A NUMBER of President Lincoln's friends,
mostly Pennsylvaniane, serenaded him on
election night. In response to the compile
ment he made this little speech:
Friends and Fellow CiHEeRs: Even before
had been informed by you that this COM
pliment was paid me by loyal citizens of
Pennsylvania friendly to me, bad inferred
that you were of that portion of my cOuu
trymen who think thatthe best interests of
the nation are to be subserved by the sup
port of the present Administration. L 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 sup
port and Endorsement be given. earnest
ly believe that the consequences of this
days Work-if it be as you assure, and now
seems probable-will be to the lasting adj
vantage, If not to the very salvation of the
country. l cannot at this hour say what has
been the result of the election, but what
ever it may be. L have no desire to modify
this opinion, chat ell who have labored to-
day on behalf of the Union organization
have wrought for the best interests Of their
country and the world, not only for the
present, but for all future ages. l am
thankful to God for this approval of the
people. But while deeply grateful for this
mark of their confidence in me, if know
my heart, my gratitude is free from any
faint of personal triumph. l do not i'm
pugu the motives of any one opposed to
me. 1t is no pleasure to me to triumph
over an one. But 1 give thanks to the
Almighty for this evidence of the peoples
resolution to stand by free government and
the rights of humanity.

BoYoB,
W1srsBoao, s. O., Oct. 20, 1864.


Dear Sr:-In reply to your note, beg
leave to say, that think the course re-
commend is the best possible course to at
tain the great object we are aiming at, the
establishment of our Independence. 1t
proceeds upon two leading ideas:-
/. To reconcile the North, or such por-
ton as may be rational, to our independ.
ence, by harmonizing as much as possible
our independence with their material in-
terest
2. To avail ourselves of the division OF
sentiment at the North.
1t was to give potency to these two
ideas at the South that insisted so siren
uously in my letter to the President on the
danger to our republican institutions from
the indefinite continuance of the war.
Let me call your attention to this stri-
ing fact, that; of all the world, the only
political organization which proposes to
intervene between Us and the war party
North, is the party which adopted the Chi
cago platform. Now, should we pursue
policy to huild up that party or mott
thiak most decidedly we should.
Let us call your attention to another
fact. In the event Of the assembling OF a
Congress of the States, it is manifest that,
In that Congress, from the Northern
States, would be represented two adverse
| Systems of ideas-one having the auimus
of the Chicago platform, the other of the
Lincoln programme. The first of these
| would be in the ascendaDcy, because the
very converting of the Congress necessarily
implies the defeat of Lincoln and his sys-
TEN, as it is we'll understood that Lincoln
and the party be represents are utterly OPP
posed to the assembling of this Congress.
Under this state of facts, an abrupt di-
vision of sentiment would be found in the
Congress between the opponents and the
supporters of Lincoln. From this there
might result events of the Vastest sdvan-
tsge to us, if our councils were guided by
mastery wisdom.
If, under that conjecture, we could dig
up the head of Rtchelieu, or Louis XII, or
even the head of Elizabeth, the great Queen
of England, and put it, full of its original
brains, upon the shoulders of the man who
would have the direction of our diplomacy
in that Congress, the chances would be
thousand to one that our country would
emerge from the clouds which now en-
shroud it, redeemed, regenerated, olsen
thralled" War is but blind giant, strik-
ing at random, unless the genius of diplO-
macy directs the blows. Ideas are the true
divinities of this suhlunary world. Let us
consult these our oracles.
As regards the instructions TO our dele
gates, have no objection to their being Of
the character you indicate.
My great purpose is to break down the
wall of fire which separates us from the
influences of peace North. have great
faith that if Lincoln and his policy were
once repudiated, aud negotiations for peace
entered uPon, that every moment we would
approach nearer aud nearer to an ausPi-
cious result. With great respect, &c.
WILLIAM w. BoYCE.
Mr.. JAMES G. HOLMES.

WE expressed 1.-THE opinion yesterday
morning that from present appearan-
ces, Mr.. Lincoln would receive a great
er proportion of votes in the electoral
college than any president since Washing
ton. We find by reference to the record
that such is not likely to be the case. Mr..
Monroe, at his re. election, had no contest,
only one vote being thrown against him
Mr.. Jefferson out of ia votes cast at his
reelection, received all but IA, which is a
nearer approach to unanimity than the 213
votes ont of 2s4 estimated for Mr.. Lincoln.
The former received 80 votes to each seven
that were given for Mr.. Pinckney, while
the latter is expected to receive only IL
votes to each for Mcclellan.

WE publish on this page to-day some
highly interesting extracts from very late
Southern papers. We would call special
attention to the article from the Richmond
Enquirer, reviewing the duties that win
devolve upon the rebel Congress, which
body met in Richmond last Monday. We
have not yet read any where, in any Union
journal, so dark picture for the Oonfede-
racy as that drawn in the Enqplrer's Rrticle'
Its whole tone is that of gloomy despon-
dency and fearful looking forward to the
future. Among the highly suggestive sug-
ges.iops thrown out by the writer is that
one relating to the impolicy of drawing any
more men from the already over thinned
industrial districts and putting them in the
army. The admission as to the currency
having lost its purchasing power is not less
suggestive. So also we may say of the al.
lusion as to what is to be done in
reference. to armipg a portion of the
Slaves, especially that part of the al
fusion which seems to shrink back in
dread from what the effect may be on the
balance of the slaves in the South. More
vital suggestions to the rebellion could
not be named than those three. The wri-
ter says Hthere can be no war without
money" which is a truth universally ad-
mitted. He admits that the money now
in circulation has "lost its purchasing pow
Ell" and therefore it performs the office of
money no longer. Not less true is it, that
war can no more be carried on without
men than without money, aud the writer
breads to think of any further attempt to
fill the army at the expense of the pro-
duetive dependence of the Coufederacy. Of
white men they have none to spare,
and slaves they fear to experiment upon.
Such is the crucible in which the rebels
find themselves at the assembling of their
Congress They may well call aloud, and
call agonizingly, oft, even as the proph-
cts of Baal called to their god who was
asleepor on a journey, to save them. AS
in that great exigency they will cry in
vain. 1t is not in the power of the rebel
Congress to turn water up stream-to
contravene natural laws, and not even the
refining talents of all the ''boru rulers' of
whom we have been accustomed to hear.
can found a currency on contingency so
remote as treaty of peace and indepeu-
deuce with the United States, and make
it current, except at the point of the bay
ouet, in the South. Neither ia it in
the power of the same men to put two
or three hundred thousand slaves under
arms and at the same time save slavery.
We take it that such an effort would
be about like that of the genius who at
tempted to lift himself by his boots over the
fence. Turn the picture any which way
and the views presented by the writer in
the Enquirer have no encouraging aspects
for the Confederacy. Money and men-the
two great needs-the sine qua mons of war
are wanting by his own confession, and
to attempt to put forward the slaves as a
last desperate resource is but the dementa-
tion that proverbially precedes sure de-
struction.
