minsle MY congratulations with those of the
Young Men'sRepublican Union and the citizens
OF this city, upon the overwhelming cxtin-
guishment Of the Union EStinguishers. The
object Ut this election was TO "let US alone" A
logical tornado has passed over the land, AMI
not one national official has been blown down,
not sheet Of official paper disturbed by the
storm. The civil departments scratch on, aud
the military departments fire on. Abraham
Lincoln continues To- Gil the place to which his
country and abilities have called him. and Gen.
eral Mcclellan will also continue to fiji the po
sition to which his country and his abilities
have con signed him. Nobody is hurts" some

were before the sth OF this November told the
4th day Of next March TO swear In another
four years Of the same old determination to
keep the American Union one and indivisible.
