drawn-never WAS the triumph more
emphatic and crushing, II was
Justice against oppression; equal
rights against prescription an hon
est ballot against systematic fraud /;
honest money against false dollars ;
protection against free trade peace
and prosperity against doubt, un-
certainly aud danger the principles
OF Lincoln and Seward against those
OF Lee aud Jackson in word, the
National Cause against the Lost
Cause. Nay moro, on the one side
it was the worst ends aimel at by
the worst means. The Democratic
managers flung all pretcnse Of prin-
ciples to the winds. They tranpled
upon their own platform, stultltied
their own declarations, aud belied
their own pledges. They threw
aside all show OF fair discussion an
entered upon a shameful crusade OF
slander, defamation and crime.
And this glorious result is the ver-
dict of the people not merely upon
the odious Democratic cause but
upon the scaudalous Democratic
methods OF fraud, falsehood, forg cry
and false pretenses.
The triumph is grand for its i'm
mediate etfects-it is grander still
because it shows that the heart OF
the people is sound and trusty. Tue
loyal masses have risen in their ina
jesty, and by their clear intelligence
and their sturdy fidelity have rescu-
ed the Imperfect interests Of the
nation. They have declared that u
Solid South shall MT rule the Re-
public it fought to destroy. They
proclaimed that the cause which was
lost on the field shall not be regain
ed in the forum. They have given
notice that NJ ruthless hands shall
strike down the protective principle
which has built mp our spls ndid in
dusy ries. They hlve thu ndered ou
