OUR VICTORY.

Ar. Editor:
Victory has once more per9hed upon
the Union Republican Biuaer Of our
country, and such victory too, Z" is
seldom gained by any party uudor SINH

and fierce. The bogus rebel Democracy

power, to gpin the dsy, Money. fraud.

end made TO tell in its behalf But q
righteous cause.-the cause Of justice and
humaniy-moying forward under the
smiles Of benign Providence, was an
enemy too formidable and po'snt, and
corruption and deception has fallen be-
fore il. And the great Republican par
~ Of the cOunty all covered with glory
is master Of the situation. She las
swept the platter. anil behold, she stands
in he field Of csoljo, erect, her snoimie'
under her feet, aud the banner Of liberty
unrurled to the breeze and streaming
DER her, with the iuvincible chietRin Of
Appoma;,ox at her head.
But it i. one thing to get the victory
ond another to keep il. And this is a
question of no little moment. There
was trinity of principles for which the
Republican party fought in this contest
We wrote upon our banners, Liberty for
ali | Justice for oil Protection for all
and by that sign we conquered. In this
contest We did not appeal to the baser
passions Of the human heart a. our op.
ponsals ill, but 70 the higher aud no.
bier instincts Of our nature, Jvs;ice,
Truth, Humanity and Love for the
race without regard to nationality, con-
dillon or cast. Il proclaimed 10 the
world that it sough! TO enfranchisc ralh'

to crush down; 10 build up rather lhsa

Of mankind; and for his We were de.

broad land. We are the only party lhut
stood by and gave protection ami help

the only party that rObuked and de-
nouncsd those outrSges that sIigma'iEed
Us as nation 10 the eyes Of tie whole

zoned with these principles We vent
forth into tho contest, aud wo1. And
now, since the din and clat'er Of the
conflict has ceased. and the smoke Of
the battlefield has disappeared, we behold
them still there inscribed as before 10
