"Onee More unto the Breach, Dear
Friends, Once M0re."
The loyal men Of Indiana achieved
triumph at the October election which
sent thrill of JOY to every patriotic
heart throughout the length and breadth
OF the land In the Eastern States the
friends Of the Government had become
despondent, and were disposed to con-
cede Indiana to the bogus Democracy by
a majority Of from $4,000 10 10000
They forgot the glorious record made by
Indiana boys upon a hundred battle
fields. They forgot that our people had
contributed more literally to the SAM
tary Enterprise than any others in the
loyal States, in proportion TO their popu-
lation and wealth They could not CON
eeive that the same spirit which ANNA
ted our boys "a battle inspired the
hearts OF their friends at home
They seem to have been unable to com
prehend The great fact that the people Of
the noble old Hoosier State would vote
as they fght--against the rebellion.
How gloriersly their lorebodings have
been dispeIled The election in Indiana
is worth over 100000 votes to the Union
cause in the great States Of New York,
Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Il secures,
beyond peradventure, the election Of
Lincoln and johnson. It secures, We
feel confident, two-thirds Of the next
Congress. Il secures an amendment
TO the Constitution forever abolishing
slavery and involuntary servisude, ex-
cept for punishment of crime, within the
limits Of our glorious Union. Wherever
floats the flag there shall free men dwell
The touch of our soil will strike the
shacklss from the oppressed and down
trodden Of all nations Our glorious
flag Of liberty shall be extended to
the ends Of the earth, and an invitation
given to all men, Come We and par.
take freely Of the blessings bequeathed
us by glorious ancestry, and preserved
by the patriotism and courage of their
worthy descendants.
But, while such isthe magnificent work
accomplished on Tuesday last, our task
is not fully done While the election OIL
Lincoln and johnson has been secured
much may be done towards swelling
their majoriIies to figures unprecedented
in the history Of the Republic While
we may have secured two..hirds ma
jority in Congress, we want the Union
members thereof backed up by public
opinion almost unanimous We want
the nations Of Enrope and the whole
world TO understand that the people oil
the loyal States are in earnest We
want the people Of the rebelIious States
to comprehend that but one purpose ami
mates the people of the North-the com
plete and early overthrow of the rebel
lion and the prompt punishment of iti
authors and instigators. We want thsm
to know that so soon as they ground
their weapons of unequal warfare and
return to their allegiance, thare viii be
peace, but not before.
We hope, therefore, that the Union
men of vsnderhurgh county will not be
come so elated over their great victory
as to cease their Efforts for yet greater
triumph. The ranks of our opponents
have been broken aud are falling
back, but in tOlerable good order 1t il
our duty to convert their retreat into I
rout. Their party must be crushed
so completely that it will 60 the way o
all political organizations that refused
to stand by the country in time of war
We must not play Mcclellan at Ante
tam and permit beaten foe to escape
Rather let US initiate glorious Phil Sheri
dan and push on our columns at once.
Union men of marlborough We hav
three weeks of work before US. In tina
time our organization may be greatl
strengthened. We may add largely t
our number. We carried the county b
800 for Morton. We ought to carry
By 500 for Lincoln and johnson. Tn
fraud at the Lamasco precinct viii no
be repeated in November. Instead Q
being beaten there 30 votes, as reportet
st the last election, We will carry it b
$50. So with German and Armstroni
D townships. Therefore, we say our ms
: iority for Honest Old Abe and johnson
!, toe" must reach 500. Shall We not
Il it? 1t can only be done by hard worl
