THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

nual Elections, ct which Members Of the mex
House Of Representatives will be among tn
officers chosen. We look to tbe results il
these States with something of apprehensio
but more Of hope. We know that the NOR
recent levies Of Volunteers for the Uno
armies have largely reduced the relative vol
of tbc unLesitatDg supporters of the War 70
the Unions; We feel sure that some District
will be lost and most Republican msjoritles Gu
down thereby. Allegheny aud Lancaster, th
great strOngholds of Anti.Slavery power il
Pennsy lvania, will not give half the majoritie
they would il oil their Volunteers were q
home. The absorbing interest taken by ou
friends in the progress and success Of tn
War will operate against us; for while ou
folks are intent on upholding the Govern
ment and iDyigorating the War, our oppcrent
think mainly Of carrying the election. Yet sure
ly every devoted Unionist who remains a
home ought 70 do bis utmost to elect candi
dates of like faith, whose success will not b,
hailed by tie traitors "a virtual giving up o
the contest. Aud, no matter what tht
Voter may intend, every ballot cast for the Dem
ocratic candidates will be interpreted in Seces.
sia and in Europe rs q vote for stopping the
war and letting the Rebellion triumph. 4 victory
for Lee and stonewal Jackson on the Potomac
will be generally regarded as no more condu-
ciye TO Rebel success in the great struggle
than the triumph in the October Elections o!
those who were lately their political associates
and are now their attorneys in feet. Breckin-
ridge and Burnett in tie first Session Of the
present Congress voted and acted, counseej
and sympathized, with Vallandigham, Ancons,
&C., who are now running for reelection as
Democrats. Neither have essentially changed,
though the former have entered the Congress
Of tie Coufederacy and the latter remain IN
that Of The Union. They are united in heart
to day; and tho reelection Of yallandigbam
will be Justly deemed throughout Jeff. Davis's
donlinions as complete surrender on the part
Of those engaged as that OF iIurper's Ferry.
The whole Issue msy be summed up in that
one local ccttcst. Gen. Robert G. Schenck, who
has been fighting ever since, and had hi, arm
broken by Rebel bullet in a recent battle, is
the Union War candidate, against Clement L.
' allandigharn, who has opposed ths war at
every stage sna on every point, voted against
almost or quite every appropriation or levy to
carry it on, and says those who choose may
ipht the Rebels--h 10 his business TO fight the
Abolitionsts. Aud that black. hearted traitor,
Ly reason OF the absence Of Thousands of the
voters in tie Union camps-three-fourths OF
them Republicans and nine-tsnths Of the residue
Anti-y ailandigham Union War Democrats-has
to-day change OF reelection in d district
which gave Lincoln handsome majority. He
will ge. the vote Of bis party az fully as though
porter Of the War for tho Union. And this is
, test case.
We fear bad results In several Pennsylvania
Districts. Even MIR. GROW. prostrated by sick.
ness and in now District which bas sent
thousands more Of Republicans than of Demo
rats to the War; needs the best efforts Of all
lis friends. We pray them 10 strain every
lerve in his behalf In the Towanda and
he Nilliamsport Districts respectively, the
,onte.t s between tao Republicans, whereby
he Union STATE Ticket is certain TO suffer. We
ntrcat every supporter Of the Proclamation Of
freedom in each District of N0rth-easteru
10 work with all his might for
hat ticket bni for the candidates in sympathy
herewith.
Friends Of the Union cause ia both States
