Union Victories.

We are gratifcd beyond measure at
the result Of the late elections in differ
ent States. In Kentucky tho Union
ticket was elected by over so, 900 ma
jorty. In that State the issue was
distinctly made, as in Ohio, Of no-more-
menor-money to carry on the war
The late election in Vermont resulted
in triumph Of the Union ticket. The
elections just held in Nevada and Cali
tornia also resulted in the most tri-
umphant success to the Union tickets.
In California, Congressman Fred. +.
Lowe, well known to many of our cit
izcns, was elected over Downcy, one of
the most popular Democrats in the
State, by a majority of over 25,0OO.-
The election held in Maine on last
Monday resulted in another ovcrwhel-
ming triumph for the Union ticket,
Cary, the Union candidate for Govern
or, being elected over Bradbury, a war
Democrat. The people are determined
to rcbullc and put down all men
who identify themselves with Copper
heads, however much they may claim
to be war democrats and Union men.
They understand the dodge. No steal.

coed. Every man who docs not come
out Internationally for the Union and
the crushing Of the rebellion by war,
is to be marked, put down, and re-
membcrcd as an enemy to his country.
How long will the people of this
county be deceived by the so-callcd
Democratic leaders? How long will it
be before they come to understand that
the men who have taken control of the
Democratic organization in this coun-
ty are the disciples and followers of
the secession and disunon Democrats
John c. Calhoun, Jefferson Davis and
John G. Breckenridge, instead of being
the followers Of the true and loyal
Democrats, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew
jackson, and Stephen A. Douglass
How long before they come to under
stand that this is u rebellion of an
Aristocracy against the Democracy,
thcpcoplc, ofthe Republic; and against
the fundamental principle of Democra-
cy and of Republics viz: the right of
the majority to rule?
The leaders in this county are en-
dcavoring to bctray the people into the
hands Of their worst enemies, the rebel
arisrocrats Of the South.

of peace-makers. Abraham Lincoln,
John Brough and the whole Federal
Army are making peace by crushing
the rebellion and restoring law and

him, are striving to make peace by dis
union and separation. Which of the

Civil War In Ohio.

We have before shown that whocv.

prolong the war, Why? Because the
rebels have abandoned the hope of cs
tablishing ,thoir independence by
their own strength, they have aban,
doncd the hope of foreign recognition
and their only remaining hope is in
the peace party of the North, led by
EollOndigham, They will continue the
war as long as there is any hope of di,
vision in the North.
Not only do those who vote for Val.
landigham vote to prolong the war
but they vote for civil war in Ohio
Why? Because Vallandigham, whcth.
cr justly or uniustly, has been Danish,
ed as public enemy, and the Federal
Army is bound, with its vast power, to
make that banishmcnt good. Should
Vallandigham be elected, his friends

THE EFFECT ABROkD.

During the campaign We have met
many gentlemen from different por-
tions of the State, who assured us that
a Union victory in Fairfield county
would be the cause of general rejoicing
throughout the State. This county,
with the best bar, and with many of
the ablest and most patriotic men in
the State, with some of the most dis
tinguished Generals and Colonels in
the service, and with $500 gallant SOL
diers gone from among us, is called the
"benightcd county of Fairfield" Let
every Union man work until the cleo
ton, to remove the odium which is un-
justly thrust upon us.

ty,the ungrateful scamp who turned reb-
el while drawing his support from the
Government at the Washington OBJ
scrvatory, and who is now in England,
wrote a letter to the London Times,
dated "Bowden, Cheshire, August H."
This letter was intended to counteract
the effect upon the British mind of the
splendid Union victories of July. He
admits the heavy military reverses to
the South, but says there is San offset"
to these reverses, and that "nerer rere
the prospects Of the South brighter. >
What is the ''offset against the tide of
military reverses?" Maury says in so
many words that this offset is the peace
party Of the North and Tallandigham-
He says the "war is not to be ended by
the sword" but that "other agents have
to be called into play" He writes:
"Other agents have to be called into
play. What are they? Let us inquire.
They are, diriSiOnS in the camp ofhe
enemy, dissensions among the people of
the North. There is already peace
party there. All the embaTaSsments
with which that party can surround Mr.
N'ncoIn, and all the difficulties that it
can throw in the way Of the ,rar party in
the North, operate directly as so much aid
and comfort to tile South"
There you have it from a distin-
guished rebel. Do we SANDER the
peace-sncaks and Copperhcads of the
North when We say that they and the
cowardly traitor, Vallandigham, whom
they follow, arc giving aid and COM
fort to the rebels?
But Maury mentions another agent,
on whom he relies when the rebel ar
mics fail ofsucccss. Herests his hopes
upon the election of Other Agent
NallahdlSham, ana says:
"VALLANDIGHAM JVAITSAND
VA TCHES OVER THE BORDER,

ERNOR or THE STA TIE OF OHIO
no ARA Y TT AGAINST LIN
COLIN AND THE WAR, AND TO
GO FOR PEA CE."
Is not that explicit enough? Did we
slandcr Other Agent Vallandigham
when we said that there was an under
standing between him and the rebels?
"Plelged, if elected" Pledged to the
rebels to array the State Oft Ohio against
the General Government. Do the
peace men want civil war in Ohio? If
they do, they can have it by elccting
Vallandigham Governor.

OF onr people thought that France had new

would not intervene, under the stipulations
of The purchase that France would protect
the citizens thereof in the enioi ment of life,

successful in finding n number of the old
