JOHN j. JACOBS, lEso5-Dear 1Sir: We
take this opportunity, 1atc tonight, to inform
YOU of the result of the election in Lake town
chip. We poEed one hundred and two votes
-one hundred Democratic and two Republi-
can, and they voted the full Democratic ticket
with the exception of the ono draft The
Democrats met, for the first time in this town
ship, previous to the eleetioHaud put in nom
ination a ticket composed of good, reliable
Democrats. The Republicans took oferse at
at our proceedings and claimed that there was
not a Dnion man upon our ticket, and, there
fore, would. not support it, and the results the
same as il, woullshave been if they had at
tempted to defeat it. We are opposed to the
conscr iption We have voted against it and we
will go further, we will resist it the same as
all other uneonsiitutional acts of the recent
Congress, and all the usurrations of power
which the President may see fit to attempt to
enforce upon us. ROBT. MARKS, !

around them. The CLEAN of success that
has fallen on the Federal arms in the sur
render of Vicksburg, and the incidents Of
the second MARYLAND campaign, haye ex.
hibited the President and his chief m mis-

their country torn asunder, and its soil
reeking with blood, they only find voice
to make poor and flippant election sp eech-
es. When " serenaded," as proper con-
graduation on the fall of Vicksburg, the
President made an address to the crowd

invest with dignity" The Secretary Of
War" claimed the merit of retaining Gen.
Grant in command. and consequently of
the victory achieved" He turned the
event to elimination of some of his col
leagues and glorifying Of himself. Mr..
Stanton made it party triumph over the
advocates of peace by small sneer at the
copperheads. And Mr.. Seward Gro wn-
ed the wretched display by something that

was simply blasphemous. That men in
such positions could So express themselves
