What the COp3crleads Hare
Bone.

They have embarrassed the Nationa
Government at every step in the prOgres:
Of the present war.
They have sympatbizel with the enc
my arrayed in arms against us, and who
are seeking the ruin of the Republic and
the humiliation of the Free States
They have defended the conduct Of the
rebeI!i0us States, and charge the res pom,
sibility Of the war wholly upon the anti
slavery sentiment Of the North
They have opposed every effort Of the
Government to procure re;uforcamouu
for the army, fomenting popular disturb
ances to arrest the draft, aud leading
people to believe that if they enlisted il
would only be to aid IN n Abolition war
conducted by blundering and iuc7mpe
tent Generals, and an uuequa.ly uutrust
worthy Var Department.
They have augmented tde National
deb. by agtfully GsPEelia.iag the Nation
al currency, 50 that the Government ha:
been obliged to pay nearly three times q:
much for It's supplies as there was any
occasion for.
They have increased the burdens Of
the people BY the same process, IN order
to make the war unpopular aud thu:
compel an igrob.e peace.
They have underratcd every success:
Of the Union arms IN the field, and ez.
ag-erated every Rebel success, however
slight; they have Systematically nagni
fed all the periis aud troubles OF our ar.
mics, deprecated the abilities aud achiov-
ments Of every successful Union general,
and eztollcd every Rebel leader; they
have made much Of imaginary dangers in
our path, regularly exaggerated the forces
of the Rebels, at the same time that they
have moderated ours.
They have aSsailed every general Of ouE
armies who was known to have his sym
pathies with Us in this war, whether he
were Democrat or Republican, and they
have defended every general Of pro-slaye.
n prociivities, whether successful o.
unsuccessful.
They have proven by their actions tha:
they would rather save slavery than tie
Union.
They have defended every domestic
traitor, however rank his treason.
And 1t Chicago they have formally
declared in favor Of . base and c3TaIdly
surrender to the Southern Rebels.

WASHINGTON, Oct. -.
The President vas serenaded at the
/ lYlite House tonight, and on appearing
at an upper window, spoke as follows.
being frequently interrupted BY applause
a am notified that this is a compli-
ment paid me by the loyal Maryianders
resilient in this District. l infer that
.he adoption of the new Constitution for
the State furnishes the OCCASION, and that
in your view, lie extirpation Of slavery
constitutes the chief merit of the new
Constitution.
- Most heartily DO | congratulate you
and Maryland, and the nation and the
the world npon the event. [ regret that
it did not occur two years sooner, which,
I am sure, would have saved to the na-
.ion more money than would have met
all the private loss incident to the meas
ure Bat it has come, at last, and | sim
cerely hope its friends may fully realize
all their anticipations of good from it, and
that its opponents may, by its effect, be
agroeably and proftably disappointed.
"a word upon another subject
Something said BY the Secretary Of State,
in his recent speech at AuburD, has been
construed by some into threat that, If I
shall be beaten at the election, l will, be-
tween then and the end of my constitu-
tjonal term, do what I may be able to ruin
the Government. Others regard the fact
that the Chicago Convention adjourned
not sine de, but to meet again, if called
to Go SO by particular individual, as the
intimation Of a purpose that if their nom-
inee shall be elected he will at once seize
the control Of the Government. | hope
the good people will permit themselves
to suffer no uneasiness on this point.
| am struggling to maintain the Gov
ernment, not TO overthrow it. | am
struggling especially to prevent others
from overthrowing it. L therefore say,
that, if I shall live, I shall remain Presi-
dent until the fourth Of mex. March and
that whoever shall be constitutionally
elected therefor, in November shall be
duly installed as President on the fourth
Of March, and that, in the interval, I
shall do my utmost that whoever is to
hold the helm for the next voyage shall
start with the best possible chance to save
the ship.
This is due to the people both on
principle and under the Constitution.
Their will, constitutionalIy expressed is
the ultimate law for all. If they should
deliberately resolve to have immediate
peace, even at the loss OF their country
and their liberties, I know not the power
or the right to resist them. 1t is their
own business, they must DO as they please
with their own. believe, however, they
are still resolved to preserve their country
aud their liberty; and, in this Office or
out, | am resolved TO stand By them.
| may add, that in this purpose to
save the country and its liberties no clas-
ses Of people seem so nearly unanimous
as the soldiers IN the field and seameu
adoat. Do they not have the hardest Of
il? Who should quail while they do
not? God bless the soldiers and seamen,
with all their brave commanders %

R~ The politicians who argue that the
interference Of the President with slavery
IS unconstitutional invariably ignore the
alI-important fact that the slave States
are in rebellion. They emphasize the
constitutional limitations of Executive
power in time Ct peace; they omit all
reference to the constitutional extensions
Of power in time Of war. Mr.. Chase. in
bis late speech at CovingtOn, concisely
stated the legal authority the President
possesses on this subject. he said:
The constitution provided for raising
armies, and made tie President Com.

