tions-ExuItationO over the Abolition
yrctOries-ss Vailandi CHAM and his
Copperheads Dreaded.r
[FrOm the Richmond Enquirer, Oct. a.
In the two great " Democratic States of Penn
sylvania and Ohio the candidates ON the side of
war and the Administration have been elected by
large majori:ies. Vallandigham is crushed out,
and his policy of peace Democracy" along with
him. 1t goes as we expected.
Repeatedly, in the Enquirer, we have demon
strated that among our Yankee enemies there
no difference to US: that the Democrats were
equally our enemies with the Republicans; that
the 'copperhead" movement, with all its Knights
OF the Golden Circle, was merely a contrivance
for bringing back the Democratic party into
power, and that, Immediately on that happy event,
the peace Democrats would all be war Demo-
Gratis The business OF that country is war; by
war they live and move. The credit of their
current money, and its power to purchase the
necessaries of life, depend entirely upon war; the
income and daily bread of each family are derived
from the war; therefore all principles and policies
yield to the grand principle and policy of war.
Ardently Democrats and copperheads desire to
have for themselves the management of the
national business and the handling of the national
money, yet they all know that they cannot do
without the all. Therefore il was BY
skillfully representing that the vigorous prosecu
ton of the war would be impaired by any con-
demnation of the Presidents present policy that
the populations of those two Democratic States
have been induced even to foregO their party in
terests and predictions even to renounce the
hope of office and sDoils. and to swallow Black
Republicanism whole - subjugation, abolition,
and all-rather than weaken the hands of the war
Administration.

The war fever, like any other malady. had to 60

that, while the patient was yet pethoric and full

The whole of that imposing structure, standing
so fair and sumptuous in the enemy's country, is
a house built on sand, or rather. on paper. The

then. we will see an end of the war.
And il is better so. To make sure that our
separation, as two distinct political communities,
be complete aud eternal, it is perhaps needfnl
that the war be fought out to the very end; that

nation. The longer they carry on the war. and
the more atrocous they make il. the more impos-

in Virginia, to say nothing of other States,-we
mean "A sort of partial reconsructi0nists. looking

sanctioned by the Ohio and Pennsylvania cleo

who dreamed Of peace on "sOme terms, and who
now know that they can have peace on no terms
save surrender at discretion and abject vassai-
age to the meanest and most vulgar race Of
beings on all this ezrth. Therefore, say, let
black Republcanism grow backer. let every
Yankee General be as Milroy, and Butler, and
Rosecrans. and Burnside; let the printing presses
Of Chase rest not, neither by day nor yet by
night; let Northern cities reyel and run riot on
paper wealth based on the credit of lands in the
ConIederacy or in the moor; let the whole Yam
kee nation, drunk and mad with passion, rush
along in their insane dream OF conquest, and
triumph, aud pleasure to the very edge of the
abyss of perdition, and then, down with them all
to the devil together.
Its wholesome for people to look on and
see that extraordinary nation thus possessed by an
evil spirit, and running violently down steep
place to the sea, like the swine in the country OF
the Gadarenes. There Is small temptation 10 link
ourselves to their fate and fortunes; next year
there will be still less and, if there be vet living
among us any s0ft-headed rec0nstructonist or
submissionist he will then be cured.

effects of Vallandigham and his c0pperheads, and

Far better ms il is; the present programme hap

Yankees be brought to reason, or their plans for
