GoD SPEED THE DAwNING-The Louis
vile Journal says eloquently and patri-
otically: "Let the true and enlightened
friends of the country rest composed. A
little time is all that will be necessary to
bring the counsels of the radicals to shame,
without irretrievable damage to the public
cause. Let patriots be of good cheer.
Whatever appearances may be, the stars in
their courses are fighting against, the ene-
mics of the country, South and North.
Abolition and secession have alike cul-
minated and both are on the wane. A
brighterday for the Union and the Consti-
tuition is at hand. 1t is breaking in glory
amidst the bullets and ballots of the free
men of the Republic. God speed the
dawaing."' ."'sEa4N = aso4ls1s

MR.YALLANDIGHAM-HOW THEY
fo s LIE ABOUT him.


Although the election is over, the Abo-
lition press still continue to lie about Mr..
VALLANDIGHAM. The Philadelphia Bal-
letin says: -.
For instance, Vallandigham, Of Ohio,
the leader of the Seeessionists in Congress,
has been defeated, althoug his district is
strongly Democratic."
There are two lies in those four lines.
Vallandigham is not and never was Sc
cessionist His new district, made by the
Abolition Legislature, never was Demo-
cratic in the history of the State, but al
ways rolled up majority of thousands
against the organization. Last year it
gave over 5000 Abolition majsrity-now
hardly one-third of that number, and that
by the basest fraud The district Mr..
Vallandigham now represents gave him
$50 majority. :. S..,...,.

JEFF. DAVIS PRAYING FOR
WADSWORTH'S ELECTION.

To the Editor of the Boston Courier:
On the boat from New York had an
opportunity of talking with a soldier from
Louisiana, taken at Antietam and pareled
He was secesh TO the backbone. Said the
South was out, and was bound to stay out
I asked him if that was the uniform opin-
ion in his army. By no means, said he
but the number in favor of the old Union
was daily growing less. and after the
Northern elections this fall there would
not be vestige left Of the Unionists. !
asked him what the elections had to dc
with it. Said he: "The Abolitionists will
carry every State, and that will settle the
conscience of every old liner in the
South. - sa
"But," said I, suppose the Abolition
lists are beaten-and there is chance for
it even in egotistical old Massachusetts,
and still better one in New York, and
almost certain one in Pennsylvania.
"Then," said he, ssit would be bad
sight for us.
"Why," said I. "indeed I don't see
it."
ssWoll," replied he, "every id

them, would then throw down their guns

was in Richmond when the papers with
the nomination came. and they all said
there could not have besn a more lucky
nomination, for Wadsworth, having been
in Washington, is known, for he will be
elected.
" The Abolitionists have got control Of
the North just as we have of the South,
and they don't want us any more than we
do them, and what persons on both sides
don't want they won't have. If Wads-
worth sheuld be beaten, and Andrew
should be beaten, and the rest Of them.
it would just show that majority Of the
North want US back in the old Union,
and there are 90 many now in the South
who want the same Al1ing, We should have
to come back. But l tell you the Abo-
litionists will have it all their own way,
and we shall have it all our way, and your
Northern old line Unionists and their re-
lssions down South will have TO cave in. !"
Much more he said, but enough On this

Union Men of Ohio-Old-Line
WIGS AND AMERICANS
t7 READ! bi1a 3 {a4 Z.

We invite the special attention of the
Oldline Wings and Americans of Ohio to
the comments of the Louisville Journal,
the organ of the Union party of Ken
tueky. on our late election. 1t says:
"The returns already received from the
elections of Tuesday, though imperfect
and not little variegated in complexion,
leave no room for doubt that the total re-
suit is great conservative victory. We
think we may safely make this annnncia-
ton; and, certainly, we do SO with light
er heart than we have carried in our bo.
som for many weeks. We shall havo more
to say of this victory when the smoke
shall have lifted itself . little higher
from the battle feld.' o
The Union men of the South carry
lighter hearts in their bosoms on account
of the Democratic victory. Who does
not rejoice in contributing to so desirable
result?
The Louisville Democrat, the other
organ of the Unionists of Kentucky, who
have made every sacrifice possible for men
to make in our cause, says: 4s.7
aThe principal features of the re-
turns of the election held last Tuesday,
says the Cincinnati Commercial ARE gains
and successes of the Democratic party
The editor then undertakes to account for
it, and does pretty well in the effort" ~
"The telegraph is modest, and don't
like to tell the whole trick about the cleo
tions. The breath has been knocked out
of the Abolition reporters by the news.
They will come to after awhile" s.
I've should like to know of editors in
the Republican interests if Democrats are
all traitors now? We don't intend to be
impertinent; but we have a curiosity to
see that question answered" ~
"The telegraph doesn't give much elee-
ton news from Pennsylvania. 1t is, per-
haps, hard for Abolition reporters to di-
gsst; but they had just as well out with
it, e9 80 i @
"Grow, Of Pennsylvania. prominent
radical Abolitionist, is beaten. The Gin
cinnati Gazette reports Colfax, of Indiana,
beaten. God be praised"
" The Democratic elect thirteen or four
teen out of the nineteen members of Con-
gress from Ohio" -
"HURRAH FOR THE PEOPLE!
eve have from first to last felt an
abiding confidence in the sound judgment
of the millions. Errors they may COM
NIT, but these will be temporary. They
feel almost instinctiyely when affairs are
drifting in wrong and ruinous direction,
and apply remedy under the most ad-
verse circumstances If the conservative
party North have not won the victory
everywhere, they have given radicalism
a shock that will PROSTATE it. The cry
of traitsr, raised by partisans to keep ILL
used power, and the threat of summary
punishment for the free expression of
opinions on the mode of conducting this
contest, has not frightened the masses.
They have marche up to the ballot-box,
and there administered a rebuke to radi-
calism that it could feel in no other way.
s.The Union men of this State will
hail the result with unalloyed satisfac-
tion. It is just what they wanted"

