LINCOLN soRGAN Arrrn rur ELECTION.


Mr.. Lineoln's home organ, the Chicago
Democrat, Edited by Mayor Wentworth, In
its issue Of the 9Th November said
The election is over and Lincoln Is elect
ed, by larger majority of the popular vote
than was anticipated, and the electoral vote
Of every free State.
Thus not only has the contamination
which the iire-eaters OF the South have for
years proclaimed AS the inevitable prelude
to disnnion been attained, hut the job has
been done so eifeeuially, completely and
emphatically, as to leave no doubt that tho
free people of the North meant they should
be understood. When eighteen millions u
freemen speak MS they spoke on Tuesday,
they make noise that the most stupid Sc
ccssionists cannot fail to hear.
Thus the people of the free North say to
the slave oligarchy, ave will endure your
insolencc, suffer your tyranny, bear with
your assumption, no longcrl We have lis
tened TO your threats, as insulting ms they
we're oowardly, Of what you wohld do, II
We dared to carry out our convictions OF
right at the ballot-box, and elect man
who would not bow the knee to YOU and
who would place your accursed institution
the belief that II would become finally eS-
iinct."
You have sworn that if we dared to elect
such n man you would dissolve the Union.
We have elected him, and now we want You
TO try your little game of secession DO 1t
if you dare So long as you remain III the
Union, pcacablc and deccntly, you shall ell
Joy your constitutional rights. But every
man of who attempts to subvcrt this Union,
which we prize so dearly, will be hung as
high rs Hannah. We will have no fooling
about the matter "By the Eternall The
Union must be preserved"
Such is the lecture read by the people oil
of the North to their Southern brethren on
Tuesday. And now what will the chivalry
do about it.
viii they cat dirt? Will they take back
all they have said about disnnion, South
ern Confederaoy,. the rights Of the South,
the blood of their enemies, and all that sort
of thing? What will the Yanceys, the
Rhetts, the Keitts, the Jefferson Davises,
and all the noble army of traitors do? To
what dodge. will Wise, the doughty champi-
on of the Hay Stack war, resort, in order to
cover his inglorious retreat? Where is the
army with winch ne WAS 70 nhrch oh W"Sh-
ington city and seize the Federal city?
The chivalry will eat dirt. They will
back out.-They never had any spunk any
how. The best they could do was to bully,
and brag, and buster. John Brown and
his seventeen men were enough to alright
the whole mighty commonwealth of Virgin
ia out Of its proprie9, and to hold it as It
conquered province until recaptured by the
Federal troops, and tcthis day John Brown
ghost is more terrible than an army with
banners, in the eyes of every Southern cav
alier. These Knights of the sunny South
are Just such heroes as Sancho PanAa was,
They are wonderful hands at Dragging and
telling fantastical lies; but when it comes
to action, count them out.
AS if to add the last cap-stone to this ab-
surdity of dsunion buster, the telegraph
yesterday brought us the news that the'leg-
islature of South Carolina on Tuesday cleo
ted her Observation-Disclosures, and thatt hey
had concluded to postpone the arming of
the State until they had ascertained that
Lincoln was really elected Poor devils
The smallest kind Of q knot-hole will be
sufficient for them to crawl through now.
