The Democrats are making vigorous
canvass. but. judging from the language
nf the Administration organs and speak

States. 1.-THE election Is conducted fair

an overwhelming maj"rity. They have
everything to contend against influence,

The Administration il playing deS-
peraie game and cannot afford t. l"se a
Tick and by fraud or force will defeat
the will Of the people. II darcS not trust
unshacEled public sentiment. 1t would
rather defeat Vnllandigharh than capture
Charleston; and it will make far greater
effort to accomplish the former than tle
latter. 1t might recover from failure I"
capture Charleston by thriving the
blame on its suhOr,linStes, but Vallandig'
hams triumph seals it's doom. The yer.
diet Of the people would damn it even in
the eyes Of it's minions. II knows this,
and is therefore using the whole power
Of the government unSparingly tn defeat
him. With such tremendous odds asanst

bination is too p0werful-H a c0mbinato"

victed ul illegal voting, will assist to de-
f at him. BY such means alone will the
Administration carry Ohio. Vallandig-
ham will get vast majority Of the legal
votes Of Ohio, but not sufficient to elect
him.
TO show to what length the Admins,
lralion is prepared to g'' To carry an elrc-
ton, we copy, the following ftom the
Washington correspondent Of the San
Fran, isro Bulletin, u strong supporter Of
the Administration. Speaking Of the
election in Maryland, he says;
"The approaching Congressional elcc
ton in the State Of Maryland is beginning
To excite unusual inter, st ut the National
Capital, aS upon the result will dep md
the political complexion Of the next
House Of X, pre>enIativeS. II is all i'm
po tant that the Administration should
have clear working maj"rlty, and yet
il the Maryland election be carried by
the opposition, which is Ii ely rnuugh,
the nppo>i,inn will hold the House oi
RrprrS, ntativrs 10y from & Ia 8 majority
Such state Of affairs might seriously
embarrn>E the Government IN its prose
cutlun Of the war. and will br prevented
il possible. Every pI pIecautiun is being
taken tn secure strictly loIal vote in
Maryla' d. and prevent any rebel Svmp"-
thizrrs from approaching the ballot box.
The Democrats Claim I" be able tn carry
three out nf the five members II Congress.
and this they estimate would secure an
oppo>irion majority Of six. But judge
ing from the programme, aS understand
il, { dhubt much il the Democrats Ui
Maryland elect single member Of Con-
greSS."
Here it is distinctly stated that the Ad.
ministratIon will proven, the e!ertio Of
Democratic congressman that it has Ia.
ken every prccau,ion to secure strictly
a loyal vote in Maryland, aud TO prcve't
any rebel SympathizerS from approach
ing the baIlot.bnx." II is well known it
calls all Democrats "diSl"yal and rebel
sympathizers." and lift rcvcntS Demo

it will achieve brilliant victory. Lin-
coin, the dictator. says who shall an who
shall not be allowed to vote. lie tram
pies upon laws and constitutions, the
rights and liberties Of the people. and tells
th.m they must indorse his acts or be
deprived oi the right of suffrage? How
long will the people submit to such in
science and tyranny? If they submit IN
it, elections are farce, and Lincoln will
soon he un autocrat. Ifthey submit ia
it, they nre only tit to be slaves, and dis
grace the country which gave them birth
and dishonor the names Of their ancestors.

party is for peace. II will hail with sat

Upon this platform it stands. prepared to
