MCCLELLAN AND fBApE,

Many good men are to be cheated into the
support of Mcclellan and Pcndleton on the
erornl that peace viii be Immediately pro
claimed on the election Of Mcclellan. Let
us look at it moment All accounts agree
that the armies of Grant, Sherman and Sher-
dan have nearly closed the war now and the
rebels are merely held together until after
the November election in the faint hope that
Mcclellan may be elected. What do they
eyfect from such result? That their friends
in the North will force the new Administra-
ton to suspend the war and propose negotia-
ton This, Mcclellan 'gW and can he forced
to do by those who set him up; he willing or
un Wiling. What follows Our armies must
and will be Withdrawn north Of the Potomac
and Ohio rivers, our navy will be withdrawn
from all blockaded ports, we will have lost in
one short hour, by the Presidents Proclama-
ton, all we have gained in the last four years
through the toll and sacrifice Of our army
and navy by land and by sea, at an cxpendi-
ture of 100000, 900. The States will be
called to send delegates to a conference to set
tie on terms of peace and reunion. 1t will
talk for perhaps six months and adjourn ~ith-
ont agreeing, and what comes then? Nc
Clellan says they must accept the Interior
consequences" And what may that be p
War! Take him on his platform and in six
or nine months after he has proclaimed peace,
he will again proclaim war. How will we
stand? Our army disbandea and scattered,
our navy dismantled aud the South in that
time supplied with guns, ammunition, cloth
ing, medicine, ships and everything they now
have not, aud had nat at the commencement
of the rebellion will be better prepared to re-
sist us in gaining what VIC now have aud we
will be less able to regain.
But this is not all, England and France,
both ardentIy desiring the breaking down OF
this country, but afraid heretofore to interfere
openly, will boldly step in to forbid the re-
newal of the war, and we will be in no con
dition~to resist the united efforts of England
France and the rebels of the South and il
our own midst We will then have to Ggh
all four or give up to a dissolution of thu
Union.
= Let Lincoln be reelected and the remnan
of the power Of the South is broken withou
another greut battle, by the deserions iron
their armies, Richmond will fall an easy pre-
into the hands of Grant SO soon as the ballot
box shall announce the election of Linco
:. and johnson, and by the 4th of March, til
. negotiation will be closed, peace restored an
the Union preserved as well as the honor an
power of the milton.
But let Mcclellan be elected and in a
probability his copperhead friends will hav
> established here in the North second rebel
lion before the first of January, to compel til
present administration TO stop the war. Wha
then will we make by the election Of McCle
Ian? Peace wW soonest be established Ly III
reelection Of Lincoln.

Gen. Sheridan has again been guilty of a
most unwarrantable interference with political
affairs No longer ago than Wednesday, the
18th inst, he broke up and dispersed large
Democratic, Peace" meeting neat Winches-
ter, making the third of the same kind he
has scattered within n month. Not content
with driving OF the 10 Peace" men, he went
so far as to seize their banners, and even the
cannon with which they we're firing salutes in
honor of their candidate for the Presidency.
Indeed our Peace friends are hardly getting
fair show in the campaign SO far. 1t is not
two months since they promulgated their
platform and announced their candidates, and
since that time Sheridan, Sherman, Grant,
Butler, Farragut and Rosecrans a. the head
of large armies have been elcctioncering
against thcm. with great success We have
just heard of Rosecrans' operations in Mis-
souri, where he has been serving the McClel-
Ian party under Gen. Price in the Same wav
Sheridan is doing in Virginia If all we
hear be true, then between this and the sth
of November grand combined operation of
all the armies of the United States together
with the Navy. will eclipse all that has yet
been done, and make certain, il any doubt

1t is rumored that Gen. Sheridan's unmil.
itary conduct in the Shenandoah Valley, hos
given great offence to the friends aud parti-
sans of the Young Napoleon. 1t is well
known that General Mcclellan never exposed
his person in the battles fought under his
command by the army Of the Potomac. No
really great General ever does, for if he should
be hit, what would become of the army :?
Gen. Sheridan, on the contrary, pitches in
whenever he smells powder burning. We
understand that he has been severely rebuked
by the Commander-in -C Chief for this breach
of military etiquette, and the proper author
tiles are now engaged in preparing gunboal
TO be anchored in the Shenandoah River, on
board of which Gen. Sheridan is ordered tc
repair without delay previous to the com.

THE STATE TICKET.

