Victory! victory! Glorious
Victory!

With all the enormous expenditure
which has been poured out by the Admin
istration party in Pennsylvania, with all
the frauds that could be practiced by an
INSCRIPTIONS party In power, the cause Of
THE UNION AT ALL HAZARDS has achieved in
that gallant State a glorious victory.
The Democratic Central Committee OF
that State have issued an address to the
people, 10 which they authoritatively state
that we have triumphed &" by a majority Of
seven to ten thousand on the home vote"
When the avalanche began in Maine,
and away up in those cold regions the
small stream commenced to pour, we fore
saw that it would be felt in accommodating
force as it rolled downward. Connecticut
manifested her feelings in the great changes
Of her town elections, and now PeHnsylva-
| MIA, Ohio and Indiana hear the thunder OF
the rolling mass, which, ia three weeks,
will sweep from existence the radical and
destructive Administration. The avalanche
is sweeping onward throughout the North.
1t is not necessary 10 call attention to
the fact that a Congressional election fails
to poll the same vote as a Presidential,
Not only local and personal causes inter-
fere, but the absence of personal consider.
atoms relating to the Presidential candi-
dates is of great Importance. Thousands
VI vote for personal friends, Republican
u ..nbers of Congress, who would not vote
lJr ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Other thousands
will vote for MCCLELLAN, who would not
vote a local Democratic ticket. Fo, it is
notorious that all the personal considera>
atoms are in favor of MCCLELLAN and
against LINCOLN.
The grand fact stands out that Pennsyl
vania Is now assured for MCCLELLAN And
this great result has been achieved by the
intelligent convictions of the people unaided
by any of the corrnpting or i~ntimidating
appliances so protdsely used by the admin.
istration. The Democratic party are not.
like the administration, the distributors of
a vast patronage amounting to eight hun,
dred millions a year. They have not q
retinue OF hundreds Of thousands OF office
holders ready to do their bidding. They
have no army of contractors whose ayarice
they can enlist liz the service of their cause.
The Democratic party have no enginery
but the force OF truth, the feeling Of loyalty,
the iastict of patriotism, and the love of
the Union. They have had to stem a tide
of corruption and intimidation such az was
never before employed to bias and ovsrawe
the spontaneous sentiments of the people,
In spite OF these influences, they have
triamphed; and by their triumph have de.
monstrated that the popularity of Mr.. LIN.
COINS administration is so rapidly declinins
that no concentration of effret can prop il
up. a.

WHY the Administration Los
Pennsylvania.
From the New York World,

From the new IOrR WOIlu,
Why could not the administration hold
its own in Pennsylvania What was lack
ing2 Not patronage; not money; not effort;
not speeches by men of ability, for the
whole talent of the r publican party was
assembled in that one State. They claim
that the victories won by our noble armies
inure to their advantage; if this claim be
well founded. when can they expect such
another series Of triumphs as Farragut,
Sherman, ,Sheridan, and Grant, has given
them since the meeting of the Chicago Com
ventions JEFF. Davis made a speech at Ma
con, which they considered a trump card In
the way Of an electioneering document, and
took pains to disseminate everywhere in that
view. Looking at the canvass from their
own point Of view, everything concurred to
favor them. Mr.. Lincoln, then, still judg-
ing from their standpoint, ought to have
gained. Instead of the fifteen thousand
majority which his party had in the State
| last wear, Pennsylvania should have been
| carried by the Republicans by at least fifty
| thousand majority. Why is it that, instead
| of this, he has lost the State?
1t is simply because the people are pro
| foundly convinced that Republican rule IS
the ruin of the country. They have had
four years trial of it, and find that 1t Is
| bloodshed, bankruptcy, taxation, poverty
| despotism. 1t is disunion at home, and dis
| honor abroad. 1t is the loss of free speech,
7 a free press, the habeas corpus, and the pro.
lection of the laws. 1t is fifty cents for a
yard of calico, and sixty cents for a pound
of coffee. 1t is a crate without Goals and a
table without butter. 1t is dirty shinplas
tiers in place of silver half dollars. 1t is
husbands and fathers torn from their homes
by a provost marshal's guard, to fight for
freedom of negro slaves. 1t is a land dark
ened with the garb Of mourners; filled with
4 widows, orphans, and %cripples. These are
/ the blessings which have resulted from elect>
ing MIR, Lincoln once, and the people think
once will suffice. In spite Of the col ossal
exertions made by the administration party
in Pennsylvania, the public mind tends ir-
resistibly in the direction in which it ought
to be carried by these truths, which come
home to mems business and bosoms; to
their tables, their iresides and domestic
affections; to their love of security and
their pride of country.

Mn. Bo1cE's letter, which We print to-
day. ON our first page, is full of signif'
canoe. One Of the ablest men of the
South. trained in the school of South Carr,
olina secessions bis We've and his admis-
sions are of marked importance. twill be
seen that he admits the war to DO failure
on the part ofthe South, he argues that its
further prosecution will only destroy what
little Of liberty there is left In the seeded
States, and will consolidate the power into
the. hands OF the men who now WELD it
with despotic swsy. he admits that there
% far less freedom, in the South than in the
North de recog niIes in the condition of
the Confederacy all the elements Of military
despotism, and finally declares that the on.
" hope of the South ts;ia tho spscesS Of

pronounces a virtual recognition of the
doctrine of state rights, an abal document
of the federal government in both sections,
and resort to the sovereiguties of the
states q triumph Of the principle on which
the ordinances Of secession were passed.
With these views. Me-. BOyce urges JEFF

which, like the other leaders Of secession,
he hes 80 long acted, he recognises the true
Southern States rights doctrine, and in its
success the triumph aud Independence Of
the South. This remarkable letter adds 60

whom it was intended to humiliate the

THz official returns, including the sol.
diers vote, having assured q Union mSjor.
ity Of about 10000 in Pennsylvania, the
Democratic papers, that have claimed Q
victory, now predict one. They. ere pro-
fuse in their explain ations of how they might
have beaten us In October, and especially
profuss in their prophecies Of how they are
going to beat us in November. There is no
reply to a prediction, aud there is very lit.
tie value.in one. Whatever hope q defeat
by 10000 majority, with the influence Of
their defeats!in Maine, Ohio and Indiana
may give the Democrats in their anticipA-
tions of the Presidential election, they are
entitled to. We certainly desire that some
thing, real or dslusive, should give them
courage enough to stand up and be thrashed
and not TO take it lying down. We should
estimate the hopes of the Democrats, found.
ed on the October elections, are about as
well founded as the hopes Of the rebels on
