TIE OCTOBER ELEcTIoNs.-The Off
cnl vote ia the October elections is more
favorable to the Union cause than was re-
ported when the elections were held. In
Pennsylvania, while the opposition candi-
date for canal commissioner is elected by
over 5000 majority, the Union majority on
the Congressional vote in the whole State
is 623l. There is falling off Of the total
vote of both parties, which shows there is
no real gain to the secesh democracy. 1t
should be mentioned that the democrats in
Grows district, do not pretend to have made
much gain, Tor they say they have only sue
eeeded in defeating a g Wilinot man" by
electing similar man in his place. In
deed, we see ty one secesh paper in Penn
sylyania, Grows successor is already de-
nounced rs unsoundl If, therefore. we
have elected war democrat in Grows dis
,rict, we are just as well OF as though
Grow himself had been elected. In Ohio,
ths secesh Gained sympatliizing majority
Of from $4,000 to 10000. but the official
canvass Of the votes, has already reduced
to little over 5000. which in 50 large a
vote IS very small. The same Is also true
in Indiana. 1t Is therefore evident that
there has been no particular change in any
of these States, and The reiaru Of the sol.
diers win set them an right.

Mr.. Winder of Philadelphia. who is in

a poor show as martyr, for itappears from
his petition to the Circuit Court that he has
twice refused to accept his liberty on the
simple conditions Of taking the oath of al
legiance, bat he demands his release with
out any test or condition. Mr.. Winder, it
is said, has two brothers in the rebel army.
The liberty which he is deprived of is the
liberty to curse the Government under
which he lives and to render moral if not
material aid and comfort to his rebel friends

c. The people should not be deceived
by the persistent efforts of the rebel SYM
pathizers to pervert the result Of the late
elections. The election Of Urion demo
crat is very different thing from one Of
the ultra secesh stripe; and IN many in
stances, the opposition have put up true
meu 10 secure the vote of the loyal masses.
For instance, in Massachusetts they run
Gen. Devens for governor, and on the Gath
of October he tote that he supported
the presidents proclamation fully and hear
lily" In the same letter he also said
(" The great masses who fill our arni~s are
resolute TO save the government, and let
slavery take whatever fate may come TO If,
and that fate must be its destruction, unless
we let the south conquer" And yet he
was the candidate Of the Massachusetts, de-
mocraey, against Gov. Andrew.

overwhelming Union victory. However
other states may hesitate, she fal;ers not
The result is one which her sons at home
and abroad may point to with pride. The

the result -" T., traordinary means were

it in the state, made haste 10 merge itself
into new movement, and thus supplied
suddenly aggregated opposition, embracing
the widest range of materials, with all the
tactics and engineering talent of the Oldest
party in the country. But all in vain.-
The people saw through the disguise, and
stamped it with their overwhelming rep
robartion. Thank Heaven that Wehster's

voice, where its youth was nurtured and

cilmen, and all of the members of congress

who is succeeded by Mr.. Sleeper, formerly

against the regular Union candidate, will
vote on all important measures in congress

A good story is revamped here, nova days,
for political purposes, which. as it illustrates
the religions erudtion Of many of our pub
lie men, may as well be sent round the
country to fit whom il may. In is new edi-
ton the story runs that one Of tile members
of Congress, frem Long Island, ~hi'e in
Washington and conyetsing somewhat sol
EMMY with party Of senators and Com
gressmea, was fatty met by doubt on the
part Of cue OF the senatnrs as to his sutf-
cient familiarity with the Bible to enable
him to repeat the Lords prayer. Of course
the member took in high dudgeon this
impeachment of his moral status, and stoutly
asserted his ability to say the said prayer,
4or any othor man." The senator hacked
his opinion by little money and offered
TO bet five dollars on the point at issre.
The stakes being put up and silence Sc
cured, the naiigned member squared him
SELF for the task and putting on his seberest
look began as folows:-
"Now lay me down to sleep,
pray the Lord my soul to keep, Csc
Living finished the stanza, he put forth
his hand for the five dollars, upon which the
senator remarked, /" had no idea that
you could do it," and rylinqnished the
stakes claeeftully, without thought that he
knew even less about the Lords prayer
than the member himself. CT course there
was some hilarity among the auditors at
the result Of the wager, and the winner of
'ile bet will probably announce himself as
the Bible candidate before;the end Of the
present canvass. There are those who are
uncharitable enough 10 suggest lis acting
upon the principle version CT the prayer.
and "lay him down to sleep politically.

Design of The Democrats TO Overthrow the
Government.

Design OF The Democrats TO overthrow sns
Government.
At the democratic meeting ia PhiiaGel-
phia on Friday evening, 10 rejoice over the
recent democratic successes, Mr.. Charles
Ingersoll, one of the leaders of the party
in Pennsylvania, used the following signif-
cant and startling language -
g To what advantage are we TO turn our
successes? One Of the first things is the
putting down Of the federal government"
We copy from the report in the Phila-
delphia Ledger, neutral paper with derao-
cratic tendencies. The reasonable utter
ance of Mr.. Ingersoll brings to mind the
fact that Francis w. Hughes, the chairman
of the Breckenridge deaoci attic comnaittee,
encouraged the secessionists by plainly in
timating, early in this rebellion, that, If the
fifteen slave states successfully established
another confederaey, the glorious old Key
stone State, by joining its fortunes thereto,
might become its great manufacturing work
shop, her cities become the great cosamer-
cial depots aad distributing points for the
confederacy, and her wealth, population ant
glory, be promoted in degree unparalle'
in the history and prosperity of any PEG
pie. This traitorous suggestion was mad
in resolution which was offered to til
democratic state central committee Of Penn
sylvania.
