THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Inc Gay OF the PRESIDENTIAL election, an in
teresting one always to Americans, is made
especially so on Its recurrence this Sth day OF
November. 1e6i, by the deep Importance of the
issues at stake.
Disguise the fact as politicians may for their
own purposes, there Is no denying that the fate
CT the Union depends upon to-day's vote. Shall
our leaders in the Cabinet and the field, whose
sole purpose is the suppression of the rebel
lion, and who have so nearly completed the
good WORK, be endorsed and sustained; or shall
the reins OF government be given virtually to
those who are plotting not only for a dishon.
orable abandonment of the contest, but who
are scheming for the disruption of the North
into petty confederacies on the jeff Davis plan,
That is the plain issue. Not that there are
not patriotic men arrayed on the side of the
opposition, bat that in the event of the defeat
Of Mr.. Lincoln and the election of General
Mcclellan, the men of the Wood and Vallan.
digham stripe would be the ruling spirits, and
would dictate the policy of the administra.
ton
The effort to defeat Mr.. Lincoln is the last
throw Of the dice with JEFF. Davis; and the
imperative necessity to the Confederate cause
OF his defeat, is shown in the desperate efforts
being made by Davis agents in the North to
carry the election by gigantic frauds, oath
bound conspiracies, border raids, &c, &c
But all these desperate schemes have provi-
dentially been thwarted in season, and have
returned to plague the inventors; and to-day
all the indications point to an orderly, peace
able election. And with an election so con-
Quoted there cannot be a doubt-especially if
the fall elections are any index-of the re-elec.
ton of Abraham Lincoln by a majority that
will give joy and courage to loyal hearts every
where, and cause corresponding discourage
nent to the enemies OF the Union, North, South
and throughout the world.
To afford our readers basis of calculation
and comparison, we subjoiu the vote at the
last Presidential election:
