MAIN Z. :
A GLORIOUS VICTORY.
Unparalleled Majority.

The news comes from Maine that
the Union cause has triumphed in that
state by the unprecedented and unexpec-
ted majority of 30,000I This is q
Union gain over the vote of 1864 of Isl
00Ol! The first Congressional district,
which approached the neare st to doubt
full of any in the state, and which would
therefore be the most desperately fought
for by the demJohnsons, returns Lynch,
Union Republican, by about 1000 ma
jority-a gain Of fifteen hundred since
1851
Vermont shows Union gain of fve
thousand, and Main follows with a gain
of ten Mous0nd!!
The Union work goes bravely on
The cause of right aud justice triumphs.
The deserters from the ranks of the
army of liberty are meeting their reward.
The N. Y. Herald of the day before
the election. claimed that the Johnson
party would elect half, and possibly all
of the Congressman from Maine.

Gen. G. C. VVashBnrn.

1t is not necessary for US to inform our
readers Who Gen. @. G. WAsHBURE is.
His name and record are familiar to every
voter in this District and ia the State.-
His history is part Of the history of
the country. In the trial years preeed-
ing the var, he stood in Congress. stead
fast in bic adherence to right political
principles, and WHEN traitors, defeated in
legislation, appealed TO the sword, he
promptly met them on the new field to
which the contest IVES transferred.
There are some who preferred the
nomination Of another man, bot there is
no doubt but the great mass of the party
were in favor Of Gen. Washburn's nOmi-
nation. 1t was felt that in the contest now
going on, it Is tie duty Of tine Union
party TO put forEsrJ lis abiest, and strong
est and most experienced men, and that
private preferences should be held sub
ordinste TO the public good. Gen. Wash
burns nomination Is in itself Al assurance
of victory aud declaration of faith -
The name Is a.synonvm for political in
tegrity, ard unfaltcring devotioE to the
Union cause. Everywhere, as the light
ming flashed the tidings of his nomiua-
ton, loyal men knew that the Sixth Dis
trict stands firm, and means that the men
who saved this country shall rule it. His
election is sure, but 1t should be matter
Of pride and duty to roll up q majority
for him, unequsIIed before, ~! eloquent
in its affirmation Of the position of the
people.

The Convention.

The Convention at Lacrosse, which
placed Gen. WAsHBURN in nomination
for Congress. was the largest ever held
IN this District, and the best feeling pre-
vailed. Its full proceedings Will be found
on the fourth page of this paper. Hon
7. @. PoUND and Hon. W. 7. PRICE
each pledged their active support to the
nominee. The speech of Judge PRICE
before the Convention was a most elo
quent and unanswerable argument in
support of the position Of the Union par
ty. Beside the delegates, many leading
political men were in attendance at the
Convention, and the report from every
part of the District was that the Union
party remains intact. alike undismayed by
Presidential opposition and unseduced by
Executive power.

The Philadelphia Convention,

The Convention of Southern LOyalists.
and Union delegates from the Northern
States, held at Philadelphia last week,
was the grandest political demonstration
ever witnessed in this country. We have
not room for even a synopsis of the pro
ceedings. The people delighted to hon.
or those who honored the Old Flag, and
were loyal and true, even at The sacrifice
of treasure and the peril of life. The
enthusiasm was unboundOd, and the city
shook with the mighty tread of triumph
ant professions loyal men and bloomed
with banners as countless and bright as
the stars 10 Heaven.
The Address of the Southern Loyal
lists is mastery statement of the nation
al situation--a terrible rebuke TO the
apostates from the Union cause-aud a
touching and powerful plea to the people
that the Government shall protect those
who have been faithful to it. 1t urges
the adoption ofthe Constitutional Amend
ment, and adhesion to the policy Of Con-
gress as the only security for loyal men.
The Republican Union party is no
sectional party. In every Southern State
true men believe in its principles and
long for their triumphant success. AS
the beleaugered and starving garrison
watches for the expected relief, so wait
the loyalists of the South for the time
when the principles of that party shall
form a part of the organic law of the
land, and they be delivered from the rule
of those who submit to the Government,
only because they are not strong enough
TO destroy it.

Henry Ward Beecher's recent letter to
Gen. Halpine and others, showed that
be had brought ur in the Johnson eddy,
towards which he has been drifting for
some time. In subsequent explanatory
letter, he reafhrms his position, but insists
that he still is and shall continue to be a
Republican. This is IS foolish, as If
some member Of Mr.. Beecher's church
SHOULD take to gambling, drinking and
general rOwdying, yet insist that he still
was member of the church, in good
standing, and would not leave on account
Of mis- peculisr notions about the piety
of such practices. Mr.. Beecher should
reflect on the text, "No man can serve
two masters"
The Tribune, in closing mastery
dissection Of Mr.. Beecher's letter says:
Mr.. Beecher has achieved a sudden
aud wide popularity. In the conception
of ever black-Ieg, duelist, negro killer,
and rowdy, from the St. John to the
Rio Grsnde. he has all at once ceased 10
he fanatic, Il bigot, disu ionist, and
become an enlightened patriot and states
man. His praises are freely mingled
with the blssphemies of the Hook and
the ribsldry of TIE Sunday Mercury
There is not in all the land enc considers
''niggers very well in their place." but
that place under the feet of the
whites, who does not thank him for his
letter. The thugs of New Orleans are
by this time enjoying it, and Gen. For
rest weuld gladly preside at a meeting
called expressly to ratify it. But there
is sadness in many hearts where the
eloquent pastor of Plymouth church
has been loved, honored-a mournful
consciousness that they have trusted too
conf1ingly and loved unwisely. "Little
chil1ren, keep your hearts from idols"
