THAT TICKET.

Further election returns indicate the mon
grel ticket to be worse affair than we last
week supposed. An examination shows that
Thacher has been beaten at home four hundred
votes; ingalls, majority in his county is cut
down three or four hundred from what it was
two years ago; Saunders own county goes one
hundred and thirty-six against him. and his
own precinct twelve; McClures county goes
against him by eight majority, and his pre-
cinct fourteen. There is but one candidate on
that ticket who ran ahead of his party vote in
his own county. On our ticket Clarke. Nc
Grew, Barker, Brumbaugh, and Spriggs, eph
run ahead Of their party vote in their own
county. The main object in forming the ticket
of the 18th was to bring out strong men. Bully!
Then look what fattering endorsements their
newspapers get. The Leavenworth Times and
the Mound City Sentinel are the only Fraud
papers which have a home endorsement, and
the Wyandott Gazette is the only paper on our
side which has not. The Chief and Investiga-
tor Of Doniphan are whipped on their State
ticket-all whipped out at home; while the
papers on our side are all sustained at home.
Bully for the pimps! Will somebody furnish
that list of editors supported "only" by ap-
pointments from Jim. Lane?

have led Us to fight these devilish rum sellers
with all the malignity their very hellishness
could excite in tee-totaler. As statistical JUS
tifieation Of our course, we will state that they
have been reduced from eight to three, and the
sentiment of the community changed, 20 that
now rum selling is not the predominant feeling.
We have to regret that We cannot continue
hesping our abuse upon them until the other
three are dead. What we didn't shame out we
starved out. We acted upon the conjecture that
there was no good ground upon which to SOW
good seed, and it has proven correct.
On questions affecting our local interests, the
UNION has always been watchful, and persistent
in its advocacy of the claims of our section. We
think all political opponents will admit this.
No measure Of importance to our local affairs has
passed by unnoticed, and our columns have
always been open to the views and suggestions
of friends.
As stated in our issue of September Oath, the
paper has been transferred to other hands. The
purchasers, Messrs DUNLAP AND RUSSELL. will
take charge, and commence Volume Four with
out any interruption Of its regular issue. We
cheerfully recommend them as thorough printers,
with the experience and ability sufficient to fur
nish you first class, readable paper.
We retire, because, printer-like. we desire q
change. In reviewing the record we have made
for ourselves, We find nothing but that We are
now willing to defend and uphold. We have
been unrelentingly bitter, but it is our style.
Thanking the many firm and liberal supporters
of the UNION and the editorial fraternity of the
State for their kindness and courtesy. forgiving
as We hope to be forgiven for all harshness in
controversy, and wishing our successors smooth
and prosperous voyage over the troubled sea Of
newspaper life, we bid ADIEu!

Commercial Troubles Abroad.

An extraordinary financial panic is raging
in Liverpool, London, Leeds, Rio Janiero,
Austria and France-and it is fact worth
rever,ing to that wherever the rami6ca,ions
of English trade or Southern intrigues have
extended, this commercial crisis scatters
ruin. The North American says blockade
running is responsible for these continued
failures. Speculations have caused many
more. The English capitalists foolishly
undertook to bear the burden Of rebel
finance, and they have drawn in their train
France, Austria, Brazil, and strangely
enough, Australia. 1t is English misman-
sgement that has produced the crash and
ruin. The failures in Rio alone reach lifty-
FIVE millions Of dollars.
On the other hand. al the countries
which have sympathised with the United
States Government aud people in this vsr.
stand unshaken. Russia, Sweden, Prussia,
Italy, and the minor Powers Of Germany,
iod their finances unaffected BY the rude
blasts sweeping from the British Isle.
There is lesson in this which the reader
will perceive.

PROCLAMATION! /!
STATE OF KANSAS,


EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
The year now drawing to a close has been
one OF great prosperity to the people of this
State. We have to ejoice over sufficient har-
vests, literally rewarded industry, the decrease
of crime, and the general peace and quiet of
society.
In the midst of gigantic war, which is tax
ing the energies and resources of the country,
we have steadily progressed in wealth and
The consumer and the producer have shared
the blessings derived from the increased ac-
tivity of trade and commerce.
Our educational interests have been fostered
and developed. Schools have been established,
churches erected, and the means Of mental and
moral culture literally difused.
The State has been measurably free from
the devastation Of rebel enemies The cloud
Of invasion which lately hung over our border
has been dispelled, and the tide which threat
ened to overrun our soil, and perhaps engulf
our institutions, has been turned far beyond
our limits.
10 avert this great disaster the mass of the
people gallantly sprang to arms, hurled back
the foe, and by their vigilance and heroism,
illustrated the impossibility of subverting in
stitutiOns defended by the enlightened valor of
free and united people.
The Union armies have gone s'from conquer
ing 10 conquer. Great victories have been
gained on land and sea, from the effects of
which the rebellion has been shaken to its
foundation, and q restored Union rendered
certain.
The country has been true to itself The
will of the people has been potentially express
ed in favor Of the perpetuation of the Govern
ment, and the prosecution of the war until the
rebellion is utterly subdued, and Freedom
everywhere established.
These, with numberless other blessings vouch-
safed to us by Divine Providence, are subjects
Of special thanksgiving.
Now, therefore, in accordance with the proc
lamation of the President of the United States
and atime-bonored custom. Thomas Carney,
Governor Of the State of Kansas, do designate |
ai Thursday, the 9th Instant
As day Of Thanksgiving and Prayer to AL
mighty God.
Suspending all regular pursuits on that day, |
let us assemble in our several places of wor-
ship, and humbly thank the Father of all for |
His mercies in the past, and implore His guild
ance and protection for the future.
In testimony whereof have hereunto set !
my hand and caused the great seal of State to
be affixed, at Topeka, this l4th day Of Novem-
Der, 1864. By the Governor.

