ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the hardy son of
honest toll, the illustrious champion of
free labor, free speech, free press, free
mails, free soil, free men and free ter
ritories, and the appropriate candidate
of the FREE STATES, is elected to
the Chair of WASHINGTON, by a com
handing majority of the Electoral Col
lege, and a majority of the popular
votes of the Free States~of some four
hundred thousand over the traitorous
author of the notification of the Mis-
sour Compromise! The glorious de-
tails will be found elsewhere.
Even Illinois has rendered her con-
demnatory verdict against the traitor
to the Free States, by majority of
probably not less than Fifteen
Thousand! Counting Oregon as
certain for. Lincoln, the Free States
have with the possible exceptions of
New jersey and California; ugani.
moiiisly1 sentenced Stephen A. Douglas
to political DEATH, and executed the
sentence most efectually! whilst the
Slave States, so far as heard from,
unite in awarding and inficting the
punishment. Whilst they have slowed
the treason" they have /" despised the
traitor" and heartily join with those
he has betrayed, in consigning him to
"that bourne" whence he, at least. can
never return! They found he had
been serving them only for the reward
of the treason, and justly inferred
that he would as readily betray them
whenever tempted by any thirty pieces
of silver to do SO; and have everywhere
cast him off for their own men, Bell and
Breckinridgel There is large meas
ure of poetic Justice in the fact that
the traitor has been scourged on his
way to his political grave by the cat
.o-aipe tails of the Slave Power.
Next to this, the most gratifying fea-
ture of the great triumph, the crown
ing glory of the whole. is the fact that
we. have won the victory against and
over a combination of villainies, an
enormous system of interviewer, COM
pounded, complicated scoundrelisms,
hitherto unknown and unimagined i'm
American politics! The locofoco lies
and hbelling against Republicanism,
Republican administrations Officers and
candidates, with which the locofoco
organs and speeches in Michigan have
been filed during the whole canvass,
are but specimen of the lies ard libel
ling with. which the locofoco organs
and speeches have abounded every
where. Every where, and particularly
within the last four weeks, the locofoco
organs have been filled with threats Of
dissolution of the Unionin ase the
people of the Free States should dare to
vindicate their constitutions al rights by
electing Abraham Lincoln; have been
orammed with treason, of which the
following from the Detroit Free Press
published just before the election is a
specimen s t
"Jxst so sure as the sun of Imesduu
nert shall set upon the election of Abra-
ham Lincoln and black republican
majority in the House of Representa-
tives, dissolution piH ensue."
But we have not now space to review
in detail, the villainous agencies en-
ployed to defeat MS. The money po,cer
has been everywhere employed against
us. Probably not less than one million
dollars was raised in the city of New
York alone, and used directly and in
directly, but always corruptly, to secure
support tothe Fusion tickets in the State
OF New YORK and adjoining States
In this county, this same money
power held by some of the candidates
upon the locofoco county ticket, was
unscrupulously nsed, along with most
indecent calumnies and general lying,
to compass more particularly the elec
fiOn of the lOcofoco candidates for
State Senator, Judge of Probate ali.
Prosecuting Attorney, in which they
have been assisted by few pretended
Republicans and by these means the
majorities of the Republican candidates
fbr these eficess have been considera-
bly, reduced.
