The Election.

Plague on the Copperheads, the more
you poke EN- up, the more they wont keep
still. The Leaguers hercabouts had a
great snake hunt on Monday last and Gas
the election returns show were eminently
successful. They succeeded in finding the
objects of their search, but got badly Bit
ten by the peskA creatures. Badinage
aside, We are proud to record the fact that
the returns of Mondays election show an
increased democratic majority in tie Coun-
ty The vote was not so large as that Of
last fall, but about as full as those of pre-
ceding years at the April elections, show
ing that the gain is not fictitious, but real.
In almost all the Townships party lines
were strictly drawn and the average
majority i'll the County is about 800
This will do us Il start for the campaign
this season. We advise our democratic
friends 10 relax no part of their diligence,
but to labor on in the good cause with an
earnest abiding faith in the correctness of
their political creed until the doctrines of
democratic truth SO utterly oycrwhelm the
of Constitutional freedom rs to
leave them no resting place outside of their
dark lantern dens, and places where
Leaguers most do congregate in the wee
small hours of the morning. Let the work
be thorough, and to this end let every
democrat take ard read at least one sound
democratic paper, thus enabling himself to
give reason for the faith that is ia him.
We confidently expect to see the State of
Indiana gloriously redeemed from the
thraldom of the oppressors who are rioting
in the ill-gotten gains of peace and power,
and who more than once, have basely be-
trayed the confidence reposed in them by
a generous people. We start the ball in
Marshall, may it roll on until the last yes
t g, of fanaticism is crushed out beyond
hope of resuscitation.

That off such a struggle is once begun,
and the citizens of one section ofthe coun-

the other, in doubtful conflict, let the bat
tie result as it may, there will be an end of
the Union, and with it an end of the home
of freedom. The victory of the injur-
ed would not secure to them the blessings
of liberty; it would avenge their wrongs.
