The Last Appeal.

The day OF election draws nigh. Men
OF Geauga I! are you prepared to do your
duty? Do you feel the weight Of respon.
siblity resting upon you? Are you
determined to spare no effort to ensure
the only safe and proper result? We
trust so but, If not, we beseech you to
arouse at once from your lethargy. High
hopes are cherished Of Old Geauga. Let
them not be disappointed As you love
your country and State, do not, for one
moment, indulge the belief that any Union
man can stay away from the polls with
out endangering the success Of the Union
ticket. We hope aud believe that we shal
carry the State by an overwhelming ma
jorty but we can afford 10 run no risks
when such vital interests are at stake
Should the traitor whom the so.calleC
Democratic party have nominated a
their candidate for Governor, be elected
by majority barely equal to the numbe
Of Union men in Geauga County wht
should absent themselves from the poll
on the day OF election, could we ever ceas,
TO feel the deep disgrace =? God forbic
that any number Of Union men in Olc
Geauga should incur the guilt of such
delinquency Do not depend upon thu
soldiers vote. Resolve, like brave anc
true men, that the State shall be carriec
on the home vote. and let the vote OF tn,
soldiers come to swell the majority tha
shall overwhelm the enemy. Remem5e
that the enemy is unscrupulous and de
signing, and is prepared to take advanlag
OF the most trihirg technically, in orde
to disfranchise the soldiers, if it shall b
necessary to his purpose. Remember
also, the important bearing the election
win have upon the Presidential contest o
1864. Let every man do his whole duty
and the resu! will 90 one of which W,
may well be proud.

Copperhead Programme.

! There isno doubt that the Nailandigham
! party, fearful OF an overwhelming de-
! feat il fair election is held. intend 10 i'm
port voters from the West md South, who
are 10 come with arms openly in their
hands, to force an election by such dam
nabe scenes as characterized the early
days Of border.ruiliansm in kansas.--
Proof of this is not wanting. A speech
was lately made in Morgan county, ILL
nois,a which one Springer, who was Sec
retaiy OF the late Democratic Constitution
al Convention Of that State, asked the
people il they would 20 to Ohio with him
to see Vallaudigham fairly treated; also if
they would pay their own expenses, and
also il they would go armed, aud il they
had arms. 10 these questions The crowd
answered yes, aud person present says
many Of them ilonrished their pistols.
a Springfield correspondent OF the Chi
cago Tribune, in view Of This and other
similar indications, utters the following
warning;
"Now, with all seriousness and sober
ness, and with as conscientious motives
as ever did an action in my life, l warn
the people of Ohio Of the danger that
threatens, not only their electoral rights,
but their lives and property. The plan Of
these copper heads is fora number Of them
to 90 to OHIO from this State, Kentucky,
Indiana, and even Missouri, and TO go
openly and with arms in their hands,
II they are prevented from so doing, il
will of course bring on collision, and
this they seek and do not wish TO avoid.
1t is calculated that, if twenty men from
each county in Illinois and Indiana, aud
proporlionate number from the border
counties OF Kentucky, can be got into
Ohio,it will turn the scale 10 favor of Val.
landigham, so far as The "home vote" is
concerned. II Vallandigham is elected
by the home vote, the intention then is to
inaugurale him Governor, notwi.hstand
ing ;hat the soldiers vote may turn The
scale against him. That vote is decided
to be unconstitutional by the Copperheads,
and it will not be counted.
"Tne above is the programme. as |
have it from one who knows. and in whom
have utmost confidence. The movement
is TO commence in this State on the 9Th Of
October, but il will not be fairly under
way !or tow days thereafter.
Let the people OF Ohio be warned in
lime. Let them be vigilant and deter
mined to meet this outrage upon tbeil
rights, and all m ~ yet be well. Let them
on the other hand, imagine that they have
nothing to do but vote on election day. ant
everything may be lost, the Union ilsel
even. To my view, the salvation of tn,
country depends upon the election in Ohi
Just as much as the salvation Of Pennsyl
I vauia from rebel devastation depended
o upon Cen. Meade's stand at Gettysburg
q Union men OF Ohio, the eyes of the en-
tire North are upon you. BE up and do
, ing. Acqul yourselves like men in tn
coming contest"

THE ONO CAMPAIGN Chicago Trib
une, 10 the course Of an article on the Ohio
election. says:
The Copperhead spoutcrs keep carefully
out of view the crimo for which the traitor
vallandigham was sent to his friends in Dix
lie. They never pointed out tho fact that
he was engaged in fomenting sed;:ior
among the people, in advising resistance t'
tho draft, in encouraging desertions OF sol
ders from tho army, and by every means IN
his power weakening tho Government anc
dscou.ogpg the people in their contes
with gigantic rebellion. Tho proper wa,
to doal with such villains would DO to try
them by drum-head court martial, ant
shoot thom on the spot. Tho Government
of any other nation under heaven weult
dispose of such treason mongers.

Lees Official Report.

WAsHINGToN, October 5th.
The Richmond Dispa'ch Of Saturday
last contains General Lees official report
of his Pennsylvania campaign. 1t occu.
pies nearly three columns Of the Dispatch.
The reasons for the campaign ale thus
summed up:
The position occupied by the army op.
posi,e Fredericksburg being one in which
he could not be attacked TO advantage,
it was determined TO draw them from it.
The execution Of this purpose embraced
the troops that had occupied the lower
part Of 1t during the winter and spring,
and, il practicable, the transfer Of the
scene Of hostilities north Of the Potomac.
1t was thought the corresponding move
men,s on the part Of the enemy TO which
those contemplated by us would probably
give rise might offer fair opportunity to
strike blow at the army then command
ed by General Hooker, and that in any
event that the army would be compelled
to leave Virginia, and possibly to draw 10
its support troops designed 10 operate
against other parts Of the country. 70
this way it was supposed the enemy's plan
Of campaign for the summer would be bro
ken up, and part Of the season for active
operations be consumed in the formation
of new combinations and preparations that
they would require. In addition to these
advantages it was hoped that other valua'
bic results might be snatched by military
success.

by sca,hing review Of the Congressional
course of Valandigham, showing his per.
sistent hostility to the Government. Mr..
record, but quoted from speeches and let
ters of his candidate, his professions o.
Unionism. Mr.. Palmer followed, saying
that, as Mr.. Coe had confined himself to
reading extracts, he would also read an
extract and ask their opinion upon it.
He then read the following:
proclamation to theCiuzens and Soldiers OF the
United States
"You are promised liberty by the lead
ers Of your affairs, but is there an individ-
uai IN the enjoyment Oft, saving your op-
pressors? Who among you dare 10 speak
or write wha, he thinks against the tyran.
ny which has robbed you OF your proper
ty, imprsons your sons, drags You to the
field of battle, and is daily deluging your
country with blood?
"Iour country once was happy, and had
the prolfers Of peace been embraced, the
last two years of misery had been spent
in peace, and plenty. and repairing the
desolalion Of the quarrel"
On conclusion OF the reading, Mr.. Coe.
who had been noddng his approval at
every sentence, said loudly, "TBAr's

with an emphasis that thrilled the hearts
of the eager!y.lIstening crowd, "THAT is
THE LANGUAGE OF BENEDICT ARNOLD,

BLING TRAITOR, FROM WEST POINT"
The effect was electrical, The Vallan-
digham champion was dumb; his rpnold.
ers downcast. The Union men had no
need to say anything to add 10 the start

duced. What must be the thought OF

sells of the man who, before Vallandig-
