A Speech by President Lincoln
HIS THANKS FOR POPULAR CONFIDENCE
IN HIM,

At late hour On Tuesday night, Pres
ident Lincoln was serenaded by the Penn.
sylvania Club of Washington City. Be-
ing loudly called for, Mr.. Lincoln appear
ed at window and spoke as follows:
FRIENDS AND FELLOW. CITIZENS -
Even before | had been informed by you
that this compliment was paid me by
loyal citizens Of Pennsylvania friendly to
me, ] had inferred that you were of that
portion of my country-men who think
that the best interests of the nation are
to be suDserved by the support of the
present Administration,
[ do not pretend to say that you who
think so embrace all the patriotism and
loyalty of the country; but do believe,
and | trust without personal interest, that
the welfare of the country does require
that such support and endorsement be
given. I earnestly believe that the con.
sequences of this days work, if it be as
you assume, and as now seems probable,
will be to the lasting advantage, if not to
the very salvation of the country
l cannot at this hour say what has been
the result of the election but, whatever
it may be, I have no desire to modify
this opinion: that all who have labored
to-day in behalf Of the Union organiza
tion have wrought for the best interest of
their country and the world, not only for
the present, but for all future ages.
I am thankful to God for this approval
of the people; but, while deeply grateful
for this mark Of their confidence in me,
if I know my heart, my gratitude is free
from any taint of personal triumph, l
do not impugn the motives of any one
opposed to me.
1t is no pleasure to NE to triumph over
any one; but I give thanks to the AL
mighty for this evidence Of the peoples
resolution to stand By free government
and the rights Of humanity.
The Potter journal. [volume] (Coudersport, Pa.) 1857-1872, 1864-11-16
The Result

AL our former published election re-
1urns have been confirmed. Mcclellan
has carried but three States-New Jersey,
Delaware and Kentucky-and il is re-
markable that the three State voting for
him deprive the soldiers from exercising
the elective franchise. If the soldiers i'll
these States had been permitted to vote,
their electoral votes would have been cast
for Abraham Lincoln.
The majorities cast in the twenty States
that have declare for FATHER ABRAHAM
will exceed 100000 This is the largest
ever received by any Presidential candi-
date.
The Potter journal. [volume] (Coudersport, Pa.) 1857-1872, 1864-11-16
Ra- There is rich story current

whereof the substance is as follows:
The Rebel States by secret precoucert
had their Legislatures in session on the
Sth inst and each of them chose its
quota of Presidential Electors, as though
they had never assumed to secede from
the Union. These Electors, in case
their aggregate vote would suffice to give
Mcclellan majority over Lincoln, were
to assemble on the first Wednesday in
December, and formally cast their votes
for Mcclellan and Pendleton, sending
them on to Washington in due form and
backing them by delegations to either
House, should that be deemed essential
Then when the day arrived for officially
counting the votes and declaring the re-
suit, the entire Opposition of all shades
was to insist that Mcclellan and Pendle-
ton were duly elected, and, if this were
not conceded, break up the session in a
row, and inaugurate civil war from one
end of the country to the other, the pres.
ent Rebellion merging itself in the newer
and more formidable, Jeff. Davis, Lee
and Beaugegard becoming alike lleuten-
ants of Mcclellan.
This story is unsupported by published
facts, and is essentially Incredible. We
receive it only as the coinage of some
fertile brain, musing and brooding over
what might have been. If it has even a
shred of fact beneath it, that fact must
become apparent, and we shall await with
interest its development.-TriJune.

attacks on Atlanta, shells being thrown
as far as Rolling Mill. The most despe-
rate attack was made on the Rough and
Ready Road The Rebel artillery was
within one hundred yards of our works,
and their infantry and dismounted caval-

were aroused from their slumbers, and
quickly manned the Gefences, and soon
drove the Rebels off. The Rebels were

retreatcd toward Macon. Our army is

Rebel batteries replied briskly for time,
but they were soon silenced by our shells
and mortars. A force Of about one hun

a sortie from their lines and attempted tO
penetrate ours, but, being met by sa
lutte from our pickets, were not long in
finding their way back, and putting
themselves under cover.
