Is The Race Degenerating?

Where is the evidence that such is
the fact J Perhaps some qucrruous soul,
some hesitating doubling, fearful, badly
made up, and half walked mp person may
say this is the case, and instance as proof,
the fearful rebellion in this country. and
the uneasy and warlike state of mind in
the old world, as proofs positive. that the
race of man is rushing downward to perdi-
ton at two forty pace. In small way,
and to back up the greater arguments de-
rived from the more glazing lapscs of the
race, the innumerable raids on peaceful in
habtants, the numerous robberies and
other crimes may be thrown in to make
the case strong one. But there is a
brighter and better side to this dark pic
ture. The noble charitable institutions
which our own lanentable war has called
into being, show that there. are better
phases of human nature than are exhibited
in wars, and that these necessary evils
seem to show us how much goodness. kind

The People have willed it +!

That Lincoln and johnson shall be the
next President and Vice President. The
returns thus far received indicate the fol-
lowing results:
Maine by an increased majority over the
September vote, has again declared for the
whole Union.
New Hampshire has elected Union cleo
tors by a reduced majority.
Massachusetts, has exceeded her former
good deeds, and has given Union MAORI
ty Of near 10000.
Connecticut has again declared for the
Union.
Rhode Island gives her ELECTORAL vote
for Lincoln and johnson.
So has New York, with her twenty three
electoral votes, declared for the Union,
again and also, Pennsylvania, Ohio, H.
inois, Indiana, and it is reported all the
States of the great North West. This is
a glorious result. and more than meeting
the sanguine expectations of Union men.

Eumors of the Election.

Qaiet and good humor prevailed for the
day at the polls in this village on Tuesday.
We heard no angry discussions, nor load
boastings, during the day. All seemed in
good humor, and the peace men ruled the
day Not the Mcclellan Pendleton peace
party. but the peaceable men of all parties
acted like sensible men. concluding that
the dav for discussion had passed. Some
amusing incidents occurred occasionally to
give zest to the otherwise monotonous pro-
eeedings. One Of the prominent Union
men, through mistake. put Mcclellan
ballot almost into the hoX, when he was
arrested in the ,rickta act, by a Union man
standing by. and hi. mistake pointed out,
1t caused hearty laugh at his expense. A
prominent Democrat by his side. rather
thought, if the ballot had got into the box
he would have reeiproeated the favor and
have deposited Union vote. The allo-
pathic method of treatment Is the only one
that would have been successful in this
case.
While there was a lull, and the voters
only dropped in semi professionally. one of
the fathers of the town. invited the thous-
and and one boys present, the most active
canvassers at the polls. to step up and de-
post their votes on the table These young
politicians and patriots, pumped down
quickly lots of Union votes, and then start
; ed off after others. We believe not a soil
tary Mcclellan vote was cast by the boys.
A returned soldier was given vote by
distributor at the door, and he as ed

flesh in bringing up men to vote on the
wrong side brought up one load that con-
clpded they would vote right, notwith-
standing the obligations they were under
to him for their ride.

for meeting; hut before opening it, the
