THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

The following extract from the Boston
Post, paper which most vigorously oppos-
ed the reelection of Mr.. LINCOLN, is in
striking contrast W tn the tone of many of
the Democratic" organs in this vicinity.
The sentiment is that Of true patriot who
is not disposed to make the spirit of polis
cal canvass rule for his course during the
four years of an established Administration
We commend it to the consideration of pa
triotic Democrats everywhere
''Now that the people have given their
verdict for the reelection of Mr. Lincoln,
the minority are everywhere resolving to
support the constituted authorities. 1t is
not too strong to say that there is well-nigh
united North in purpose to maintain the
integrity of the nation, and that in every
town and city, and state, the people are for
saying to the commander-in-chiefo of the ar
my and navy, hold on and hold out until the
United States flag floats over the whole OF
the Republic. :;

STTLT, AT WAR

The opposing factions of the Democracy
are not more vindictive towards the Union
party than they are towards each other
Each charges the other with infdelity to
their candidates, and thus endeavors to ac-
count, in some measure, for their recent dis
astrous defeat. The Cleveland PLAIN Deal
err one of the organs Of the War Democrats,
attributes the defeat of Gov. Seymour In
New York, to the refusal of some ten thou
sand of the peaceat any price men to vote.
The New-York Daily Ne,cs, the peace Or
gan par excellence, blames his defeat on the
War Democrats This is the natural result
of the two-faced policy of Chicago. We do
not believe that Seymour lost the vote of
one peace man. They all supported him.
There were many War Democrats who op-
posed his reelection because of his consist
ent infdelity to the principles. he at first
professed. Next to the reelection of Pres
ident Lincoln, Seymour's defeat was the
most gratifying result of the late canvass.

ANOTHER CENTENARIAN FoTER-Mr
VIM. NJ Farland, of Cowanshannock town
ship, Armstrong county, is, we are in iorm-
ed: I04 years Of age, and, for one Of his
years, IS still quite vigorous. He voted for
Gen. WASHINGTON, and at every Presidential
election since. Like Deacon Phillips, and
numerous other patriarchs, he voted on the
8th instant, for ABRAHAM LINCOLN He
abominates rebels and their aiders and sym
pathizers as he did the tories in his youth.
The pristine fires Of patriotism still glow in
the breasts of the venerable men who passed
through the fiery ordeal of the Revolution.
May they all live to see our present terrible
ordeal safely passed, and permanent union
and peace restored.-Kttanniag Press.

mont, the German jew, who was the Dem
ocratic party machine in this country in the
interest of the Rothchilds and European
monarchists, does business under Il sort of
bogus name, according to the Brooklyn
Times That paper asserts that Belmont :
real name is ,ychoeobnrger, and the name
Belmont is French translation. He seems
to be ashamed Of his German origin and
rightly enough the loyal Germans are asham-
ed of him. He is the man who aided by
the Rothschilds, does more to keep up the
price of gold in this country than probably
any dozen other men, 1t is about time
Americans were ashamed Of him, as well as
the Germans.

Enrolment of Militia

a general order has been issued from Har-
risburg to the commissioners of the several
counties in Pennsylvania directing the i'm
mediate enrolment and classification of the
militia, under the provisions of the new mi
litia law. This is a move in the right direc-
ton. 1t is contemplated, We believe, to or
ganize and equip force of $4,000 men at
an early day. Pennsylvania will be prepar-
ed, when this is done, promptly to repel all
future Inyasions of this State should the Reb-
els ever have the hardihood to attempt an

THE OCTOBER VOTE.

