Vallandigham's Escort not needed in Cacle Sam's Lambs have met him on th way! Uncle Sam's Lambs bare met him on the TTOV! Uncle Sam's Lambs have met him on the n-av! And "we all are marching on! Since the elections of Tuesday, we think better of our fellow men than ever Ohio has covered herself all over with glory, nnd will give 100,000 majority against Val- landightm, the hope and champion of the rebels. The being will not bo needed to gnllunt him from' Canada, Pennsylvania, too, has repudiated all those who sympathize with Jeff. has said by mnjority, that the accursed Southern rebellion must crushed by the force of loyal men ought not, and will never compromise with rebels while in open rebellion against the Government. And young Iowa, wilh one of tbe best records for loyalty and bravery in tile country, chimes in to the tune of 40,000 majority for Stone, the Union candidate, and th-s, in tbundcr demands of the Government that it go forward and restore the Union and vindicate the laws.

Indiana also bears her testimony, by a decided majority against the treason ol her Voorbees and his copperhead associates and adherents. She has lost too many of her sons on the bloody battle-fields of the South west to have her fair fame tarnished with a suspicion of disloyalty. Nebraska, likewise, his spoken in fuvor of tbo Union, order and freedom. Glory enough lor one week! Let Illinois, also, on tbo 3d of November, wipe out the stiiin cast upon her otherwise fair fame, by the passage of "Walker's treasonable resolution, by her Legislature last winter, and the deep disgrace und infamy of electing Dick Eichardson to the United Stutcs Ifthedivisiensin the north be the only hope of the riibels, let the cause of that hopn perish in Illinois, as it done in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa and Indiana. Let it never be snid of Illinois that her people were ungrateful to the noble men who have stood between tbem and the deadly ball of the enemy; let us back our brave boys by our ballots, contribution ountenance aid support.

GLORIUS TWIOIf TRIUMPHS. 1, CROUCH'S MUfBlTT TBEHEKMOS, TEEASONBUEIEDINTHEli'OEIB. Tho news.from- the (lection it moat glorious and hearb-cheering. We never aup- posea that the traitorous Vallandigham would be elected, but the noble men of Ohio have done better than we ever dared to hope. He with his whole force of rebel sympathizers are routed and whipped to thoroughly that they will never again be able to rally their ed force.again on such an Brougb, the Union candidate it reported elected by.

a majority, in the State of: sixty thousands the will increase it to one hundred thousand. In Pennsylvania the contest will be close but we do not believe there is much doubt but Curtin will be re-elected, bv majority varying from 20,000 to majority. Since the above was written, reports have' arrived which Curtin's election certain. have received but few returns from this Stale, but judging from those already received, it is evident that the Union party carry the State by a much larger majority than it has ever before obtained. election returns, as far at heard from in this State, indicates a large Union majority.

In Indianapolis the Union majority is two thousand one gaia of six hundred. In every county and precinct beard from, the gains are comparatively as large. The Way Vote. The Copperhead papers have been vocifer- in their declarationi that a majority of the sympathized with them in their or peace, and that all tho resolutions from th army to the contrary were manufactured by the officers, and palmed off as the act of men. it now that they have a chance to ex press their views at the ballot box, wejshall be able to ascertain their real teelings on the subject.

The 37th regiment of Iowa volunteers, in this city, polled something over five Hundred votes yesterday, but of which Tuttle, the candidate of the peace party of that Slate, only received about thirty votes. "Wo also find the votes of a number of Ohio regiments, all of which vote in such a way at will not comfort Copperheads very much.

But It p'looos ta the clearest, strongest light the wicked unreasonableness of the rebellion, the religion, duty of all loyal citizens. As a vindication of the Washington cabinet, it Batatenpieeo of cogent argument. As an appeal to tho spirit ot the nation, it is snblime in 'the dlgaided simplicity of its eloquence. No nobler stato paper waa over penned. It is the manifesto of a truly groat man in an exigency of almost unequalled moment.

It is worthy of a Cromwell or a Washington. the calm heroism of.a Christian patriots-trusting in tho blouing of God upon dauntless in a jntemso.

Oh! So. That would have been entirely unconstitutional.

George McCoanell, after a neat speech, abounding pleasant personal allusions to the hero ot the evening, offered three appropriate of tie high appreciation in which the services of Gen. Orienoa are held, and of our determination tojspare no endeavors to secure a permanent triumph ever traitors of all torts. These resolutions, after being seconded in effective and pointed speeches by Messrs.

Gillett and Smith, were passed by the whole vast audience rising as one man. Then six little girls, tastefully attired In white, with sashes exhibiting the "red, white uioaies- We" place at the head of our columns the names of the Union candidates nominated at tbo late convention, held Zdwardsville for that purpose. They aregentlemen well known to the citizens of the county, and everyway worthy of their hearty support. But it is not so important who may be selected to fill these offices, although care should be taken even to do that, as it is to set old Msdison right as to the loyalty of her citizens. The Union party has adopted a platform which ignores all past political issues, and is based solely upon loyalty to tbe Government, and an active support of the Administration in its efforts to crush the rebellion.

There is not sentence or word in it which can be objected to by nny man who loves his country more than his party. And if. the candidates nominated by this party should be defeated it would give aid and comfort to the enemy, and be taken as an indication that thepeople of Madison are opposed to the further offensive prosecution of the war. It is very imporUnt then, that every true patriot exert himself from this time until the magnificent bushel. Then a trio of gentlemen sang original ode, composed for the pro duction highly creditable to its unknown author.

Glassell and sailing officer Tombs declare the expedition against tbo Ironsides was prompted by desperation. Th. citizens of Charleston are pinched for the simple commodities of life, and unlers the harbor can be forced so as Io admit vessels laden with supplies, tbe most serious consequences will ensue.
