THE COlfiNG ELECTTON,

THE COMING ELECTION.
The result Of the approaching election for Del.
egate to Congress will be vastly more important,
in its bearing upon the interests Of our Territory,
than that Of any preceding contest. On the
second Monday Of July instant the ballot-box
will test the loyalty and fidelity Of our citizens
TO the Union and Government Of our country.
The only issue here, as elsewhere, Is Union or
DisuniOn. While the great mass Of the people
Of the Territory are true and loyal, and heartily
sustain the Administration in It's patriotic exer-
tons to crush the rebellion, we have In our midst
class Of individuals who, while protesting Union
sentiments, and crying out for "a more vigorous
prosecution Of the war" let no opportunity es-
cape to vent their malignant spleen upon the
Government, and to denounce every measure
adopted to crush the rebellion; and yet they
claim to be good citizensi They are known as
Peace Democrats or COpperheads. They are not
peculiar to Washington Territory. We fnd them
in Ohio, New York, Indiana, illinois, and among
the knights Of the Golden Circle and secret foes
Of the Government everywhere. In Ohio they
have, in convention, nominated as their candidate
for Governor Of that State q. L. Vallandigham, Q
man tried and convicted Of treason to bis Gov.
ernment, and banished for his crime.
What has been the course Of the leaders Of
this Peace Democracy in our Territory The
loyal citizens Of the Territory, Democrats and
Republicans, were in favor Of calling Union
Convention to nominate suitable man to repre-.

THE TRAIToR's APPEAL--vallandigham, says
. New York paper, appeals 10 time to justify
him. And what win time, what will the Impair
tiAl historian, have to say Of himI Il must be
written that he was, iD . time that traitors
abOunded, one Of their sneaking supporters. Il
must be written that when those with whom he
bad acted in Congress, and whose plans and
plots he had helped, one after the other dropped
out and passed openly over to the enemy, be
was too cOwardly to take the feld with them,
but stayed In his seat and continued to do what
lay In his power, fdrtive!y and otherwise to iet.
ter the energies Of Government and people; and
he afterwards lost no opportunity Of holding the
hands Of great nation, while Floyd picked It's
pockets and JEFF. Davis tried to cut It's throat.
Il win be said that this mans devotion to his coun.
try's enemies could not have been greater IL
those enemies had been her, as they were bis,
best friends; that, needing neither shame nor
honor, he consistently voted in Congress against
every measure necessary to bis country's de-
fense; and when his constituents sent an honest
man to gil bis place, that then his last resource
was TO inHame the minds Of ignorant men, and
to stir up sedition at home while We were pressed
hard BY an enemy on our borders.

OPINION OF DoUOLAS-SPeaking Of the rebel
lion, Stephen A. Douglas said: "There are only
two sides to the question. Every man must be
Tor the United States or against Il There can
bo no neutrals in this war-only patriots or
traitors" The Northern COpperheads who
claim to have been Douglas men can hardly re-
concile this with their present course.

Reasons Assigned for the Re.
mOyaI of General ROsecrans.

The newspapers are assigning variety OF
reasons for the removal of Gen. RosecranS
from the command of the Department OF
the Cumberland. The Washington Chronl,
Gle is responsible for the following state
ment:
We are in receipt of astounding intelli-
gence in regard to the removal OF General
Rosecrans The whole country will be
stirred at what we shall chronicle.
1t is runiored that three charges are made
against this late popular commander.
The first charge is preferred by Generals
Crittenden and McCook, to the effect that
Rosecrans left tue battle field during the
crisis, and fled to Chattanooga, and report
ed to officers that the day was lost. 1t IS
reported that subsequently, through opium,
he became insensibe.
The second charge, it is rumored, is made
by the government, to the effect that ms
orders were to remain at Chattanooga un-
til reinforcements should arrive.
The third charge, as rumorod, is tothe Ell
feet that be declined to move from Muir
freesboro' in June last, when ordered to do
so by the government, as an opportunity
was offered to crush Bragg, large portion
OF his army having been withdrawn to sue
cor Cen Johnston. who was operating
against Grant.
IL these charges are true, it is most un'
fortunate, as the name of Rosecrans was a
talisman of immense weight.
A New York paper makes the sweeping
accusation that, during the battle OF Chlcka,
mauga, Generals Rosecrans, Crlttenden and
McCook were asleep at Chattanooga. We
learn, semi i-officialy, that, in regard tG
Gen. Crttenden this statement is false, ,ano
that nothing has warranted the circulation
uf such paragraph, The blame, 1t Is SAID
connected with the failure of Chickamau
ga will fall wholly cpon Rosecrans.
