ELECTION.

The main question at issue to-day, in
volyed in the near election in this State
so far as the same has any National signi'
fcance or importance whatsoever, is
Shall the Republic lives Shall the fret
Government obtained by our fathers ant
handed down to US for enjoyment
preserved through the most dreadful o.
civil wars by our brothers-shall thi.
grand National edifce of Liberty be made
enduring, or shall it be given up to ire
trievable disasters At last the Copper,
heads make no disguise of their emotion:
and their designs. If victorious they will
illustrate in acts the malevolence they now
openly profess toward free institutions,
No less momentous is the issue. And il
seems to.stand out in clearer light to-day,
than it did at any time last Fall. Fol
now we note that every rebel State il

Of hostilities" they may, perchance, obtain
office wherein to feed their stomachs with
whisky, and illuminate their reasonable
speech with comparative IMMUNITY.
The people of Nevada in the coming
Union victory will do more to secure the
prosperous future Of the State by theii
political majority, than by any other pos
sible series Of personal acts which they
could perform. Through a Union Con-
gresham we may ask with confidence and
success for all those appropriation aid:
from the Federal Government which we
so much need, and need at once. In him
we shall have a firm supporter Of the
Pacific Railroad, by the Central route
across the plains. In him, the State will
have a Representative who will procure q
grant and subsidy for the new branch
to the trans-continental railroad on this
route. In short, his election will ensure
the building entire Of the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad, as now projected, from
the Pacific Ocean to the Missouri in les:

in D. r. Ashley as Congressman we make
up, again, a united delegation in the Ma.

reason and for our highest good cannot

possible, we had as well have no one there
to foster State interests. Seating himself

Hence it is that our interests as a loyal
