rnnrnEE rIamr FAncE.

The attempt was made yesterday in several
places 70 carry out the childish threat Of free
aeAa. As consequence, the various station
houses this morning are filed with promis-
cuous crews OF poor dupes, whose blackened
eyes and battered noses afford abundant evil
deuce Of the lll-success Of their scheme. The
greatest credit "a due TO our wol-drilled and
courageous police force, who were amply pre-
pared, under the immediate supervision OF
Mayor HENRY, for any emergency that could
possibly happen.
We have no doubt that the comparative
quiet OF yesterday was owing 10 the moral
effect of a Thousand thoroughly disciplined
men, well armed and equipped, and stationed
"a various points connected by telegraph. In
the neIghborhood Of Richmond, ln the Nine
teenth Ward lin sympathy with Richmond,
Virginia), free whisky was literally dispensed
al certain Jemocratic headquarters, with the
hooe that it would create riot and disorder;
but Toe friends OF the Government proved
more than match for the drunken rihilns,
aud sent them bowling to their dens.

TnE VICTORY OF YESTERDAY.

Once again Pennsylvania has struck her
clencbed hand against the foul crew Of
Rebels and traitors whose headquarters are
n Richmond, but whose agents and bonds
men are 10 be found in every county in our
State. Con has vouchsafed to the cause Of
Union, and Liberty, and Order, and true
American Democracy, glorious victory
over treason, and anarchy, and foreign in
fiuence. The result yesterday proves how
steadily and yet how rapidly the people are
mounting to the level whose pure atmo-
sphere was, not long ago, inhaled by only
apostles and martyrs.
An over the land, through all the loya
communities Of the North, and to the patien
aud longsufieriug friends of the Union at the
South, and, above all, to the worn and wasted
prisoners In Rebel Jails, the glorious tiding'
arc being swept over the tar-stretching wires
that, like q mighty harp, are attuned to the
sweet and solemn harmony.
The friends Of the Government should be
encouraged BY the result of yesterday to make
stu greater exertions for the Presidential
election, which takes place in less than four
weeks nom to-day. The triumphant election
OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN is already assured
But an ordinary majority is not all that is
required. Let the decision Of Pennsylvania
be uttered in thunder-tones that will be
unuaistakable. For humanity's sake, let the
verdict be 90 overwhelming that the Rebel
leaders VIII see clearly the hopelessness OF
their cause. This will secure a speedy peace,
whose foundations will be laid on the enduring
rock Of free institutions.
To the triumphant hosts Of the friends OF
the Union, we say chat the result of yesterday 3
election Is equal to a gigantic victory in the
Geld. Let it be followed by one vigorous and
united effort on the 9Th of November, and the
tOttering Confederacy will tumble into ruins.

A DODGE CHECKmATED.

Mr.. BELMONT attempted to do a smart
thing in sending over the wires to every
morning newspaper in Philadelphia, as a
special despatch, a long rigmarOle purporting
to be the address Of the Democratic National
Committee. 1t was 80 arranged as TO be
smuggIed into print on election morning, in
the same way that the forged proclamation
was got into the New York papers, by deliver
ing it TO the offices here after the responsible
editors had gone home.
The whole scheme failed of its object, the
Age being the only paper to publish the
document, which abounds in lying abuse and
senomous ISLANDERS on our Government and its
sosulsrs' II was intended as a trump card to
sne.' se election at 50 late an hour as TO defy
con1I@oictlon or denial. Fortunately all the

FRAunuLENr VOTES.

The effort of the BELMONT Committee to
MI our ballot-boxes with fraudulent votes
lAiled Of its object Our streets were thronged
with gangs Of New York "strikers" and
"shoulder-hitters," who roamed from poll to
poll in certain Democratic wards, and voted
without let or hlndrance. 1t is estimated
that In this city alone three thousand fraudu-
lent votes were deposited by parties from
New York, New Jersey, and Maryland, to
ssy nothing of refugees and psro!ed Rebels,
OF whom there are thousands in our midst
and while too cowardly to remain in the
Rebel ranks, openly espoused their sinking
cause yesterday at the bsllOt-box. Notwith
standing these, the Union cause has swep
our csty with blast that Is a sure forerunne
Of the election OF Abraham Lincoln at the No
Vember election.

TN ronAC.n N,rsANrE.

We Americans dou tless esteem ourselves
as being at bottom a polite nation. In the
outward show and demonstration OF that SEN
timent we are clearly outdone by Europeans;
but with honest, manly, unaffected reverence
for all that is truly virtuou5 and deserving
we are, perhaps, az well endowed as any
people on the earth. Above all, do we inherit
the tender respect which our foretathers tier
tanned for the weaker sex. We nelthe har-
ness women with dOnkeys to ploughs, nor
buy and sell our wives, nor compel the TO do
mems labor in the fields, as Is done at the
present day In modern, civilized Europe, and
as high a tone OF morality prevails here as can
be found elsewhere in tue world
At heart, then, we are polite enough; but In
our outward life we offend grossly in many
things against deccncy. Giving way, as we
proveTbially do, to the unr restrained impulses of
our natures, we often go TO unreasonable ex-
tremes, ard thus lay ourselves open TO the
censure Of more refined, but less Independent
natures; for we are too honest or careless 10
follow the French maxim of Disgusting our
vices that they may appear virtues.
Ofall the eScesSes which prevail among us
to a sufficient degree to merit the appallati9n
OF national vices, there is, we think, none so
vulgar, inexcusable, and disgusting as the
excessive use OF tobacco, which prevails
throughout the land among young and old.
We wish that some modern Jamie would
writea "Counterblast to Tobacco" which might
have the happy effect Of putting an end to a
habit which, for century and three-quarters,
has been offending the olfactories, and destroy
ing the mental and physical energies Of the
American people. 1t is strange that prac-
tice, opposed as II is to all the dictates of
nature, health, and reason, should ever become
80 universal - and not less strange than
melancholy.
1t is sucking the health and energy out Of
the systems Of our youths, whom we see about
us stunted in growth and weak in mind, and
every way unfit and unable TO perform the
active duties OF life in this new world, where
bodily and intellectual vigor is the best capi-
tai with which boy can start in life. But
this is not the place to discuss the physical
evils which attend the use Of tobacco. Able
scientific pens have long since exhausted the
subject, without other avail than 10 prove the
truth the saying, that our passions are the
only orators that never fall to persuade If
