THE PENNSYLVANIA AND OHIO
ELECTIONS. ~


ELECTIONS.
1t is source of high qualifications to
every truly Loyal Union man, in the coun-
try, to find, that these great and noble
states have again rallied to the support of
the Government that they have again
spoken in tones, not to be misunderstood,
that they viii sustain the Administration
of Mr.. Lincoln in this war against the
slave oligarchy of the South. Majorities
for the union. candidates in those states
were expected by the shrewcd, intelligent
men of our party although some good
Union men feared the requests--especially
in Pennsylvania But that those MAORI
ties should have reached over 10000 in
Pennsylvania-and nearly 100000 in
Ohio-thus giving avalanch majorities-
grand Waterloo victories over the treason
Observation-Disclosures Par
ty--is almost too good to be believed. Such
majorities thill the soul of all real Union
men with joy; and our hearts pour out our
thanksgivings and gratitude to God--the
All-wise-and great Disposer of events
whose good providence is clearly seen in
these great results--as it has ever been
witnessed in its divine benefcence and
protection in all our National affairs. We
also rejoice in the glorious victory of the
Republican Party, in Iowa-in which the
election therein, seemed 10 have gone all
one way--and the majority will average
some 10000, or more-a splendid triumph
to the cause of truth, of justice, and OF
patriotism-in that young-one Of the
young giants of the great West.
These great, and patriotic States, who
have sent so many hundred thousand Of
brave men into our armies and whose
heroic sons have so largely contributed to
the great victories which have crowned the
armies Of the union, in their recent battles
have declared that this acar against the
rebels must go on; until we conquer a
peace that shall be lasting until, by
crushing out stauefy-abolishing human
bondage-we shall have achieved peace
that shall be enduring which shall de-
vote our glorious country-our free soil
to free labor and cheer the hearts Of
the friends of civil, political, and religious
liberty, throughout the world-with joy
and gladness,
