LOVal Democrats.

"Here's our heart and here's our hand''
in all sincerity to all those loyal Demo-
Gratis who preferred their country to par
ty. The country owes them debt of
gratitude. Every Democrat who voted
for Curtin is moral hero. The Douglas
Democrats have at last discovered the
great mistake they made in permitting
the Breckinridgers to gain the control Of
their party. If Douglas had lived, it
would not be so. That patriot would
have kept his party steady for the Union.
His death threw it into confusion. His
friends, however, will now rally and throw
overheard the tricksters who crept into the
chief places in the party. We would not
only thank Douglas men, but many who,
believing them to be thoroughly loyal,
voted for Bell and Breckenridge. These
voters proved their patriotism by voting
for Curtin.

Gen. Cameron's Predictions,

The evening before the recent Election
SIMON CAMERON presided over q Union
meeting at Harrisburg. lie said be voted
not for the man, but for the cause, and
predicted the triumph, by reelection, ol
ANDREW G. CURTIN. In conclusion, the
General said
Now, gentlemen, let me prophesy q
lit;le-for an old man may be permitted
to do this. The people of Pennsylvania
have re-nominated Mr. Curtin because the
war is going on, and because hey believe
it would not be wise to change the com.
mauder. Let me prophesy that in . short
time there will be another person re-nom-
mated aud reelected, and that person will
be ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Deafeniug
applause, continuing some moments l
might say more on this subject, gentlemen,
but you have responded so heartily that
it is unnecessary. Only remember that l
make the prophecy"
Gen. Cameron is sagacious man, and
gives expression to tho popular feeling in
this matter.

"Never Despair Of the Republic ="

Most of our Democratic friends bow to
the verdict of the ballot-box with graceful
Difference. They beat us, a trfe, last
year, on small vote: They this year lose,
by large majority, on a greater vote.
They know they are fairly, honorably de-
feated Though against their judgment,
they submit, as good citizens ever should
but as slaveholding Rebels did not.
Indeed, some of our minority neighbors
have a smile in one corner of their mouth,
as if they rather liked it. And more than
one have said they have voted their last
Democratic ticket.
Others, unfortunately, look cross-blue
almost as disconsolate as a "starved
mule chawing thistle!" Especially do
those orators and editors who have lied
the worst, and tried most to deceive the
honest people, take it hardest. They
have staked all against the Government
working with the Rebels -
and lost. They think everything is ruin
ed. simply because a slavery-loving man
is not elected Governor of Free Penn'a
But they should console themselves with
the fact that we have a Governor true to
the nation and to the loyal people, and
that the Union is to stand thoug h any and
all present parties fall.

FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN

ssg-The Mechanics and working men
Of Lewisburg are entitled TO most of the
credit for the splendid vote for Curtin in
this vicinity. They have started the Gel.

invite the cordial cooperation of all Sc

dissipation-without any needless offente
to their defeated neighbors-to be partiei-

and to close early and in an orderly

Should the day prove unfavorable, the

friends desired a chance to "beat' the

ren The Union Committee for Union
county acknowledge the efficient services
of those who addressed the several meet
ings held in various parts of the county
during the campaign which has just
closed. They also acknowledge with
great satisfaction the services Of those in
their respective districts who spent
portion of their time In various ways
aiding to bring about so desirable result
at the election on the 18th inst, proving
that Union county is truly loyal to the
Government of the United States when
engaged in the suppression of an uncalled
for and unjust Rebellion.
The result of the elections in California,
Maine, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa, &c,
may, we think, be a pretty sure index Of
the campaign to take place for President

The October Victories!

PENNSYLVANIA was lost to the
Administration last year, by our own
carelessness, failing on State Ticket
by $500. and the Legislature by |
vote. This year, on a fuller vote, we
carry by $4,000 to 10000 Of popular
vote, and gain the Legislature and a
State Treasurer. 1t was fierce and
momentous contest, as,
'in the ide. Of October,

And thousands vanquishedW ooC,jvard the vain,
And ABR,u,N. chief ruler, and ASDhEw the true,
Sustained bv the votes. snaorsed true blue,
And Copp.rheais and Rebels alike mournet the day
When they challenged the people in voting arr"y!"
OHIO was also lost last fall by our
own supineness, and his friends had
the honest impudence to take up the
traitor Vallandigham for Governor.
He is defeated, by the Home vote and
by the Soldiers, to the tune of $4,000
or 100000. Avaunt, traitor!
INDIANA elected County Officers
mostly of the Union stripe-gains.
In IOWA the Democrats, hopeless
of success with Peace man, took up
good Soldier for Governor. But
the people didn't like his company, so
they elected Col. Stone, Rep, by a
trilling maj. of 10000 or $4,000.
NEBRASKA Territory elects
Republican Legislature.
BALTIMORE elects Administra.

show Of opposition.
Such is the popular verdict for
sustaining the Government in crush.

Shelby in Missouri terminated most dis.

when . battle ensued which lasted five
hours. The Rebels were completely rous-
ed aud scattered in all directions, with
the loss Of oil their artillery, baggage, .
large num- Der Of fsmall arms, and prisoners.
Their loss in killed and wounded is also
very large. Our forces we're iu pursuit Of

The loss Of Rebel railroad stock At
Grenada, Miss, WAS quite as serious ss
the most extravagaut estimate made it
appear.
Our latest information from the Army
Of the Cumberland states that Wheeler,
who attempted to destroy Rosecraus'
communications, has been chased back
sgain across+he Tennessee, glad enough
to give up bis enterprise and seek safety
within the Rebel lines.
1t now appears that the Rebels have .
perfect blockade in Charleston Harbor

reserved q passage for their own craft,

this fact, time will be required for the

This shows what WORK will do. As
a general rule, people receive as truth
what they READ and HEAR. If they hear
and read truth, they vote accordingly: if
they receive error, they vote wrong. The
lesson is-Diffuse correct information, and
the Election Returns will be right And
the coming Winter will be the best time
to occupy the public mind with political
Intelligence by means of discussion, news
pers, and pamphlets. Let the Union
Leagues continue their organizations
sowing good seed, in quiet times, to bear
fruit in the next political harvest.

In 1850, and in 1868, Union county
was pretty well canvassed by both parties,
and the result was large Republican Union
majorities. In 1862, our party allowed
the Democrats to have their own way
all the speeches, all the hurrahs, all the
excitement-aud they cut our majorities
down nearly one half. See the following