From the. Cincinnati Enquirer
The New York Tribune De-
sires Oar Legislature to Misrepresent
Pnbfic Sentiment

We take the following from the New
Yorf Tribune:
!" In Ohio the Democratic State ticket
| is elected, and fourteen of the nineteen
Representatives in Congress are claimed
on the same side. We lose three or four
by very few votes, and one otber, it is
believed, by fraud, The Legislature cho-
sen last year (Union) holds over, and will
elect United States Senator six years
not, we hope, in place of BENZ. f. Wade,
but Wade himself
No one believes that you have lost a
member of Congress by fraud-that is
simply partizan calumny. Our object,
however, in copying the paragraph, is to
notice the request the Tribune makes to
our Legislature to misrepresent the public
sentiment, so unequivocally pronounced
by the election of the Democratic State
ticket, and of fourteen of the nineteen
members of Congress, by choosing Ben
Wade, or some other Abolitionist, U. S.
Senator Let US enlighten the Tribune
about the Senatorial election. The So
called Union party ia the Legislature,
last winter, split upon the. Senatorial
question. The Abolition branch of it
was for electing Wade. Those who were
not Abolitionists, and whose antecedents
were Democratic, opposed Wade. The
latter declared that Wade was not the
choice of the people of Ohio. 1t was
0nslly agreed to let the election go over
until this winter, in order to have test

DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET
-, -e 49,, ELECTED.

The Harrisburg Patriot and Union of
the 2lst inst. says:
1t is now conceded on all hands that
the Democratic State ticket is elected by
a small maj jority. Itcan not be less than
l 200, we think, and may reach, or even
exceed 5000. Considering the extraor-
binary efforts made by the Abolitionists
to carry Pennsylvania, tho vast amount
of money expended, and the coercive
means resorted to, we may we'll be proud
of the triumph achieved, although the
majority is not as large as that given by
our Democratic brethren of the Buckeye
and Hoosier States. We have beaten the
enemy in what he considered his strong
hold, where he anticipated a crushing ma
jority, and, therefore, We have right to
rejoice"

SORE OVER THE RESULT.


The Abolition papers in this State are
generally very sore over the result Of the
election. The sandusky lo) Rsqistsr
says: IS
BRING NO MORE RETURNS.
We have got perfectly disguised over
the election returns. WE'LL have no more
of theml They get worse and worse. At
last the Cleveland papers report the prob
able electioneof Judge Belden, of Stark
county. Phaughl Sunset Cox is credit
able beside him. IF he were as notorious
in rebeldom as Vallandighan, they would
be just as proud of him. As matters now
stand, Spalding, Schenok, Ashley and
Garfield will be the only unconditional
Union men in the next Congress from
Ohio"
The State Joxmas of Thursday morn
ing remarks: las2
"That the results are adverse to uni
versal expectation can not be denied In
deed, the whole issue has been of the
most anomalous character. The opinions
and expectations of the most judicious
and experienced politicians of the State
have been disappointed. They are utter

BALTIMORE. Oct. %.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 20. 9
The Americans correspondent from
Harper's Ferry says the troops are in
great glee over the success of the sxps-
dition which returned yesterday from a
visit to Loudon county, having driven out
all guerrillas between Harper's Ferry and
Leesburg, taking so prisoners and 80
horses.
Rumors from Washington that the reb-
els are leaving Winchester are known to
be unfounded, and fresh troops are sent
daily from Richmond there. 's
The rebels are niassing troops in the
Shenandoah valley, and have occupied the
whole line of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad frsm Harper's Ferry to Paxton's
Cut. r.
It is evident low water in the Potomac
operates on movements OF both armies.
The rebels feel safe between Martinsburg
and Winchestsr, SO long as the Potomac
is easily forded. Mcclellan is thus COM
pelled to keep his army scattered along
the river for thirty miles. 1t is evidently
impossible for him to move on the enemy
in force. Should he attempt to mass his
army, the rebels would cross again into
Maryland above and return to Virginia by
the time he reached them. So soon as we
have rain enough to raise the river no
doubt the commanders Of both armies
will act. -. a e tl'zl q
Gov. Letcher's Recommendation to de-
stroy the Baltimore and Ohio railroad as
far as is known has been carried out to
it's full extent from Harper's Ferry to ten
miles beyond Martinsburg, by burning
cross ties, water stations and bridges,
filing up and carrying off rails.
