THE EI.E. TIONS.

a slight Sklrmlsn as hihu u Pieiuue
to the great battle which is to be fought
on the 4th Of November, has just taken
place. And now Ger the smoke and
dust Of the conflict has cleared away, it
becomes us as rational beings, Interested
in the final result of the great conflict,
to look at the effects of this preliminary
fight upon the pending contest and from
it if possible, discover what there is to
encourage or discourage those interested
in the success Of the Republican party.
Looking at it from our point of view
we are unable to see any thing TO disheart-
en- Republicans, but much to encourage.
but what can YOU expect of Pcnnsylva-
nia?'' shrek ourBuchanic, brethren. We
answer that question Yankee fashlon: by
asking another. What can they expect
of her? What is there in the result of
the Pennsylvania election TO give them
encouragement? Nothing, absolutely
nothing. Feeling that their whole sal
vation depended upon carrying that State
in this election they have left no means
unried. Money has been expended law
ishly, and even the basest frauds prac-
ticed at the polls. Yet, with all this, If
they have even been able to carry the
STATE al all, it is only by few hundreds
of a majority, not amounting at most to
two thousand If they can derive con-
ISOLATION from this, they certainly must
have very happy faculty of extracting
comfort from adversely. If they have
not been able to carry their candidates
own State by even q respectable majority
after all their energies have been exhaust
ed in the use of their various appliances
frauds, deceptions and mlsrepresenta'
tons, what can they expect to do wnen
their frauds have been discovered and ex-
posed, and their effects begin to react
upon themselves? And then in the Pres
idential election the Republicans will be
better organized, and better united. and
will be able TO poll heavier vote by
thousands than at the last ltction. Sc
that taking everything into consideration,
we think the prospect, so far as Penn
sylvania is concerned decidedly flattering
But Indiana has gore Democratic, and
our Brchanan friends try to get up e
/ shrek Of exaltation over their meager ma
iority; manifesting how thankful they car
be, for Small favors. In facttheir jubilan
shouts over what they term avictory are
mere yells, expressive of their joy at hav
ing escaped an expected and deserved de
feat. There is absolutely nothing in the
result Of tie Indiana election to give then
any sanguinary hopes Of carry ing it at th'
Presidential election.
But by proper exertion, the Republl
cans can carry it for Fremont by hand
some majority. AT the last election tn
Republicans allowed themselves to b
j drawn into discussion of the merits o
an obsolete and unpopular liquor law
instead Of conining themselves to tn
true issue, and thereby lost thousands G
of votes. ss
At the Presidential election they vii
] have no side issues-but standing upol
the one great issue, and feeling that con
fidence, the consciousness of being in th
right always gives, they will undoubtedl.
achieve a glorious victory.
/ Another thing not to be overlc oked, i
! the partthat Ohio has acted in this con
test, andtbe effect her example will hav
upon these two States, standing betweel
them with her thirty or fifty thousan,
majority on the side OF Fremont and free
dom; the moral force of the example wi
90 for to strengthen and encourage tn
weak and wavering, and inspire then
with a just confidence in their cause.
+ We repeat then, that we see no goo
reason why Republicans should be dis
heartened. Our cause is just, and W
can by proper exerton achieve gloriou
triumph over the Slave oligarchy and it
dougbfaced minions ofthe north, on til
4th of November next.
