The NEW YoRK WORLD, journal of the
Copperhead stripe, says that at the election
in this State, the ballots OF the abolition
party were distinguished by different col
or, and persons offering to vote any other
were kept away from the polls by force."--
The Copperheads at the last election cast
so few votes that it would be hard to tell
what their color was, having withdrawn
their candidate Tinder-Box Brown, on the
eve of the election, because they we're re-
quired to take an oath to support the gov
ernment in its efforts to put down the re .
bellion. Knowing that they could not do
it, without committing perjury, they with
drew from the contest. In 1862, the only
difference was that the Union men had the
American flag on their tickets. We pre-
sumo the Copperheads would have had
an emblem also, but there was no type foun-
der in this section of country, disloyal
enough to get up a cut Of the rebel rag. AT
the last election, it is true they were kept
from the polls by "force," the "force o.
circumstances being afraid to confront
honest men, and subscribe to an oath, which
they knew they had daily violated by
thought and deed.

EVERY TRUE DELAwAREAN has just cause
to be proud of the noble, manly and patriotic
course pursued by our talented and able
Representative in Congress, Hon. NATHAN
TEL B. SMITHERs. While other Representa-
tives from Border slave States are vascilla-
ting and unsound on the vital question of
the hour-the extinction of slavery-he
stands boldly up to the work, and never fails
either by word or vote, to give his influence
in favor OF all measures which are brought
forward for the suppression of the rebellion.
A few days since Representative from
Kentucky, who was elected as an avowed
friend of the Union, opposed the bill in re-
lation to the enlistment of slaves ofloyal mas.
d fitting rebuke. We would rejoice if all
the Representatives from the Border States
protesting to be Union men had half the
honesty Of purpose and sincerity of heart
that Mr. Smithers has, but it IS too true that
some still cling to the "relic OF barbarism, >
although they cannot help but know that its
end is at hand, and that its destruction is
necessary to the perpetuity Of liberty and
Union. Such half-hearted Union men do
more harm than good, and should take their
places in the Copperhead ranks at once
We want no neutrals or conservatives in O
crisis like this, and he who will not come
out boldly--lke Mr. Smithers-and strike
a blow at every thing which in any manner
tends TO strengthen the rebellion is unwor-
thy of the protection of our governments
and unfit to enjoy its blessings. No slave
owner, therefore, who is truly loyal, would
, for moment interpose an obstacle to his
slave enlisting iu the armies Of the Repub
, lie, and the man that does is traitor a
heart and his professions Of love for th
: Union and the old flag are hollow-hearte,
. and insincere.

THE CHARGE is preferred by the Copper
head press that the present Administration
is not prosecuting the war with vigor that
will insure its speedy termination. If these
editors would stop finding fault and urge
men 10 enlist instead of encouraging them
10 resistance TO the laws,-thereby giving
aid aud comfort to the enemy-it would not
be long before we would have an army in
the field which would completely overwhelm
the traitorous minions of JEFF. Davis, and
crush out the last Vestige of the rebellion,
But SO long as the Copperheads seek to
divide the people Of the North. and throw
ire-brands into the councils of the nation,
they are prolonging the war, and are respop-
sible for the blood Of its victims.

possession of the popular heart, and will be
overwhelmingly reelected, and they appear
extremely anxious to get rid of him as n
competitor in the race. There is no use of
fretting over the matter, Messrs. Copper

treason and rebellion, shall guide the ship OF

well submit to the decree with u good grace.

Queen Vict0ria's Abdication.

An important statement is being
circulated to the effect that Queen Vic.
toria is being urged to abdicate the
throne of England, Lord Palmerston
taking strong grounds in favor of the
step. 1t is said that in the discussion
of the Danish-Prussian question she
has exhibited unmistakable evidence
of mental alteration which has bro't
about this determination on the part
of the Prime Minister and other men,
bers of the Cabinet Council. The
fact that. instead of joining his moth
er at Osborne, the Prince of Wales
has gone with his princess to st. Leon
ards, is interpreted as an indication
that Edward VII. is preparing te
mount the throne, and to inauguratt
a new foreign policy in the affairs o.
Great Britain.
The Commercial Adrertipr in referring
to this matter says that it is certain
that the present attitude of the Eng
lish Government cannot long be main
tanned. if England is to keep her
place as q Power of the first rank,
and if the abdication of Victoria is a
necessary preliminary to vigorous
and honorable action on tho part Of
Great Britain. that abdication is likely
to be insisted on and accomplished
with no unnecessary delay.
