man, aud if they are properly Needed
and put in practice, the triumph in the
October elections will be but the drops
hat precede the mighty shower in No
ve.pber. We must not permit the octo'
Der victory to prove our Capua, and lull
us to Ieep in the belief that our advsr
saries are completely disheartened and
will make no further effort a
The Address 6rst sums up what hal
been accomplished ia the great States 0
PennsyIvania, Ohio, and Indiana. ia
Pennsylvania We have elected sixteen
out Of tweniy.four Congressmeu, and Sc
cured majority in both branches of the
Legislature. In Ohio sixteeH, out oi
nineteen Congr.ssmen elected, belong to
the Union party. George II. Peadlston
and George Z. Pugh have both bean re.
pudiated in their own district. The Leg
islature is overwhelmingly Union, and
the popular majority will not be less than
| 10000.
In Indiana, redeemed Indiana, the
Union triumph has been Jet more signal.
Without the assistance of the major part
Of our glorious soldiery, the Union men
Of the Hoosier State met their oppo-
nents, who we're well--because secretly
organized, and routed them, horse,
foot, and dragons Several members
Of Congress have bseh gained, an in.
nous Supreme Court regeneratsd, aud
Governor Morton chosen by majority
OF at least 10 600.
There is great danger of Union men
relaxing their efforts, unwisely conelud-
ing that the October victory will of IL
self secure triumph in November.
Against this delusion the Natione Com.

urges the people to let their success
stimulate them TO fresh exerdon, and
not lull them into false security. Their
attention is also called to the fact that
an attempt msy be made to resist the
verdict Of the people in case the cleo
ton should be close Threats to this
effect have been freely made, aud the
action Of the Chicago Convention is cal.
culated to arouse suspicion. The organ
ization Of secret political associations
and the arming of their members are
quite significant When, added to these
Indications, great National Conven-
ton, called together solely TO select can
didates, resolves itself into a permanent
organization, after the manner of the
Jacobin clubs Of revolutionary France,
to take such steps as, in their opiaion,
emergencies might require between now
and the Inauguration of the next Presi-
dent, it is well for people to be on their
guard. An overwhelming defeat At the
polls may so intimidate the couspira-
tors as to induce them to abandon
their contemplated insurrection g
scanty victory on the part Of the Union
men will only preeip;tats it. This is a
weighty suggestion, and one that every
Union man should consider and reflect
upon for himself
I We hope the Union men Of Wander
burgh county, giving heed to the admoni-
tions and exhortations of the National
Union Committee, will grid up their
loins for renewed effort. We are not
near so well organized in this county as
we might be. We fought the last battle,
rather at "loose ends" We ought to
have the county so thoroughly canvassed
as to be able to tell our strength exactly
Meetings ought TO be held ia ever,
country township between now and tn,
day Of election, and the minds of thi
people directed to the importance of de
voting ell their spare tims to advano
ing the Union cause. Documents of al
descriptions should he freely cir culate'
among the people, but above al, ever
township ought to be efficiently an,
thoroughly oanvassed and the uniol
strength asesrtained. In this way alon
can we secure fair election. If ever
) Union voter in Armstrong and Gsrmal
townships is known, and it is known h
voted, it viii be dangerous work TO a
tempt a fraud upon the ballot box, Th
same will hold good as to other pr,
cincts. What say the Union men {
