NO.S4.

| The States which voted for Fremont are
certain for LINCOLN No sane man
| doubts usat fact The Free States which
did not vote for hin are Pennsylvania,
New. Jersey, Indiana, Illinois. and Cali
foruia. Oregon has since been admitted.
! In each Of these State, the Democrats
party will have two electoral tickets If
there were but one, there might be some
doubt as to the result; but, divided, as
the vote will be. no man, in his sober mo-
ments, doubts the result. One hundred
and fifty two electoral votes will elect
Mr.. LINCOLN will receive the vote of ev-
ery Free State, except California, giving
him 1921 more than sufficient to elect
him.
These facts are the prelude to bright
and glorious day for our country. Thas
day, indeed, is already breaking; the
beams of light are already bursting upon,
our vision.
1t is said. however, that Col. Lawrence
NJ Keitt of South CaIoliDa, and a Mr..
Yaneey of Alabama, intend blowing the
"Union sky high" Gas John Randolph
used to say, if Mr.. LINCOLN should be
elected; aud that be should not be inaug-
urated.
No doubt these gentlemen are very
great mcn--at least in their own opin-
ions, but it is nevertheless true that great
er men sometimes have made fools of
themselves. How far these gentlemen
have succeeded in that respect, let the

This is Government of Law. No
matter who may be legally elected, the
patriotism and loyalty of the people of
all sections will see that the Inauguration
shall take place. Any threats to the con-
trary are too silly to be seriously noticed.
But the Disunionists say that Mr.. LIN
COLIN will be unable to carry on the Gov
ernment, because no gentleman in tbS
Southern States will accept office at his
hands. There need be no fear on that
account Even the Democracy of that
section of the country, so affected with
the oHiceholdiDg mania as they are, would
not refosel
A few days after the Inauguration of
Gen. Jackson, procession of Office seek
ers was formed in this city to wait upon
him for Office. Major NoAH-then q

Gated that be lived upon the fat of the
land-Opposed being placed at the head,
because, he said, it would make the ie-
preston on the old General that they did
not need Office. He insisted that it should
be led by Amos Kendell, lean, Cassius
sort of man!
Soon after the 4th Of next March, the
people of Washington may look out for
long procession of Office seekers from the
South, more numerous than the loeusts
which infested Egypt. Look at them as
they come across the Long Bridge, head
ed, it may be, by Parson BroWnlow. (aD-
other lean Cassius), singing as they come
with but slight alterstion) a favorite
hymn of that distinguished divine, COM

"O6ice! o the joyful sound,
What pleasure to our earsi
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for all our fears.p
Seriously, there will be no trouble on
that point Mr.. LINCOLN will not only
select portion of his Cabinet from the
South. but will find good and true men
all over the Union to hold and to perform
the duties of all the local Offices.
So fair and just will be the new Ad-
ministration to all portions of the coun-
try, that all opposed to Democratic poll
oy, everywhere, will be its supporters
1t will be revival Of the era of good
feeling which characterized the Admins
trations of the early Presidents. and the
