The Voice OF the PcODle.

The result Of the Spring elections is quite
satisfactory to all who have the cause Of the
Union at heart. The people have been call
ed upon to pronounce upon the War, upon
the Administration, and upon the Union, and
. generations yet unborn will applaud the
robrave and righteous verdict they have ron
'dered. -,5.6 = ars gd5 i, .-a
a} For brief time before the election treason
assumed bold front in some Of the loyal
States, and very extensive programme was
sketched of the probable operations of the
Copperhead faction, in Ease they should sue
coed in lying and bullying themselves into
the lascendency. The President was to be
goaded, if possible, into calling an extra ses-
sion Of Congress early in May, but in case of
his refusal, not an unlikely event, the men,
bers elect, opposed to the Administration,
were to assemble themselves in semi-rebel-
lious, anti-war, -sympathizing con-
veption at Washington. A suspension of
hostilities was to be insisted on as the first
step, threats were to be restored to, demand
for the resignation Of the President was to be
made, and il all these efforts should fail to
ioc3 wheels Of the Government and bring
the war 10 adisgraceful end, the whole North
was to be cast into the furnace of revolution,
and finally rcmoulded into precious batch
of new Confederaces. -.-.
Happily Satan overreached himself, as he
did on celebrated occasion when he aspired
to rule above, by the very magnitude of his
grasp. Had he undertaken less he might
have accomplished more. The, people dis
covered that the Peace party were really
disunion party, and that its success would
not only put in peril the existence of the
Union, but It would fill the whole North with
discord and strife, and substitute for the pres
ent benign reign of Law and Liberty,
bloody chaos, subsiding at least into a half
dozen petty dsspotisms.
= The people were alarmed to see how near
the. vortex they had swept while they had
been charmed into imaginary security by the
syren song Of Peace. The old spirit of pat
nriotim broke forth, and it was announced
through the ballot-box that no war could be
too long, no sacrifice could be too costly, that
should enable us to preserve to ourselves and
to transmit toToar children the Government
nndehled and the national unity unimpaired.

B At O preliminary meeting OF the Union
League of the City of Cumberland, it was
determined 10 hold Mass Meeting of the
Unconditional Union men of Alegany Coun-
ty, in Cumberland,
On Thursday, April 23rd, 1868,
The following speakers have been invited,
some of whom have already consented to be
present on the occasion:
Hon. John Van Buren,, Hon. w. d. Kel-
Icy, Benz. Fl. Brewster, Major D. II. McPhail
Hon. r. Thomas, and Daniel Doughcrty.
The untoward circumstances in which our
country has been placed by the most wicked
and helish rebellion that has ever taken
place in the history OF tho world, demands OF
chose who truly love their country and pre-
fer the perpetuaton of institutions which
give breath and life to liberty throughout the
world, to be watchfu and vigilant in this our
beloved country's hour of extreme peril. 1t
is necessary to watch closely the hellsh mach
nations Of those whose motto is "rue or
ruin !" whose hearts are DESTROYS that the
South should triumph, Notwithstanding they
loudly profess to be the frmest friends of the
Trion-. who arc constantly i-~-'---:-e II,
Administration in its efforts to crush the re-
bellion, by the very means which the lesis-
lative tCopgress) branch of the Government
has granted it, and who would rather "rule
in He'll than serve in Heaven" 1t is most
necessary, therefore, that the true, loyal men
Of the county should grid on their armor to
meet these dastards and defeat their purposes.
We say, then, to the people Of Allegany,
come to Cumberland on next Thursday, and
show these disguised traitors that you well
understand their purposes and are fully pre-
prepared to meet and deal with them as they
so richly deserve.

 AS an illustration of muddy travelling. I may relate story of the march, which came from one Of the officers on Gen. Slocum's stali. As bs rode to the the tsp of an eminence, oa the way down, he says :-' saw driver as ride of his team in distant mud hole, jerk. ing vigorously at the single line with which hs drove his four mules and waving his hat fu. riously above his head. At. first thought hs was trying to urge his team over the slough but soon saw that it made no progress forward while the driver continued his exertions but looked anxiously backward. Wagon driver and team were sinking, l rode forward as fast as the mud would permit dr;ver and mules were fast disappearing, but he never ceased his exertions. and the thought of des T. ting his saddle appeared not to have. tntersa his head. reached the spot, but the hand and head of ths ,:rivsr al.ne remained above the mud. saw him throw his cap towards me with convulsve movement. heard him ery three cheers for the American Unien, and the mud closed over him."
