INDIANA, $4,000
IOWA, 10000
Gains of Members of Congress.
The elections took place in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa on Tuesday last,
and as will be seen by the returns presented
below, resulted in great and glorious
triumph of the Union Republican party.
Everywhere the popular heart beats respon-
siye TO the Union of The States, although
the Copperheads, aided by Andrew johnson
and his myrmidons employed every means
in their power to produce different result.
Every kind of influence was brought 10 bear
to secure victory to the party that has
taken ground in favor of admitting rebels
and traitors to Congress that they might
consummate by legislation what they failed
to achieve in the field. But the "Brayc
Boys in Blue" aided by the loyal, patriotic
masses, have rallied in their strength at the
polls, and trailed the banner of secession
sympathizers in the dust, and planted the
gorgeous ensign of Freedom and Justice on
the citadel of the nation, there to float in
triumph until treason has been rendered
odious by the punishment of traitors, and
our country can be restored TO the proud
position it once occupied, without dishonor
and with the assurance that secession will
never again rear its hydra-head to destroy
the best form of government ever devised
by man. Union men OF Delaware will you
place our little State in this glorious galaxy,
or shall it be the only dark spot in the middle
States? If you would achieve a similar vic
tory to that of our friends in Pennsylvania,
you must work earnestly in The cause. Let
no honorable effort be spared TO secure n
triumph and all will be well. Organize
thoroughly in every school district, and make
arrangements to bring out every voter on
election day. Let Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana, and Iowa, be incentives to labor gal
lantly for the Union and the perpctuity of the
Republic. Now is the day and hour to do
