From The Lancaster htelligencer.
THE GLORIOUS RESULT.

We scarcely have words to give utter
ance to the profound joy that fills our
heart at the result of the elections in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York,
New Jersey, Illinois, Delaware and Wis
cousin. For months the Democracy of
this country and State have been the vic
Tins of the most atrocious ISLANDERS and
prosecutions by the Abolition press and
Abolition leaders. Every epithet that
black hearted malice could suggest was
freely used, and charges of treason upon
the whole party were Of daily occurrence.
But what did it all avail with the incor-
ruptible masses of the people? The Abo-
litionists now, like their predecessors, the
Federalists, in the days of John Adams,
the elder, mu4zled the press they i'm
prsoned men for the liberty of speech !;
they expelled others from the country
who did not agree with them in sentiment !;
they vested extraordinary powers in the
President; they subverted the Constitu-
ton, and established a reign of terror
throughout the land; and now, as in 1900,
the Democracy have risen in the majesty
of their strength, and have taken the first
step toward expelling from power the be-
trayers of the peoples confidence.
This election marks Il new era in the
history Of the country. Let freemen re-
joice in this triumph of ours, for no bas-
tile any longer awaits to receive them for
the honest utterance of political opinions;
no suspension OF the great writ of liberty
the habeas corpusj no disregard of trial
by jury; no trampling under foot the
rights of the citizen no destruction of sa-
cred constitutional guarantees follows in
the wake ola democratic victory.
The election is an admonition to the
Administration, that under the miserable
pretense of the acdr po,oer they will not
be permitted to suspend the Constitution
and render our Government more intol-
cradle and unlimited despotlsm than Rus
STA or China. The people know no ,cor
Porer or peace poorer that can set aside
the fundamental law of the land, which is
immutably the same in war as in peace,
equally designed for adversely or prosperi-
ty.
In thunder tones have the people con-
dcmned the Abolition proclamation of Pre-
sident Lincoln and the fanatics to whose
pressure he succumbed. This verdict of
the people should put barrier to further
encroachment upon their rights. Let
Democrats rejoice, for the long dark night
Of political dcspotism is passing away, and
the bright sun OF better future is casting
his rays above the horizon. Let our peo-
pie take warning by the example of the
terrible past, and shun the knaves and
charlatans who are the authors of our aw.
full calamities In this hour of our great
triumph we cali well afford to be magnan-
imous to those who have SO shamefully
and villainously prosecuted US. Democra-
cy is always as liberal and tolerant as Alb
olitionism is tyranuical and despotic.
Let those who, like ourselves, look for
ward to a future reunion of the States,
take courage from this hour onward
One great obstacle to this desirable con-
summation has been swept out Of the way !
Abolitionism and its terrible concomitant
will no longer SOW the seed of discord and
strife-will no longer add fuel to the
flames that threatened to consume Ameri- I
can liberty We say no longer-but alas!
we forget; for unfortunately, three more
months will have to pass away, after it
convenes next December, before the most
corrupt, the most rotten and fanatical
Congress that ever disgraced nation will
adjourn sine die. Oh, that the Peoples
House which has been chosen, could meet
next December, to put curb on the crazy
wretches who have been driving the Gov
eminent to destruction
These elections are but the precursor of ,
still greater and more important ones, !
which will not only choose House of
representatives, but a President of the !,
United States, who will be faithful to his
Constitutional oaths and exert his powers
to preserve the peace and unity of the
country, in place of seeking TO divide and
destroy it. Let us humbly trust that
when that time shall arrive, we may have
a Government to save-that it may not be
utterly ruined by the folly aud wicked.
