, it not less than one '
hundred and fifty votes, c >ns dering," say!
they, ♦* the faci" that "three hundred re
publican Voters have gone out 'of the county, j
while there is not m ire than one half of that
number of democrats gone." We suppose !
these " Babes in the woods," r fer te the
soldiers, when ihey speak" f men who have j
gone from the county. We never knew, iev
er asked or wanted to know, the exact or
even approximate ratio of Democrats to Re i
publicans in the army fr :n tins county
Men of all parties have gone, Democrats
aa promptly r.t,d in. {is lat-e uumbers
In localities where we are acquainted, as '
those of any other party Few, if any, we:
regret to say, of the Tiffany str pe have gone. !
One of that firm, however, did, we believe,
•crew up his patriotism (?) last summer, to I
such a pitch, that he went with a company
of men down as far as Harrsburg arid af
ter getting a suit of clothes and a free ride at
t.ia expense of the government, returned all
ocvered with glory (?) or something else.
Let us for a moment exitnine the assertion
that the defeat of the abolition ticket in this
eoun'y, is the result of the withdrawal of
their voters from the county, while demo
erats have staid at home, for we believe, there
are some besides the Babes, who give curren- I
ey to this opinion. Men whose simple state- I
ments are worth more than all the " facts" j
of the Tidanies with their oaths to back them :
Never, but once, we believe in the history '
of this county, was there a larger vote !
polled, than at the present election. At the i
October election in 1860, 2558 votes were ;
polled for Curtm and Foster—a greater num- '
ber than at the Presidential election. At i
the present election the vote on Auditor, and
several other candidates exceeded 2500, or i
within less than 50 voles of the largest ever
polled in the county. This serves to show
that the voting portion of the soldiers what
ever their political opinions are, which were
actually out of the county on the dav of elec
tien is small. In this connexion it should be
borne in mind that one company was sent i
back ialo the county, on the eve i f election,
for the purpose we believe of carrying the '
election agains* us. This trick, however, of
Cartift's to drag through his old friend Wil
aiot proved abortive. The soldiers we ho e
and bel.eve, did not all vote against the white
man's Ticket, as they were expected to do ;
but for the party that are in favor of th con- 1
stitution and the union, the same that our
soldiers are periling their lives to maintain
and restore. And again how does it com - i
port with this lhenry, tlint the vote polled by
Bhe democrats of the C"Unty,i over 300 great
r than at last tail. Les* ifian 10U0 men in
this county l ist fall voted for that staunch
aid Democrat, Col. Tate. This fall every reg
ular candidate, on our ticket received over
1300 votes, and one, Vaughn, 1442. Does
the absence of Republicans, increase the ac
tual number of democrats in our county at
Ihil, to them, fearlul rate ? If, to withdraw
aa it is alledged 300 Republican" from the
cowoty, will bring into existancu an equal or
greater number of democrats, we are decided- 1
ljr in faror f sending all the " wide awakes," j i
"Home Guards" ''Post office" aspirants, non
tax paying, lying vagabond printers, there
are in the county, down south, to est&bliah
nigger schools, drill nigger brigades, drink
nigger whiskey, and astonish the natives
with their profound contempt of the union
the Cftns'tihition and laws, and of the solemn
oil gation on an oath. We will then supply
their places by white men, who pay their
taxes before voting, and who when they are
sworn to tell the truth, do so.
Resistance to the Enrollment in Luzerne Co
I
We regret to learn that serious trouble ex
; ists in Luzerne county, growing out of the
draft. In the town of Blakely several fruit
, loss attempts had been made to make the en
i rollment, and on Friday last a military com
pany was taken to the place, when a fight
with the citizens ensued. The military was
! | obliged to fire upon them, killing four or five,
; and again on Wednesday 200 of the military,
with a small cannon, were taken up, when,
