SPLENDID ACHIEVEMENTS"

Although Gov. Bigler falls far short of
an election, yet the ciicto,y we have gained
in the District is none the less decisive and
gratifying. '-C7eaUield Republican.
Alas poor Bigler. If this is not adding
insult to injury, we do not know what is. Of
course, his election would have been none
the more 'gratifying!" This evident desire
that he should not be elected, accounts, per-
haps, for his running behind the county
ticket, which, no doubt, is also profusely
gratifying. Such victories are indeed,
wonderfully decisive As they are so ex-
ceedingly gratifying to the Cops, we will
furnish them one of the same character. on
ly of proportionately greater magnitude, on
the Sth of November.

official reports of Sherman's great victory
at Ship Gap, on the 10th. Could there be
lying more unblushing and barefaced?
The last item of News" published by
the Republican, is as follows
Missouri is completely overrun with the
Confederate forces under Gen, Price. who
was, at last dates. In a fair way to capture
the State Capital, intending to place the
State IN the hands OF the Lieut.. Governor
elected two years ago along with Gov. Jack
son, who has since died.
How the editor of the Republican became
acquainted with the intention of the Reb-
eI General Price 10 place the State in the
hands Of the Lieut.. Governor whether
through the underground telegraph of the
Sons of Liberty or othe.Yise-he does not
inform his readers. But if his source Of
information is the same through which he
gets his news, it is not very reliable, for
the fact is that Price, at the latest accounts
before the issue of the Republican, was
moving on Lexington, about one hundred
miles distantfrom the State Capital There
is about as much prospect of his putting
the State Government into the hands Of his
Lieut.. Governor, as there is of the Copper
heads putting the National Government in
the hands of Mcclellan.
We have thus exposed at some length the
Republicans malicious misrepresentation
of the operations of our Armies. For weeks
past this system of falsehood has been re
lied upon to bolster up their sinking cause.
They well know that their only hope of sue
cess lies in disaster to our arms. And as the
most strenuous efforts Of their Rebel friends
have failed to produce these much desired
disasters, the editors of the Republican IN
hesitatingly and unblushingly manufacture
them to order. What Is to be thought of a
man or a party who viii thus persistently
magnify our reverscs and beiittle our tri-
umphs-who will falsify the achievements
of our gallant soldiers, and hold up for adj
miration the valor of their enemies-who
viii apologize for Rebel depredations, and
denounce the war measures of our own Gov
ernment2 What stronger evidence of the
close alliance between Northern Copperheads
and Southern Rebels, could possibly be fur
nished than this tissue of unmitigated false
| hoods?

SPEECH OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
His Views of the Election in Maryland.


WASHINGTON, Oct la.-The President
was serenaded at the White House tonight
and, on appearing at an upper window, spoke
as follows, being frequently Interrupted With
applause:
1 am notified that this Is a compliment
paid me by the loyal Marylanders resident in
this District. | infer that the adoption of
the new Constitution for the State furnishes
the occasion, and that, in your view, the ex-
tirpati0n Of slavery constitutes the chief
merit Of the new Constitution
Most heartily do [ congratulate you and
Maryland, and the nation. and the world
upon the event. l regret that It did not oc-
cur two years sooner, which, / am sure.
would have saved TO the nation more money
than would have met all the private loss IN
cldent 10 the measure. But 1t has come at
last, and | sincerely hope It's friends may
fully realize all their anticipations OF good
from it, and that its opponents may, by It's
effects, be agreeably and proftably disap-
pointed.
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 threat that, if [ shall be beat

the end Of my constitutional term, do what
Others regard the fact that the Chicago
Convention adjourned not sine die, but TO
meet again, If called to do so by particular
individual. az the Intimation Of purpose
that if their nominee shall be elected he viii
at once seize the control Of the Government
l hope the good people will permit them
selves TO suffer no uHeasiness on this point.
L am struggling to maintain the Gov
ernment, not 10 overthrow il. | am strug
Cling especially TO prevent others from over
throwing it. | therefore say that, If | shall
live, | shall remain President until the
tourth,0f next March, and that whoever shall
be cOnstitutionaily elected therefor, in No
vember, shall be duly installed as President
on the fourth Of Aiarch, and that, in the in
terval, L shall do my utmost that whoever
is to hold the helm for the next voyage shall
start with the best possible chance TO save
I. the ship.
This is due to the people both on prin-
eiple and under the Constitution. Their
viii, constitutionally expressed, is the ulti-
mate law for all If they should deliber-
ately resolve 10 have immediate peace, even
al the loss Of their country and their liber-
ties, | know not the power or the right 10
resist them. 1t is their own business, and
they must do as they please with their own.
L believe, however, they are still resolved 10
preserve their country and their liberty;
and, in this Office or out, ! am resolved TO
stand BY them.
Il may add that in this purpose to save
the country and It's liberties no classes of
people seem So nearly unanimous as the sol
diers in the field md the seamen aaoat Do
they not have the hardest of it? Who
should quail while they do not? God bless
the soldiers and seamen, with all their brave
commanders ~

Just the Right Kind of Argument.

The Cincinnati Enquirer of last week
proposes the following for the consideration
of capitalists:
What will the bonds and debts Of the Gov
ernment be worth after Lincoln has added
FIVE or six thousand millions of dollars to the
four thousand millions of debt already accu-
mulated This is the question that capital
lists put to one another and its effects are
obvious.
Now, says the Times, We viii ask those
same capitalists what the four thousand mil
lions of debt already accumulated, and held
by themselves in the shape of bonds and
greenbacks, viii be worth if LINCOLN is de-
feated? The Peace Democracy would repu-
diate their redemption and deny the legality
of their issue That is the proper manner
for capitalists to argue the question of the
public debt. Every dollar of it is held in
this country, and nine dollars in every ten is
in the hands of loyal men.

A Raid on st. Albans, Vermont.

led the First National Bank of about S54,

and the Franklin Bank Of S85, 900. Sever

WORK. WORKIl WORKI!I

It Is evident that our vote was not all out
at the recent election. Our friends were
over confident of success, and did not make
the effort demanded by the overwhelming
importance of the contest. True we have
succeeded, but a little more apathy would
have resulted in defeat. Now let US learn
wisdom by experience Let Us go earnestly
to work, and resolve not to be satisfied with
a mere majority. but to make the victory
overwhelming. and redeem the old Key
stone from the last taint of COpperheadism.
Work earnestly from this until the polls
close on the 8th of November. See that
the meetings called throughout the county
are fully attended. Go yourself and take
your neighbor with you. Do the same when
you go to the election. Get out eve,y UHi9n
rote Let every body see that you are in
earnest-that you not only profess TO be a
Union man, but that you are willing to la
Dor and make sacrifices if need be, for the
success of the cause. Yol viii then teach
by example, as well as by precept, and will
have the qualification of knowing that you
did something towards securing the grand
and glorious triumph which the Union hosts
will achieve over rebels, traitors, and cop
perheads-over every foreign and domestic
enemy of the country. Then WORK!

HAVE TT ATTENDED TO.

We understand that some of the soldiers
in the Army did not receive their certificates
of assessment and tax-receipts before the
October election. We can assure the SOL
diers that the Union County Committee ex-
erted themselves to have assessments made,
the taxes paid, and the proper certificates
forwarded to all men In the Army, without
regard to the party preferences they may en-
tertain If any of our friends know of any
omission, we urge them to have it attended
to without delay.
