The Surrender Party.

1t is evident that the copperheads
and democrats are proposing, in the
coming presidential campaign, to con-
jure with the word peace" Awaiting
themselves of the word, hardships, dis
contents and high prices incident to
the war, they hope to secure a sufficient
support for their candidate by spread
ing the impression that we cannot
have peace under Mr.. Lincoln and by
promising it, more or less explicitly,
under some other candidate The
plan is well devised, and the fathers OF
it probably could not place themselves
on stronger basis. Poor men, who
are paying twice and three-fold what
they ever paid before for the necessa-
ries of life, who are little used, per
haps, to reflect upon the causes OF
things, and who are apt to think that
any change, in these times, is likely to
be an improvement, may, possibly, be
only too easily led off by the seductive
word Peace" But it would be pity
indeed, if any such wretched sophistr,
as this could succeed. There is nc
man in the country, probably, more
heartily DESTROYS of peace than Mr.
Lincoln, unless it be General Grant
or General Sherman. The loyal PEG
pie of this county are and, Throughout
the war, have been eager for peace
/ What then is meant by the copperhea(
or the democrat when he calls himsel
a friend of peace? He means, if h,
means anything in particular, that h,
is in favor Of conceding to the rebel
the right of secession or of layin,
down arms like the king of Denmark
and making such terms as we can
with the enemy. Mr.. Lincoln on tn
other hand, is in favor of compellin,
the rebels to lay down their arms an,
of forcing them to make such terms a
they can with us. One advocate
peace through victory. Both are peac
men, seeking common object by tn
use of different means. If the part
of Mr.. Lincoln is to be called the wa
party-designating it by the mean
which it advocates to secure a peace
then the copperheads and democrat
should be called, not the peace-party
but The surrender-party. Exchange

How EARLY THREsHED WHEAT.-A

following account of the facilities the
rebel Gen. Early had for securing the
crops in the Shenandoah valley;
In regard to Early's threshing wheat,
he was much facilitated in this way.

large establishment for the manufac-
ture of threshing machines at Mar

and ground for transportation and the
use of the army. As soon as ready

What are We Fighting For?

Somany great issues are involved in
the result of the contest, one hardly
knows which to select as the most i'm
portant 1t may, however be stated
that the freemen of America are fight
ing for constitutional government, for
liberal institutions, for principle
which the English nation has been
contending for since the reign of King
John, and has as yet but partially at
tained, viz: the right Of a people,
through their Representatives, to rule
themselves, in which respect the Amer
lean republic is standing menace to OIL
igarchs and irresponsible rulers, and a
perpetual encouragement TO oppressed
peoples to hold up their heads, and to
look for the good time coming. And
this is the circumstance which induces
the holders of usurped powers and
their minions, whenever found, from
the highest to the lowest, to desire the
success of the slave aristocrats OF

outset Will IL bring pence to suffer
the establishment of a separate govern
ment, animated by hatred of the North !?
viii not fresh causes of war constant
ly spring up? VIII not these rebels,
whose staple is cotton, speedily make
an alliance with England or France?
And then. in our next quarrel, not far
off, we NAV besure, we shall have to
fight not only the rebels, exhausted,
with no navy, shut up in their two
strongholds, and reduced to desper-
ate policy of defence, but we must meet
them reinforced by the army and navy
of powerful European nation, elated
with the prestige Of a former triumph
over us, and replenished in all their
resources.
VIII it bring peace to allow the doc
trine of secession to be incorporated
into our constitution, so, that any fret
full community, acting upon any whim,
may control the policy Of the govern
ment? Is is possible that there can
be peace under such constitution q?
VIII it conduce to peace to suffer
the institution of slavery to be REIN
stated, with new guarantees for its
continuance and its extension? Ger
tainly not, as the history of our own
politics shows, unless at the same time
that we make peace with the rebels
we can work a radical change in the
moral sympathies and antipathies o.
the human race.
1t is to be hoped that the American
people are in no danger of committing
the blunder made by England ant
France, and supposing that genuine
peace can come in any way but by tn,
defeat of the rebels. To falter nov
Just as success is within our grasp, af
ter all the labors and sacrifices alread,

grace. 1t is not possible that the spiri

men that have fallen in this war as t,

CAN We PAY THE national DEBT p
A great argument of the opposition is
that our national debt is so large that
the country is going to ruin--all
brought about by the Republican adj
ministration. The official report puts
our debt at little over eighteen hun
dred million Of dollars. What have
we to meet it with? Hon. Justin S.

The State Election.

The existence Of so much apathy as
now prevails in the Union party, just
Before election, seems astonishing. In
view of the great issues involved, one
would hardly suppose that an important
election is about to transpire, so quiet
and apathetic are the freemen of Yer
mont. And yet within few days the
freemen of the State will be called
upon to indicate at the polls whether
they prefer that the administration
should be changed or that the war
should be vigorously prosecuted.
The opposition are wide awake, and
it would be safe to anticipate that ev-
cry means possible will be taken to
prevent triumphant vote in favor of
administration nominees.
The general excitement which has
been incident to the call of the Presi-
dent for five hundred thousand men
has been to great extent the cause Of
this neglect Of political duties.
The fact that there has hitherto beer
no opposition presidential candidate
has been another cause of the great
lull in the presidential atmosphere.
But be the causes what they may, il
would be gross folly to ignore the fac
of such apathy, and still grosser folly
to omit making every possible effor
to induce the people to awake at one,
from their lethargy

Peace and Low Prices.

Look at the resolutions of these So
called peace-democrats, and see the
kind Of peace which they contemplate.
They propose, plainly, to abandon all
the fruits of the war and either to sub
NIT to see the country divided as the
rebels wish or to reinstate the rebels,
if they can, under a Union which shall
secure all that they ask. The war, as
many of them say, is unconstitutional
"you cannot coerce sovereign States. ="
That of course means disunion.
Are the people ready for that =?
Does that mean peace? What said
Jefferson Davis the other day to Messrs.
Gilmore and Jaquess? Assuming the
success of the rebellion, he told them,
there probably could be no peace IN this
generation there was too much bitter
ness, too great an "ocean of blood be-
tween the North and the South to al
low of peace in this generation. Does
this look like peace and low prices
Which party offers to the country the
best likelihood of an early peace-the
one which comes before it with a prac-
teal endorsement of Jefferson Davis
and policy which promises war for
whole generation, or the one which has
placed Grant before Richmond, Sher.
man before Atlanta and Farragut IL
Mobile Bay, which offers to give the
country peace by blotting out the per
tensions of the rebels altogether, by
pulling up the very roots of discord anc
by establishing and confirming the au
thority of the government.
1t is nonsense to talk of the imposs
ibility of reducing the rebels to obedi
enee. Break their military power anC
