rHE RESULT ut THE ELECTIONS

THE RESULT or THE ELECTIONS.
In examining the result of the Fall
elections. even the most sanguiIe ol
tue Union party must be startled al
such a grandly glorious result. The
total popular majority is 4O4, 900 in
all the States, and we have made o
gain all told OF about six Reptesen.
tatives and two or three Senators.
From the time, and previous tc
Philadelphia Convention, desperate
cfosts were made by johnson and
the Conservatives and Copperhcads
TO change the political complexion OF
the country. On the part Of John
son and the Conservatives, no more
desperate moves could have been
made for q desperate cause. The
President talked to the people with
an affectionatc "I've. got. a. IN mortgage.
upon. YOU manner" threw his record
in their faces, and expressed him.

they nominated soldiers in some
places, chewing their record on the
war, and set themselves up as pat
riots. They traduced everything
that was good, lied without ceasing,
denounced the taxation, preferring
to appeal to the pockets of the peo.

In the face Of all this style of work
the people have put popular verdict
against this party Of 404 1000.
There Is amoral in this result which

and good principles IN politics are as
necessary to success Us breathing is

WHOM DOES WENDELL PHILLIPS
LIKE

Wendell Phillips is lecturing thro'
New York, and US usual, is pitching
into every body. Grant gets diti
on his ear, Sherman on his nose, Con.
gress between its eyes, rebels across
the mouth, and Copperheads below
the belt. Wendell is n great man
at least SO he thinks; but what does
he intend to make by such general
onslaught? lie seems to like nobody
does anybody ike him.
Here We come TO our first inquiry
whom does Wendell Phillips like'
Why, Wendell Phillips, Of course.
He has too many brains for practi-
cal man, and thinks mankind begins
and ends with himself.

FROM MEADVILLE,

EDIToHs LEADER Although the types
played the deuce with my last letter, I can
not resist the temptation to take up the pen
and try to give you an idea of the progress
of things in the string town of Meadville.
and you must excuse me if l confne myself
to items in regard to our fire department,
which, since our last lively fire, has grown
to be one of the institutions of the town.
We now nave a Silsley Steamer, same pat
tern and style Of those in your city, with
Mr.. David Boyd, formerly connected with
the Cleveland Fire Department, as Engin-
eer of the "Masheen." She was tried here
on the day of her arrival, and gave univer-
sal satisfaction. We have, also a Hook and
Ladder Company organized, which is com
posed of some Of the best material in town,
in the way of bone and sinew. A Commit
tee have gone to New York to purchase the
apparatus, and we soon expect to see them
out in full force. On the 4th Of January,
1866, there was also organized a Hose Com
pany, under the auspicec of R. NJ. N. Tay-
lor, the same being known as Taylor Hose
No. l, Meadville." This organization was
proposed by Mr.. Taylor, and a company Ct
young men, thirty in number, are now
ready for service, with a complete outfit
from hats to hose carriage and hose. The
whole uniform and the apparatus WAS fur
nished by Mr.. Taylor individually. On the
18th Of February they have their first pa
rade, and on the night of the 18th of Feb
ruary they give their first annual ball, at
the McHenry House, which, under the
management ofthe courteuos landlord of the
same, cannot prove otherwise than agree
able and a success. No pains will be spared
on the part Of all concerned to make this
the ball of the season. The Common Coun-
Gil have also appointed a Chief Engineer
and Assistants, Mr.. J. D. Gill of the firm Of
Gill & Shryock, being the present incum
bent, and q very efficient man. So you see
one or two lively fires have been the means
of getting up quite e farore here, warmly
speaking, and Meadville will soon have a
Fire Department of which she may well be
proud. Yours, in haste,
P%HIRENAY.
