country, we appeal to you for the last time
before the election. You owe the 18th OF

fight and toll for the Government that our
Fathers framed. viii you permit such noble,
self-sacrifcing devotion to be unaidcd by
you? You say you will VOTE for the Union,
Can you do no more than this! Can you
not s. end one day in good earnest work at
the polls? Your duty is to VOTE and to
WORK for the compete triumph Of the Gov
eminent and the utter destruction of rebel
lion and treason. Overwhelming majorities
in Iowa, on Tuesday next, will demoralize the
rebel hordes, dishearten their sympathizers

strengthen the arms of our heroic friends on
distant fields Your presence-your efforts at
the polls-will make many votes in each
township. See that every Unionist votes
early. Do not postpone sending for the in
valids and inf'm beyond the hour Of noon.-

structions in the way Of legal, but mark every
illegal vote. Examine we'll the law of suf

your township to avoid the enrolment. Re-
member those who have claimed exemption
from military duty on account of alienage-
Let the name of every person who votes ille-

How the Victory was Won.


The Bulletin (San Francisco) of the Sd o!
september tells how the re cent splendid Union
victory was won in California in the following
words:
"The days work was a noble one. Bust
ness in town was almost entirely suspended.
The best men in the city stood at the polls
and worked from So'clock till sunset for the
Union ticket There was not an arrest made
during the day, nor any occa> lion for one In
this city whore Downey (CopperheadD vas
expected to get the entire Irish vote, and run
better on account of his pat fathfulness to
the city than anywhere else, Low Union)
bea's him by nearly 5000 majority"
Here is the result of earnest work. A city
that the Unionists expected was either against
them or for them by meagre majority, rolls
up 5000 majority instead. The issue was so
great and the result so important to the Union
cause, that business was almost entirely sus
pended, and the best men in the city stood at
the pools and WORKED from o'clock A. N.
till sundown'
To the Union men of Bloomington town.
ship we appeal TO follow the example of your
co-laborers in San Francisco A Union vic
tory HERE is as important as THERE The
issue is the same. To the leading men of the
Union party-those who never mingle in
political gatherings do nothing but vote
on election days-we appeal. You have in
fuence that cxerted at the polls will certai ly
elect every candidate on our ticket Your
character and standing as citizens, desiring
only the success of the right, will influence
many votes, if you stand at the polls Mer-
chants, mi|lers and master mechanics, men of
leisure, is it too much to ask you to devote
one day in the year to your political princi
ples-to the cause of your country? Do you
not know the effect of Peace victory in
Iowa upon the rebels-can there be any doubt
about it? Determine, then, that Tuesday,
October 18th, shall be devot' to the Union
cause. Stand at the polls and work, and ours
will be an overwhelming victory.

MORE EVIDENCE OF VALLANDlGnAM's TREA-
son.-In speech at Galhpois, Ohio,
Sept mber 2sth, Gen. S. F. Carey mentioned
fact that voters should remember, to wit :
Valandigham introduced into the House a
resolution declaring vacant the seats Of Blair
of Missouri, and Curtis of Iowa, because they
had gone into the Union Army, while he
voted against resolution for the expulsion
of Mr.. Clark, who had gone into the rebel
army In what act, since the rebellion broke
out, has not Va'landigham proved himself to
be traitor? .-.

"a Weak IIie.C

The Courier has reiterated the falsehood
uttered by the Cincinnati Enquirer. N Y.
World, and other Copperhead papers, that
enough Of Rosecrans' army was detached
and sent into Ohio to electioneer and vote
against Vallandigham to have insured VIC
tory over Bragg, had they remained in the
army. The Cincinnati Gazette says of this
ridiculous invention:
ut is monstrous falsehood, and could
have been told for no other than reasonable
purpose. Blu it is also weak lie and shows
that the Worid's venom exceeds its informa-
ton, for the Ohio soldiers have by law the
means 10 vote against Vallandigham without
coming home. We suppose there were fewer
troops in Ohio at the time of this battle than
at any time since the raising of troops for the
war began"
Why has not the Courier editor the moral
and political honesty to tell its readers the
true cause of Rosecrans' repulsef Has he no
sense Of honor-is he destitute of truth-has
he no shame is he downright villain that
he will insist upon leaving the ignorant mass
es of his party in the dark as to the history
of the times? Tell them, sir, that by that
perfidy that has marked every step Of the re-
bcllious South, and for which you have no
note of condemn alton, the 81 900 rebel sol
dies taken at Vlcksburg and released upon
parole of their honor that they would not
again take up arms until exchanged for cor
responding number of our soldiers were, by
the Davis Government, declared exchanged,
and ordered to report to Bragg, in Rosecrans'
front. That by this perfidious act, Of which
you, sir, have never yet made mention in
your columns, Bragg was reinforced by full
twenty five thousand men. Tell them that
oil the available troo;s in the rebel army
of the Mississippi, reinforced by two full
corps from the army Of Virginia, and by the
unexchanged prisoners before mentioned, were
thrown upon Rosecrans for the purpose of
recovering East Tennessee. That with the
powerful army Of nearly lao, 900 men, Rose

friends of the Courier terrible pummelng,
from which they will not speedily recover
Rosecrans did not gain victory, neither did
the Butternuts. Tell your readers these facts
and you will utter more truth than has been
contained in your rebel sheet for six months
past at least.
The President has no need of troops at the
ballot box, to secure Union victories. There
is yet enough Of virtue, honesty and integrity
among the people to slay and bury the But

him that to our personal knowledge several
tolerable debaters among the Union men of
this county were anxious for tilt with the
Butternut Democrats of this county, but as
one of them said, he wanted to debate with

The idea of Butler, O'Connor, Cloud and
others of our speakers, standing up before
the majority of those who compose the
Democratic Club of this city, and expounding
the Constitution, the laws of war and of na
tons, simply suggests the idea of casting
pearls before swine." Let Henry O'Conror
get up in Hare's Hall, and tell that Club that
the Constitution made provision for the sus-
pension of the writ of habeas corpus, the
majority of the Club would swear that was
id Abolition lie." But let Wallace tell
them that the writ of ha6e1s corpus was
writ to prevent niggers voting in Iowa, and
they would swear that Wallace is a good
