The E..ue Clearly made up

The election of a Chief Justice Of the Su-
premc Court is close at hand. Let not the
people mistake the issue. 1t is distinctly and
clearly defined.
MONTGOMERY NJ. CorHREN is the copper
head candidate. He and his supporters stand
distinctly on the c~opperhead platform. By
this we mean they are in favor Of embarrass-
ing the Administration defeating all mea-
ucs looking to an e arrest prosecution OF the
war, and in favor of granting an armistice 10
the rebels, which is but another expression
for consenting to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the
Republic.
In the convention that nominated him, Mr..
CLARY, one of his ardent supporters, residing
in the same town with Mr.. CoTHREN said; Il
am for standing by the RYAN Address and
Mr.. VALLAND1GAAM's late speech. ! think
they are both right and both sound"
Sen. CLARK, who was a delegate i'll the con
@ention said he could vote for the nomination Of
no man who was not a Democrat, and TO be a
Democrat, he added, it was necessary to be:
Ob!"b5cu dD'I' t'i ~ Nio'SAJ !" 'hC '"

ri tories.

! IlliupiS Legislatures
In tavot OF Vallandigham's recent speech, every
word nd letter of it.
Mr.CLARK voted for the nomination of Mr..
CoTHRaN.
Now let US see what the position this speech
of VA~ILANDIGHAM takes with reference to the
Union and the war. We quote from a copy
which Mr.. Clark himself has furnished us:
Betoid tosday two s~par ate GoVeruments in one
country and without II natural dividing lines with
tac0 P,aSadcats ami Cabinets, and a double Con
gIess. and yet each under a constitution So exact
y similar the one to the other that II stranger

( Of c0hnpa GHd the SW0rd
If amy traitor at the South desires more
than this, we have yet to hear Of it. 1t falls
( nothing short of absolute surrender TO the de-
mauds Of armed treason, the division Of the
Union.
Yet this is the platform upon which the
Democratic party in this state, and its can
dictate "a. Chief Justice are distinctly placed.
No Loyal Union man, whether Republican
or Demo; rat, should fail to go to the polls and
vote for the reelection of Judge Dixon, who
stands upon the platform of unconditional
loyalty aud mistaken fidelity to the Union.
