the supporters Of the War for the Union and
the Government by which it s prosecuted have
triumphed The Territories Of COLORADO
NEVADA, NEW MEXICO, and WASHINGTON, have
likewise held elections. and each of them has
gone with the current except Washington
where a split has enabled the Opposition candi-
date 10 succeed by handful Of votes MIS-
souri, would have swclcd the number OF our
trinmphs; bu, the Conservative" rulers OF that,
State seasonably took the alarm, and decided to
have no State Election this year. Her Judicial
Election, however, is close at hand, and will
doubtless vindicate the sagacity OF those who
controlled her Constitutional Convention.
MASSACHUSETTS, Ngw-YoRK. DELAWARE,
MARYLAND, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN and
MINNESOTA, have still TO vo,e-a!l within The
next three weeks. That most Of them will elect
the Union over the Opposition candidates Is a.
certain as anything yet future can be.
"How about New-Yorkl" we are oftenasked
To those who put the question la. month, We
answered, Wait til you see the returns from
PENNSYLVANIA: New-York will 60 as She does. "
Had the October Elections of last year gone our
way. New York-in spite Of the depletion of her
Republican strength by Volunteering-wou
have followed. As il was, we we've crushed
beneath the avalanche OF disasters which rolled
in upon Us from the West. Now the case D.,
bravely altered.
But We would not induce supineness by over
wecning confidence. II is The casting or with.
holding Of the dozen doubtful votes az each poll
that decides every close election: our oppo-
nents polled fewer votes in our State last Fall,
when they trumphcd by over Ten Thousand
majority, than in 1850, when they were beaten
by nearly Fifty Thousand Inspte Of our heavy
losses by Volunteering, We should have sue
cecded las, Fall had our last Home voter been
brought 20 the poll.
We have an immense majority IN OHIO; yet
the Opposition in that State appear TO have
polled about the same vote as a year ngo, when
they beat US By Five Thousand majority. We
bea, them over Sixty thousand now on The
Home vote, mainly because most places Of bust
ness in the State wore closed Oh the 18Th inst,
and every energy and every moment devoted
10 the polls.
So in Pennsylvania: We were beaten there
lot,
and are now triumphant BY several times that
majority: Yet the Opposition have polled some
Fifty Thousand more votes than they did then
But the Unonsts polled some seoenty Thousand
more than thar last years vote, and this decided
the contest.
How was this vote brought out' 4 letter just
received from Lancaster, Pa, says:
I'VE all feel very anxious about the euccesr Of the
Union ticket in your State. hope therefore, You viii

should have Increased our majority considerably.'
We do not believe it possible TO make our
State 90 wrong this Fall; but bad local nomin-
ATOMS personal ieuds and neglect to canvass
certain localities, may sadly diminish our ma
jority and mar the completeness Of our triumph
New-York may come in at the foot Of the
magnificent column ~ States proclaiming in
tones Of thunder that the Union shall live and
the Rebellion die, when her proper place is at
the head and she may take it if she will.
Friends Of the National cause resolve that she
SHALL, and take measures to render your resolu-
ton effective.
