The Election.

The result Of our State Election on
Tuesday shows that Vermont is almost
unanimous against treason and traitors.
In a great many towns no votes were cast
against Mr. llolbrook, but republicans and
democrats alike stood shoulder to should
err.
II is not probable that single sympathiz-
er with Secesson, has been chosen TO the
legislature, in the whole State and we there
fole made no ca s'fcalion. If however, we
should hear Of one, our readers will be duly
Informed. This glorious result win doubt

Few words for Democrats.

One of the best articles we have seen
from democratic newspaper, recently APP
peared in the Laconia IN. H.) Democrat.
1t is not often SO much is said in so short an
article. 1t is clear and concise statement
and must commend itself to every true dem
ocrat. The Democrat says
In consequence OF our defeat and the
accession 10 power Of the republican party.
a portion of the Southern States have Sc
coded, repudiated the Constitution. and seek
to finally dissolve the Union and lust here
at this point arises a confusion in the minds
OF many in the democratic party relative to
their true position and duty. Because they
have been friendly TO the South and in IA
vor OF giving them their rights in DAYS gone
by, many democrats seem to fall into The
error of thinking that they are bound to be
friendly to the Scutherners as .Secessionists.
But here is fatal mistake, inconsistent
with all our past lives as Union men. Be-
cause we have been heretofore in favor Of
giving the South all its rights in order 10
preserve the Union, it by no means follows
that we should endeavor now to confer upon
the South what is not its right in order TO
destroy the Union.
/" Let Democrats consider whether thew
are under any suci, special obligations TO the
Secessionists as TO require them TO feel anv
sympathy with their present instruction.
Here we have been year after year spend
ing time, money and labor to sustain the
democratic party in the North, while these
Southern disunioni>ts have, by leading rs
heavier and heavier at each succeeding cleo
ton, with ultra measures, finally reduced us
to a minority in every free State, and diyest.
ed Us Of all power to aid them: and in tho
last presidential election, by running a third
candidate with the slave code, they render
ed Lincoln's election certain. The election
OF Lincolnthey then said was sufficient cause
for secession; but still, even then. had the
Southern members remained in Congress
they, With the democrats, had a majority II
both houses, and could have prevented any
considerable encroachment upon their rights.
But the members from the seeded States
left Congress, and the last vestige Of power
was taken from democratic hands.
Now, under this state Of facts, however
much any democrat may sympathize with /
the honest people of the South and escbew |
the spirit Of abolitionism in the North. he /
certainly Is under no obligation TO regard
secession with any feeling OF patience. The
secessionists themselves have taken the
power out OF our hands, and after so doing
have they any right to call upon us to stand
and ernmbls for themY For one. we OBJ
jet TO doing sueli daiy."

MARYLAND Heights.


CAMr REApE, Sandy Hook,
Maryland Heights.
DEAR TINES Having little leisure
win give you short account of our regi.
ment, and of what we have been doing since
wrote you last. We left Antieaane Iron
Works last Tuesday for head quarters, at
Sharpsbarg. where we received orders 10
march at once TO Frederick, as Gen. Banks
had vacated Harper's Ferry and gone down
the river to Point of Rocks. We had gone
about twenty miles when we met a courier
from Banks, with orders to chan. G cur rou e
and come 10 this place instead. We had
come about fifteen miles ont of our way,
but arrived here safely at 3, p. NJ, on Fri
day last. We are camped on the Heights
about two miles back from the river, but
have four companies on the river and canal
on guard duty. Our position commands an
excellent view Of the surrounding country,
for miles and an attack by any number Of
the enemy would be discovered by us in
season to put us in good condition for de-
fence. Yesterday our pickets opposite Ilar-
per's Ferry were fired on several times,
and shots returned by us. Two rebels are
known to have been killed At early dawn
two companies of cavalry we're seen on the
ID ~ III,
pected, as We had heard Of two regiments
of rebels being encamped within three miles.
About dark the remaining portion of our
regiment marched down, and about ten
o'clock, p. NJ, we had brisk skirmish with
them, their shots doing us no harm. We
cannot tell the loss of the enemy, as they
would of course carry off their wounded.
We staid there all night, and passed shots
occasionally till morning. This morning
Lieut.. Bacon of CO. X, with twelve men,
crossed the river and put up the old "stars
and stripes on the flag staff in the village
of Harper's Ferry; and they viii continue
to wave there while the old 18th remains
here, or there will be a muss. One of our
men was shot in two places in his right arm
night before last by our scouts. He got
confused some way and did not answer their
challenge. No blame is attached to any
one but himself. He is doing WE'LL and
will probably save his arm. Within day
or two great many of our men have been
recipients of tokens of regard from home by
Adams Express, in the shape of eatables,
&c, which prove very welcome to sol
der. / must close this now, as / have some
work to do. | will write again when any
thing new transpires. We shall probably
join Banks division ere long. Good bye.

Senator Wade's Regirnent.---Ohio
Politics.

/ Occasional telegraphs to Tie Philadelphia
Press from Washington, Aug. 20 as fol.
lows -
Before Senator Wade of Ohio left
Washington, he obtained an order from the
Government directing him to raise a Regi-
ment of Cavalry and a battery of artillery
for the war. The Senator has been busiy
engaged in recruiting through the Reserve,
and hopes TO pass the Regiment over to The
Government in the space of few days, as
it is nearly completed. Letters received
from the Senator express confidence in the
success Of a the Union ticket now being
constructed by the republican and Douglas
Democratic organization. The people are
almost unanimous in heart and soul for a
Union movement of all such as are for
vigorous prosecution of the war, and against
all compromise with traitors. A ticket on
this basis he thinks, will carry the State by
a majority Of more than three to one against
NY pPl'oetiou VI tIlslt can be
formed.
The programme of the Union men in
Ohio seems to be the nomination of David
Tod for Governor. This is intended as an
especial compliment to the TO the Douglas
Democracy. whose representative and lead
er Mr. Tod as chairman of the Democratic
Convention may be considered In the
Reserve and northeastern parts of the State
MIR Tod is extremely popular, and it is
thought that the southern and middle por
tons of the State win adopt him as their

second fort, called Fort Haiteras, which
soon after displayed the white flag when
the fort was entered by Capt. Nixon of the
Union coast guard, Lieut.. Wezel of Gen.
Buffers staff, and Sergeant Durivage.-
They were conducted to the tent of Com
modore Barron, who was in command of the
forces. After some PREDATORY and common
place remarks, the commodore placed in the
hands of Lieut.. Wezel proposition TO sur
render Fort Hatteras, with all the arms
and munitions of war, the officers to be al
lowed TO 90 out with side arms, and the
men without arms to retire. This propo-
sal was Immediately communicated to Gen.

meet on board the Minnesota to arrange
details. On reception OF this, Commodore
Barron called council of war of his field
officers, aud accepted the terms offered, and
proceeded TO the flag ship TO arrange the
details, after which the prisoners were put
on board the flag ship, and the stars and
stripes hoisted by Capt. Crosby, U. S. n,
and Lieut.. Wezel, amid cheers and the
booming of the cannon lately in possession
of the enemy.
Gen. Wool issued general order at
Fortress Monroe, on Saturday, amounting

tion TO Hatieras inlet. The result Of this
gallant enterprise, he says, is the capture
of 1l5 rebels, including the commander.
