THE RESULT.


After the most extraordinary campaign
ever waged in Pennsylvania, tna loyal
men have achieved final aai decisive
Victory. Andrew johnson refcraI his

seats; Treason must be made odious and
that the future Of this great nation mus.
not be disturbed by any future setassions
and rebellions." In every Congressional
district, where the people could speak
without fear or favor, the defeat Of Cop
perheadism is overwhelming la all their
stroDgholds our cause has made most no.

thousand in Philadelphia aud other dis
tricts, that Copperheadism gained on our
vote
The day was truly grand one Never
before in the whole history of or country
was such a spectacle presented. \ loyal
people, unawed by Executive threats, and
urcorrupted by Presidential patronage,
lavishIy and publicly thrust upon all who
we're supposed to be purchasoa5lc, have
Issued their orders and given their ulti-
matum. BY an increase Of at least two
congressman, the delegation in Congress
from this STATE will be stronger and bold
err than ever John Covode, the worst
thorn in the side Of the Democracy Of
any man in this State, has been returned
from this district, composed of Indiana,
Fayette and Westmoreland counties, by
35S majority. Col. Henry Cake, one Of
the most popular men IN the State, Is
elected from the Scnuylkill and Lebanon
district, by 2l5 majority. In Philadel-
phia we lose one Senator, by the election
of u lillian McCandless over Jeremiah
Nichols. This district has the navy yard
in it, ana was colonized by some $500 |
voters from the South and other parts of
the country, sent there by Andrew john
son and His tools, in order to defeat the |
viii of the people. Had Andrew John.
son remained true to the party, our ma
jority would, i'll all probability, have reach
ed in that city twenty or twenty-five thou
sand. But his treacAery and bribery have
only called forth from the people greater
effvrts, and be is answered in manner
that should teach him lesson for all time.