the affair assuming a serious aspect, the citi
zens desisted from their opposition, and the
enrollment was completed.
4 he same trouble hf.'s been experienced in
Carbondale. The citizens residing in '.he
1 lower wards have resisted so stubbornly that
the enrolling officers have beeu unable to
complete their labors.
Also in Scranton the same resistance was
shown, but the officers succeeded iu complet
ing the enrollment.
Ihe same spirit, it is said, has been mani
fested all through the mining region.
Tlkj Carbondale Advance says:—" We
have melancholly news from Aorhbald. A
death iias resulted from a renewed effort to
take the enrollment at that place. We pub
: lished, two weeks since, an account of the
manner in which the enrolling officer and
j four or five assistants had been driven froin
the town, bloody and bruised. We learned,
about noon yesterday, that the enrolling offi
| cer had arrived upon the ground with a large
posse, unarmed, for the purpose of taking the
enrollment peaceably, if they could, but with
; a company of militia in attendance, tinned, to
execu'c the law forcibly if they must. Dur- ;
ing the afternoon six women were arrested
for disturbing the peace, and Scut to jail at
W ilkesbarre. No serious difficulty, however,
occurred until the officers were returning !
from their day's business to- the hotel. A ri
ot then occurred, with these results: Pat- I
rick Gilmartin, killed, received about ten
shots. His wife was badly wounded. Pat
rick Co'egar, sh t thr-ugh the hand ; Micha
el Caflrey, severely wounded with three balls;
and John Catfrev with two balls. Several
others slightly wounded. None of the mill- j
tia were hurl.,'
The Draft and the War.
We publish to day tie list of persons j
dralted in this county numbering 06 in
all. I his draft, (hough light, as it may seem
to be, to apparently disinterested persons,
(alls upon some districts with terrible weight, 1
and upon some families with ruinous severity, j
Indeed in many cases it seems ii )a t the
very ones, least able to leave their homes and
tainil es are the ill faded conscripts.
We have heard it intimated that another
draft is soon to follow the one now made.
We hope however, that our people will not ;
be forced to drain the very dregs of this last !
cup of bitterness. How long at this rate will
(hey "give their voices for the war."? A war i
that has already taken from theirhappy homes 1
and peaceful firesides one out of every three,
of the laboring men of the north. A war that
has desolated thousands of hearthstones; left
thousands of helpless innocent children to
struggle on in orphanage through long years
of gaunt poverty and want, uneducated, unfed,
uncared for by fraternal hands. A war that
has furrowed with tears its thousands of wid- j
ows cheeks, and left its thousands of wives
mothers, daughters, and sisters, trembling
with weakness and want, without the strong
arm of husband, father or brother to support
them. Awr that will send back upon an
already overburdened tax-ridden impoverish
ed people, thousands of its maimed, crippled,
helpless and dependent victims. llow long
shall we invoke the presence of '■ grim vis
aged war." before we may again look for the
coming of the white winged angel of Peace ? j
Some, (not an inch of compromise), " abo. j
litinnists may charge us with belonging to
the " peace party'' with being a traitor and
prove his own " Loyalty', by hissing through i
his wolfish teeth at Democrats with infernal !
emphasis his favorite word sccesh.
If to regret that when terms of honorable j
Coinnromise were offered which would have 1
averted all the calamties that have since be- !
fallen the country, they were not accepted, if, ;
we say, to regret this, is to make us the Peace j
Party, then are we the Peace Party. If to
hope and pray that an internecine war which
lias already drenched this fair land in blood,
may be brought to a speedy and an honor
able close is to be traitors, then are we trai
tors. If to clmg to the constitution as the
sheet anchor the shield and charter of our
liberties, and the I nlon cemented bv the
blood of our fathers, as our only rock of!
safety is secessionist!), then are we secession- j
ists.

