The long looked for election has come at
last. We can say Of these two elections
what never could be said Of them before,
viz-that the eyes not only of this conn
try but of Europe are upon them. In all
probability the London Times and the Paris
No aitelr have articles this morning re-
minding the people of England aud France
that a great event is to happen in the Unit
ed States to.dsy. Both Of those papers
have specialized moi little upon the results
of the canvass which winds up to-day in
Ohio and Pennsylvania. The interest in
the result is extraordinary. Only few
weeks ago the rebel Marry, now an ennis
sary in Europe, wrote to the London Times
that Vsllandigham was waiting and watch
ing across the border for the vote to-day,
"pledged. if elected Governor of Ohio, to
array it against Lincoln and the war. and
go for peace" No persons win look more
arxiously for the next steamer at Liverpool
than Mason, Slidell, Mauty and the holders
OF the Confederate loan" AS General
Meagher said few days ago, the steamer
will not touch her docks until the news of
the result will be telegraphed to the Lon
don Timer, there to be welcomed, if adverse

American nation has gone TO pieces be-
yond all hope of reunion. :.
The rebels in arms and the rebel leaders
at Richmond and Charleston, and around
the headquarters of Lee aud Bragg, will
wait auxfously for the news of to day

ham men would carry Ohio with little
difficulty" Rosecraus was not defeated
at Chattanooga, but he was driven back
from the Ohickamaugs into Chattanooga,
aud his communications seriously threat
ened, and. in fact, partially interrupted
with Nashville. Although the Enquirer
did not realize the full data necessary for
the complete success of'the ValIandigham
men," it will no doubt have a great Curl
osity to see how near the aid which Bragg
actually rendered has enabled them to come
to carrying Ohio and Pennsylvania
Strange sight day, but true as the sun
light, that the war for the Union is chang.
ed to-day from the camps of the Potomac
and the Tennessee to the ballot boxes of
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
We have no doubt of the result in
Ohio and very little Of Pennsylvania.
We believe that Brough will get sweep
ing majority and Curtin very decided one,
say twenty thousand. There never was
such canvass 10 either State. The st.
ClairsyiIle meeting on the 10th of last
month is fair specimen of the unprece-
deuted nature OF. the campaign. The tone
of the democratic" papers shows plainly
within the last week that they have given
up all hopes of either State. Over in Bel
mont county, the stronghold, par excel
leuce, of disloyulty in Ohio, the Union men
almost expect to surprise themselves with
a victory. We more than half believe they
will do Sc. There never Was such stir
ring to the bottom of things before. We
never should have faith again in demonstra-
tions if the Ohio election does not result
in great Union success.
In Pennsylvania the canvass has not
been SO decided and demonstratiye on the
Union side. for the reason that the same
color or phase of disloyalty is not repre-
sented in the democratic. ticket as in
Ohio. Indeed some ofthe newspapers ear.
ly in the canvass in that State took pains
to let it be kuoEn that while they support,

Pennsylvania, they did not wish to be IN.
derstood as endorsing the SO called Demo.
cratic ticket in ohio-more especially Val
laudighim, the head of the ticket. But
with all such disclaimers the fate of Cop
perheadism in the two States will be the
same, unless we aregreatly mistaken. The
loyal people well understand that if there
is any difference between the candidates in
Ohio and Pennsylvania it is one of degree
and not of kind, aud they well know that
no good for the union cause can come out
fsthe success ofeither. I;s sasy
We presume that such arrangements have
been made for returns as will enable US to
announce the result tomorrow morning OF
this important days work. At all events
we will get sufficient news to indicate very
decidedly whether the voice of the country
is for ia vigorous prosecution Of the war;
or for an ignoble 'ipeaee at any price"