1t seems to be daily becoming more pro.
bsble that the South will raise an army of
slaves, and will try next campaign to do
with 100000 blacks, what million of
whites have failed to do-establish the
independence of the Confederacy. This
will at once carry the war into new phase,
and present it to US in an entirely novel
light.
If there were any other acknowledgment
of the failure of the rebellion needed, it
would be found in this. In putting 30O,.
600 slaves under arms, the South says, 10
plain terms, We rose for the preservation
and perpetuation Of slave society !; We give
that up; you have emancipated most of
our slaves; We emancipste the rest oar.
selves. The end which We now propose to
ourselves is simply and singly Southern
independence
What the South is now fighting for,
therefore, is the establishment Of the Con-
federacy not as slave society, but as free
one in other words, to detach half this
continent from the jurisdiction Of the Uni.
ted States Government without reference
to the form Of political or social organisa-
tion which is to exist on it afterward, and
as its white population has been too much
weakened to effect this object, it proposes
to accomplish it by the aid of an army of
negroes, dragged against their will from, the
plantation to the field Of battle. To this
complexion it has come at last.
What the North has now between il and
peace is an army Of negro slaves, bought
like cattle for service, and lighting under
tho lash. We think this news ought to
secd thrill of joy through the whole coun-
Try. After having done and dared so much.
'fter having met and frustrated most des-
9erate attempt made by one Of the most
varlike races in the world, to found slave
empire on our soil, We are hardly likely to
ay down our arms, now that the integrity
f the Union is threatened BY IN army Of
'urchssed blacks. What the masters have
sied In vain the slsves shall certainly not
1--WE have despised Catalipe's
word; We shall certainly not quail before

Eruzgle would mock ~ from their graves.

FORT RILEY.

ITO the Vlctors belong the spoils," is an AK
iom which has had ruling influence in the
politics of this country; and none have stuck to
the rule closer than have the Democracy. We
remember when the Old Keystone was numbered
with her cumbersome Main Line, man couldn't
be o switch tender or a mule whacker unless he
voted the Democratic ticket. Were we disposed,
precedent justi6es Us in demanding that not
even q bull-whacker be permitted to be around
Fort Riley unless he vote the Black Republican
ticket. But we do not desire such thing, nor
are we prepared to justify such ruling. For
four years that Abraham Lincoln and the Repub-
lican party have ruled. the Republican party of
Davis county have had to contend against the
whole power and patronage of that Post. The
thing has fought us so persistently that we think
it is time it was knocked in the head. Notorious
Copperheads have been growing fat on clerk
ships. and other positions. while loyal men have
had to stand back. Clean it out for radical

A RESULT OF FUSION.

The Republican gains in the recent elections
give assurance that at the coming session Of
Congress. the Amendment to the Constitution Of
the United States. forever prohibiting Slavery.
will pass that body. 1t is then required to be
submitted to the Legislatures of the various
States for their ratification. Next to the election
ofa United States Senator, the most important
duty Of the next Legislature will probably be
the giving of the confirmation of Kansas to that
great and important measure.
The adoption of such an Amendment more
than accomplishes the mission of the Republican
party. But no loyalist cannot but rejoice that
events have led to this final disposal of that
great bane Of the Republic. Kansas has always
stood in the lead of the anti slavery sentiment
Her people are overwhelmingly So We doubt
whether there are more than two or three con-
stituencies in the State who would send to the
lower house ofthe Legislature vote against this
proposed Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States. and We know one cannot be sent
to the Senate.
that the number of votes against the proposed
Amendment has been largely increased by the
Infamous coalition of Republicans and Copper
heads. Where Right fuses with Wrong, Wrong
is invariably the gamer, and thus results this
late unnatural alliance. The Republicans have
gained nothing more than they otherwise would,
while the Copperheads have secured the power
to make respectable opposition to the grandest
measure that has yet come before the American
people. "By their fruits ye shall know them;
and anti-slavery men can judge of the anti
slaveryism Of S. o. Tbacher, and his like.
