There is no reason why Democratic
editors should mourn so over tho
election OF Abraham Lincoln. To bo
sure they lose sight Of all Offices, fol
which they have such weakness, fol
the next four years, but still it will be
easy to edit a paper under the pres
'ent administration, and that ought
to compensate in n measure. What
a fine chance for abuse there is--a
weapon which they WELD with q mas
terly hand. Four long years in
which to hold mp to the people the
villainy of Lincoln and his advisers
from the highest to the lowest
WHO claim to show how the people
have lost their liberties. TO compare
the present state Of the country with
its former peace and qnietness, when
we were governed by Tombs, DAVIS,
Yancey, Stevens and all the bright
galaxy OF true Democrats. What
heavy doses OF "nigger" they can
cram down the throats of the people,
who have got so used to it that they
swallow it with less wry faces than did
Squeers' scholars taking their morn,
ing dose of treacle and birthstone. In,
deed, it don't seem to affect them O
bit. What fine dishes of "Lincoln''
can be served up, in all imaginable
varieties-"Gorrilla," "Nero," "Tv-
rant" "Usurper," cape" etc, etc.
What visions of brilliant leaders must
float through their brains rs they
think of these things. But perhaps
some other tack would be advisable
for they have been trying these things
for the psst four years and it don't
seem to have the right effect. The
people don't seem 10 digest them
See how they voted.

The mystery about McClcllan's re
signation seems to have originated in
the unWillingness of subordinates to
reveal the ordinary occurrences of the
War Department during Stanton's ill
ness. 1t has ut last been asccrtained
that Mcclellan wrote his resignation
the night before election, giving it
next day, doubtless supposing that
rs he was to be elected President he
would not need it any longer. 1t

THE GREAT VICTORY.


l seems almost unnecessary 10 say
anything further 10 regard TO the
great battle of the Sth inst than 10
call the attention Of our readers to
the result. Every state eXcedt New
Jersey, Delewarc aud Kentucky has
declared for Abraham Lincoln, by
enormous maiorities.
Never was apolitical battle fought
by the Onion party against such odds.
1t had to carry the load of drafts, ol
taxation, tile mistakes and hIunders

to the lowest second Lieutcnat. We
had 10 fight the growing malcou

timid conscrvativc--the gold of Eng

'thieves--in short, the world, the flesh
and the devil. Every coward who
feared a draft and was willing to sac
rilice his country that he might avoid
the necessity OF taking up arms TO
save It, was against us--evcry misery
old hunks who groancd in agony at
every dollar Of taxes he was forced
to pay in defence of his country, was
against us--all the meaner passions

God knows, the enemies Of the Gov

indeed, that the little they effected is
as much matter of surprise TO us as

this result that the party who sym
Ipathise with them are but beggarly
faction, impotent and harmless. The
issue was fairly made up; "peace" OH

rebels will see the determination oI
the loyal men of the North to fight or

THE OTHER PYRAMID.

1t has been the howl of the Demo
Gratis that Lincoln was minority
President. That handle is now wrcst
ed from them. Lincoln is not only
elected President 10y the electorol
votes, but is elected by immense ma
jorities in all the States except three.
He is the President 10y the popular
vote-the vote of the people, and nc
practical question can arise rs tc
counting the vote of the states. His
past administration is stamped with
the approval of the people, and he
has their confidence for the future
With four years before him there is
everything to hope for--the restora-
tion of the Union, the return Of peace
and our whole country acknowledge
ing its allegiance to the Constitution
and Laws.