Cen. McCall.
'I he renegade, traitor, and abolitionist, j
John W. Forney, in the Press of the 18th I
inst. speaking of the defeat of the brave Geo. j
McCall, who was beaten f r Congtess, in the ;
Chester Co. district says:
The people have decided that Gen. McCall
should not represent them in Congress
Wby should tfie President not decide he
should not represent them in the field ? i
7he tune has come to dispose of doubtful
men.
Why is a man who walks behind a j 1
chimney sweep like a card player ? Because j :

The Result of the Election.
The result of the late election in the State i 8
now conceded by all parties to be a democrat
ic triumph. Though but meager returns hate
as yt reached us, enough is known, to war
rant the conclusion, that the state ticket is
elected by a handsome majority. The popu
lar hranch of the state Legislature is demo
cratic by at least twelve majority—sufficient
ly 60 as to ensure a majority on joint ballot
wh'ch will secure to us the next U. S. Sena
tor, in the place of the abolitionist Wilmot.—
Fifteen out of the twenty-four Congressmen
elected, are claimed by the democrats. Grow
of the Luzerne and Susquehanna District, has
been beaten by over 2500 majority. The
whole democratic ticket in Luzerne has been
triumphantly elected. Allen McCain one of
the bolting republicans in Bradford was beat
en by only 76 votes, also Maj. Terry, his
partner in the race, by less than 500. Col.
Smith the candidate for state Senator in this
district was beaten by about 800.
The Result—ls it an Imloi semen tof the Ab
olitionists f
The Constitutional Union, a Philadelphia
democratic paper in an article under the above
caption says :
As the smoke of the battle quietly lifts,
and we get a view of the scene of contest, we
are enabled to form something like a proper
idea of the results of the battle. If, however,
an idea of the result were not ascertainable
from any other point, it would only require a
comparison of the election editorials of our
cotemporaries, the Press, the Inqurer , and the
North American, to satisfy all that the offi
cial returns very materially change the aspect
of affairs, and put u the saddle on the right
horse." In a word, the election in Pennsyl
vania has been a great and glorious triumph
for the conservative. Constitution loving
Democratic party.
True, the municipal election of this City
resulted in the choice of the Republican can
didates, but there are reasons for this result
which, at a glance, overturn all claims to a
Republican victory. As to its being an in
dorsement of the Administration, that is pre
posterous ; but it was brought about by the
lash of power—by the threats of proscription,
by unheard of attempts on the part of the
Abolitionists to carry the day, is undeni
able.
Where, in the annals of our political his
tory, do we find such an outrage as that per
petrated upon the nation and the honest
working men of our City, by John Covode's
visit to and political mid day speeches at the
United States arsenal and United States navy
yard, in which he threatened them with dis
| missal, and vowed eternal hostility to all fu
j ture appropriations for the yard, if the men
i did not vote as the Abolition party desired
them ? Workmen of Philadelphia, where
was your wonted spirit on that insulting oc
| casion ? Why was not the man who dared to
stilio the free exercise of suffrage, driven from
your midst with bowlings and execrations ?
But let us look farther. Read the printed
1 edicts from Merrick, Baldwin, Striker A Co.,
and other men who have large Government
j contracts, and who are growing fat off of
them. They too threatened the lash of pro
scription.
Look still further, hand see how the police
force wero engaged on election day. We
| heard an Abolitionist say on Fourth street the
evening of the election, l! the police were worth
five thousand votes to us to-day. 1 never saw
! them work so hard. They knew they would
be turned out if Fox was elected, so they kept
the ball rolling all day.*'
i
Look still further, at the, large number (f
! persons here who have Government contracts
; —not so large perhaps as Merrick's—and
: who are deeply interested in prolonging the
i war; and summing up all these suborning in
• fluences, is it surprising that our municipal
i election was carried by the Abolitionists ?
! And yet, with all these odds against them,
! with every morning daily except our own,
pitted against them, with no public patronage
| with which to compel subordinates to vote as
directed ; alone, single handed armed with no
weapon but constitutional right, and pleading
no cause but the cause of their bleeding coun- 1
i try, the Democracy entered the arena, and
| and more than thirty thousand of them record
j id their vote against the treason of Abolition
| Think of that Abolitionists ? think of that !
| Thirty thousand of tli people of Philadelphia
i untrameled by administration influences, of
j their own accord, in the face of opposition the
i most uhscrupulous, of falsehoods the most
| glaring, of official inlioence the mast out
j rageous and unprcedented, dared to rebuke
; the Abolition faction. Another trial, and the
j la-t vestige of that unholy faction will be
i swept aside as chaff from the threshing-floor.
| Take heart, Democrats, there is a good day
! coming! Take heart! Stand by your prin
! ciples, for the Constitution of the United
! States is " a strong rock of defence." Cling
i to it ss the shipwrecked mat iner clings to the
I floating plank, God in his providence, will
; yet rescue the people from the plague of Ab
olition.
Bcccher on the Union.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, on Sunday last
compared the Union with Slavery, to a bar
rel with worm eaten staves, remarking that
"As with States, so it is with the Nation
al Governm nt. For fear of weakness in the
original compact, the monster was admitted." !
The " National Intelligencer " replies :
Mr. Beecher is so learned in many branch
es of study that be may be excused for not '
knowing much about tbe history oftbel'ni
ted States. As at the date of the formation
of the Constitution, every State allowed sla
ve; y within its bounderies except Massaehu- I
setts, it follows that if the framers of that in
strument had acted according to the idea o |
Mr. Beecher, the Union would have consist
ed of that State alone.

