A DmIcAre LEGAL Torcn.-Not very far
from Cen;ral New Jersy lived two young law
yers, Archy Brown and Tom Hall.--Both were
fond of dropping in at Mr. Smiths of an eve-
ming, and spending an hour or two with his on.
ly daughter Mary. One evening when Brown
and Miss Mary had discussed almost every top
ic, Brown suddenly, and with his sweetest tones,
struck out as follows:
"Do you think, Mary, you could leave your
father and mother, your pleasant home here,
with all its ease AMI comforts, AMI 60 to the
Far West with young lawyer, who has but
little besi les his profession to depend upon, and
with him find out IL new home, which it should
he your joint duty to boautify and make delight
fiji like this"
Dropping her head softly on his shoulder she
answered, think could, Archy."
"Well,' sail he, in changed tone, and
Strengthening himself up, "there's Tom Hall is
going West, and wants to get wife, I'll just
mention it to him"

THE LATE ELECTIONS.
Reioicings of the BorderSta Union Men.

The Louisville (Ky.,) Journal, for years the
organ of Henry Clay, and always opposed to
Secession, in an article announcing the Demo-
cratic victories in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania, says:
ave do so witli-a lighter heart than We have
carried in our bosom for many weeks"
The Louisville Democrat, the organ of the
Douglas Democracy, says:
s1'he Union men of this State will hail the
result with unaloyed satisfaction. II is just
what they wanted"
The ST. Louis, Missouri Republican, exclaims:
"HAlLELuJAIi The wisdom, the judgment,
and the patriotism of the people--their ability
to govern themselves has again been asserted
in the result OF the recent elections in Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania. and we have a right to
shout HAILELuJAH! They have engaged in a
revolution which is to work out their political
salvation, and to bring back all the States to a
glorious Union--frst, in discarding, as they arc
doing now, the faithess servants who have
brought these monstrous troubles upon the
country and putting in their places men who
will seek assduously to aid the President in the
adoption of such measures as will ensure the
restoration of Peace and the Union of the
States
"No political revolution has ever been ac-
complished under equally adverse circumstan-
ccs, and yet no revolution was ever more thor
ough and astonishing than that which was a.
c.,.;eved by the people on Tuesday last. No
army vet niarshalcd in the field against the reb
el hosts could have hoped, in its most sanguine
movements, for SO splendid victory victo-
ry, too, achieved without the loss OF single
life without an extraordinary excitement
without the expenditure of hundred of millions
of money--but simply by the aid of the BAL
Lor-Box--that mute instrument to which we
have been referred by Gen. Mcclellan for the
settlement of all our political and sectional diff
1erenccs; AMI to which, if Southern States and
Southern congressman had been true to them
selves and the Union, the appeal would not
have been made in vain!--
