TE,c prosDecs Before us.

1t is not to be supposed that the cleo
fion of Abraham Lincoln as President OF
these United States-conspicuous aud
glorious triumph as it is-wlli at once
restore the country to political harmony
aud quiet, though we are convinced that
the agitation raised in the South will
gradually and surely subside into peace.
We shall hear something, indeed, of the
secession and disunion projects with which
the ultra anti Republicans in the South,
and their s%ervile organs in this City, late
" attempted to frighten US into the aban-
donu.cnt of our principles and our rights.
But we trust that what talk we do hear
of this sort will end in no acts that are
not well considered and deliberately PIE
pared. Vehement resolutions OF South

Conventions, ard even the meeting OF the
same, may naturally influence, as hther-
to, the local politics Of the States which
take part in them, without, of necessity,
seriously affecting the integrity of the
Union.
But the Republicans must prepare
themselves TO encounter something much
more formidable-a combination Of all

developing the fact that the American
people have been true to their natural
love of freedom. Here is the solid Re-

in the Legislature, thus securing the re
election of Judge Trumbull to the Z. S.
Senate. The popular majority for Pres
ident is about $4,000. In Wisconsin all
the Republican members of Congress are
elected, and the State gives $4,000 to
10000 majority for Lincoln.
In this State the plurality of Lincoln
is about 10000, and his majority about
$4,000 over all others. The keystone
noblv vindicates her choice for free over
slave labor. LincoIn's plurality in New
York is about $4,000.
Altogether the victory is one of stu
pendous grandeur, not only in its result
but in its influence on the world at large.
