our armies in the field havo not been weakened
by single regiment to strengthen tho Union
cause for the recent Elections. A few soldiers
have been furloughed, mainly from hospitals;
IN, the Indian;ans deprived Of their votes by
reason of their absence from homo in the Ma
tional service, would have given nearer Twenty
Thousand than Ten Thousand majority for the
Union ticket. Yet Indiana ia carried high and
dry by the Cnionists, who have mado a cleaner
sweep of the State than any party ever maze
before. Thor Presidential canvass Is virtually
ended, and they can hcncciorth help their less
fortunate neighbors. And all do know that
when Indiana goes this way, ncithar Illinois nor
any other State of tho Free West is likely to 60
the other.
OF Ohio, less need DO said, because her
Unionists have neither been distrustful nor
dstrusted. Nobody imagined that they would
again pile up snch an enormous majority as that
whereby she last year elected Vallandigham to
stay in Canada; but all felt that she must 60
ss she went last year, though not so overwhem'
ingly. But the result has far surpassed our
most sanguine hdprs. The aggregate popular
majority cannot Tall below Sixty Thousand,
when the Soldiers Vote shall have been re-
turned. while our gain OF Members Of Congress
is certainly ten and may be t'ee're or over In
other words, wc have fifteen to seventeen
Unioiists chosen to The next House, instead oil
fire TO fourteen) in this; and the fourteen in
clndc Pendleton, Long, $. 5. Cox, and other
of tho isrccst foes of the Administration. The
victory is so thorough that Ohio. too, is hence
forth practically out of the Presidential con-
test.
PENNSYLVANIA j. not; and yet she has given
large Lincoln majority at this election. while
the votes OF her great Union strongholds- Ale
ghany, Lancaster, Chester, Indiana, Erie, &C..
&c.-are not nearly polled out because no
adequate motive for exertion was presented to
many Upionists. Allegheny County will give
Ten Thousand Majority for Lincoln, though she
has now exclusive Of the Soldiers yotes) given
much less; Lancaster is good for 5000, though
she has low given but 1900. Philadelphia on
but Philadelphia was an exception to the gem
cral rule. When tho Soldiers votes are all in
and counted. the State will be found TO have
given not less than 10, 000, and probably nearer
5000, majority for the Urion ticket, elccting
sixteen to eighteen Union Representatives in
Congress ont Of twonty-iour, which stand
equally divided in the present House, and
there Is 10 doubt OF decided Union majority
in both branches Of the Legislature. We can
do great deal better than this in November;
but this IS enough for the present. Pennsyl-
vana has no more idea Of voting for Mcclellan
than for JET. Davis himself.
Unionists Of all tho States, We can sweep the
deck il VIC will Nsw-JBEsgg is going with US;
MARYLAND is clearly for us; the hardest States to
carry for Lincoln are kentucky, Delaware, and
Missouri Bat Price viii soon be skedaddling
from Missouri, with half the Copperheads Of
that State in his train; Delaware will now 20
right; and even kentucky viii yield to tho
majestic current. Let us resolve 10 carry every
State not under the heel Of jeff. Davis! We
can If we will
