The copperheads tell the people that President
Lincoln is fast assuming the powers Of a dictator
and that they firmly believe that We shall not
have another Presidential election, nut that Mr.
Lincoln will establish a monarchy out OF this
country, and declare himself emperor What
nonsense The idea of talking such stuff in al
intelligent community, and with the expectation
that intelligent men will believe it, ia supremely
ridiculous. Men that will talk such foolshues-
haven't as much good HARD sense as a chickadee
We do not intend to reply to such balderdash
but simply 10 quote the plain and simple words
of Abraham Lincoln, acknowledging himself the
servant of the people of the United States, and
his responsibility to them for all his acts:
" 1 freely acknowledge myself the servant OF
the people, according to the bond of service
the United States Constitution aud that, as
such, | am responsible to them"
Read it, ye cOpperheads, and be ashamed if
you are not totally lost to this feeling conscious
ness of degradation. This certainly sounds very
mild for man whom these enemies OF common
sense and truth would seek to make Us believe
is fast assuming the pO,cers Of dictator

at is not the man, it is the principle in
volyed "
The above is an extract from speech dciiv-
cred by Mr. Pugh at 81. Mary, Angaize county,
Ohio, on the 5th ult 1t follows the declaration
that 1.-THE first act OF justice will be the election
OF Clement L. Vallandignam TO the guberuato'
rial chair" The great principle involved Is,
that if a man is in league with the rebels doing
all in his power to aid them in their Efforts TO
destroy the government, and is caught at II aud
punished for the contemplate crime, he must
be taken up, in order TO do him Justice, and
elected to 4 position where be will have full
power to give not only his own aid and comfort
to the enemy, but also that OF the strong ann OF
the people of a great State. This is the ms
ticen the democracy seek 10 obtain for Mr. Val
andigham. The Justice is to give over a
loyal State of this Union into the hands of
a friend Of jeff. Davis slave Oligarchy to put
the reins of government Of the great State OF
Ohio into the hands Of man who has done al
in his power to aid the rebels in overthrOwing
the government; whose very heart and soul
is wrapped up in the existence of slavery, and
who would delight in giving it to the people
OF all the States as Their common heritage
This is the Justice for which the democracy
are painting. The principle involved is that
every northern traitor Is deserving OF rcNard
in proportion to calibre, and Of services rendefed
the Southern COnfederacy. We expect to see
our friend George W. Peck, Esq, nominated for
constable in this city next spring in accordance
with this same principle" He goes it sled

Senators would be elected By Legislatures com

There is, indeed, law Of Congress that no

rebellion, against the anti-slavery action, agains

Maine Election.

The election in Maine took place on Monday,
and from the meagre telegraph reports received
BY mail last evening, we should judge the State
has given an overwhelming majority in favor OF
the Union ticket. Large gains in favor OF the
Republicans are reported from almost every To-
cality heard from. Thanks BE 10 God the
Southern Rebels are being thrashed by bullets,
the weapons they have chosen, on every field,
and the Northern COpperheads are being thrash
ed by ballots, the weapons for which they cry
so loudly. Wonder if anybody interfered with
the election down in Maine
Oh, VaIlandigham your fate too, will soon
be sealed. Already the hand writing appears
upon the wall. You are in Canada now, but
pretty soon you will be nowhere.

Henry Ward Beecher at Glasgow.

The Liverpool Courier. of the 10th ult.,
says that Mr. WARD BEEcHER, who has
been lecturing and travelling throughout
the United Kingdom, gave one of his fer
vid orations at Glasgow. It was a good
deal interrupted by the expressions offeel-
ing on the part of the advocates of the
South, and ludicrous conflict arose wher.
the reverend gentlem an prophesied the re
turn Of the South to the Union. "Nev.
sr, never!' was shouted by a hundred
stentorian voices. Mr.. BEEcHER repeated
bis announcement, which was met by the
same ansEer; and so the two com ba;ants
| went on for some time, for all the world
like two qusrreisome children in a nurse
ry. Mr.. BEEcHrs's feFvor is eqused only
BY his inaccuracy. He declared, for in
stance, that the Washington governm eut
was perfectly ready to give up the south
ern commissioners, and that it was there
fore urgenerous for us to have threatened
the United States with war in the sine OF
her trial. Mr. BEEcHEn carefully forgot
that the commissioners were detained pris-
oners until tho news arrived in New York
Of the dispatch Of the guarIs, that more
than one member of the Washington cab
met declared that the North would never
surrender the prisoners, aud that WILKES
was the hero Of the day, and publicly feted
and thanked for his bravery. Like most
fervid orators, Mr.. BEECHER is m ore fluent
than logical. At the close Of his address,
a gentleman in the body of the room com
pletely posed him by reading clause from
the United States Constitution, in which
slavery ia made legal, and by asking
whether Mr. BEECHER and his friends were
contending for the old Constitution or a
new one If for tie first, they must be
conteudirg for slavery; If they were fight
ing for the second they had no right to
COMPLAIN of the South for following the
same course We need scarcely say that

question left him completely impaled ups
