The citizens OF Lancaster have earnestly come up

Stevens is elected to Congre.s by 3,lOO majority
over Hopkins. Mr.. Buchanans special friend.
Since the Presidents visit to Lancaster on private
business his Lirelngs have labored with indefatgabe
erdor to do their masters will.
For these paid minions no subterfuge wastoo mean,
no slander too vile, ickery toe low to be employed
against the people candidate but neither vile SANDER
fraudulent st bemng, material aid from Washing
ton, could mslead the honest voters Of this District.
They had detern Ied to think for themselves, draw
their conclusions, pnd act accordingly and the
rcsult Of their deliberations is before you in glorious
victory, aud an ud fashioned Lancaster county ma
iority.
Ii reminds us Of good old times when political huck
sters were not yet invented and each man was HIM

crowds gathered, with ears erect TO eaten tne ms.
sound of news and the smile of hope beamed on every
couptenance; for while the Democrats han Thought
they might succeed the people had not hoped for such
q triumph.
The great falling off from the Democratic vote IN
the city though it considerably dumpcncd the ardor OF
the enemy did not discourage them. They still held
out nanly till the peoples maiorities came rushing
in from every District like al avalanche, and only
then did they the mysterious handwriting on the
wall and their knees smoe the one against the other
aud
All mute,
Pond'rirs tina danger with de- thoughts and each
IL cthei's count rsice read his own dismsy
Astonishcd."
Unable 10 speak comfort to another, they arose
and DEPARTED secretly yet sorcy lancnng the ate OF
the day; and thus many brave spirit repaired to his

As the good tdings rolling IN from every SIDE,
there was 10Y in every heart and the shout OF victory
ro-e from q Hundred voices
"Oh, such q day.
SO fought. 50 foilow'd. and fairly won,
Came uct TIL now, dignity the times"
Victory however, belongs not to Lancaster alone,
