~We again urge our Union
friends to rally to the polls on next
Monday. Let nothing keep you at
home, that would not do it on the
day of the next Presidential election.
Every thing leading to a complete
organization is of importance in this
campaign. This election will serve
as skirmish with the enemy, in
which you can test your strength.
There are Union men enough IN
each district to run the VI llandig-
hamers to the wall and keep them
there.
See to it particularly that your
trustees are men of undoubted loyal

~A sianderous story has been
extensively IN circulation among the

tsschers who went South to Port

children. The Copperhead papers
say that sixty Of them had given
birth to mulatto chlldrenT Mr. G.

who has been at Port Royal for some
weeks past, nails that lie to the wall
by the following statement: tLT

We very much doubt-he has left off

An exchange says on this
point: o

ced to the necessity of slandering

that looks like education to a black

to be ashamed of themselves we

wSome persons having more
time than they can occupy in their
own business, and kindly inclined, to
devote portion thereof to the bust
ness of others, took special pains to
mis- construe the meaning of an ar

the election Of corporation officers.

intention to reproach them with any
dereliction of duty 7
But our article was intended for a
certain class, who for months past
have been urging us to rip up the
Council and Mayor, for not doing
thus and so through the columns Of
the Journal, but who were very care
full to decline writing the ripping ar
ticles themselves, though perfectly
willing the editor should do it. To
all such we directed our remarks last
week, and say again, that they can
test their sincerity "by electing q

We irish Democrats may not like
the complexion Of things and we
may abuse till we burst the Abo-
litionists as instigaters Of the South
ern revolt, but facts, whether just or
unjust, are against US. The Aboli-
tionists have actually carried the day,
and it is utterly out of our power to
drive them back to night again. Abo-
litonism Of the most perpetual and
sweeping kind is sweeping the entire
nation And We may as we'll not
resist the national current The tide
is rising; let us not permit it to leave
US in the solitary sand. AS there is
Christian philanthropy in emancips-
ting the blacks. let us have that phil
anthropy as it is justice to the nation
to destroy slavery, let US be just to
the nation; and, as the future peace
of the country demands the ruin of
slavery; let us secure tie future
peace of the country. Away with

judiee. Away with the nonsense of re-
sisting the national current Let US at
all events accept with grace that
