lion, and asked whether nc could cOuscieHtious'y
advise the withdrawal, even for week, Of even
one tCRime from the service He could not
respond snrmatiycy; he gave up the quest aud
went on his way. And our armies in the field
have not been weakened by single regiment to
strengthen the Union cause for the recent cleo
tons.
A few soldiers have been furoughed, mainly
from hospitals; but the Indiauians deprived of
their votes by reason Of their absence from home
in the national service would have given nearer
twenty thousand than ten thousand majority for
the Union ticket. Yet Indiana is carried high
and dry by the Unionists, who have made a
cleaner sweep of the State than any Irty ever
made before. Their Presidential canvass is yir-
tuRllv ended, and they can hCucefOrth help their
less fortunate ncighbOrs. And all do know that,
whom Indiana goes this way, neither Illinois nor
any other State Of the free West is likely to 20
the other.
OF Ohio, less need be said. because her
UDionists have neither been distrustiul nor dis.
trusted, Nobody imagined that they would
again pile up such an enormous majority as that
whereby she last year elected Nallandighlm to
stay in Canada; but all felt that she must 20 as
sho weut last year, though not so oovcrwhemingly
But the result has far surpassed our most san
guine hopes. The aggregate popular ma jrty
cannot iAli below sixty thousand, when the
soldiers vote shall have beeu returned while our
gain of members Of Congress is certainly ten and
may be tiCct1c or over.
In other words, we have fifteen to seventeen
Unionists chosen TO the next Hou.e, instead of
ire TO fourteen) in this and the fourteen include
Pend!eton, Long, S. 5. Cox, and other of tho
ilerc0st foes Of the Administration. The victory

tically out of the Presidential contest
Pennsylvania Is not; and yet she has given a
large Lincoln majority ut this election, while the
votes of her great Union rOnghOlds-Alcgheny,
Lancaster, Chester lDdIana, Erie, &c. &c,-are
not nearly poled ont, because no adequate
motive for eXertion was presented 70 many Union
lists. Allegheny county will give ten thousand
majority for Lincoln, though she has now (eXclu-
sive of the soldiers yotes) given much lcsS Ian
caster is good for 6OOO, though she has nov given

Philadelphia on our side, Bc-ks on the other.
were well fought but Philadelphia was an cxcep-
ton TO the gen raj rule. When the soldiers votes
are all in and counted, the State will nc found TO
have given not less than 10000, ani probably
nearer 20 900, majority for the Union ticket,
elelting sixteen to eighteen Union representa-
tives In Congress out Of twenty -four, which stand
equally divided In the present House. aud there Is
no doubt of decided Union majority In both
branches of the Legislature. We can do great
deal better than this in November; but this IS
enough for the present. PennsylvAnia has no
more idea of voting for Mcclellan than for JoG
Davis himself.
Uniousts of all the States we can sweep the
deck If we will New Jersey is going With us;
Maryland is clearly for us; the hardes5 States To
: carry for Lincoln are kertIcky, Delaware, and
Missouri. But Price wit soon be skeladdling
from Missouri, with halfthe CUpperhea Is Of that
State in his train; Delaware will now go right;
and even Kentucky will yield to the majest
current. Let us resolve 70 carry every State not
under the heel Of Jgh. Davis! We can't We will.
