THE PRESIDENTIAL ELEcr1o1
Address of the National Union Ex-
ecutive Committee to the People of
the United States.

Address of the National Union Fx-
eoutlve Committee to the People of
the United States.
AsrOR HOUSE, Nav YORK, October Il, 1854.
FELLOW CITIZENS: The elections of
Tuesday last give splendid auguries of
the result Of the Presidential contest
now so near at hand. The great Cen
tral States of the Union have pronounc-
ed in unmistakable tones, their con-
demnation Of the principles, the pur-
poses and the candidate of the Chica
90 Convention. Although the great is
sue was presented only indirectly for
their action, they have branded as false
the declaration of that assemblage that
the war for the restoration Of the Union
has proved "failure," and have stig-
matized, as unpatriotic and cowardly,
its demand made in the midst of our
most splendid triumphs, for cessation
of hostiities," and compromise with
the men who are assailing, in armed re
bellion, the nations life.
In PENNSYLVANIA, the old Keystone
State, although there was no State tick
ct to arouse enthusiasm or stimulate ex
ertion, the Union men have elected sir.
teen out of the t,oenty.Jour members of
Congress, secured large majority in
both branches of the Legislature, and
carried the State by a popular majority
of not less than FIFTEEN THOUSAND.
In ONO, without any special effort
the Union men have elected sigteen
members of Congress out of nineteen;
the Chicago candidate for the Vice
Presidency, George H. Pendletop, has
been overwhelmed in his own district;
all the prominent leaders of the Chi
cago movement who dared to present
themselves for public Judgment, have
been condemned by decisive verdicts;
the Legislature has large Union ma
jority in both branches, and in the
State at large the Union cause has a pop
ular majority of not less than EIGHTY
THOUSAND.
In Indiana, where the copperheads
made the most desperate and determined
struggle, they have met the most signal
defeat and overthrow. Their organiza-
tion was perfect, their means abundant,
and their efforts marked by the utmos.
vigor and determination. But they
have been utterly routed, by the most
decisive majority which the State has
given for many years. Although she
she had more than 40, 900 soldiers in the
deId, from whom the opposition party
had withheld the right to vote, the
Union> men in that gallant State have
gained three members of Congress, sent
Schuyler COlfax back, in spite of the
most desperate efforts to defeat him, to
the seat so long adorned, chosen
Union Legislature, reelected the gallant
and patriotic Governor Morton by 90,
900 majority, and overwhelmed, with the
lasting stigma of popular condemnation,
the conspirators who had dared, in aid
Of the rebellion, to organize upon her
soil movement of armed resistance to
the constitutional authority of the Uni
ted States.
Fellow-citizens = These results may
we'll NIL your hearts with confidence that
IN November the popular voice will de
mand that the rebellion be crushed lby

A private leticr from Col. L. j Brad
ford, the energetic President of the Ken
tdcky Agricultural Society, writing from
Bracken county, says the frost has been
very destructive, the late corn having
been badly damaged, while it cut tho
tobacco completely down, so that much
of it will not be worth housing. The
frost was much heavier than that OF last
year in the counties of Mason, Bracken,
Fleming and Lewis, Kentucky, and
Brown and Clermont, Ohio, and from all
these extensive injury is reported.

WHY SHOULD THEY SINk7


The excitement of "the chase" has always
been supposed to have healthful tendency;
but there is kind of chase which breaks
down the constitution, debilitates the frame,
and shortens life. We mean the headlong,
unintermitting hunt after "the almighty dol
lar" which is the great business characteris-
tic Of the present day. 1t begets other evils
unnecessary to name) which precipitate the
fate of thousands. There is, however, q pos,
sibilty of recovery from the prostration pro-
duced by these causes, long after their victim
has ceased to hope for il. If we are rightly
informed, the most astonishing cnres of what
is called general weakness and debility, which
have ever been known in this country, have
been effected through the agency of Doct or
Holloway's inest;mabie remedies. Mere sl<el-
etons of m-n, out of whom the very princi-
pie OF vitality seemed to have been drained.
have been restored to health and vigor by the
operation IF the Pills; and of the Ointment,
in case of paralysis. rheumatism, &c, we hear
an equally favorable account. If msn will
break down their energies by over exertion-