| The following letter from Lieut. Gen. Scot!

tr\. written two days before the inaugura
tion of Lincoln, has just been made public.
. It was read by .Air. John Aan Buten, in a

. predated, in part, at least, the vastness of the

WASHINGTON, March, 2, 18GI,
DEAR SIU : —Hoping that, in a day or two.
the new President will have happily passed
, through all personal dangers, and lind him
I self installed an honored successor of the
.great Washington, with you as the chief of
his Cabiiet, I beg leave to repeat in wrfting
j what I have before.said to you orally this
! supplement to my printed "views" (dated >n
j October last) —on the highly disordered con
jda ion of our (so late) happy and glorious
, L nion. To meet the extraordinary exigen
i cies of the time, it seems to me that I am
I guilty of no arrogance in limiting the Pre?-
j idenCs field of selection to one of the tour
plans of procedure subjoined:
I. Throw off the old and assume a new
designation : the Union party. Adopt the'
j conciliatory measures proposed by Mr. Crit
tenden or the Peace Convention, and my life
upon it we shall have no new casq of Seces
sion ; but on the contrary, an early return
of many, if not all of the States which have
already broken off from the Union. Without
some equally benign measure, the remaining
slaveholding States will probably join the
Montgomery Confederacy in less than sixty 1 ,
days; when this city, being included in a
foreign country, would require a permanent
garrison of at least thirty-five thousand troops'
to protect the Government within it.
11. ( ollect the duties on foreign goods out
side the ports of which the Government lias
lost the command, or close such ports by aci
of Congress and blockade them.
111. Conquer the seceded States by invad
ing armies. No doubt this might bo done in
two or three j'ears by a ) oung and able gen
era!—a Wolfe, a Desaix, or a Hoche—with!
000,000 disciplined men, estimating a third
for garrisons and the loss of a greater num
ber by skirmishes, sieges, bat tles, and South-!!
ern fevers. Ihe destruction of life and prop
erty on the other side would be frightful,
however perfect the moral discipline of the;
invader.
The conquest completed at that enormous
waste of human life to the North and North
west—with at least §250,000,000 added >
thereto, and cwt bono ? Fifteen devastated
provinces ! not to be brought into harmony j
with their conquerors, but to beheld for gen
erations by heavy garrisons, at an expense
quadruple tho net duties or taxes which it
would be possible to extort from them, fol-i,
lowed by a protector or an emperor.
*1 IV. Say to the secuded States—wayward'
.sisters, depart in peace.
1 i In haste, I remain,
V er y truly yours.

-.j In the lest public speech of Stephen A,
e Douglas, before the Illinois Legislature, a
h-'W days before bis death, he defined his po
: sition both towards Republicanism and Seces-'
sionism in the following pointed language.
1 " I have no apprehension that any man in
Illinois, or beyond the limits of our beloved
; State, will misconstrue or misunderstand my
J, motives, so far as any of the partisan ques
' ,tions are concerned. I stand in equal, eler-
I ,nal and undying opposition to the RKJU BU
f CANS and SECESSIONISTS."
' With this language before them the aboli
:• tion Republican Tresses and orators have the
* audacity to claim that the lamented Douglas
' sympathised with their niggerism.
