THIE LESSON


Ohio has, this fall, declared for tn,
Union, BY the largest majority she
ever gave, and Pennsylvania, Iowa
1n3isna, Sinine, Vermont, and sli tn,
states chat have held elections th;.
year, have done likewise. Never
was tiere so fierce ,a1ght made by tn,
Demoeracy--ncqsr we're they so ut.
terly and completely routed Las;
fall they cartcd the State by 8o00-
this fab ,ney are beaten 70, 900. Why
is itY
.The Democracy last fall went into
the campaign . war party, Their
ticket was made up Of men who had
given the war reasonable support,
they denied that yallandigham was
representative Of the principles of
their party, and their candidates ma
ny of them, were active in raising
volunteers. Under the circumstanc.
es the Enion men cared but littlo for
the result. SO that the great work
was going forward, they cared moth.
ing for place or power. Not a dozen
Cnion speeches were made IN the
state.
After the election a new era com.
menced. Vallanligham was brought
from his hiding place, and made the
Democratic saint. Batteries till then
concealed were opened full upon the
Administration, and the Democratic
party was declared to be opposed to
ahe war under all circumstances.
Vallandigham's nomination was in.
cvitable. II would have been rank
injustice to have taken the creed and
not the man, and so Vallandignam
was nQiainated on the following plat
form -
Opposition to the Finance system.
Opposition to the suspension of
the writ Of habeas corpus.
Opposition to ConGscation, Eman.
cipation. and the arming of negroes.
Opposition to Conscription.
Ip short, opposition to the war,
and everything connected with it.
Tho Union party shirked no ques.
tion, lodged no responsibility. They
openly defended these measures, and
went into the canvass upon their mer-
its. What is the result? A full and
complete endorsement Of the Admin
istration and it's acts, a verdict that
the war shall 60 ca until the rebel
lion is crushed, and that the people
approve Of the principles upon which
the war is being conducted. There
is no draw back, whatever to this vic.
tory The principles involved were
fully discussed, and the people voted
iatelligenuy.
The rebels and their Northern al
lies have been taught that Ohio is
loyal--that she looks back with no
vain regrets to the sacrifices she has
made, but that TO maintain the Gov
ernment she is ready to make more.
They have learned that in times like
these party ties are ropes Of sand
that the people cannot be led by a
party name into treason-that right
and justice, if boldly proclaimed,
will always receive the support of the
people. Let the friends Of civil and
religious liberty take frsqh courage,
and 60 ON until the Republic is not
only saved but purified.

the effort. DAVID TOD,

UNION CLURx.

A Union club has just been formed in
Boston, the President OF which IS Edward
Everett. A similar organization has been
established in New York There is need OF
Union club in every town and village in
the whole North. One great object of such
societies should be the publication and circu
lation of Union documents. At present, the
thoughts Of the Republican press of the coun-
try only reach loyal men. The men who
most need the influence of patriotic senti.
ments are constantly poisoned with the trea-
son of cisloyal papers. They must be rea-
ched by circulars, addresses and pamphlets
Let Union club be organized at once to
educate public opinion and teach men the
priceless importance of the Union.
The copperheads beat us in united and
concerted action. They coil together night
ly to. hiss their venomous treason, and fast.
en- their deadly fangs IN the fair limbs of
the Union. These cobras Of civil society
glide along their Shiny way, and scatter ey-
erywhere the virus of anarchy and political
death. Like the serpent that ruined Pari-
disc, these reptiles would destroy our E ten.
the basilisks would charm the country to
ruin. In comparison with coppcrheads, anc .
condas and Demonstrators are virtuous ami
mails The latter are only obedient to their
natural instincts; but the former have with
deliberate and malignant depravity organized
treason and systemized conspiracy. Enam-
ored with infamy and crime, they are earn.
ing the eternal execration of all good men
by their efforts to overthrow the Union. q.
But the energy with which the Copper.
heads work is worthy Of our imitation
They are now flooding New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Connecticut and the North
west with foundations Of treason. To &C.
compiish their unholy purpose, they are us
ing money and type without stint. Doubt
less they are in alliance with the Southern
rebels, and are many Of them bribed to thci
internal work by Southern gold.
Loyal men must form Union Clubs, so as to
act pith the irresistible force Of karmoniou
,urposes and combined strength.

We are still in camp about four miles from,
