ALL THE STATES BUT
THREE FOR LINCOLN.
Popular Majority 100000.
2l3 ELECTORAL VOTES. -06
TO SPARE
EVERY COUNTY IN IOWA BUT
ONE FOR OLD ABEI
Iowa has given $4,000 Major
ity for the Union.
WAPELL0, COUNTY REDEEMED
THE RESULT AND IT'S LESSON.

Although enough was known at the time
we went to press to render the success of the
Union ticket certain, yet the arrangement
Of the wires was such as to prevent early
and full returns from all the States. New
York was in doubt for several days, and
several other STAGES reported both ways
The victory was assured, but its extent and
magnitude could then oniv be snrmjsed.
Now. however. we can rejoice over the
certainty of the most decisive popular tri-
umph ever achieved in this or any other
country. It is now certain that Lincoln.and
johnson have carried all the States voting at
the election, save only New Jersey, Delaware
and Kentucky. and not only carried them
but by majorities in most ofthem anprece-
dented and,overwhelmings
1t remains 10 be seen what effect this VIC
tory will have upon the fu ture course Of the
minority; but it is probable and indeed
there are limitations in influential quarters
to that effect. that the verdict Of the people
will be generally acquiesced in by the defeat
ed party. Many things will conspire to this
desirable result, Of which,a sense Of weak
ness and the certainty that all future as past
faction and reasonable opposition to the
constituted authorities must result only in
disgrace and ruin to those engaged therein,
will be sufficiently conclusive and control
ling.
Several facts are deducible from the result
of the election.
First Every unconditional Union man
voted the Union ticket, at least not one vo-
ted against it.
Second a precinct cannot be
found in the whole country where Democrats
did not either vote the whole Union ticket,
or refused to vote at all.
Third-It is certain that the pretense Of
Unionism on the part OF the Mcclellan lead
ers alone kept one half Of the party from vo-
ting the Union ticket.
All honor, say we, to those Democrats who,
at the last moment. preferred their country
to party. We will say in addition, that we
believe there are many among those who
voted for Mcclellan, who now that the peo.
pie have spoken so emphatically, will bow
to the voice of the people, and hereafter dis
courage and denounce MI political action
tending to weaken the nation in its efforts
to preserve its own life. ~k

Our national wealth in 1860, If we look
simply to the States in our possession, was

Bir. jeff Davis, in his Message to his

an considering the state Of the coun-
try, the reflection is naturally suggested
that this is the Third Congress Of the
Confederate States Of America. The
Provisional Government was formed,
its Congress held four sessions, lived its
appointed term, and passed away. The
permanent Government was then or
ganized, its different departments es-
tablished, a Congrtss elected, which al
so held fOJr sessions, served its fall con-
stitutional term, and expired. You, the
Second Congress under the permanent
Government, are now assembled at the
time and place appointed by law for
commencing your session All these I

pendent sovereignty was recognized by +

says:

Almost all the staff appear to have

Johnson, and numerous mutual inqui-

being made. Gen Hunt, Chief Of Ar

to make a set speech, but the old ia

An Aid who has just come in from

when the captured Gen. Stuart-G H.

hand, but the high-born captive drew
back saying that "his feelings would
not allow him to shake hands an IN
