The result Of the recent elections throughout
the country has sent thrill of joy through every
patriotic and loyal heart. No victory by our
armies could be more damaging to the hopes Of
RebeldOm, and full well is this fact appreciated
by the traitors in arms, and by their aiders and
abettors, the peace democracy. Where now
their boosted strength, and opposition to the
Government ii New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and Maryland, as, one after the other, these
noble States have wheeled into line, and spread
dismay and confusion throughout their ranks :?
The Government is sustained in every measure
adopted to suppress the rebellion. What pre-.
text can our transatlantic cousins now find
for interference in our affairs? JEFF Davis,
through his agents, had assured the European
powers that the great mass of the people Of
the North and West were opposed to the war,
and that the Government would be rebuked
through the ballotbox.
We are now in the third year of the war.
When itcommenced, our standing army numbered
but eleven to. twelve Thousand eiiective troops !;
our navy was small and scattered, and eur Trea-
'sury almost depleted. Every stronghold in the
South was in the possession Of the enemy. Our
veteran army and navy are now the largest, best
appointed and best paid in the world. All our
financial engagements have been met, and at no
time in our history has the nationel revenue
from all sources been larger. The people are
able and determined to carry on the war for na-

Captain stinohcOmb at Cardington, o.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
writing from Cardington, o., tells the follow
ing:
At the other stand soldier of two years
standing made two hours speech. His name
is Captain. Stinchcomb, an old Democratic
stumper, formerly of this county, and latterly
of Fairfield county. He whales the Butter
nuts with his fist and skins them with bis
tongue. He greatly interested the people. He
whipped Copperhead during the fifteen min
utes before commencing his speech, under the
following circumstances: A Vallandighamer
was saying that the soldiers were wagiug a
id Abolition war-a war for freeing the ne
groes. Captain Stinchcomb said to him:
"Well, what of it?"
Butternut.-"It is an Abolition war for free
ing the negroes and making them equal with
white men,"
Stinchcomb.-"I don't fear them becoming
equal TO myself or my children"
Butternut.-" Well, you are engaged in a
id pretty business anyhow, fighting for the
niggers."
Capt. Stinchcomb brought his fist into solid
contact with the Butternut's head, brought
him on his knees a second blow feled him,
and one or two extras satisfied both parties,
wbereupon the Captain proceeded to the stand
and spoke two hours, as il he had not just
whipped the fortieth copperhecd.

Gov. Andrew Johnson on Slavery.

1t can no longer be said that Gov. johnson, Of
Tennessee, is opposed to emancipation. In a
speech recently delivered in Nashville at a
meeting called to rejoice at the national sue
cesses at Charleston, Gov. johnson declared
himself thorough-going emancipationist, and
urged the immediate and entire abolition OF
slavery in Tennessee and elsewhere. The
Nashville Union gives the folio wing sketch OF
his remarks:
'SlaYery was a cancer on our society, and
the scapel of the statesman should be used
not simply to pare away the exterior and
leave the roots 10 propagate the disease anew,
bat to remove it altogether. Let Us destroy
the cause of our domestic dssensions and this
bloody civil war. 1t is neither wise nor just
to compromise with an evil so gigantic. He
avowed himself unequivocally for the removal
of slavery; the sooner it can be effected the
better. Some Inconvenience might, most like
ly would, follow, temporarily, but these would
be more than compensated by the grand i'm
pulse given to all our interests by the substi-
tuition of free for slave labor. He was for
immediate emancipation, if be could get it; if
this could not be obtained, he was for gradual
emancipation; but emancipation at all events.
He invoked the people 10 cast off the sla-
wish fear which had hitherto sealed their lips
on this question, aid speak and act hencefOrtb
as freemen should The slave aristocracy had
long held its foot upon their necks and exact
ed heavy tribute from them, even to robbing
them of free speech. Let the era Of freedom
be henceforth proclaimed to the nOn-slave-
holders of Tennesseei"
