The EIectiOn.

The news Of to-day, leaves no shadow
Of doubt Of the reelection Of ABRAHAM
LINCOLN for another term Of four years
This is the act of the majority OF the
people and the minority have no choice
but scquiescence. If the people, by this
vote, have signi6ed their approval OF the
numberless usurpations Of ABRAHAM LIN
ooLN If they have deliberately relinquish
ed their ancient liberties, and embraced a
Dsspotism more absolute than exists in
Europe, it is simply an evidence that they
were not fitted for the enjoyment of that
Constitutional liberty which they were
not wise enough to preserve and have
found their appropriate condition in the
unqualified servtude which they have
embraced. But if they have been he
trayed by the passions and fanstieism
sngendered by the shocking conflict OF
arms, into an act which the sober second
thought will condemn and depIore, they
will hereafter, by the peaceful instrumen-
tality Of the ballot. atone for their great
error, and rsassert the rights which they
seem to have reliuquished. For one' We
are content 10 abide either event. we
shall hope for the best but 1t would be
the extreme of folly to endesvor by violence
to force free institutions on a people, who
are too servile to appreciate them, and desti-
tute Of the capacity to preserve them' even
if attained. We repeat if the people
are worthy Of the benignant and glorious
Government which their fathers gave them
they will make it manifest when the storm
Of excitement which now deranges the
public mind, shall have passed away
But we confess, that he has stouter heart
than ours, VINO does not, 10 view OF the

An Admirable Article 1rOm thS
FreemaR's Journal,


We may restore free institutions Of

If the spirit of free, representative, Re
publican liberty, has perished frSm the
minds and hearts of this people, McCLEL-
Ian, elected, cannot restore it, though he
were the wisest of statesmen, and the
most diSinterested Of patriots. Our reme-
dies lie.in our own keeping. Our people
must be fitted to our ancient free institu-
tions, or institutions must be moulded to
fit their altered and deteriorated condition.
We speak to the wise and TO the thought
ful among the people. We do not address

1000 Tons OF Human nIood.

$4,000 Tons OF Human Blood
A writer in the Jefferson County IN. ~
Union, who has been making calculations
relative to the number Of men killed tbus far
in this war, gives the following startling re
sults
There have been enough slain to sueircle
our State, if their bodies were laid ia one
continuous line
u they were placed in cotfins, and the
cotins corded they would count 80, 900 cords.
II laid 10 wall 25 feet thick and 30 feet
high 1t would be over one aud one fourth of g
mile in length.
II 6ve feet thick and ten feet high, the pile
would reach across the State
1t piled up 10 u ten.acre lot, they would be
nearly 200 feet 10 hight
And il laid upon the ground, they would
cover every foot OF soil in Jefferson eoun.

Seventy.6ve thousand tons of human blood
have been spilled in Dixies soil-enough 10
to turn every spindle in Lowell and if tears
were added to the food it would turn the ma

sighs would fill every ocean sail
The one half has not been told. The mill.
ions OF wounded and MANNED for life must be
taken into account in summing up the grsad
total of evil incident TO this bloody aud fratri-
eidal war
Aud the end is not yet.

twenty persons killed by the accidental break
ing of a rail or the sinking of steamboat,