For the satisfaction Of inquiring friends of
all parties, we print the following official
statement of the Secretary Of the Common
wealth, concerning the vote of Pennsylya-
MIA at the October election;
HARRISBURG, PA, Nov 16, 1864.
To THE EDITOR OF THE \. Y. TRIBUNE:
Sir: The statement made in THE Tri-
bune' few days since that the Democrats
had several hundred majority on the Home
vote, as cast in Pennsylvania, has brought
hundreds Of letters from without the State
for certified copies OF the Home vote.
To save a very large correspondence, will
you please to state that the official vote, as
certified to this office from most OF the coun-
ties, includes the entire vote, without any
thing to distinguish between the votes pol
led at home and those in the army
| have made application TO the Prothono-
taries for separate returns, but am told that
they have given the returns as certified to
them by the Return Judges, and that as
that body has adjourned sine de, there is no
way of getting them together again. 1t Is
therefore impossible to obtain the official
Home vote" from number of the cOun-
ties, and as the vote was so close as to re-
qnire the official returns to decide it, the
fact as to who had the majority can never
be known nor officially announced.
The Home" and Soldiers vote combin-
ed, as returned for Members Of Congress,
is as follows:

From Gen, Sheridan.

A report being current that Early had left
the Shenandoah valley, Gen. Sheridan sent
:. cavalry force 10 make a reconnaissance and
ascertain the position and probable strength
of any rebel force that might be in the val
ley. On the 23d our cavalry came upon the
rebels at Rood's Hill, where six hours severe
fighting took place-during which our boys
made several splendid charges. The object
of the expedition having been accomplished,
our forces retired-their loss being sixty in
the engagement with the enemy.

TIE WAR NEWS
SHERMAN,

Sherman is still marching on" The
steamer Herman Livingston has arrived at
Annapolis with ,246 paroled prisoners from
Savannah, and she brings news that the ex-
change of prisoners has ceased, Sherman
having cut the railroad leading to Savannah.
1t was supposed he had liberated all our
prisoners as he was only about six hours
march from the stockade when the men who
arrived in the Herman Livingston left. 1t
was reported at Savannah that Macon and
Milledgeville had both fallen
The rebel papers are forbidden to publish
the particulars of Sherman 5 march, but we
gather from the little they do say, that he
has been eminently successful, and that his
progress cannot be successfully impeded.
Our next issue will, no doubt, contain au-
thentic news of the triumphant success of
this most wonderful Undertaking in history

Now AND THEN.-Four years ago on
Tuesday, Nov. sth, one vote was given at
Kingston polls, Missouri, for Abraham Lin
coin. The man who gave that vote was
VIM. Spiyey, .ir., now veteran in the 18th
Missouri cavalry and for giving it he was
threatened with coat of tar and feathers,
and a free ride upon a rail- Those were the
arguments used by slavery when it had the
power, upon those who opposed it.
Last Tuesday, Abraham Lincoln received
at Kingston polls seventy-six votes, and but
six were given against him. What nigh
ty change! The six votes were cast for a
man who was known to be the friend of
slavery and vet, Notwithstanding the polls
were surrounded by men, with muskets in
their hands. who had sworn eternal hostility
to the accursed institution which has done
so much to drape their houses with mourn
ing, not word was said nor t! reat was
made against the men who cast those six
votes. How different are the arguments
used by Freedom and slavery ?-kngston

The utter decentralization of that
portion of the republican party which
alheres to Lincoln is fact which the
people long ago colnprehended. We
do not propose, therefore to attempt
any serious refutasion Of the many per-
sonal slam lers upon their democratic
candidates to when their energies are
now devoted. Mcclellan and Pendle-
ton are .s we'll known to the people for
,he invariab|e pur ty Of their lives and
the nobility which eharac terizes all
their public acts, as Lincola is for pre-
cissly the reverse Characters les. The
number who can he duped az to the is-
ssue before the people is few, aud We
prefer they should adhere to the for
tunes Of Llncola, that political igaor
ance and political vice may enjoy =
common funeral und common grave
in November.
As for Lincoln, there is no occasion
to make personal charges other than
those admitted by his political friends
or by himself. HIS moral deformities
are matter Of general notoricty. His
Inconsistencies, his obscsnetes, his
want of priu cip!e, his treachary to the
constitution, his falsshoood to.his oath,
