THE VICTORY IN 1LYRyoys

Inc Republicans Of Illinois may Justly
claim That their victory on Tuesday Ia the
most signal and glorious Of the many victo-
rses achieved by the Union party In 1s5g.
They may point to their majority OF PITY
THOUSAND ns tue most gratifying proof vet
furnished BY any Northern State Of the rapsd
yet steady and certain growth Of Republican
principles among the people. True,
the majority In Massachusetts is numerically
greater than ours. bnt it far less significant.
IL "as expected; there was everything to as
sure II. The old Bay State has only main
talned her noble reputation, and given such
a majority as every one knew she would
give. There is. virtually, no opposition
1here; the only question is, whether the
people Will feel sufficient interest In public
anairs to turn out and vote. There
can be no growth of sentiment in q
state where there Is really no difference Of
opinion, which has been the case in Massa-
chusetts for several years. But In Illinois
the matter squite different. The Rcpubli-
cans here have gained the proul position
they now occupy. against many adverse iu-
fucrccs and circumstances, entirely IN.
known in New England; aud they have
gained 1t By untiring industry aud hard
work. In the first place, the southern part
Of Illinois was settled almost entirely hv
cmigrants from slayc statcs-from Een.
tucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and
Virginia. Our Southern border is necu,,ar1v
exposed to Southern Influences: nnd son,h.
ern Illinois has felt s1aycholdinp influence
more, even, tban Indiana. Kentucky barely
saved from open secession, was. and ia. as
bitterly hostile to free Institutions as Niss;s,
sirpi or Georgia, aud her power is heavily
felt in every election in tlss State.
The Republican party wns largely in til.
minority here at the time of its orran;za.
tion In 1856. Buchanau's minority over Fro.
mont was ten thousand, while the combined
of Buchanan and Fillmore was
forty.six thousand. In 1865 the Renuhl,cans
carried the State By four thousand and in
1850, when Mr.. Lincoln led the marty tn it,
first national victory, tl.;s majority VAS in.
creased to ten thousand, The disastrous
year Of 1sto, the time that tried mems snu1e
again saw the so-cal1cd Democratic narty
triumphant In Illinois BIZ over sixteen t1,on-
sand majority. But in 1864 Mr.. lin.
