THE ELECTION NEWS.

The glorious news which came across
the land last evening settled definitely,
and to the extinguishment of lingering
doubt, the fact that the people of the
United States concluded on Tuesday last,
"not to swap horses while crossing the
stream" There is class of persons on
this coast, land they are all of the Cop
perhead faction) who are in the constant
receipt of the latest and most reliable tele-
graphic dispatches from the East, whether
the wires are in working order or not.
Notwithstanding the fact that we received
the first dispatches that crossed the line
yesterday, the Cops. were ahead Of us,
and, as usual, their intelligence was of a
character entirely different from that
which came to US by the slower and old
fashioned medium of iron wires and cleo
tricity. Early in the day, bulletins were
posted in Virginia announcing that Eve
RY STATE HEARD FROM HAD GONE FOR
MCCLELLAN !" This was true just this
far not single State had gone for Nc
Clellan, and not a single State had been
heard from. The Constitution (valuable
and reliable sheet thaD announced the
same thing. and inserted under its tele-
graphic head the following
Hll--ah for the Border States! The bGyo-

CLEAN SWEEPHH
\ newspaper having any character for
veracity, even among its own party, would
have hesitated before publishing such an
outrageous Roorback, lest its friends, be-
lieving the story might make losing bets
thereon. Having no such character, how
ever, and its friends not being burdened
with betting money, that paper turned
itself loose as above. About 2 P. NJ. the
wires announced themselves in working
order across the continent, and that the
election returns were ready to be for
warded. As the hour was getting too
late to receive the dispatch for our regular
edition, the operator informed US, in short,
that "all the loyal States, except Indiana,
New Jersey and Maryland had gone for
Lincolu-New York giving him $4,000
majority" With this news we went to
press, ordering the full returns to be sent
on for an "extra." At seven o'clock the
extra was issued, giving the returns as far
as heard from. The contents of the extra
will be found on our first page, to-day.
By those returns it will be seen that every
State, the returns of which are complete
enough TO admit of an estimate, has gone
for Lincoln; unless it may be that Ken
lucky has gone the other way-a circum-
stance that would probably surprise but
few. AS to the digging up Of that broom,
we advise the Cops to sit around awhile
and get their wind. before commencing
the arduous task of its resurrection.
The agony is over. Mr.. Lincoln will,
if he lives, be the President of the United
States until the fourth day Of March,
1869; and the people can now breathe
freely, assured that the policy under which
the rebellion is now gasping in the throes
of death, will be adhered to until the
ghastly corpse of treason lies stiff and cold
at the feet of Union and Liberty.
