A LAST WORD.

AS this rs the last opportunity we
shall have ofaddressing our readers be-
fore they shall have acted their part in
the great work Of Tuesday next, as a
LAST WORD we would say to them
that their duty is plain one. If they
want their country restored to what
it was designed to be by its framers-
if they want to transmit the free in
stitutions, and their national lib critics,
to their posterity in the same condi-
ton they themselves have enjoyed
them, they must cast their votes for
GEORGE B, MCCLELLAN. Moth.
ing short of his election will save all
that true patriots value in the gov.
ernment of human affairs.
1t is clearly within the reach of the
Democrats and Conservative mon OF
the State and Union TO ELECT
HIM. But THEY MUST VOTE
and not only VOTE, but they must
also WORK, If they do, all will be
well. That there will be no faltering
in any part of Clearfeld county, we
are well aware; and that this is the
case throughout the entire length and
breadth of the State and nation, we
have every reason to believe. TIC
WORK and to VOTE, then, should
be the watchword of every man who
desires an HONORABLE PEACE
and a RESTORED UNION.

The November Election

The result of the elections in Pennsyl-
vania. Ohio an Indiana, as well a, the re-
cent town vote in Connecticut settles the
question that the political tide is running
heavily against the Administration.
All the gain is on the side of the Demo
cratic party, and now that the current has
fairly set in, it will move with acc .eratcd
force until the November vote is taken. -
The present is good time. therefore, to
present some estimates OF the probable re-
suit in the several States when the Presi-
dental vote is taken.
The whole number of votes in the elec-
toral college mot counting Tennessee or
Louisiano) is now two hundred and thirty
one, Of which one hundred and sixteen
are required to give clear majority and
elect President. Now, can Gen. Nc
'Clelan secure one hundred and sixteen
votes? We think-nay, we are sure, he
can and will and we give the following
estimates as the basis of the faith that is
in us:

All appropriations, pure and simple,
for the support and efficiency of the army

was only when they were connected with
other and improper appropriations when
by reason of their popularity, they were
loaded down with fraudulent items for

The Last Outrage.

On the 18th October the people of Ma
ryland voted on the question of the adop-
ton or rejection OF new Constitution
submitted by Conyention in which the
Abolitionists had a majority. The people
of the State defeated the new Constitu-
ton by a majority Of about 1000. A vote
was taken among the Maryland soldiers
in the Federal Army, which overbalanced
this, and gave a majority Of about 200 in
favor Of the New Constitution.
The old Constitution made no provision
for soldiers voting out of the State. The
new one did. Of course the new Consti-
tuition was not in force before it was adopt
cd, and it could not be adopted until after
the day Of the election.
Nothing can be palmer than this yet
the Administration insists that the SOL
diels' vote shall be counted, and that the
Constitution is, by their votes, adopted ;
and even Mr.. Lincoln has publicly con-
graduated his Abolition friends of Mary.
