New Work City Elections.

The Journal Of Commerce recalls atten
ton to the following vivid facts:
1t is not two weeks since we saw an
election conducted under radical auspices
with orators threatening to hang the op q.
posing candidates, with police officers be-
hind the polling desks, threatening voters
with draft that was never intended to
take place, aud arresting exempt old men
for daring to vote when they were too
aged to fight. 1t is not two weeks since
the New York Times leaking mob to
deprive .he American citizen of his char.
acter, his rights, his free ballot in the
State of New York. Let no attempt be
made to deny this. The men who were
calling us and our candidates traitors,
threatening us with the gallows, and hur.-
ing at us every form Of villainous epithet
were mob as much as if they had thrown
paving stones instead of words, or had
ornamented the lamp posts with pendent
conservatives, as they threatened to do.
We trust that New York will never wit
ness such scene again, to the ineffable
shame. as was this campaign on the radi-
cal side, and the election itself with po-
liceman and marshals at the polls and
the United States government at Wash
ington actually pre- tending to administer
punishment for illegal voting at New
York city election for surrogates and
supcrvi sorsl
The people need to be awake, and not
permit them mselves to be lullep into quiet
and forgetfulness by the assumed patience
of radicals who beg us now to be let alone.
We have information daily Of secret meet
ings held in this city by these same radi-
cal men, and proposals discussed in those
meetings to make governors of New York
in spite of the election by the people!-
The proposals of these men are as wild
as their heories. But their power is ended
now, if the loyal American eople stand
up for the Union and Constitution
against Northern as well as Southern en-
emies.

A FOFClbIc Illustration.

a clergyman in country church had
been, in the course of his sermon, ex-
pounding on the nature of miracles. No
sooner had the services ended, than one
of his congregation, bluff farmer, ap-
preached him, and began to thank him
Tor what he had learned in attending to
his discourse; but hoped his reverence
would pardon his asking some further
e'ucidation of the meaning of a miracle;
nothing that he had heard having tended
to enlighten his ignorance of the nature
of such an occurrence. The divine i'm
mediatel y assented, requesting the farmer
to wait in the porch till the congregation
had dispersed. In the porch according
ly, did Giles station himself, happy in
the hopes of the solution of such a mys.
terry, and was seduously watching the de-
paIture of the last loiterers in the church
yard when he was literally "taken all
back" by tremendous salute in the rear
from the well directed and vigorously ap-
piled foot of the pastor who, in reply to
the ming ed expression Of pain and won
der which burst from his diScip pie, mild
ly enquired, Whether what he hal then
received caused him any pain? "lurt me?
hurt me like thunder!" rejoined the farm
er. "Then said the clergyman in ha
most significant manner, all can tell you
is, that it would have been miracie, if
it had not.

Who is Old!

long as he can move or breathe, he will
do something for himself his neighbor,
or for posterity, Almost to the last nour
of his life, Washington was at work.
SO was Franklin and Young, and How

never decayed. No rust marred their
spirits. 1t is a foolish idea to suppose
that we must lie down and die because

EOVciOy at the Battle OF VulI

The Louisville Journal, of Nov. 9TH has
he following ofI.oveioy, whose defeat was
hoped for, as one OF the most pestilent
of the Abolition breed
1--WE have learned from the high
est authority a little incident in rc-
gard to Loveoy that may be worth tell
ing. Lovcjoy was locker on at the first
battle Of Bull Run, When our troops
were in full and percipitate retreat, the
day having been hopelesSlY lost, he rode
up to a, Federal officer who had fought
with terrible desperation throughout the
battle, and who has since won a Major
Generalship in still bloodier battle, and
obtruded upon him some advice as to the
conduct of the retreat. The officer paid
no attention to his remark, not even
seeming to hear him. The pertinacious
Loveioy then said, i think you don't
know me- Yes, do know you, Owen
Lovejoyp replied the officer ferccly. Il
know you we'll But for you, and such
as you, these calamities would never have
come upon us. Get out of my way, and

hearted scoundrel'-and here the officer

"Tnai,s what's the Matter"

We have at last found the true organ
of this popular phrase, in the following,
clipped from an exchange. 1t is too good
to be lost:
A friend of ours, who had been absent
all winter, returning a few days since,
called upon an estimable lady friend. He
wGs surprised to find her confined to sick
bed. After the first solutions were over,
our friend remarked "Why, Mrs. u
what is the matter?" Quickly reaching
over to the back of the bed, the invalid
turned down the coverlil, disclosing a
beautiful infant, wrapt in the embraces of
the rosy god, and said triumphantly,

own fingers. She was born on the DIST

Tn Mr.. Lincoln's Inaugural Message he

volving the question of his power:
apprehension seems to exist among
the people Of the Southern States that by
an accession Of Republican Administra-

personal security are to be ndangered.-
There has never been any reasonable
cause for such apprehension. Indeed the
most ample evidence to the country has
all the while existed and been open to
their inspection. 1t is found in nearly
