Our Nsvember Eleetions-The Voice ot
the Enparc state.

Our great Northern popular revolution OF
1862, of which the first positive indicatioas
were furnished in tie haino elections Of Sep
tember. and which gathered volume and mo-
mentunl in the October elections of Pennsylva-
MIA, Ohio and Indiana, has eliminated In our
November elections. and especially In the
tremendous reaction of public opinion in our
Empire State. Without recaptulating here
the wonderful changes developed in our popu-
lar vote, we may safely assume that they indi-
cate the complete extinguishment Of the one
hundred thousand republican majority Of last
year, and the election of Seymour as our next
Governor by handsome majority.
Nor have we any doubt that the democratic
Union conservative gains for Congress in New
York, New Jersey and Illinois have Sc
cured the next House Of Representatives against
our disorganizing, disunion abolition radicals
by substantial working majority. The con-
servative vote of this city has been 80 over
whelming that IL has carried everything along
with it for Congress identified with the popu-
lar demand for change of men and measures
at Washington, without stopping to discrimi-
nate upon the special merits or demerits Of
individual candidates. The ono great para
mount idea Of an emphatic and impressive
popular verdict against our corrupt and rcck-
less abolition faction, which has undertaken to
rule or ruin the nation, is the secret of the as
tonishing results of these elections.
Such is the meaning of these astounding mani
festations from our loyal States and from this
imperial city, the head and front and main rcli-
ance OF the government in the prosecution OF
this great war for the Union. They do not
mean that the war shall be ended in an igno-
mnious and ruinous peace, involving division
Of the Union into two Independent confedera-
cies, but that the war shall be prosecuted for
the maintenance of the Union, and for nothing
else; that the malign abolition influences which
have brought defeats and disasters to our armies
where we should otherwise have been crowned
with victory, and that the RADICAL Marplots
who, in Congress and in the Cabinet, have
caused the squandsring of hundreds Of millions
Of money and the needless sacrifice of thou
sands Of our brave soldiers, shall be henceforth
repudiated by President Lincoln. He is thus
admonished by the people of our loyal States
that his own sound and patriotic war policy,
which they approved in 1861, they now readirm
against our abolition fanatics.
But how is this new Congress to reach the
Legislation of the general government in sea-
SON for any practical good! Under the regular
course of things, the present Congress, which
lasts till the 4th Of March next, will pass all
the legislative measures for the support and
direction of the executive government for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1864. The new
Congress, unless specially convened by the
President, does not meet till December, 1863,
and in the interval we must have this rebellion
crushed; for such IL the voice Of these late
elections. How then is our new House of
Representatives, fresh from the people, to give
its counsels to the President in their behalf?
We know Of no better method than an infor
NAL meeting Of the members Of the new Con-
gress, after the fashion Of the late Altoona con-
ference of the Governors of our loyal States.
Accordingly we suggest an informal meeting of
the peoples newly elected representatives,
in order that they may agree upon q series of
recommendations and declarations Of tho gene
raj policy which they believe would meet the
cordial support Of our loyal people. Let
meeting of this character be held in this city
before the reassembling of Congress, and it
may contribute much to aid the President in
the recommendations Of his annual message
and in the important work Of reconstruction
of his Cabinet.
The State of New York has given the finish
ing blow to our radical abolitionists at the
ballot boxes. They must now be removed into
the background. Their overthrow will revive
the hopes of the Union men of the South, and.
with the dispersion Of the rebel army of vir-
ginia, we may now expect general Southern
reaction in favor of the Union, which will
speedily end this rebellion.
