The last hope Of the Fusionists and Cor

we write. the electric wires are conveying
the gratifying intelligence to all parts oi
our beloved country, that the Empire State

The probability now is, that ever ee
State has given Republican msjorities, and
such majorities as have never before been
heard Of in our Political contests.
From the rock-ribbed coast Of Maine to
the golden shores Of the Pacific. one un-
broken shout Of victory sttests the strength
and provess Of party that six years ago.
Planting itself upon the eternal rock Of
Principle, has gallsntly eOntended for the

rufisn violence, could influence them in
the discharge Of their duties to themselves.
their friends. their families. and their
country.
We write this with no feelings of un-
kindness to those who have honestly dif-
fered from US in opinios. either as respects
details of public policy, or to the best
means of redeemirg the country from the
hands Of the corrupt leaders who were en-
deavoring to precipitate it into the vortex
OF dlsunion and civil war /; all such people
must now see that the policy advocated by
the Republicans party, has been eminently
just and conservative, eminsntly pure and
patriotic. and emineDtly polite withal ; no
other course could have rallied the masses

that had characterised as a nation, had not
been attended by corresponding senti-
ment Of attachment to the great principles
of truth and justice enuncisted by the Fs

hut the result Of this election, proves be-
yond doubt, that only an occasion is want
cd TO develop in our breasts the same love OF
liberty. and the same regard for humanity,
which suinsted our Revolutionary auces-
tors. through the horrors Of seven years
war.
One Of the most gratifying results OF
this contest 10 the lesson II will teach poll

are the servants, not the masters OF the
people. and that when they undertake the
task Of subduins them, they had better put
their house in order, and prepare for @
nal exit from public life.
We will nsw venture the prediction. that
all those Disunionists aud Traitors. who
have been thresteusug to destroy this Gov =
srpmsnt in the even, Of Free People ex
ercising their right to vote according to
their reason and judgment. will, them
selves be consigned to political Oblivion
so deep. and to an ob,cur:iy so profound,
that no resurrecting hand will ever reach
them o.. this eide Of the grave.
