From the New York world.l
PEsNsYLyANIA-eHI0- YORK
The news from Pennsylvania, which
we published yesterday, confirmed our
expectations; that which We publish TINS
morning from Ohio fills the measure OF
our hopes. The people Of both these
States have cast the majority OF their
votes for the candidates OF the Democra-
cy. SO say our latest dispatches from
Ohio, and they cannot be far wrong. AT
the worst our victory is all but over,
whelming. Beyond all question, too, viii
the people Of the Empire State, IN mo-
vember, roll up majority doubling, yes
trebling their Joint majorites. Six mil
lion people have spoken. To these the
four millions of New York will join their
voice, and this is their response to Maine
and California;
=" So Jura answers from her lofty peaks -,
Back TO thejoyous Alps. who call on her aloud
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
the first the Empire State, and the second
and third of all the States OF the Union;
the three most wealthy, populous and
intelligent of all +; the foremost three IN
all the arts and victories Of peace, and
weiphties in war; the annual products
of whose industry is double that OF any
other three, and more various; whose
garnered wealth surpasses that OF any
six of their sister States; whose CON-
merce on our inland seas, and upon all
oceans, surpasses the commerce OF all
il is these three States which now are
laundering, with the voice Of their ten
millions Of people, an indignant, unani'
nous veto upon the proceedings and the
policy Of the party in power
1t is high time for voice so potent to
make itself heard. Our sons were led
by thousands to fruitless slaughter, yet
is was dumb. Heaping up to mortgage
the industry and abridge the joys Of our
selves and our children and our children,s
children, rose a mountain OF debt, yet 1t
was dumb. Two years of peace, which
failed to restore the Union, were added
to the four years OF war which failed,
and like those years were spent by
shameless partisans in plans to prolong
their hold upon power they had usurped
power prostituted to the stirring up
anew of strife that had ended; prosti-
tuted to the imposition of military
despotism upon ten sovereign States
prostituted to the crushing down
of an already conquered people
our brethren, our kinsmen-and to the
lifting up into sole supremacy there OF
an ignorant, degraded race; prostituted
to the Gripping of Northern industry by
reckless taxes and monstrous "protec-
tive" tariffs, and to the throttling of
Southern industry by the denial of order
and law under which it might ere this
have well revived prostituted to the de-
NAL of any reconstruction laws for
and then to the framing Of such
as would longest postpone their preten-
ded purpose, and then to the heaping of
distractions, restrictions and penalties
upon these-yet still it was dup.o.
Long suffering and patient, indeed,
with their servants have the Northern
people been. High time, indeed, was it
that the puissant voice of these their
masters should be heard; saying, as
Pennsylvania and Ohio have said, and
New York will say:-Let strife cease :
Let peace prevail Let law revive; Let
The Union live.
