LINCOLN & JOHNSON
ELECTED!
We announce to our readers the grand and glorious news of the triumph of the Union party in almost every State. Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson are most triumphantly elected. Never was a victory more complete or overwhelming. The friends of liberty and of the Union away rejoice indeed, and be exceeding glad. Though we have not yet received full returns from every State, enough has already come over the wires to make sure the following results, as may be seen by telegraph returns in another column:

The States to hear from are California Origon, Louisiana and Nevada, having together 18 electoral votes-every one of which we believe have gone for Lincoln, leaving McClellan only the Guarilla State of Kentucky with 11 electoral votes. Is not this a clean sweep- a most overwhelming victory.
