Tux KEYNOTE OF THE Next PoLrIcAL CAM
rAIGS.-We notice in the New York World
an article which looks like a key note Tor the
democracy in their endoavors to "fall down
and worship the craven image which the
South "has set up" Tho World says
"Or IL. by the loss Of the next presiden-
tial election, it should be made certain that
Cancellation will not be pacticcd toward the
South after its armies are subdued, thus
prccluding the possibility OF its government
without subversion Of our republican in
stitutions, we should then be for peace, wheth'
er acting with majority or against ma
joIity."
The plain English Of the above is. If the
democracy" fail to elect their candidate in
1864, then these Woods and Vallandighams
are prepared to rebel against the voice Of the
people constitutionally expressed. Gentle.
men, you will do neither ono nor the other,
and such threats is the food only OF fools.

Tho Bangor Courier is responsible for the
following:
Ills said tho "pcace" democracy aro 60.
ing to try VIM. p. Haincs of Biddeford, for
Governor, this year. Singular, isn't it, that
the copperhoad leaders have never got man
to run o second time as the "democratic'
candidate for Governor, since tho war began?
Why is IL? Do their men get enough Of de-
feat the first time, or do they get converted
as soon Us they $50 NIL the desperate disloyal-
ty and determined treason Of the men who
try to use them? Facts so Tar seem really to
indicate tho latter solution. The copper
heads first nominated John w. Dana, and
supported him in 1861, rs the candidate Of
tho party opposed to "this unholy war;
Next year no was not nominated, and it Is
now said he has become supporter Of the
"unholy war;" since he left tho country
Bion Bradbury was the man who suffered
himself to be the "dcmocratic" candidate in
the second year of copperhoadism--but after
his defeat no went to New Orleans for his
health, and is said to have become converted
oven to belief that slavery is not divine
It seems, therefore that he is to be dropped.
Will Mr.. Haincs stand more than one dose
of northern seccssionism2 Not cren ono,

with the SD Massachusetts, regiment, entered
the rebel works at Bethel Place, on tho
morning Of tho l4th, planting our flag on
the parapet. Gen. Weitzcl's division follow
ed, succeeded by the whole limo. Tho rebels
left their numerous dead unburied, and evil

At Franklin, steamer Corrie was captured,
with three officers OF the late gunboat Diana

The rebels destroyed ten steamboats, and
two large gunboats to prevent thoir falling
into Gen. Banks hands. The Diana was
among the boats destroyed. Immense stores

We notice that some Of our ooppcrhcad
journals in this state are quilting their limo.
cent readers with such stuff as follows:
"Tho elections in Michigan have gone
largely Democratic"
On the contrary, tho republicans Of that
state have, in almost every instance increased
their majority over that Of last Fall. g.
Here is another;
"Wisconsin has gone Democratic by 5000

It has gone Democratic, If tho reelection
Of Judge Dixon (Rcpublican) by splendid
vote makes it so, but not otherwise. The

Gates that all the democrats haze no. gone to

Still another: r,, ......f-.... is..l .,.g
"Spring6eld, the homo of Lincoln ha,
repudiated him and his policy. Thus the
Democrats are carrying all before them in
the West. sF
Springfield, III. has elected an uncondition.
al Union man for Mayor by 200 majority,
aud the City Marshal, Street Commissioners,
three out Of Eve Aldermen and two of fou,
Supervisors, are Of the same politics. That
is repudiation with vengeance But In re-
gard to the last part Of the above quotations
we have different version. The principal
things the democrats Of the West "aro carry.
ing before thcm," are rifles, muskets and
axes to resist the efforts Of those who arc
endeavoring to save the country. They are
rebels in the rear, lending aid and comfort to
their brother traitors in the South more oour
ageous than themselves; and to such an ex.
tent are they carrying their treason that the
Commanding Gen. Of the Western Depart
ment, himself democrat, has declared them
traitors and outlaws. and threatens to send
them beyond the lines.
