least. BY this result we lose two mem

justice may yet be done, in the premises.
From Maryland we turn with pride to

With 10000 majority, electing her full
Republics a delegation to Congress, and
a Legislature Of the same way of think
Jag. Next comes
WISCONSIN,
Which carries everything before it, net
leaving resting place for sham Democ-

NEVADA,
From the western slope of the Hockey
mountains, comes words of cheer to the
States of the East. Nevada, too, has
gone for the Union, by decided ma

Thus ends this important chapter in
our political history, by the great Free

certain. Surely in all this the loyal mil
lions have great cause of gratitude for
such grand deliverence from those. who
had betrayed them into the hands of
their enemies aud the enemies of human
liberty.