full power 10 take all steps necessary TO
the efectual prosecution OF the war. The
best statesmen in the land have said. and
the proposition has been unchalleuged,
that in ease ot iGsaErec.iou or foreign
war the institution OF slavery must be
subject to such disposal as the national
'intercsts should require. Ia other words,
that with iasurraction in slaveholdinc
State the whole power over slavery must
pass to the National Government. In
my Judgment, when iusurFection gave
The President power over slavery. with
that power came the duty to put an end
10 1t. -Ir.'LIacoln was bound to do that
which was necessary Tor the salvation Of

Il IS plain ;hat We have local i1sur-
roc.i0n, aud national authority to sup
press It. In such case there can be no
such thing as the right OF rebels to local
institutions which, in the opinion Of the
National Government, are dangerous to
It's own cxIStonce.-I1reSs

We just picked UP three Copperheac
papers, and each assures It's pa;Fcns tiai
the democracy" have won glorious vie
tories 10 Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Now each Of the editors of these papers
wrote with fQIl knowledge Of the follow
jag facts:
lst-That Indiana lad just elected
Gov Morton, Union, by over 10000 ma
lority, and Union Congressmen out Of
la loss Of I to the Copperheads.
2d--That the Union men Of Ohio have
just carried the State By over $4,000
majority, elcctiog l6 out of 10 Congress
men-a gain Of II Gu the delegation as
it NOW stands.
3d-That Pennsylvania has just gone
for the Union by majority Of not less
than l5,000on the whole vote, ,eleciing is
of the q Congressmcn-a gain Of / on
the delegation as it now ssaads. Fur
ther, it is now pretty certain that Kotch-
am is elected over Deunisoa in the Lu.
zerne district, and Styouse and Coifroth
are in serious danger Of being laid out
also. This would give US IS of the 24
Congressmen.-a gain of II on the dele

Correct the mistakes.

We desire to call special attention to
the fact that in the Electoral Tickets
circulated by the State Central Commit
tee the name Of G.. Morrison Coates is By
mistake printed C, Morrison Coates FIVE
times in each sheet. Those persons who
have the sheets of tickets in charge, in
the several townships, should at once GO
over each sheet and with pen or pencil
correct the error, which occurs twice in
the third row of ballots from the top Of
the sheet, and three times in the bottom
row.

FORTY MILLIONS 7:30 SUBSCRIBED.
The subscriptions to this popular loan
are now over forty millions dollars, aud
they continue to come in at the rate Of
about a uillion day. The public are
satisfied that there are 10 other invest,
ments so profitable as I. S, securities.
While nearly all the hundreds Of mlscel,
laneous stocks sold in the New York
market have been declining for several
weeks, [in many instances twenty five per
cent Government stocks have remained
firm; and while lenders loan very spar
ingly, and at high rates, on the best mer-
camille paper, they have plenty of money
to lend on Government paper, at as loE
rates as ever While the Government
needs the peoples money, and pays for it
literally, it offers the highest possible
consideration besides, and that is, saf:ty.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN A REPRESENTA-
TIVE Mantle Springfield RepuJ}i-
can prints glowing eulogy upon the life
and course of President Lincoln, from
which We take the following:
People may say what they will of the
President, they cannot possibly put their
hand upon or point to any other man in
the Republic who represents to the peo-
pie, north and south Of Mason's and DIX
on's lire, and to the whole civilized world,
SO much Of the honest loyalty and the
real democratic principle Of the country
as Abraham Lincoln. He stands out
from all the men of bis section and his
time-and not alone By reason Of his Of
fce--as the representative Of the repub-
lican;sm Of the republic, the champion Of
democratic principles, the friend Of the
Union and the Constitution, aud the foe
Of all class privilege and class domination.
Every man, loose from the bondage Of
political ambition, and loose from the
greed of power and the love. Of slavery,
thinks well Of Abraham Lincoln, aud
casts IN his lot with him Thousands of
Democrats, converted to freedom by the
war, have, from the moment Of their con-
version, become his friends. His way of
saving the country is recognized as the
only way. 4 conquered peace Is the
only peace desmed possible"

How 4 CAPTAIN WAS CONVERTED.
At a social gathering night before last
says the Chattanooga Gazette of October
l3, during the cvinIng Capt. Sutherland,
Assistant Adjutant General, formerly Of
Gen. Steedman's staff, captured during
Stoneman's aaid, and recently exchanged
vas present, and toasted, and made q
happy response. We regret that every
soldier in the army, and every patriot in
the land, could net have listened to his
remarks. Captain Sutherland, before his
capture, was well known as q warm and
earnest Mcclellan man. In the remarks
alluded to he mentioned this feet: said
that he had changed base in this parlie.
ular. lie was now for Lincoln, because,
during his imprisonment, his guards at
Charleston, and every rebel be met with
one exception, learned that he was Dem
oerat, electionecred with him for Ne
Clellan. That exception stole an opper-
tunity to whisper In his artbat the South
was only holding out in hopes Of Lincoln's
defeat, and assured him that if Lincoln
was elected the war would instantly end
and uuconditionally cease, as the South
would then see that resistance was no
longer practicable. Captain Sutherland
declares that he never could nor never
would vote for any man at the request Of
armed traitors.
