The influence Of the glorious victories
Of the Union cause in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Iowa will be felt far outside
of the States in which Tuesdays contests
were waged- In all The country the
North where loyal hearts have been wait
ing with anxiety that no assurances could
still, and in the South where treason Was
waiting the promised and expected aid
from the other treason il the Free States,
the gurge Of this great popular dcmcnstra-
lion in: favor Of the unity and indl-
visibility of the Republic will make
its presence and influence known
-iu the South working discoura agement
and despondency in the stoutest adhercnts
nf the rebel cause, and in the North arous-
ing and awakiugto new enthusiasm and
new effort all loyal but doubling men who
have been Respondent before. In the fed
the soldiers who have endured so much,
and are willing to risk eycn death for the
preservation Of the institutions that they
and We dcfend-the soldiers upon whom
all the arts and eugine1y OF treason have
been plied-the soldiers who have been
turning eager glances and waiting ears to
the North for the sight Of the coming
hosts and the sound Of yictory-wi1l make
all 1cbeldom shake with their shouts when
the assurance travels from army to army,
and from camp to camp, that their ID
bors, their sacrifices, their heroisn, their
wounds and their blood hare not been ten
dcred TO their inpe1ilcd country in rain;
that the heart Of the North beats in unison
with their hearts; that the great principles
forwhich they took the field are still firm
" and triumphnntly upheld, and that the
American citizen has still country and
Government outside the camp.
in Europe, too, where the attempt
to create the belief that Lincoln
lisa .yrant and his Administration an un-
1ni'jgated despotism, supported only By
the bayonet, has been 1Ddust1iously and
persis.ently made, and where sympathy
with the "oppresscd masses" : of the
North vics in it's manifestations with the
same feeling for the pirates Of the South,
llIis unpurchased and untrammeled de- |
claretion Of. four great States, in favor by |
unprecedented majozities, Of the. Presi-
dent, Of his Administration, Of his policy
and Of bis measures, will fall like an ava
lanche upon the hopes that the par1isans
Of the rebellion have suffered to grow up.
The verdict Of the great political commu-
mites that haye just spoken will be heard
IN every Cabinet and BY every politician
pd Europe, as warning that, for all pur.
poses Of aggression and defence, the Free
States, are unit aud their flag q sacred
symbol that no power shau insult, It is
another and a prolonged guaranty of
peace, the yalue Of which in crisis where
. feather may tutn the sca1e, we cannot
overlook.
We congratulate our readers that, on
The part Of the friends Of the Union, there
Tas in the hot canvass which preceded
Tuesdays work, no concealment Of the
measures to which the Government is in
dubitably committed, and no attempt to
dodge or deny their Significance. The
battle, on their Part, was openly fought
against q treacherous and well -ambushed
foe. They avowed and defended the
rightfu}ness and necessity Of the Presi-
dents Proclamation Of Emancipation, the
propriety Of enforcing the Conscription
and Tax laws, Of making conGscation Of
rebel property, wherever found, means
of partially deftasing the expenses Of the
Ear, and Of calling to our aid. in squeleh-
ing the infamous rebellion, oil the means
The use of-which civilized warfare will
Justify, including the organization Of
negro troops and the destruction, By the
military power, Of that internal institution
out Of which the rebellion sprung. Onall
these, the voices Of our speakers and the
utte1ances Of our journals were loud and
emphatic. There was not q man in the
four States who did not know, when his
ballot was cast for the Union ticket, just
Khat that ballot meant. The result is
hence doubly gratifSing-a triple victory
over the secessionists Of the South, their
partisans Of the North, and the doubling
and hesitatiog Of our own organization,
who hardly dare be called Union" lest,
in the next breath, they should also be
dubbed " Abolitionist' or Radical 1t
.Tas the radical policy-the Lincoln policy
the only true Union poicY-that was
discussed, and: it was that which Won !;
and to its frank ayowM much Il the vic
tory is due. The people expressed their
want for vigorous prosecution OF the war
for the war with a1l the accessories aud
collatera1s necessary to make it culminate
IN victory!
Friends Of the Union take heart! The
sacred cause for which the country has
taken up arms has outlived the dangers by
Thich it was cnvironed. The people, late
II tom and distracted by the doubts and
fears that attend great criscs, deluded,
portion Of them, by the old partisan lead
ers upon whom theT were accustomed to
rely, uncertain where to look for the rock
Of safety in the sea Of danger, have, as we
had abiding faith that they would, planted
themselves upon the ground that duty and
patriotism bid them occupy; md be the
results Of the coming campaign ever 50
adverse, we believe that their faith will
never more be shaken. For all that their
country demands, they may be depended
npon to the end In their expressed de.
terminahons, we see visions that would
have gladdened the heart OF a prophet

umPhaut cud;a country reunited in the
1el1owship that is now denied, and re.
deemed by a baptism Of blood from the
curse that its monster crime has enta{led
