As most Of the Secessiouists reirained from
voting, thus indicates q very 1attering re-
suit. The aggregate vote, when the re-

come very near the vOtabe strength Of the

on the day OF election in full strength in
all the as counties, we do not suppose they

ton waJ complete and overwhelming
The majority for the whole ticket is nearly
400, which, for place of 10000 inhabi-
tants, is a pretty emphatic Endorsement of
the War policy. The Copperheads felt
perfectly confident of sweeping the city,
and routing the " Lincoln mnlons," horse,
foot and dragons.
Portland, M.-The city election was
held on the 7th, when the Republican I'M
ion Mayor, Mcclellan, was elected by

ton of last fall, we can see nothing
whatever discourag'ng for DiXon's success.
The Democratic myoritles Of last fall are
being generally diminished 50 far as we
have received returns"

ried St. Paul by only 78 majority on May
ora Union gain of about 800 since
last Fall. When the one thousand Union
soldiers which the city has sent to the war
return, this lean majority will be pretty
thoroughly wiped out,
Nj@ois,-Th9 Union men have carried
Freeport, Bloomington, Morris, Geneva,
Dixon, DaQuOin, Fulton, Sterling, Tamo-
ra, etc. The reaction against the copper
heads seems to be very decided,
