REST WEARY ONE.

Our youthful friend over the way,
has conducted the campaign with q
vengeance. He worked his brain in
every imaginable shape, and wore II
nearly out. For his sake and the
sake of his party, we are glad that
the campaign has closed-for his
sake that his over. worked brain may
have rest, and for the sake of his
party, because In one week more it
would have been among the III ngs

hard, but, unfortunately, like Vallan
digham, he didn't work right. He
always got the cart before the horse.
He showed up the niger too much.
People thought that if the niger was
worth so much abuse he had some
thing in him. That if the Copper
heads were SO afraid of him, Union
men had nothing to fear. He run
him in the ground
Then, the taxes we're high; the
bonds were villianous imposition
This was shown too clearly. II tax

support the Government, a thing
which the Copperheads willfully re.
fused to do, of course they wouldn't
like to pay them, and as the bonds
were good enough for Copperheads
to invest all their loose change in
they could get, they we're not such a
bad thing. We thank Will. and hope
he will continue to dose out the same
kind of stuff, and another year will
sink Copperheadism in Hancock

COPPERHEADIsM FOUND ITS
RESTING PLACEi

Ohio, always true to the Union
and the Constitution, has again de-
cided for the right. 1t still declares
that Copperhead principles are not
those OF the loyal people. That n
party that plunged the country into
civil war, and attempted to pcrma.

the one TO control the Government.
That party that has proved false
to Its country, Is not to be trusted.
Thank God for an enlight ened peo-
pie.
We have carried the State by about
1000 majority. This is quite
enough to show where the people
stand, but is not what it ought to
have been. Uuion men argued that
the State was safe, and stayed away
from the polls. This was criminal,
but the result is the same.
We have defeated the Democracy,
and shown them that false issues and
palpablc falsehoods, will not de-
ceive the people. Their leaders will
