The a Result.

Tuesday, November S;h, 1864. was =
glorious day for America. The sPlendor
OF that day achievements will constitute
an unfading page of national history
The cause of Liberty and Union, Freedom
and Humanity, Truth and Justice, tri-
umphed then at tbs ballot-ko1, over Dies
potism aud Anarchy. Slavery and Cruelty,
Falsehood and Injustice. Ths Nation Is
marching on in the sreathishUay of pro-
grsss, aud the morning dawn OF the com
ing day of glory ia tinged with the rosy
hues of the new light. This people have
been true to the country in its hour OF
peril; trns to its brave defenders; true
ts Themselves and their children. The
~re-slection of Mr.. Lincoln, or q bold,
outspoken, unsquiVoesl AntiSlavsry, I'm
ion and Wal Platform, leaves no room for
q single doubt as to the will and senti-
meuts Of the great majority Of the Amer
Jean people. They have expressed them
selves as most emphatically in favor Of a
vigorous prosecution of the war to sup
press the rebellion" and the abolition Of
slavery, es the cause thereof.
That is the platform on which Mr.. Lin
coin hiss been reelected with an unanim-
ity scarcely paralleled in the history Of
the country. He is the first President
that has been reelected since Andrew
jackson, and Mr.. Linooln's msjoritieI
tower high above and ovsrrhadow the
popular expression for the Hero of New
Orleans. The overwhelming voice of the
people indicates that public confidence
10 too firmly rooted to be shaken and
overturned by the storms and assaults of
faction. The counsel of traitors has been
brought to nought: the Vaccinations OF
evil men have been frustrated, and the
great battle has been rictoriously sarried
by the incorporating friends of Liberty
and Union.
Now that the voice OF loyalty has ap-
proved of tbs general policy Of the Ad-
ministr.tion, and imposed upon President
Lincoln the great Gssk Of guiding the
Ship of State for another term Of four
years, over 9 stormy sea, let Us not deluds
Ourselves with the idea that our task is
accomplished. We must still stand to
our posts, and sustain the President by
word and deed, yhsneVer he asks for aid
TO carry forward the grand mission of re-
desming and regenelatiug' our political
system, and establishing it on an enduring
base Of ~re-invigoratsd nationality
