canvass; they will be furnished gratui-
tously, on the sole condition that they
are faithfully used. Let speakers in ev.
cry town and every district address the
judgment and the patriotic sentiment
of the people, and rally them to the sup
port and defence of our principles and
candidates. Let full and prompt pro-
vision be made, in advance, for bringing
voters to the polls, for preventing frauds,
and for securing, in this sharp crisis of
the country's fate, the vote of every cit

Let special caro- be taken to secure
for every Soldier, and for every Sailor,
who is lighting in the field or on the sea
in defence of the country and its flag,
the exercise of his right to vote. IF any
mans right of suffrage is sacred it is his.
See to it that he is not deprived of it by
negligence, or cheated in its exercise by
fraud. Send agents to the army to Sc
cure it for him. Where the action of
hostile Legislatures has refused him the
right to vote in the field, procure for
him a furlough, if militsry necessity
will allow, that he may vote at home.
FELLOW CITIZENS: But one month

loyal State can be secured for the repre-

what hoist the white flag when our triumph is nigh
whatl crouch before Troason1 make Freedom liei
What spike all our guns when the foe is at bay
And the rags Of his black banner dropping awayf
Tear down the strong name that our nation has won,
And strike her brave bird from his homo in the sun
Hosa coward who shrlnks from tho lif Of tho sword
He's traitor who mocks at tho sacrifice poured
Nameless and homeless the doom that should blast
The knayo who stands idly I'LL pers are past
And he who submits when the thunders have burst
And victory dawns, is Of towards tho worst
Is the old spirit dead1 Are we broken and weak,
That cravens so burmlessly lin the white check
To court the swim insult, nor blush at the blow,
The tools Of the Treason and friends Of the foe
seel Anarchy smiles at the Peace which they ask,
And the eyes of Disunion fash out through tho mask
Give thanks, ye brave boys, who by vale and by crag
Bear onward unfaltering our noble old flag,
Strong arms Of the Union, heroes living aud dead,
For the blood Of your vaor is uselcssly shSdl
Nosoldier's green laurel Is promised you here,
But the white rag Of "symputhy" softly shall ceer
And you ye martyrs, who preach from your grave
How eaptives are nursed by the masters Of slaves,
Or living, still ingcr in shadows Of Death
Puff out the starved MUSCLE recall the faint breath,
And shout, till those towards rejoice at the cry:
'By the hands Of the Union fought for, we die I"
BY the God of our Fathers this shame we must shar
But II grows too debasing for freemen to bear,
And Washington, Jackson, will turn In their graves,
when the Union shall rect on two races of slaves;
Or, spurnng the spirit which bound 1t Of yore
And sundered, exist a nation no more

Speech by the President.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l9.-The Presi..
dent was serenaded tonight, and made
a speech congratulating the audience Of
Marylnnders on the adoption of the new
Constitution of Maryland. The follow
ing is the Presidents speech:
am notified this is q compliment
paid me by local Marylanders resident
in this District. l infer that the adop-
ton of the new Constitution for the
State furnishes the occasion, and that
in your view the extirpation of slavery
constitutes the chief merit of the new
Constitution. Most heartily do con-
gratulate you, Maryland, the nation and
the world upon the event. Iregret that
it did not occur two years sooner, which
am sure would have saved to the ma =
ton more moHey, and that would have
met all the private loss incident to the
measure. But it has come at last. and
sincerely hope its friends may fully
realize all their anticipations of good
from it, and that its opponents may by
its effects be agreeably and proftably
disappointed.
A word upon another subject. Some
thing said by the Secretary of State, in
his recent speech at Auburn, has been
construed by some into a threat that if
shall be beaten at the election will.
between then and the end of my cousti-
tu'ional term, do what l may be able to
ruin the Government. Others regard
the fact that the Chicago Convention
adjourned not sine die, but to meet again
IT called to do so by particular individu
ais, as an intimution of a purpose that
if its nominee shall be elected he will at
once seize control Of the Governmc cnt.
hope the good people will permit them
selves to suffer no uneasiness on either
point. am struggling to maintain the
Government, not to overthrow it.
therefore say that if shall live I shall
remain President until the 4th of next
March, and that whoever shall be con-
stitutionally elected therefor in Novem-
Der, shall be duly installed as President
on the 4th of March, and that in the in
terval shall do my utmost that whoever
is to hold the helm for the next VOYAGE
shall stand the best possible chance to
save the ship. This is due to the peo,
pie both on principle and under the
Constitution. Their constitutioually
expressed will is the Ultimate law for all
If they should deliberately resolve to
have immediate peace, even at the loss
OF their country and liberties, I know
not the power or right to resist them.
1t is their own business, and they must
do as they please with their own. I
believe, however, they are still resolved
to preserve their country and their lib
erty, and in this Office or out of it, lam
resolved to stand by them. l may add
that in this purpose to save the country
and its liberties no class of people seem
so nearly unanimous as the soldiers in
the field and seamen aAoat. Do they
not have the hardest of it Who should
quail, when they do not God bless
the soldiers and seamen and all their
brave commanders.

