THE GREAT VICTORY.

pe1nsylvxnia Is won. The doubts and
fsars Of the Republicans OF the nation are dis
PEELED. Their labor is rewarded by the pros
pect Of triumph which ~in be bo.h splendid
and enduring. The enemy, dispirited and
broken by their rcversss, will give way, and
henceGorwa1d the march Of tho Republican
party will be enlivened BY the glowing
songs Of victory. With sieaainess and
dtmness 70. get one month, the great work
is done, a1d On the fourth Of Ma,ch ae1t, the
country, quietly submitting to the long de.
rred and necessary change Of administration,
will, under tho Lead Of that urs patriot and
honest man AnhAHAx LINCOLN, Of Illinois,
enter upon a new career Of freedom and pros.
perity. We congratulate the Republicans
upoa tho glorious prospoct-upoa the certain-
II that the government heretofore directed
By party that had but oue purpose,
and that, the extension and perpetuA-
tion Of human bondage, will become
tho eonseryator and promoter Of freedom
that the day Of flibustering for the acquisi-
ton Of soil to be cursed with slavery, is draw
ing I'd 4 close-,hat the improvement Of cur
yivers and ha1bora may be Confidently looked
for-that the much needed change in our ON
nercial system, whereby, agriculture Will be
stimulated, mining aud manufacturing Will be
enlivened a7d encouraged, il abou. 10 be inau-
Rurated-that the heconuptiors ofthe Buchanan
dynasty are to be corrected by the incoming
Of integrity md ocouomy-that peace is to be
restored to ths wa1rirg sections by a recur-
renes to the policy Of the Fathers-and that
Ill the reckless Legislation for the inter-
est Of slavery, whereby men have BEEN
uaddsned or ma3e to despair, is to be
replaced by wise and humane laws
which all may respect AID oil obey. This 8
the prospect which the victory in Psnns5lra-
MA opens and upon this We tender all parties
in tho West the patriotic congratulations
which zuch victery Gnu inspire. II this
moment Of triumph when we might safely e1-
ult over prostra:s enemy, one canpot re-
frain from pointing out apolher rsnson for ro-
,joicing which none should overlook It is
this, that tho nomines Of the party is man
of that all-embraciug patriotism, that cool
ness and courage which fits him for tho place
to which be will bs called, and for any emer-
geney that usy arise. He is not .zealot
and fanatic who will attempt by siogly blow
+, oysrturn IN institution that is interWoven
with tho industry Of half the States Of tie
Union; nor is he milk sop to be frightened into
submission to demands which are not found in
the Constitution nor in any great national re'
cessity. Ue will hold tho balance with
steady and impartial hand; and long before
his Administration closes tn Ere will be few
whs will not bless tho wise acd pacific meas
ures which will mark his sway, and this great
victory which made him the ruler snd fathe1
OF ths nation.
