The voice Of free and loyal people has
been heard, and it is decidedly in favor of sus-
tanning the Government, and opposed to all
compromises with rebels in arms, and all arm
istices for the benefit of treason. 7r
As might be expected, the New England
States roll up heavy majorities for the Union
candidates. In Maine, Massachusetts and
Vermont, at the present writing, III o'clock
midnight,) the majorities arelargely Increased
upon the last vote In those States. In New
Hampshire and Connecticut the vote is closer
than in the other New England States, but
still their majorities are emphatic and decis-
i've. OF course Rhode Island is all right, as
was to be expected.
From the field, in relation to which the
greatest anxiety was felt, the indications are
most cheering. In New York city, where the
Democrats claimed 10000 majority, Mcclellan
gets majority Of not over $4,000, which au-
gurs an overwhelming defeat in the State.
70 So far we have heard of no disturbance, no
riots, no interference with the rights Of a free
people. The Government was forewarned of
danger-a danger imminent and threatening
and being forewarned it was forearmed, and
this circumstance, no doubt, has ensured
peaceable vote, and save our large cities from
riots and bloodshed.

This little "Pea Patch" State was not reck-

Vote close, and claimed by both sides,
though the heavy Union districts of the State
not yet heard from. -
A dispatch from the New York Agent of
the Associated Press says the wires work so
badly in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and other
Northwestern States that it is almost, If not
quite, impossible to get returns.
This writing is closed at 3.45 A. M, at
which time there seems no doubt that Lincoln
has carried not only the New England States
but Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Ohio,
Indiana, and most likely New York, though it
Is impossible to calculate the extent OF the
frauds practised upon the soldiers vote of that
State. ~ ss -
Of the vote of Michigan, Minnesota, lowe,
Kansas and West Virginia, there can be no
doubt, and we admit no doubt of Illinois.
