OLD MIR Brown, of New Jersey is a
Peace Democrat But what is a "Peace
Democrat ?" In these days he is man,
who, having adhered to and acted with
the sympathisers with secession until they
broke out in open war against the Govern
ment and Country, wonld now hand over
to his lriends-the traitors-the Constitu,
tion and the old Flag Of our fathers, to be
dcsecrated, insulted and humbed before
the world, that a cruel, despotic and bar
barous slave arstocracy may obtain power
and shut out from the eyes of the world
the last glimmcr of Freedom and civiliza.
tion-ioreyer. lie is coward traitor, who,
under the plea of peace, would destroy
the Government and from its ruins
bring anarchy, blood and untold misery
to the homes and hearts of millions ot
hitherto happy people. Such a peace

On THE NINETEENTH of the present
mouth, the people will be called upon to
vote for a good, true, honest and loyal
man TO represent them in Congress for
the next Two years On the side of trea-
son we have as u candidate, an old worn
out politician IA .Ierseyman whose
whole life has been trained and devoted
TO the cause of treason and rebellion I
against the government, as has been
ahundantly shown in the action of the
Vallandighans the Woods, the Pughs, I
the Coxes. the Saulsburys drunk in the
gutter, and the Bayards sober in the
gambling hells. Such man the free in
telligent voters are insultingly asked to
support as their Representative.
On the other hand, the friends of the
Union and Government have presented
for the suffrages of the loyal electors of
the State, NATHANIEL Il. SMITHERs,
gentleman, born on the soil of Delaware,
and reared as it were in the very lap Of
patriotism and ioaliy to the glorious old
flag of his county. Without spot OF
bemish uron his private character, his
public reputation stands above reproach
or suspicion Honest, yirtuous, sagacious
and talented, and deeply mbued with an
innate love of country, he is lust the man
to represent the loyal sentiment Of thc
great Union party of the nation in Con
gress. In him the county will haze a
firm, uniinchng, patriotic advocate of the
national honor, and the State noble and
faithful representative Of her interests and
prosperity. He will not barter away to
traitors the power and glory of his coun-
try, nor will he stand idly by and see the
life of the nation rudely attacked, without
raising his voice in her defence and his
influence in behalf of her bleeding cause.
He will do credit to himself, his State and
the nation in all his votes and speeches
and will, moreover stand mp for the rights
and interests of the brave men who are
fighting the battles Of Liberty and who
are being daily assaicd by the Brown
Copperheod secessionists of the North, a,
vile murdercrs and abolition hirelings -
That he may be elected is the earnest dc
sire of every true soldier now in the ield
from Delaware That he ought to b,
elected is the feeling of every well-wishel
of his Country. That lie will be elected
is the foregone conclusion of a patriot,
; party that only asks the prompt and early
deposit of every Union ballot on election
+ day, to make the fact manifest.

Why DOES NoT old Mr.. Brown come out
into the light Of the open countenances Of
the people Of Wilmington, when he speaks
upon the questions Of the day, instead of
sneakiug like Il suspected ielon, up into one
Of The dark streets Of tile Fifth Ward, at
night7 Is he afraid to show his mbecile
form before an honest Delaware audience,
under the impression that not being a very
fair sample OF an honorable man, it is best
for him TO hide himself away in small en-
gino house from the popular gaze? Or, does
he-which is the more likely reason-lear to
confront the loyal masses openly, with his
reasonable dogmas and secession sympa-
thies? Does any one suppose the Copper
heads would hide their light thus under
bushel, il they did not feel that it was deiec-
tive and could not stand the breezes Of
popular and healthy patriotism A guilty
conscience is sad and troublesome com
panion, and evidently has made Il great
coward of Mr.. Brown of New Jersey.

yet they are encouraging the armed foe to

IT Is SOMEWHAT remarkable that to
find fault with the Government is one of
the easiest things in the world for Cop
perhead while he considers it most
laborious and uphill task to speak a sin
word of condemnation of the traitors who
are striking at the vitals of the nation
With the Copperhcad party led by Charles
Brown, of New Jersey, Mr.. LINCOLN,
who is striving with all his energy
and power to preserve the Country and
its liberties, is cruel despot and u
bloody tyrant; while for JctT. Davis,
the villain, who, with perjury ON lis soul
and treason in his corrupt heart, turns
the whetted steel against the brave men
who are standing between the armed des
troyers of the Government and their "dear
native land, to defend with their lives
the priceless heritage of free government
not one word of censure escapes theiI
lips.
But such is the nature and tendency O
Copperheadism. Despsing the power
and prosperity Of the Republic its adhe
rents would wrest it from the grasp of it,
heroic defenders and guardians, and hant
it over to the tender mercics of the ackal
of bloody treason and slavery, to be til,
football Of nations and the by-word ant
jest of ages. The people, however, arr
declaring with emphasis that this shal
not be. They have spoken the words
Treason shall be cruslcd on; and until i
is, there shall be no peace for the trans
gressors, no safety for the enemies of thu
Government. BY all that is holy and jus
and patriotic, tie Uniu shall Egc. SIa
very may die Traitors may fall : Peo
pies may disappear, and Empires crumbl
to nought, but this glorious Republic
shall live in the new splendor of universe
Liberty, Of undivided glory and powel
forever and forever.

doubtless have happy effect upon the

deceived and credulous people who yet
adhere to the Copperhead party, and

We HOPE that Union people will not
suffer themselves to be beguiled into any
feeling of security based upon the triumph
of the Union cause in other States. All
this is very gratifying, but so far from
making us relax our efforts, it should i'm
pei us to strike all the more vigorously
for the cause. The foe here is and has
long been strongly intrenched and san
guine. Our success will be imperilled by
any false sense of security. Eternal vigi-
lance is the price Of victory, and not until
we know that Charley Brown is defeated
and N, b. Smithers is elected ought we
to cease our utmost efforts. Work, scork,
