Gee that your vote tells for the Country

See that your vote tells for the Country.
To-day,a freeman's highest privilege may be
exercised; that of selecting the men who are
to make his laws as well as those who are to
execute those laws. The vote of to-day has a
peculiar importance-an Importance impaired
by no party consideration, but one that grows
out of the construction that will be put upon
that vote. Every vote given for Abner Coburn,
and those associated with him on the same
ticket, will be counted as SO far pledging the
State to an unequivocal support of the wal, and
pledging it too in favor of furnishing men and
money SO long as a dollar or man remains.
TO crush out the internal rebellion that has been
raised up against the government of the coun-
try by the traitors of the South.
1t is equally true, whatever may be the pri-
vate opinions or the expressed opinions of
some of the Candidates of the opposition, that
every vote given for Bion Bradbury and those
associated with him upon the ticket, will be
heralded all over the land as so far indicating
the hostility of the State of Maine, to the pur-
poses of the government, to the vigorous pros
ecution of the war, to the overthrow of rebel
lion by force of arms, and in favor of compro-
missing with rebellion and succumbing to the
demands of traitors in arms.
The Convention that nominated Mr.. Brad
bury, by Its resolutions and by its speeches,
distinctly placed itself in hostility to the adj
ministration, and declared the incompetency
of that administration to conduct the present
war to a successful issue.
We repeat, therefore, that every vote for the
Democratic ticket is virtually vote against
the war, vote against codquering the rebel
lion, and it win be construed in favor of COM
promising with traitors and yielding to the de-
mands Of the rebels.
Men of Mane-citizens of Portland, are you
willing to be thus construed? Are you willing
10 have your action to-day thus interpreted?
Hso, then vote the Democratic ticket. IL not:
If you wish to have your vote construed in IA
vor of unyielding patriotism, of no surrender
to rebellion, and of victory for our flag, though
1t be found only in ''the last ditch" in which
rebels can entrench themselves, then give your
support only to men whose position is not on
ly undoubted,but is such that it can by no DOS
sibilty be construed unfavorably to the cause
In which all loyal men are engaged
Far be it from us to say or Intimate that all
Democrats are disloyal, or even wavering in
their devotion to the country; we do say,how-
ever that their State Convention held in this
city was controlledby doubtful men; that its
platform is decidedly unpatriotic; that every
suspected person in the State, and every rebel
sympathzer will vote for that platform and
the nominees placed upon it, and these facts
faint the whole concern, and should lead hon
est men to abjure it as they would the lcp-
rosv

IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR CITY.-Even in
these stringent times, Portland is far from wilt
ing, and, in tramp around our city, a few days
since, we were gratiiled to see many signs of
activity and progress. We noticed a splendid
residence in course Of construction on the lot
owned by IL. p. Storer, ESD. on Spring and
Danforth Streets. The builders are Charles
III. and Thomas Ii. Stuart; architect, Harding.
James McGlinchy, Esq, is erecting a very fine
house on the corner of Danforth and Tying
Streets. Mr.. MEG. is one of our most enter
prising and go-ahead naturalized citizens.
The builders are Messrs. Charles ii. Stuart
and Charles Strout; Harding architect.
Charles III. Stuart, Esq. is building an elegant
house on Clark Street, near Spruce builders,
himself and Lovejoy. Messrs. Colley and
Loyejoy are building large house on the cor
ner of Spring and May streets, for Henry
Fling, Esq. Union Church is being rebuilt by
I. E. Stuart, Chas. Frost and Geo. Worces-
ter. Sewall G. Chase & Co. and Cummings
& Brock are making large additions to the al
ready extensive Sugar House of j. b. Brown,
Esq. The new school house in the rear Of the
Stone Church, begins TO show its proportions
to the passers by. Builders, I. +. Il w. III.

GEN SIGELo-Sigel has shown on the Po-

most superb fighting and adroit tactics which
have been seen since the beginning of the war.
There is no praise too high for his brilliant
Generalship. We copy from the New York

at will be remembered by our readers that
he had just come up from the Rappahannock,
where he had for four days held the advance
under heavy fire, and where, too, he had
displayed marked traits of Generalship, such
as have rarely been shown in this war; For
two days he had been upon the march, and
then, after rest of only four hours he again
took the advance in the most momentous strug-
gle which our arms have waged with rebellion.
Noprecaution was overlooked by him which
might guard against defeat or insure success.
The General was not miles in the rear, ready
TO come up only after the engagement was
over, to congratulate his troops on their sue
cess and to pen brilliant dispatch; he was on
the field acquanting himself with every inn
portant position; and long before the light
could reveal his operations to willy foe, every
battery was stationed under his own eye and
his own direction. The enemy received no
warning, save that given by the roar of Sigel's
artillery. The advance was not made at ran
dom; scouts were sent out in every direction
and all day long they went forth and returned
TO their General, who found time for caution
even in the utmost fury OF the contest. His
march was rapid, but at every step his troops
were under cover of their artillery. When
the enemy was engaged, his battalions were
brought up in perfect order, and precisely at
the time and place were most needed. Under
such leadership there was no faltering. BY

They Take Courage.

Because the Republicans had no caucus on
Saturday evening, the enemies of the party
argue that there is supineness in the ranks Of
the true men of Portland Shall that belief
be justified? Not if we know the Republican
voters of Portland. Let no such belief have
credit beyond its utterance. Never was a vote
more necessary for the country than now
Every vote has this wide significance at this
hour, that il not only aids TO put good men
and true in office, but it rings through the
length and breadth of the land AS an outburst
for freedom and equality. and knell to seces-
sion and traitors. Stand by the ballot box to-
day, and let this lallacious courage be rebuked
A ballot is rs good as a musket to-day. 1t is
silent monitor that indicates most potently
the public temper.
There is no abatement in that temper-de-
termined and resolute as in the Revolutionary
trials, it never is TO yield the right. Let there
be no abatement in the ballot that shall show
that temper. The Republican party-the real
Union party of the State-the party that sus-
tains the administration of ABRAHAM LIN

one of the most singular events Of the rebel

Maine. New Hampshire aud Vermont, as well

and their sympathZers North should be sue

We had the pleasure of attendinga a fine
gathering Of Democrats at Hamilton last even
ing. The meeting was addressed BY Dr.; Egry
in German and Henderson Elliott ESQ., in
English. There was much enthusiasm in the
crowd, and we should. judge, from what we
saw and heard, that the political excitement
was running high in Butler County. These
two speakers both supported the so-called
Union ticket last fall We beard of numbers
who are going to vote the Democratic ticket
next Tuesday, who have heretofore acted with
the Abolition party. We learned that the
contractors, who are growing rich out of the
war, haye been sending large sums of money
into that District to secure the defeat Of Val
landighan. They regard it Of the highest
importance to their interest that Mr.. Vallandg-
ham should be defeated The effect has been
to increase the vigilance and determination of
those who believe this Government was made
by white men for white men, and that our
taxes are nigh enough, without being compelled
to have their burden increased by millions
addedto free the negroes. We were m Ich
encouraged at the reported changes from the
Republican party, and at the live spirit mani.
tested by the Democracy Of Butler Cincin-
Rah Enquirer. Hid na 1
