Not an Echo.

The " Democratic (?) victory in the great
States of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio in
1862, have not even produced echo in either of
the Northern States at the election of 1868. The
Emancipation Proclamation having become the
settled purpose of the Government, and in opera
ton for over nine months, the people of the loyal
North have shown by their united efforts at the
ballot box that the only way to fight our common
enemy is by depriving him of the main support
upon which he relied to maintain his armies in the
field This verdict at the ballot box is perfectly in
keeping with the sentiments of the vast armies of
men who have gone forth to conquer or never re-
powering majorites that have been given for the
Union all of the States from California to
Maine, shows the deep determination of the people
to stand by those who have been sent forth to bat
tie against the most barbarous people that ever
cursed civilized country assuring them that their
is now fully understood by the loyal masses,
and that fear need be entertained by the soldiers
that they will not be supported by men and neces
sary means to push towards the great Gulf,
til every armed rebel is compelled to yield cheer
full obedience to the Constitution or be crushed by
overpowering numbers
The moral effect of the victories at the polls will
have greater effect upon the success of our
than though our heroes in the field had triumph
antly marched into the Notifications around Rich
mond or Charleston. By this lesson. the bogus
cabinet at Richmond will see that they have lost
the left wing of their army, by the defeat of the
Copperhead party in every of the loyal States.
Rv IL ENGLAND and Franco uill 500 that our N ton
is now firmly resolved enforcing her boundaries
to the old land marks, and there maintain them
against the irsdeous acts and threats of any or all
European powers. By this out-pouring of the
loyal sentiment of the country the intrgues of the
French Emperor for forming colony in Mexico to
be under his special guardianship will involve him
in but difficulty and that is how best to rctrace
his steps from that distracted country.
Notwithstanding the desolation that civil war
has brought to land during the past three years,
still people have taught the governments of
Europe, that have been engaged in almost
stanty for years, that they do not understand the
first rudments of conducting gigantic war. This
war has developed the power and resources of a
great people who were reared with aversion to
war; yet it has made many homes desolate, and the
heart of the patriot to bleed for his country. An
entire revolution has taken place in the arm of
naval warfare through out the world The largest
and most approved cannon heretofore known to any
nation, have been found to be mere pocket pieces,
in comparison with those now used in our armies
and Navy, Not alone these, but still greater power
has been developed, of maintaining such vast
armament without expressing the people but on
the contrary make them increase in wealth and
prosperity at the time. All these vital ques-
tions to the well being of free people and great
nation have been fully tested and carried into
practical operation; and that too, with the meanest
and most cowardly of foes lurking in the very
midst of our people, ready to stab the Goddess of
Liberty to the heart, and rivet the chains more
closely upon the poor down-trodden slave, whose
masters scorn liberty and justice, and have rebelled
against a Government whose foundations were
laved with the hearts blood of our Fathers of the
Revolution.
Let the Administration still push forward in the
good cause they have in hand, and the voice of
praise will continue to go up in behalf of
and our country, until shall again be free and
a united people, acknowledging but one sovereign
ty- that of the Constitution of the United States
