OF the south throughout tue loyal states,
writes from Chicago on the 10th inst. to the
Press as follows
The result Of the elections in these north

of men, and win be the occasion of great

have taken some trouble 10 look into the
cause, and my only astonishment is that the
Union candidates held their own as we'll a
they did, or that as many of hem were
successful at the polls OF 100000 voters
in the army from Illinois, have no doubt
that $4,000 OF them would haye voted the
Union ticket, had they been at home. In
stance few facts in lowi. Ihere provls-

regiments, and tie result was that they yo-

: two of these commissioners, who informed
me that in one regiment the bogus democ-
; racy got FIVE votes, and 10 another sixty
votes
Here, in these states thousands who vo.
e ted with these miserable sympathzers were
carried away by the charmed name of de-
: mccracy, aud they did not intend to vote
d against the war, the government, and the
d country, as il reality they have done. The
: democratic leaders and candidates have de-
e clared themselves for the war, and promised
IS if elected, to prosecute it with more yigoI
than the party in power are doing
q Then, thousands OF what are called re
rs publican voters voted the democratic ticket
c. as "a rebuke to the administration gar polio,
" Il mean its tardy conduct of the war. Al
hands coucede that President Lincoln j
as honest and patriotic. but they complain bit
j. terly that he has exercised too much leuien
z cy and forbeararce toward the rebels. The,
IN complain that his generals in command ar
t. 100 slow--tllat the achievements on th'
I'd part of our arms have not been equal to til,
Is men and money consumed, and that th,
Sc president has consulted all Of the pariie
ut for advice, and been too much influences
by those who were either selfish in thei
y jects, or secretly in sympathy with th
Ia rebellion. The sentiment Of the real pee
pie is, that we must have change of pol.
cy, and change of men.
I'd Loud complaints are made against soE
ed of the cabinet officers for their false notion
of conservative policy. The Peop'e-ay

he One is the capture of Richmond, the oihe
no is the seizure and occupation of East Ter
'e nessee, and the other is the opening Of tn
n Mississippi to It's mouth. The loyal pee
n PIE of tine northwestern states are tar i
IN advance of the presid, mt and his eabine
q and even his amy officers. The peopl
n demand that an army shall be marche

se fiscaie the property of the rebels, f what

rally around the national standard.
