The Election-Mornl Observations on the
~ Same.
We have the qualification to announce that
the labor Of election is over, and the coun-
fry is as well as could be expected. The re-
cult is gratifying to all parties, unless it may
he to our Bell-Everett friends, and we doubt
not that even they will in the course of
few days find some consolation in the con-
sciousness of mere existence. To begin with
the richest official plscer-the county officers
the Democrats have gained from the Re-
publicans the Sheriff. and Auditor, and have
elected their candidate for Probate Judge.
TIE Republicans have gained the Clerk,
Commissioner and have elected their Prose-
cutting Attorney, Surveyor Coroner and
Director of In6rmary.
II is something Of falling off for the Re-
publicans, but considering that it is the first
time they have travelled on their own muscle,
without the aid of fusion, it is pretty
well. The spoils of victory will, of
course, be transferred to the Conquerors,
Leaving much "ue Vicds" The "dead
SheriR's advertisements, which have
maintained the party independence Of the
Commercial, and the Auditors printing,
which has contributed to the final persever-
sEee Of the G6zefte, will now be transferred
TO the support of true Democratic principles
and those papers will be'relieved from what
has created an ancient and fsh-like smell in
the party, which even the odor of the bar
rels Of coal-oli which have been burned in
incense on the altar of our country could not
neutralize.
For Representative, Mr.. Pendleton is re-
elected in the First District, and Mr.. Gurley
in the Second. Having signifed our assent
to this eonsummation heretofore, there is
nothing more to be said. The county has
two coed Representatives; let us be thankful
for such mercies
The Republican State Ticket is undoubt-
edlyelected. Unless eur Bell-Everett friends
have done better in other parts of the State
than here, where they made most impress
ion on the ear, they have not exhibited a
balance of power sufficient to enable them
to prevent the Douglas Electoral Ticket from
kicking the beam, if they should have ever
so large place on it. On the vote for Judge
of the Supreme Court, which we supposed
would bring out their full strength, they
added but about 5000 to the Democratic can.

At this writing the probability is that the
representation in Congress from this State
will stand about as before, but the dispatches
which will go out with this may show some
change.

with ponderous events. Pennsylvania and
Indiana have given Republican majorities,
which are regarded as insuring them for
Lincoln. These are the great strategic
points in the Presidential campaign. With
these safe for the Republicans, a vast change
in the Government looms up in the future
Already we may imagine the President a:

.anapreparing to evacuate the premises. From
that the Imagination stretches toward the
vast horde of Government officials, more ter
rible than the Grand Army of the Russiar
Campaign, and more terribly routed, fyinl
in CONSERVATION all over our country, AM
from every land on which the sun shines
and dying official shrieks, like England
reveille, coursing with the sun and circling
the earth with one continuous strain o
official walls. The widest imagination car
not compass the picture. No wonder that
dissolution seems light remedy.
Pennsylvania is the great strategic poin
of the political quadrangle, from an amiabl'
weakness which she has of yielding to
consideration when presented in prope
form. With any moderate majority, Penn
sylrania is vulnerable, by the requisite ap
-pliances. In 1856, Pennsylvania saved tn
Union by turning back the Republican host
although the means by which it was don
caused severe pangs in the venerable MI
Buchanan, which he relieved by his pa
thetic Duquesne letter. With only mod
crate majority, she is regarded as pregnab
to the usual munitions; but majority
twenty OF twenty-five thousand, such as Il
Republicans now talk of is quite beyond Il
amount that any prudent man would like
risk. And, as for Indiana, when tho
