tns Nnw- OP OUa ELECTfON IN
ssnl4IE."

The election here has passed and gone, and
he's caused hardly ripple on the SUFFICE Of
Affairs. The world still moves on as placidly
as before, and we may hope that in little
while the cause of this Government viii
become the cause Of all tho people without
distinction OF party. it was pretty well under
stood before the election took place that the
war In any event was to be prosecuted Vigor-
ously ror the restoration Of tho Union; and In
that respect, at least, IL could make but little
difference whether AurAuAM LINCOLN or
GroRar r.. MCCLELLAN was placed In
mower al Washington for th' next four years
The majority Of the people, however, seem to
have preferred to continue in Office the present
incumbent cf the Presidential chair, and it is
but fair to infer that they also preferred MIR.
LNCoLN's war policy TO that OF General
MCCLELLAN and h,s party.
In view, then, oI the situation, it woali
appe-r to be The plain nteress OF all loyal
cit zens TO cooperate with The Ainlnstra.iol
in carrying on the war with tia! energy AMI
efficiency which are necessary TO push IL -
the spcodiost possible clnclIti)n; aal az
popular unaninity in that oG)rt i3 an import
ant, not 1ctually inlisJo15lblo, con iistol Of
success the men of the loyal States should al,
once combine to accomplish that end which all
mu Q OF should desire.
Even the Unconditional Peace party ought,
10 unite with the friends OF the Adn,nij5rl-
ticn in pressing hostilites with yigor, b,cllss
as the people have d,cr,ei, thU the wA-
shall g forward until the Rebellion is sub
dued, the more vigorously and effectively tl,
enemy is driven to the wall, the sooner poaco
viii be achieved on the only basis on which
the North will permit 1t to bo concluded.
The eject on the South of the election here
is subject for curious speculation. IT. a.
the Democrats alleged the Rebels were really
solicitous for the ro-alectiou OF Mr.. LINCOLN,
they have got their wish, though we never
could see how they were to be benefited by
the continuation at Washington of q war
| policy which allowed them no reasonable hops
/ of paciacalicu except on the condition OF
their abandoning every distinct aud avowed
| object for which they seeded from tho
| Union and commenced q war on the National
| Government 1t IS much more probable that
the Rebels were anxious for the success of
! that party in the North which proposed to
! treat with Mr.. d JAWS as regards the terms of
a peace, and TO give him and his armies the
advantage OF an nlsdni.c a mi. to recruit
til, r. strength for a renewal Of the war in the
event Of a failure Of the contemplated nego-
tiatio IS.
There is reason 10 believe that peace never
would have been agreed upon in convention,
except on the basis OF Southern Independence,
though the Rebels would have gained a great
deal by the Cessation Of hostiiLies" that
? would have been a preliminary and contem-
poraneous incident OF the process OF negO-
tating for an amic lble settlement Of the
difficulties in dispute. They may, and
probably viii, affect to rejoice over th2 issue
of our recent election, in order to keep up a
show of courage and confidence in their de5-
|, perate cause; but no sensible man in this
, section of the country can believe for on
t moInent that the news OF the triumph Of tn
Republican and Union party here will fail t
G excite general feeling of disappointment
9 the entire Southern country outside of ou
a military lines, and fill the minds Of the di:
" loyal people of that region with gloom an
u dismay. They will realize that the fat
&c incorporating war has gone forth again
IL them, and that their doom is dccreed.
