day. The magnificent victory which we an
nounce to-day has been won indeed by q
great united and determined political par
ty, but 1t has been won by q party for the
salvation OF a people. 1t brings to the de-
feated the same blessings which it insures
to the victOrs. 1t ia the triumph of union
over disunion. Of order and of the law over
the spirits of disorder and OF anarchy ; of

not. to thank God for the work which was
yesterday done In all our past history no
sublinar spectacle has been presented to
the world than this. When the armies of
the Republic, flushed with victory, melted
quietly back into the great body of the
people at the close Of the civil war, the po-
po. itical philosophers of all nations stood
%astonished at the result. How much gran
der is the sight which we witness to-day,
of a gigantic political revolution, planned,
begun and carried out, without the firing
OF a shot in anger. by the simple exertion
of the popular will, working through the
legitimate forms and in the traditional spir

doubtless seems as a simple and natural
thing enough; to foreign observers and to
those who come after us, it will assume it's
true proportions, and it will stand in histO
ry as the noblest imaginable vindic ttion of
the wisdom and the faith of those great
men who founded our nationality on the
principles regarded in their time as wild
and utopian. and even in our own DAYS dis
honored hut too often by the distrust snd
the contempt of Americans unworthy of
their great heritage of freedom.
