LINCOLN ELECTED.

Abraham Lincoln is elected President Of
the United States, by tho people. TO US
this result is not unexpected, and in the
present position Of parties is not even mat
ter Of roSrce.
This result is one Of the bitter fruits Of
President Buchanan's treachery to the Dem
ocratic party; which treachery commenced
when he ignored the platform upon which
he was elected and adopted the Lccompton
fraud as an administration measure. From
that day to this that intolerant and ma lig-
nant old man has borne this awfnl sin upon
his head and with hateful malice has; while
feeling that he was wrong, cndeavored to
to break down all who did not yield implicit
obedience to his dictation. .r
Mr.. Douglas saw fit to differ with him.
He could not do otherwise without being
false to tho professions Of his life and the
honest convictions Of his heart and head.
Then the President commenced his warfare.
The cdict went forth that he must be put
down as rebel, not to the principles Of the
Democratic party, but to James buchanan.
This single man thought he could control the
Democratic masses. Poor fool! he might
contr ol his servi!e Office holders and the en-
vious pack Of Senators, who chafed at the
superior emineEce Of Douglas, but the un-
bought Democratic people he could never
move from their principles and their love OF
the great Representative Of those principles.
The President commanded his slaves to
work to defeat the nomination Of Mr.. Doug
las. but backed by all the power Of the ad-
lninistra' ion they signal!y failed. The aid
Of the cnvious Senatorial Clique was unef-
fcctivc. In spite Of them Mr.. Douglas was
nominated.
They then attempted to defeat him by
defeating the Democracy in all the Northern
States, except New York; hoping thereby
to elect Breckenridge or Lane in the House
or Senate. They attempted to deiraud the
people out Of their choice in that way. They
spent money profusely. The plot failed
and it is we'll.
The defeat Of Douglas is accomplished
but the utter overthrow of the boilers comes
with it. The President could have averted

We hope this sound Of public soorn will
reach the ears Of the lesser traitors whom
this campaign has unmasked-that precious
bevy OF corrupt senators, the rotten tail end
Of the ranks, reaching aud including, Indian,
and Minnesota. These men have sloughcd
