Come Out to the Election,

Let no friend Of Mcclellan and Pendleton re-
main at home on the day of election Every
vote is needed. This is demonstrated by the
vote lately taken on the adoption Of the Consti-
tuition. Who can doubt that if there had been
even three.fourth's vote in the State, that that
instrument would have been beaten ut least
10. 0lo votes. This, If nothing else, shows TIE
importance of a puuctual attendance at the polls
But this is not all. Those who are in favor of a
change Of Administration, by remaining at home
or failing 10 vote, are 10 that extent assisting tie
present party to retain power. We know that
it is not your Intention to do so, hut that is the
inevitable consequence off failure TO vote Nor
ton was elected Governor of Massachusetts, about
1871, by but one vote majority and at the last
election the vote in Cecil county, on the Corsti-
tntion, WAS tie. Now if county ticket had
been in The field in Cecil, see the importance CT
one vote.
There will he county ticket ct the coming
e'ection, and let Us see what Hartford can d.
We cannot think, from the signs of the times,
that there is anything needed but full turn out
TO secure the triumph Of our party in this ccunty
md State. Work, then, while it is day.

Bull, , Dallas, 1860
The limits of this address do not permit
an argument III support of the position
that to cunStrde the oath as embracing acts
committed before the adoption OF this
Constitution renders il an &C post fdcto
law. 1t is too plain for argument that the
clause of the Constitution which requires
the oath makes acts criminal which were
not SO before its adoption, changes the rule
Of evidence, and by depriv;ng tie citizen Of
the right to vote or to hold Office, thereby
ntllcls a punishment. How, then, can the
oath be construed 50 as to give effect ra,h-
er than to render it nulIiy? Only by
making it embrace acts committed or de-
sIres expressed from and after the adoption
OF the Constitution. This. we hold, is the
true construction Of the oath. II goes into
effect On the lst OF November, 1864, and
operates upon acts done or desires express
ed from and after that ds.e and no, ante
cedently. Every voter, thereto e,who can
swear truly i'll reference. to acts done or
desires expressed from and after the st of
November, 1864, we hold is entitled to
vote, and we advise the people Of the State,
to come forward, act upon this as the true
construction, take the oath and vote their
sentiments.
Fellow citizens, we have reached great
crisis in our history. Momenious Interests
depend upon your decision IN common
with the friends Of constitutional liberty
throughout the country. Elect Mcclellan
and Pendlcton. and we see the dawn of
the first ray Of light which foreshadows
peace and reunion. s'IIaili holy light, off
spring Of Heaven - Continue Lincoln in
power, and the future is dak and ominous
with The clouds Of war, leading either to
the determination or suhjugaton of our
Southern brethren, accompanied with the
overthrow and loss OF the liberties of the
people both North and South, and the
wreck Of the Constitution.
When such issues are presented for the
decision Of the American people it il the
duty Of every Marylander TO aid in the
election of a "President who will abide by
the Constitution as his only source of au-
thority, civil and military, aid as the SUI

WAR NEWS.

Kentucky IS again overrun, not cniy with
guerillas but with mere regularly organized bod
les OF Contederates some of them being in COLI
siderable force. On Wednesday last the town Of
Mayield was captured. On TIE previous Satur-
day the Confederate General Lyon, in command
OF fifteen hundred men, captured the Federal gar
1ison ut Eddytown. He has since crossed, with
five hundred men, to Tic south side of the Cum
berlund River with Tic supposed design Of de-
stroying the Nashville and Northwestern Rail
road vt some Point near Charlotte. -Four regi-
mcnts Of Conledcratcs are reported TO be at Cen
trevil!e, in Hickman county. Another Contcde-
rate force, four hundred strong, was at Owens
bore on Friday last. On the same day Chenc-
with's guerillas numbering in the aggregate
some two thousand men, are also said TO be scat
tered along the Ohio River, between the mouth
of Salt River and Evansville.
AN arrival at Washington yesterday from the
Army of the Potomac reports that during Salur-
day night heavy firing was heard in the direc-
OF the James river, supposed 10 be from the Union
gnnboats. The enemy on Saturday, without do
ing much damage, sheled the working party at
Dutch Gap. Richmond papers of Saturday, it
is stated, acknowledge defeat in the Valley and
the loss Of 30 guns, besides what they had taken
at first.
The story of the defeat of Price, which comes
TO us, unoffcially, in the shape of telegram
from Kansas City, must he accepted with due re-
serve. There had, however, been heavy skir-
mishng on Friday and Saturday, the advantage
of which must have been with the Confclerates,
as Blunt, who was contcs.ing their advance, was
pushed gradually back and the situation was re-
garded as so critical that Governor Carney called
for every available man. On Sunday general
battle is said to have beer fought but from the
few particulars We have it appears 10 have been
more in the nature off, running fight. Finally,
according to The telegram, grand charge was
made resulting in the total rout of the enemy
A. the last advices from the battlefield, Pleas
ant3n's cavalry were said 10 lie in vigorous pur-
suit the infantry following Notwithstanding
the alleged fact that Prices forces were complete
ly broken up, the telegram informs US that they
may possibly make an attack upon Fort Scott,
but that they will be too closely pursued 10 do
much damage. Officially VIC have no report
whatever of this important battle but 1t will
come, doubtless, in due time.

THE WAR OF THE ScALLYwAG s.-
Benjamin F. Butler and Gov. Pierpont, Of
Virginia, are having an amiable and loyal
discussion concerning their respective ad
ministrations Of public affairs. Pierpout
avows, and what Is wolse, proves that
Butler descended to such small stealing as
the theft of dozen of old brady iron a
genlleman's private sideboard, and silver
tea cadjy from an old lady. Butler re .orts
by calling Pierpont sol disam Governor,
sneering at the. ridiculous aud mystical
commonwealth over which he holds sway,
and boldly charges that the executive de-
pa'lment is maintained by the sale of IL
quor licences alone, else Pierpont would

SENATOR HARRIS ON MCCLELLAN.-
When Mcclellan was removed from the
command by Mr.. Lincoln, Senator Harris
expressed his grief in clear terms. In a
letter which he wrote at the time, he sta
ted his feelings thus:
. "On entering my class room on Monday
morning, and before proceed ny with my
lecture, the class called for my opinion as
to the removal of Mcclellan. | then said:
The removal Of General Mcclellan" has
both surprised and gricved me. l think
it great mistake. | regard him as the
ablcst general the war has yet brought to
notice. | am not aware Of any sufficient
grounds for this step"

ADVICE TO OLD-LINE WHIGs.-The
Louisville Journal, in the course of an ar

says:

with the Democratic party is an apos,ale.
lie refuses to stand where he always stood
He renonnces his principles. lie deserts
his colors. lie turns his back upon the
the wise teaching and upon the hig h exam
plies of Clay and Crittenden. Such man
has no shadow of right TO be called or to
call himself Wing. II he is an honest
man and understands the force of Ian
guagc, he will neither claim nor accept the
honored name"