Total electoral votes.

Leaving out Tennessee, Louisiana and
other States, about the admission Of
whose votes, if offered, there would be
disputes, the whole number Of votes in
the electoral college is 226 A MAORI
ty-114-will elect. Above are 120
which every man in the nation, of it,
telligence enough to be out of an idiot
ic asylum, now kno0S to be as sure os
anything in the future can be, to be
cast for Mr.. Lincoln.
Admit then the claim of over sanguine
Democrats, that Pennsylvania, with the
soldiers vote, can still be carried for
Mcclellan in November; admit (what is
unreasonable, and, in view of facts well
known here, preposterous) that Penn
sylvania will influence New York far
enough to make her vote doubtful; ad-
NIT that the closeness of the late cleo
ton in Maryland secures her vote for
Mcclellan, which is equally absurd; ad-
nit that Delaware and Missouri will
FOLLOW Maryland in the same course,
and give them New Jersey and Ken
tucky, and Gen. McClelan's election is
still impossible.
In point of fact, New York is as GER
tain to vote for Mr.. Lincoln as Ohio
is; Pennsylvania is almost equally SC
cure, and of the other States left out
of the above absolutely safe" list, there
are not more than two in which Nc
Clellan has the ghost of chance. And
the tide is only just beginning to rise,
wait till November for its food.

Self Creating Power of Money.

GA penny at five. per cent, simple in
terest, for eighteen hundred years,
amounts to seven shiIlincs and seve
pence half a penny, but at compound
interest it would be larger sum tha n
could be contained in six hundred mil .
lions of globes, each equal to the earth
in magnitude, and all of solid gold"
In these few lines is the secret of the
immense wealth of the Roth chill Is the
Girards, and the Astors. As Mr.. Astor
once said, the only difficulty in beccm
ing rich is that of getting the first few
thousand dollars to begin with. Ignor.
ance of this wonderful power in money
to reproduce itself is a chief cause Of
the poverty of the poor. In most of
the countries of the old world the great
bulk of the population need all their
earnings for the support of their fami-
lies. But there is hardly a man in the
Union who is industrious that cannot,
If he will make a handsome provision
for old age; iu other words, it is almost
always a mans own fault if he does not
lay up in the course of a few years
enough for every reasonable want of an
early old age. The only secret is to let
your savings, however small, accumulate.

Peace for Whom P

Oh how the Democracy was on the
rampage in the Mexican war. Then it
picked its teeth with swords, and de-
clared itself hungrily Gin favor of the
next war, and of all wars" 1t was but
a war dog, set on by its ter, the
South, to worry and throttle weak ma
tion, and compel it to surrender terri
tory needed for the expansion of slavery.
The Democracy now whines for peace.
Peace for whom Not the North. for
the North does not want peace without
Union. Not for itself-the aucicnt
Mexican war dog--for it swears it won't
60 to war, and will kill the "satraps"
that attempt to draft it into the army.
For whom is the Democracy crying for
peace ? For the rebels with arms in
their hands-for rebels determined not
to submit-for rebels openly endeavor-
ing to overwhelm the Union sentiment
in the North with the votes of a party
that has been subservient to the South
since the formation of the Government.
1t is monstrous | For the first time in
the history of the world have the suf
frages of the people been sought for a
purpose manifestly and purely treason
able, and for the frst time in the history
of the world, mas a party been based on
the idea and rightfulness aud policy of
destroying ones country. A Rebellion
in its last gasp whispers to the Democ
racy, 1--WE can fight no longer-procure
us peace OF Ss die | And the subser.
Went and confederate Democracy con-
vene at Chicago, and nominate for the
Presidency a General who never would
Fight, upon a platform which demands
an immediate cessation of hostilities.
