FROM THE ALLFGHAEIEs.

STANDING SroyE. Oct. -, le0O.
Douttins not that word Of cheer
from the pure air Of the mountains Of Pennsylvania
would be 4 pleasant sound 70 the citizens OF your
Gree born State, just before they strike
the final blow for free North, have con
ciudcd after months Of silence to tell you and them
that you may expect from our state
Our Ides of october fell with crushing foreo
upon the shattered fragments Of the heretofore
| "Unterrifed Democracy" as they love to be
called During all the active part Of our Gubsrna-
! tional campaign, all the elements, whether they
were the still adhering worshippers Of the Old de-
| Fupct or the Jealous devotees to the Popular
| Sovereignty Dodger or the pious and pure hSaI-
ers for the p4y who seemed SO Jealous about saw
/ inc the Union, the Bell Everett party,--ah both
great and small were 50 happy in the prospect Of
their approaching triumph over the people that it
| is not to be wondered at that they seem nearly
lifeless. All day during our election, they were
as merry as bride on her bridal morn and IN
til the first fash Of lightning gave evidence Of
| their fate then every man went 90 his bed /;
and fo7 several days they were all so busy that
you could hardly find one cf them. Each had
taken 10 his fell O. 70 his mercban5ze if there
! had been no election.
| The people had arisen in their might, and swept
! from them everything even Hope that dim white
sail on q distant sea, had disappeared, and
the calmuess Of despair settled upon
the few Breckinriiso men and Union savers
I rIra~fr1
with curse at the disorganizers, they said it was
good enough for them and that they knew that
the North had stood all that sho could bear, and
here and there one would say, More than she
ougb, 20 bear
But the storm haz swept over them, and they
now arc again trying to re form their defeated
and disheartened followers and some even talk
IS if there was really to be another contest All
the crazy eervescence from the heads Of Southern
editors Is published now, TO prove that Lincoln
should be elected by the people, then the South
would at once withdraw from the Union and Of
course it would be dissolved. Only once elect him
President. they say, and the Union is Destroyed
Our People now answer. we once gave jackson
and Calhoun. both Southern men, a majority Of
so 900. They were elected, and the Union was
DO. dissolved And il nor the election Of fvo
Northern men will dissolve tit is time We knew
it. And if the thing ''has got to b. fsf now is
as good time as any There are no terriers here
On the subject The fret and fGms Of the HotsPurs
have los. their power. Pennsylvania Will send up
her voice with the echo 4 another 50 600 major
ity, that the North las submitted until further
submission is disgrace.
The doubtful votes are now al for "5ll Abe !
The honest Americans no longer 90 for Bell and /
Everett lit no use they say. The calm. thinkers
among the Democracy say, well, believe a !
change will DO US good. And everywhere the /
same spirit moves the masses on to victory.
Boys Of the Green Mountains, The victory Is .
already won, The Keystone State and her [
honest sons will challenge you to do nobler work
than they Up through the long night Of Loco .
Foco misEuIe and deception they viii come, and /
give their thousands to the light Of better days.
The Republican spirit Of her early history has
been aroused, and row she viii rise with the
Proudest in her struggle for the right. We mean
here to add Thousands to our late majority. Will
not you de so too Do not fail to vote, every
man. We need the votes Of the People as we'll as of
the Electors to give & majority and power to cur
triumph. Pennsylvania will set you an example.
Let your majority be worthy of the State that
builds school houses and raises men"
