PROMINENT AMONG the gratifying incidents
of the election, is the fact that many of our
Oldest citizens voted for Abraham Lin coin.
The venerable William q. Jones, for many
years engaged in the cabinet making bus-
ness, and who cast his first ballot for Thomas
JSHersonrin 1905, voted the Union ticket
with Abraham Lincoln and Andrew John
son at the head, on Tuesday last. MIR. Jones
is far advanced In years, aud during the en-
tire period of his majority has never missed
voting at Presidential election. By this
act Mr.. Jones has shown that the patriotic
impulses of his heart still burn within him
as ardently now as in the earlier days of his
manhood.

Abraham Lincoln is reelected Presi-
dent by very large Electoral and still
more decisive Popular majority. He can
no longer be taunted as 'manority' Presi-
dent, and no practical question can arise as
the counting Of the votes of dubious States
He is the choice of the American People
by preponderanee which must disconcert
and battle the conspirators for North West
ern and other Rebel-parasite Confedera-
cies. His administration is stamped with
popular appreciation, and he may now go
on with the work of subduing Rebellion,
while restoring and pacifying the Union.
With four clear years before him, it is
hardly possible that he should not succeed.
Andrew johnson is likewise elected
Vice President. Like Lincoln, self.
made man, born poor White in Slave
State, he has been ripened by crcum-
stances into one of the most determined
effective enemies of the Rebel Slave Power
The country has few sounder or purer
patrols than Vice President Hamlin, whom
we shall spare from public life with regret
but he could give place to no man worthier
better or more acceptable than Andrew
johnson.

LoNe's SPEC cH.-The speech of Alex

devil of a rockery among the Abolition
members of that negro debating socety-as
will be seen from the congressional proceed
ing in another column;-aDd they bave re-
sorted to their old experiment of trying to
expel. the member who makes a speech
which they are unable to answer. We do
not agree with all the views expressed by
Mr.. LoDg, but the action of the Abolition
Speaker, and his followers. are without pre-
cedent, and if successful, will sweep from
the land the last vestig of free speech
Why was not Bingham, Stevens, Lovejoy.
and Others, expelled for avowing openly. on
the floor of Congress. that they did not wish
to see the Union restored? And why are
such men as Phillips. Thompson. ard others.
who boast that they labored long to dis
solve the Union, voted the use OF the Hall
of Congress, and from this same Speakers
desk, preach disunion. The reason is OBJ
vious-they are Abolition miscegenstionists.
If all the Abolition memb mbers of Congress,
and of the Cab .net-the President included,
who have uttered secession sentinn ents on
the foor of Congress. were expelled, there
would be few of them left. 1t seems that

ported less than 13 600, 900 pounds. Thir-