The nominations of the Union State Con
vention, for Governor, Lieut.. Governor, At
torney General and Comptroller, are now be
fore the people With the exception of Mr.
Swami, all the candidates are strangers to thu
people of Western Maryland, but they all en-
joy an cnviabe reputation wherever they arr
knopn There is no doubt that the people
of Allegany preferred Gen. Goldsborough fol
Governor to any other candidate that hat
been named. Regarding him as an original
uncompromising, unconditional Unonst ant
Emancipationist; and mindful of the sigma
triumph won by their party in 1868 under
vices he had rendered to the cause, should be
recognized by his nomination to the highest
Office in the gift of the people. But his name
was promptly withdrawn, when brought be-
fore the Convention, by a delegate from his
own county; for reasons, the force of which
we cannot gansay.
Mr.. Swami is well known and highly ap-
preciated in Western Maryland. As Pres-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for
several years, he so administered the affairs
of that great Corporation, as to win the admi-
ration and respect of all classes of the commu :
nifty. The evidence which he has given in
that position of the possession of rare admin
istrative and executive powers; is a sufficient
guaranty that he will discharge the duties Of
Governor with distinguished ability.
DIR. Cox, of Talbot County, our candidate
for Lieut.. Governor, is a gentleman of high
character and standing, and, we believe, of
wide political experience. lie is now attached
to the Medical Department of the U. S. Army,
and is stationed in Baltimore. His record as
Unionist and Emancipationist is irreproach-
able, and he will fulfill the duties of his office
with fidelity and ability.
Mr.. Randall, of Annapolis, is the candi-
date for Attorney General. lie enjoys dis
tmguished reputation as lawyer and gen
tleman, and will fill the important position for
which he is named with signal ability and
distinction. Mr.. Randall has always been a
Union man, and though we do not remember
to have heard of his being prominently con-
nected with the Emancipation movement; we
take it for granted that he heartily and cor
daily favors and supports the new Constitu-
ton. fhe accepts the no nomination, he will
most certainly be bound to do SO.
We will not pretend to disguise the fact
that our choice for this most important posi-
ton, (pecularly SO for the next four years,
was MFR. Stirling of Baltimore. This gentle
man is SO thoroughly identified with the new
Constitution, his hand SO prominent in franz
ing it. bis voice SO eloquent in defending it,
that there would have been singular appro- |
priateness in clecting him its first legal cx-
pounder. But the Convention thought other
wise, and we are bound to defer to it's better
Judgment. s.

VIGILANCE" %.
Never was this motto more fully exempli-
fed, than in the recent canvass for our New
Constitution The friends of that instrument
unquas,lonably large majority of the legal
voters of the State, came very near losing 1t,
by simple neglect. In all those counties
where the strength of the Free State party
lirs their majorties are either much reduced
or entirely wiped out for no other reason,
than because our friends there seemed to
think that no effort was necessary to main
tain their old supremacy. Their want of vig-
lance is painfully shown in the fact that the
heavy vote against the Constitution, was to-
tally unexpected and unlocked for. A COM
pact and powerful party had been organized
and disciplined in their very nidst whilst
even its existence was unknown to those who
shcald have watched for its rise, and combat
ted its progress. The vote on the 18th and
18th agaias. the Constitution is therefore q
surprise, and as in actual warfare, the party
which permits itself to be surprised always
gets the worst of it, even if it is not abso-
lutely destroyed, so we, who confidently cal
culated upon II, goo to Il, 900 majority, are
now only too glad to save the Constitution by
few hundreds. What the thousands we ex
pected for our majority, Notwithstanding
the heavy vote of the 'disloyal" counties
could have been realized had we been alive
to the immense Importance of the issues in
yolved, and erected ourselves corrcspondiugly
no one doubts. The enemy is now unmasked,
We have felt his strength and seen his posi-
ton. We also know the source of our own
weakness. They are to be found in that APP
athy which results from an ovcrweening con.
fdence in our own strength If we shall
rightly learn the lesson taught us by the late
election. it will do us incalculablc good. We
shall arouse ourselves for the contest which
yet remains to complete the victory Of oul
principles. We shall spare no efforts to bring
to the polls on the Sth of November every
Union voter in the State. Every man in ON
ranks will constitute himself " committee o
one" to do this work. Relying wholly upol
ourselves, and not upon presumed majofitie
in this or that county or city: and still les
upon the apathy or Indifference of our oppo
ncnts, we shall march to the ballot-box il
solid phalanx and carry our State Ticket, an
the Lincoln Electors, by such majorities a
elected Goldsforoughin 1868, and called til
Convention in 1864.
We can do this, and more, if We try. TIL

VOTE DELIBERATELY,

The vote of each individual 10 be cast On
the 9Th Of November, is fraught with veal or
woe to the liberties of our country, and 70 the
best interests Of mankind. Let us act wisely
and considerably then, and cast cur totes
for the candidates who are in favor of main
tanning the government and putting down a
most wicked rebellion against the best gov
crnmeEt ever devised by the wisdom of wise
and good men. This government has been
our boast and pride for eighty years, and
still, amidst all the assaults against it, whether
of intrigue from abroad. or treason and rebel
lion at home, commands the respect and admi-
ration of the civilized world We must, at
the coming election, acquit ourselves worthily
and like men, who know the value of the gov
eminent, and who are determined to maintain
it in ali its Integrity, throughout the whole
limits of the country. five do so we will be
the greatest and most influential people on
the face of the globe; if we throw away OF
neglect our high privilege, we deserve to be,
what we would assuredly become, nation Of
poltroons and drones who, will merit and re-
ceve nothing but the contempt and insults Of
the new negro oligarchy on the continent, and
the taunts and derision of the kingly govern
ments of Europe. Let us examine our tickets
and see that they are right, and deposite them
in the hands of the judges, and commit our
destiny as nation, to the keeping of the just

Courts in Baltimore for a mandamus to COM
pei Gov. Bradford to throw out the soldiers

with encouraging success from Judge Martin,
and goes to the Court of Appeals. We think
he will fare no better there, and we do not
believe the Governor will trouble himself
much about it, while as is his sworn duty:
he will firmly carry ont the behest of the
sovereign people represented in Constitu-
tional Convention, and impartiafly count
