Union armies are to vote WHICH will add
largely to this majority.
Such are the general results OF the Octo
Der Elections.
The Rebel chiefs will of course DO encour-
aged by them. Have they not right to be I!
The party that gave its every vote to reflect
Vallandgham, and which has renominaied
Ben. Wood. has made apparent gains; the
Rebels have repeatedly said that these two
were all right. but had no party behind them;
does it not lock m though they had 7 We
confess that it seems so to US. The Demo.
cratic masses do not, We trust, mean to en-
courage the Rebels; but tho leaders do. and 1t
is their purpose that tells.
That there has been no real gain to the aide that
includes all the most sympathsers with the Rebel
lion, we know; the apparent gain has been caused
by the enormous disproPortion of RePublicans and
Union War Democrats who have volunteered
! aud gone to the war. TIE Pennsylvania Army
vote last year showed this; SO did tho lllinois
Army vote last Spring; but the disproportion
of Republicans who have volunteered under
the late heavy calls is immensely larger than
before. We shall give Thirty Thousand less
majority to Gen. WadswOrth in this State
than We would if no man had gone from it
10 tue war since July. But We must make
up by energy and industry . part Of this heavy
| loss.
There is nothing new in this effect of the
War. In the War of 1912. several States
were carried repeatedly by the Federaists be-
cause Of the prepondeyapcc Of Republicans who
had volunteered for the War. The loss was,
however. but momentary. and the States came
back 10 their old faith with stronger empha.
sis on the return of their gallant sons. SO will
il be in this case. Nobody could expect that
the disciples Of Vnlandigham Cox, Ancona,
Voorhees,, &C., would volunteer in equal num-
bers with the Republican constituents Of Bing-
BAN, Gurley, Grow, Stevens, Colfax, &c. MIR.
Colfax alone loses over Three thousand ma
jority by the volunteering from biz district;
and 60 is it with others of like faith. Bat let
our Generals allow their soldiers q fair chance
to crush out the Rebels in arms against the
Government. and it will be light work there
after to deal with their virtual allies in the
Free States
That the claim Of tie Volunteers as mainly
on the right aide is well grounded, thousand
facts establish. The following data from The
Mauch Chunk Gazette (Pa.), Of the 10Th inst,
is fair sample Of them:
