Ron on The Bang

We reviewed yesterday the most cheering
letters from the counties of Loudoun, Pres
ton and Monongalia, of the onward progress
of the Lincoln and Hamiin cause in those
localities. The people want tickets, and
even campaign documentsI at this late
day, and write that the feeling for ..old
Abe" is rising daily, as it becomes more
and more certain that be win be elected.
Men who had not much backbone to
commence with, are acquiring more, aud
stifeniug up and taking open aud decided
ground for the Republican candidates.
If We had month more to go on, there
would be such smashing and breaking
up and going under, in the "orthodo1"
ranks in many of the interior counties,
that people would all be in fog as to
where they belonged any more.

TEE Syracuse IN. " Journal tells
story about a prominent business man and
Office holder of that city, who, leaving
home in hurry, hurried to his counting
room and obtained from his partner sufi-
Gent money to cover his expenses-the
bills being taken from a package just re-
ceived by mail. On his way home on the
cars he met special mail agent, Bull, who
said to him, "Perhaps your firm has re-
ceived a package of money that you could
not account for ''Not to my knowledge,

struck our townsman to consult his wallet
and upon doing so, Col. Bull ipstantly
recognized in it a part of the bogus monev
ne had sent in the decoy package. The
Syracusan in his hurry had taken thirty
or forty dollars of the counterfeit bills
and had passed all but FIVE or six dollars
OF them upon ticket agents and hotels
The mistakes were recti6ed. but the syra-

Iris often observed. that diherentpreach-
ers deduee very different lessons from the
same text. We have been somewhat. in
terested in observing what lessons the
various anti-Republican parties draw from
the results of the recent elections. They
all evidently perceive that they are in
very forlorn situation. They see that
their hopes of success are exceedingly
slender. But they have very different
places for escape from their deplOrable
, condition. and attribute the victory of the
ReDu6licans to various causes. The
Breckenridge men say that it is clear that
the Douglas men have no strength in the
North, as they have been so signally de-
feared in that old stronghold. They,
therefore, think that Mr.. Douglas ought to
be warned BY his recent failures to give
way to Breckinridge. The friends of the
Illinois Senator, on the other hand, de-
clare tina, the Breckinri6ge men have aided
the Republicans, and have SO little strength
! in the North that they fear TO expose their
weakness by running separate tickets
Thev feel sure that, if The South would
ONLY waive its adhesion TO Breckiuridge
ard come out boldly fer Douglas, the
country might yet be saved to them. The
tBeIl men of the South say that the elections
prove that Democracy is defunct in the
North, and that the..only way TO defeat Lin
coin is TO induce both the Democratic can
didates to withdraw, and leave the field
clear to Lincoln and Bell. There are
some men stupid enough to believe that
such an arrangement is possible The
Bell men at the North are so ''dumbfound'
cd by the shock they have received, that
they have hardly been able to moralize a
all. They see that in Pennsylvania ant
New York they have sold out and got no
thing, and the prospect of nothing in re
turn. They appear to be somewhat in
state of disgust with themselves and Wit
everybody and everything. But all thes
parties are talking about the awful respon
sibility which rests on somebody. TIL
South sees an awful responsibility Resin
. on the North, and the North as plainly see
it resting on the South, and while they al
settling the question of responsibility: an
, what the result of the recent election
makes it incumbent on them to do. we b.
lieve the Republicans will cut the Gordia
knot for them by quietly assuming the r
=, spousibility and placing Abraham Linco
in the Presidential chair. We beg o
= embarrassed opponents, then, to cheer
= They will soon be relieved of these rex
- tious matters. A few days more, and tn
need not trouble themselves.

Tnr Norfolk correspondent of the Wortd

TIE Norfolk correspondent OF the HoFto
says that there are few secessiontsts in his
quarter of Virginia. He gives the follow
ing statement Obout the ofheehOlders:
ttof all classes in the South, the Office
holders seem most interested in the result
of the pending presidential election
Most, if not all of them. devoutly pray for
Lincoln's success, believing that in his
election they have an uudoubted guaran-
tee of another official term Under Lin
coins administration, 1t is presumed no
Southern man would be an applicant for
office, and Of course no Northern man
would have the temeritY to accept office
in Southern State even if rendered TO
him. The odium which an outsider would
incur in the South by soliciting an office
and accepting it if offered to him, would
not attach to the present incumbent, mas
much as he is in possession, and not, tech
uically speaking, an applicant. In order
10 heighten this odium. and with view,
no doubt, to scare of all troublesome
competitors, many of the present incutn-
bents repudiate the very idea of continu-
/ ing in Office under Liucoln's administra-
ton, when it is well known that very few
of that class throughout the whole South
ern country contemplate resigning.'
