A Last Word.

On Monday next, the freemen Of this State once more assemble for the purpose of cast ing their votes for State Officers, Senators, Representatives in the State Leg sslature, Juag. es of Probate and Justices of the Peace, There are two tickets presented for the sui fages of the people. one of them headed by a devoted public servant, who has served the people in the Guberuatora ofica with rare fidelity, wisdom and disinterestel patriotism lorthe past six years, the other by gentle. man equally as we'll known, perhaps, through the State, man of undoubted probty and purity of private character, Lat whose chief distinction at this time is, that he is the lead ing candidate of the copperhead or peace par. ty, and who, if elected, will be bound to carry out his party measures aud party schemes. The distinction which makes up the two polit- ical parties in this State is too we'll un. derstood to ceel comment here. Every man who can read and judge for himself, Or who can look i",,! ';' own heart and can interpret It's wishes. "n l'rstands the difference between tho principles and objects and aims of the two parties which are represented on the one ticket and the other.
 In these trying times of civil war, when armed traitors arc endeavoring to overthrow the Government and pull dewn the nation, We are either for the Government and against the traitors, or we are for the traitors and against the nation. Such must be our sympathies, such our feelings, wherever We hs ve votes to cast. There can be no middle ground. Plain. y enough there is none. We either love our country and hate rebellion, or we wink at re- oe!llon and shirk tho responsibility Of aiding our country.
 Again, it is the duty as well as the priyl- lese of every freeman to give his sentiments and feelings expression at the polls. Sick or well' enthusiastic or indifferent, our country always needs and our State demands the pres. ence of eus'y rossr os tbe 5aUot,6ox How much more then when our country is still buff. fetted by traitors from without, and our Stats is threatened with anarchy and ruin by traitors within it's borders!
