bG- A late Washington special says
that the President has already commenced
the preparation of his message. An alb
stract of the reports of various bureaus has
been furnished him. Nothing has trans
pired respecting the views it will take,
but it is understood tho President will
recommend the enactment of law abolish
ing slavery everywhere in the United
States Immediately and forever.

you nothing. Let us therefore permit no
further division of counsel or of effort, but
united to a man, let the entire loyalty Of
the Nation rush forward to the saving OF
the Government and the restoration of
peace and harmony, and soon a peace
worth the having will crown our victorious
eagles.

Thirty-two scattering votes were cast
1t will be noticed the Dem. majority is
13 less than it was in October.
Whole vote cast, 4,742; whole vote

BY these figures, it appears that In all
tie States Except possibly Tennessee and
Louisana) now voting for President, our
candidates have majority of 3S5, 800 on
the popular vote, and 215 electoral votes
70 the opposition 21 The same States in
1860 gave l3S,1O4 against Lincoln, al
though he had 16S electoral votes to 40
for all others The entire vote in 1860
was-Union, 1864, ,523; Democratic, l.
723,099 What do you think of the ex-
hibit, We who have been preaching that
Abe Lincoln is usurper, and that the
voice of the people would not sustain him
in the efforts he has made and is making
TO save the Union :?
In Pennsylvania, we have done nobly.
Large Union gains are reported from
nearly every county, and it is certain that,
from mere nominal figure in October,
our majority on the home vote will reach
$4,000. The soldiers vote will increase
this to so, 900 beyond doubt.
In New York we have made tremendous
gains. In 1860, the Democratic majority
was 10000; now the Union majority is
$500. But best of all, Governor Seymour,
tie vilest of all vile copperheads, is beaten
for Governor by Reuben Z. FentoD, Union,
by about 5000 votes. This is of itself a
triumph second only to the reelection Of
Lincoln.
In the New England States, we increase
our aggregate majority 10000 votes over
the majority of 1860.
Maryland four years ago gave 81 ,0Oc
Democratic majority; now sho gives
10000 Union.
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin.
Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa in 1866
gave US an aggregate majority OF $4,000
now they give US 17S,00O.
In 1860, Missouri gave Democratic
majority of l31, 900 now she gives ma
jority for the other side Of 5000.
New Jersey, Delaware and Kentucky
(M'C.ellan's forlorn hope) four years age
gave Democratic majority of 10000
now they only give 3O,5OO
With regard to congressman, the Ncu
York Tribune says there is no doubt we
have secured the requisite majority oi
two. thirds in the House whereby Slavery
is to be abolished and forever prohibited
throughout the Union.
Reader, you haye summary of the
result before you. Does it not teach you

ANOTHER CONVENTION. The secession peace
Democrst'oi the ultra stripe give outn speeches,
aud through their papers, that there is to be
another Democratic Convention to nominate a
candidate who is for peace all the time, and no
mistake and who cannot be made 20 even allude
to " Interior consequences, or the " Union at
all hazards" after the Mcclellan STYLE This
effort to make division among the Democracy
will, however, proves tzzIe The majority of
the peace men are satisfied with Mcclellan. aud
believe there is no disagreement between his
letter and the Chicago platform. The leaders,
such as Ben Wood Vaandigham, and Sam
Medary, will buster awhile and threaten seces

candidate OF the party makes terms with them,
and then they will support him again as cheer.
fully aud enthusiastically us they did the first
few days after Chicago, Mcclellan goes in for
Union, be says, at all hazards, and we may be
sure he will see to il that there is union ia tho
ranks OF his party aud inasmuch as he is the
compromise candidate, he will he able to
a conclliate" the factions, either by private
assurances Of agr' ement with them in opinion
or private promises of the spoils OF Office. All
wings of the Democracy, except the really War

before November, presenting at the polls a solid
front for the Great Retreater.

WARLIKE.-Ths Chicago Convention when
talking about rebellion, was as gentlc as sucking
dove, but it could threaten war fast enough
against the Administration, as is evident from the
following plank in its platform
Resolved, That the direct interference of tn.
military authority Of the United States in recent
elections held in Kentucky, Maryland Missouri
aud Delaware, was shameful violation of the
Cons tuition, and repetition of such acts in the
approaching election will be held as revolutionary
and resisted with all the means and power under
our control.
II the Convention had only had the pluck to
say that jeff. Davis rebellion was rsvoutions-
~ and would be resisted with all the mean. and
power under ito CONTROL" it would have shown
pltrlotism as we'll as courage, and knocked from
under treason its strongest support But no the
Convention had nothing but ovc.brAnehes and
honey for the treatment Of it reserved
its vinegar and gall and swords 10 be used against
the Government
And by the way, the above resolution il sup
posed to be the direct inspiration Of poor Frank
PIERCE whom our readers will remember as once
President of the United States. Pierce wasn't
at the Convention, but wrote letter to friend

" Have you Heard how Maine Went,
Went. Went. Went ~

The Union victory in Maine last Monday was
complete. Gov. Cony is reelected, by nearly
20 600 majority, on a lighter vote than las,
year. Every Member Of Congress is Union,
which is gain of one since the last election. The
Senate is nearly if not wholly Union, and in the
House the Unionists have more than two to the
copperheads one. This is the peoples response
to Chi5ngoi and it is hardly surprising that some
of our Democratic contemporaries can't muster the
courage necessary to announce the result.
