The Election Returns,

We confidently expected TO elect our
State ticket at the late election, for the
following reasons. First, we knew th at
we had majority of 1882 fer Slenker
last year. Secondly, we knew that the
Democratic party had been rapidly in
cTeasing in strength ever since. The off.
cial returns now show that we were not
mistaken. The Democrats polled 80, los
more votes for Woodward and 81, 1923
votes more for Lowrie, than they polled
last year when they elected their ticket by
3,3s2 majority +; and yet we were defeated
by majority ofl5,3 1926 for Curtin. This
disaster to our country was caused by for
eign intervention by the Government at
Washington. The programme was indi
Gated by. Bill Armstrong, Ben Butler, and
other Abolition orators, who said it was
better to lose battle in the field than to
fail at the election in Pennsylvania. Hence
Curtin's political friends were selected
from the army and distributed over Penn
sylvania to vote, in such vast numbers
that we lost battles in the field. Large
numbers Of citizens in the District of Col.
umbia were sent here to vote; and
in many places where they had Abolition
election boards, such citizens and squads
of soldiers who were citizens of other
States were voted by the Abolisionists. -
In this way the Abolitionists increased
th'ir vote.i in the single county of Allegheny
$685., more that they polled last year.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN says, in his re.
cent thanksgiving proclamation, that dur
ing the year now drawing to close,
"Order has been maintained, the laws
have been respected and obeyed, and har.
mony has prevailed everywhere, except
in the theatre of military cosAict; while
that theatre has been greatly contracted
by the advancing armies and navies Of
the Union" Why, then, did President
Lincoln suspend the habeas corpus ? The
States Of the. North, throughout which that
writ is now suspended, are neither invaded
nor in state oil rebellion; and, by the
Presidents own testimony, the "public
safety" did not require it, because "order
has been maintained, and the laws respec
ted and obeyed.' Who will answer'

to concentrate the whole power of the ad-

I thoughts on the Election.

The more we reflect upon the result of
the recent election the better we are, in
some respects, satisfied with it. 1t may
in the end prove for the best thai Judge
Woodward was not elected. Had he
been chosen TO the Executive chair of the
State, the people would most likely have
expected more of him than he would have
been able to give them. 1t is true that by
firm and judicious policy he might have
given greater security to person and pro-
perty amongst us. But he would have
been able to effect no change in the radi-
cal policy of the Administration. In the
question Of peace or war, he would have
had little or no voice. AS the case now
stands, the Abolition party have the con-
troll of events in their OVID hands, and
they must assume the entire responsibility
of whatever is done. We may have to
pass through many weary months of war
and sorrow-we may continue 10 see the
hand Of abitrary power used in crushing
out the rights of freemen who are not in
ebellion-mllion more of treasure may
be squandered upon political lavorites and
dishonest contraclors-the voice of weep
ing and waiing may still 60 up all over
the land, as of Rachel mourning for her
children. 1t may be the purpose of an
| allwise Providence TO make US lay our
faces on the ground and our mouths in
the dust But it will still be consoling
reflection TO every Democratic every
man who did not support the Administra-
ton in its ruinous policy--to know that
he had no part nor lot in bringing these
terrible evils upon the country, nor in
prolo nging them until the whole nation is
heartsick and weary unto death.
In the meantime, as we have said be.
fore, it ia simply the duty of the two hun
dred and fifty thousand Democrats who
voted for Judge Woodward, to stand
squarcly by their principles and await the
issue of events. Our principles are right
and just, our impulses are honest, our
motives soundly patriotic and religiously
pure. We can afford to wait until the
people awaken from their dreams of false
security. They will awaken some day to
the terrible reality, God grant they may
do SO before our day of grace shall have
been irrevocably sinned away, and the
Spirit of Peace and Concord shall have
utterly ceased to strive with men.-VaMey
Spirit and Iames.

A Big Batch Of Traitors.

The total number of votes cast for Gov
srnor at the late election in this State was
523 ,225, being an increase of ss, ,475 over
1862, when the number cast was 34,75O.
Ofthe entire number, 253,775 votes were

Curtin. If the Democrats are ''foes and
