n- The campaign is over, and
victory again res's with the Union
party. The Copperheads have been
once more driven back to their dens,
where they can writhe and wriggle
for another year. Their base and
hypocritical fawning aud cringing at
the feet of Union soldiers, PROCESSING
love and friendship in order to OBJ
tain votes, has been met with that
scorn and detestation which every
true soldier always feels for the ene-
my of his country. The subtle
dodge of nominating officers who
served in the army, as candidates on
the Copperhead ticket, failed to catch
any but the officers themselves, and
that too has resulted greatly to the
satisfaction of the Union party par
ticularly In Gallia county, Ohio. In
short this election has sifted out
from amongst the Union party. a
large class who whilst the war lasted,
and money was to be made, found il
to their interest pecuniarily, to make
some show of supporting theUnion
ticket. The war over, and no longer
any commissions to be held, these
gentlemen returned to their origi-
nal political status, and willingly
suffered themselves "to be used as
cats-paws'' by the original, veritable
Copperheads, sin raking their chest
nuts out of the Union fire." in doing
which some of them have not only
received present scorching, but have
been branded indelibly by public
opinion, with the letter c, in such q
manner that no day in the future OF
their lives will see it erased. For all
this we devoutly give thanks.

H The Episcopal General Con-
Tention at Philadelphia, has been in
session for some days. It's sessions
have not been by any means harmo-
nious. Copperheadism and seces-
sionism seems to have many advo-
Gates, and they occasionally receive
a lunge from Union members, that
makes them cripge.

ev Now that the campaign is over |


and the candidates on the Unior
county ticket triumphantly elected
I'VE deem 1t in place to say a few
words for the benefit of the party ir
the future.
Our victory vas certain from the
day the Union candidates were nom
mated. This certainty, produced
feeling Of apathy and carelessness
on part of the candidates, that was
det rimental to our cause. Had the
contest been a close one, we should
have seen 8 different state of things.
Every candidate would have set him
self earnestly to work, to get out q
full vote The friends of each con-
didate would have interested them
selves in getting out the whole vote.
As it vas scores of Union voters re-
mained at home. Confident Of sue
cess, they failed to consider the i'm
portance of that one vote, and our
majority is therefore 200 less than it
should have been.
The enemy acted quite differently.
Their candidates, worked like bea-
yers. They were 'instant in sea
son and out of season." in concoct-
ing and publishing not only in their
paper but orally every lie and SIAN
der, not against the candidates of the
Union party, but against the editor
of the Journal. A little personal
abuse of the candidates might have
stirred them up to due diligence.
The enemy knew this, and their sys-
TEN was not to attack the candidates
but the Editor, who was not q can
didate nor ever expects to be. All
this they were doing without the
slightest hope of obtaing an elec-
ton. Not man on the ticket, ever
dreamed of gaining an election. The
whole game was as one of them OBJ
served, to re-suscitate the old Demo
cratic party as it stood before the
war. For this purpose they spared
neither time nor money. They
travelled over the county holding
little meetings wherever they could
get a "corporal's guard together"
going to see personally every man
whose vote they had any hope of
obtaining, and by ringing the char
ges On the Journal, negro suffrage,
of taxation, &c, did GER
tainly effect very materially the re-
suit. Had they been carefully fol-
lowed up by the candidates of the
Union party, and check mated in
their insldious efforts to mislead the
people, we should TO- day be able to |
publish a still more satisfactory re-
suit. If we desire 10 maintain the ,
ascendency of the Union party its
must be sustained by ac-
tual work. If its nominations when
tan tamount to an election, are worth
seeking, they should be followed up
with corresponding energy and ac-
tivity on part of the successful

who fails to do this. We are not
willing to bear the whole brunt of
the contest, take all the vituperation
and abuse of a bitter and malignant as
well as unscIupulous foe, for the
benefit Of others, who are the sole
recipients of the benefits derived
from the party organization.
We merely throw out this sugges-
tion as our guide for the future

the lst Ward our Copperhead friends
seemed to have pretty much their

away from the polls did not find time
during the day to vote. Not only in
that Ward, but others, the Union N en-
seemed to let matters take their own
course, confident of victory in the

weighed like an incubus, but was
