WHAT SIDE?

The condition of our country demands
that every mans side should;toe defined, and
his acts define that side whether his judgment
concurs therein or not There are now but
two sides: one is for, the other against, the
Constitution and Government of the United
States. lie who is for is loyal and true to
his obligations to his country he who is
against is dsloyal CT a traitor. His acts
show which side he is on, and his declara-
lions and sayings do not affect his side,
though they may indicate his position or
party. '..'' -
The issue before the people in the present
contest is not question Of party, but Of
country. The nation is fighting for uniOn,
which is life, or disuaioa, which is death to
its greatness and safety. If the Government
maintains the integrity Of the Union by put
ting down the rebellion, it establishes the
greatness and safety Of The nation IS show
ing to the world a polce' in this people not
to be overcome BY the nonarchics of Europe,
" and whose good will and friendship they will
cultivate by their respect and non-interre-
renee. If the Government fails to put down
the rebellion, it will shcw at once a great and
mighty Republic broken to pieces and too
helpless and Insignificant to command the
respect of even third rate European mon-
archy, md by its belplessncss inviting the
oppression and contempt of all, = ita
Which side do you take: that Of an united
land respected nation, or that of a destroyed
and broken 'dqwn people with q Government
not strong enough to ward off the threaten
iugs from abroad, o. unity enough to protect
them from seliIdestruetion In such con-

Independent Candidates.

Remember, Union men Of Allegany, that
as it is not the policy of your opponents, at
present, to place regular Ticket in the field
in opposition to the Regular Unconditional
Union Ticket knowing as they well do, the
strength Of the Union party in the county,
they will use their utmost Efforts to advance
the inter st of independent candidates, there
by expecting TO throw discora into the Union
ranks. Let no true blue Union man be
caught in this trap. Vote the entire ticket
that your victory on the 18th of November
next, may be full and complete.

HE PENINSULA CAMPAIGN IL VIRGINIA /:
by Rev. J. J. Marks, d. y.
We have received a COPY Of this work
from Tic publishers, J. Is. Lippincott & Co.,
Philadelphia through Hale Swartzwelacr, Of
this city ander Belviderc IAN. This is one
Of the most readable and interesting books Of
the scason., 1t is a thrilling tale Of the Pc
nirsula campaign, by al eye witness and act
or in the terrible scenes which he describes.
We read with suspicion the various accounts
Of newspaper reporters, but the position and
high-toned moral standing Of DR.. Marks
give to his book the warrant Of truthfulncSs
which we cannot impcach. '
THE campaign Of the Peninsula was the
Moscow expedition CT the great rebellion
The departure Of the army Of. the Potomac
for the Peninsula was 4 triumphant pageant.
3 Its appearance upon the plains Of Hampton
was the grandest and most magnificent spec
tacle ever beheld upon this continent. But
that noble army was subject TO disaster after
disaster until. as stated by DR.. Marks, GO, 900
were in hospitals, lying wounded on the fields,
or killed in battle, whilst $4,000 alone re-
maipcd '' .'s
The great labors. the patriotic hcroism,
and the horrible suhterings Of the Union ar
my of TIE Potomac seem almost incredible.
The failure of the campaign is evidently
owing to the commanding general; igno-
rance of the country in which he was oper-
ating, and his want of knowledge Of the en-
envy, on account Of which he delayed to
throw up entertainments, when, by a rapid
advance, Richmond would have fallen into
his possession. ..fE g..
