predominance and no merely personal pre-.
ludice against Mr.. johnson, have produced
.he overwhelming majorilies against the
Democratic candidates A simple determi
nation that the whole results Of the war and
Its sacrifices should hN conserved and that
the inequalities and injustice which made
them neediul should be entirely redressed
and removed, has led the American people
through the most serious crisis in their later
history, not only with safety, but in triumph
The mistake of the politicians of the Cabinet
has been in forgetting the change this dis
cipline has wrought A nation is not the
same before and after such a baptism as
that which the American people have gone
through, any more than the frightened tribes
on the Egyptian side of the Red Sea were
the same as the triumphant host which
emerged from it into the Sinaitic wilderness.
Ihey might have yielded at Pharaoh's chal-
engo on the other side-they would havo
fought him on the other side. Tho old poll.
tieians clearly expected the North to yield
10 bluster, as OF old They knew that the
habit of concession, cherished for fifty years,
was strong, and momentary wayering raised
their hope that 1t would reassert its power.
But the wavering was but momentary. II
indicated no want of settled purpose or of
courageous will. AssOon as the issue became
clear the result was certain. The history OF
American compromises is at an end; and
tho history of the application OF American
principles to the difficulties of federal gov.
eminent has begun. The President aud
ms advisers, the Southern leaders and the
Northern Democrats would have continued
the old record, beginning a new chapter Of
compromises with inequality and concessions
to injustice. But the new leaf lie turned, and
the moral of the late elections is that there
Is no power on the continent which can turn
II back again
Another day or two will bring us the full
details of the November contests, with the
broad result of which the Atlantic telegraph
has acquainted us. We already know that
new era has begun for the Republic, that
the victories OF peace arc succeeding to the
victories of war, and that the conquests of
both are safe. Mr.. Johnson's attitude to-
wards Congress when It meets, strengthened
by knowledge Of the character of its success
sor, Will make no permanent difference to
any but himself; at most ii will only decide
whether the new era of reconstruction shall

Coi. John W. Forney has written letter
10 Senator Worthington of Chester County,
requesting him to withdraw his name from
the Republican caucus as a candidate for
United States Senator TO succeed Edgar
Cowan, and expressing his preference for
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens for that distinguish
ed position. We sincerely regret that Col.
Forney has resolved upon this course. In
the absence of loyal Senator from Della
ware, we entertained the hope that the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania would select this
gentleman. There is no man in that State
better acquainted with the wants and ne
cessities of our people than Col. Forney, or
none who would be more able to aid us in
our struggle 10 free Delaware from the
political hCresies which are retarding the on

We look to Congress to relieve us from the
deplorable condition in which we are placed
by Copperhead legislation; hence we require
the assistance of so noble an advocate as
Col Forney in the Senate of the United
States, in our behalf Mr. Stevens is gem
tleman of eminent ability and sound patriot
ism, and if elected, will doubtless represent
the Keystone State in faithful manner, and
fearlessly defend those great principles which
are the corner stone of our Republican in
stitutons; but the intimate knowledge of Col.
Forney with our political situation, and the
earnest he has always given OF his willing
ness to uphold our interests, renders him a
peculiar favorite with the loyal men of the
Diamond State, who would rejoice to see
him elevated to seat in the Senate Of the
nation.
