VICTORY TO-DAY.

"Soldiers, behold the sun of AusterE,z.n
said BoSAPARrE when he would give his war;
riors = battle cry that should bring victory BY
melting them to emulate their proudest tri.
umph. So would we remind Union men of
their triumphs over Copperhead Democra>
cy at the ballot box, and over the Southern
rebel Democracy on the battle field during
the recent years, and we would counsel them
to rival now their proudest successes in the
past.
Shall LoEalty or Treason triumph? That
was the issas through four years. 1t is the
Issue to-day. DouOLAs said there were only
two parties-loyal men and traitors those
who were for the country and ose who were
against it. Is it net the men, North and
South, who were against the Government that
are now the allies of ANDREW JOHNSON and
who now ask you to vote them into political
rule in the country?
Union men, you triumphed in battle; you
triumphed at the ballot box gloriously in
1854 and at the election preceding and sue.
ceeding that; will You surrender now?
These men that ANDREW JoHSsox seeks to
sxalt to power proved hostile to the nation
and sought to take its life in war, why should
you trust them in peace2
htreason, and sympathy with it, SO trivial
acrime or so great virtue that you will give
the national control to those thus guilty?
Shall renegade President override the
peoples representatives, and for our oonsti.
tutional law making body give US the one man
power? BY your vote to-day you pass upon
that question.
Stand true to your Union principles during
rahs war. Let every one do his duty. Then
shall the Union Republican ticket, here aud
elsewhere, have grand triumph to-day.

As showing how rapidly the chivalry are
being reconstructed, it may be noticed that
the Richmond Dispatch urges that the lead.
ing radical papers of the country be suppress
sed. It SAYS:
''All other Radical journals would hold
their peace or else come out in favor of 'sus-
tanning the Government just as the Demo.
cratic party did when Mr.. Lincoln had sup
pressed few of the more outspoken of their
number; and ~ people, who are always
ready to stand by such men IS are not afraid
to take the responsibility, would rally to
the support Of the President. By judicious
administration of this excellent Radical
physic, the body polite North would soon
show abundant evidences of the setting in Of
'healthful reaction T"
That is the role of rebel dictation to which
Mr.. johnson invites the Union men of the
loyal States.

We have nothing further to do this morn
ing than merely 10 call attention to the duty
of our people TO vote for these noble young
men. We shall not urge considerations why
they should be elected. We have not ceased
to do this since their nomination. This with
the admirable and convincing Soldiers ad-
dress which we have kept standing in our
columns make further argument on this
score unnecessary.
The case is so plain the relative merits
of Rollett and Warwick on the one hand
against those Of Doerr and Mumm on the
other; The claims ofthe former to be elected
on the grounds that they are capable and
honest, galan, private soldiers and hard
working men, are SO strong that our people
cannot and will not close their eyes to them.
Unless the people Of Lee county want to vote
censure upon a man for having worn the blue
of his country, for having been private sol
der. for being an honest laboring man aud no
politician, let them vote for and elect Rollett
and Warwick.

President johnson has furnished battery
to Gen. Lees Military Institute. The Chica.

"Mr. johnson has furnished battery for
Gen. Lees Military Institute. As the ne.
groes are prohibited from bearing arms,

war, and this BY an official act from Wash

Gen. Warren spoke his wet blanket piece
at Burlington, Saturday night. The HACK

anything calculated to interest an audience,
and the meeting was entirely free from en-
thusiasm." He assured his hearers that he
didn't expect to be elected. That's we'll, for

the merits Of our State ticket, but our friends

People of Lee county, from Illinois, from
Ohio. from Indiana, from Pennsylvania, from
oil parts of the North come good reports of
the progress of the Eight. Everywhere the
Union columns are moving steadily forward.
The Republican Unionists are earnest and
enthusiastic Logan is msrshAlling the loyal
hosts Of Illinois. Unionism in Indiana is in
blaze under the leadership of Schuyler Col.
fax and Governor Morton. Gen. Geary will
rout the Butternut Clymer's forces in Penn
sylvanis, and Ohio will make noble report
for herself by to days WORK. Iowa will no,
be behind in loyal duty. See to it that Keo-

Fitz Henry said in his speech at Burlington
Saturday night, that he did not expect to be
elected, but is casting his bread upon the wa

That is modest on the part of Fitz Henry, but
the fact is, he got his bread aud butter too,
before he commenced his present political
sowing. His future harvest will be bitter

YorERs, here is a plain proposition:

'pisnas Hcfc - piAiH pfupOsitloH.
"All persons born or naiuraiized in the
United States, and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens OF the United States and
of the State wherein they reside. No Stste
shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citi-
zens of the United States; nor shall any State
deprive any person Of life, Liberty, or prop
erty, without due process Of law, nor deny to
any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws
Is not that just, true, expedient? Should

Of the United States be abridged? Should =
State be permitted to deprive any person of
life, liberty or property without due process
Of laws Should State be permitted to de-
ny any person within its jurisdiction the equal

LOCAL NOTICES.

Beware of Ainbus adesf-Few people re-
alize the fact that disease lies in ambush every.
where, ready to seize upon the weak. The strong
pass through many perils in safety, the strength
less fall by the wayside. - 10.
It is amazing that the feeble should tottsr with
uncertain steps over the face Of the earth in danger
every day of falling victims TO the morbid infu-
ences by which We are all surrounded, when q
tested and proven vegetable tonic, capable Of en-
downing them with the Vigor they need, is procura-
bic in every city, town and settlement. 1t might
reasonably be thought that after the twelve
years experience which the world has had Of
HosrErTKR' STOMACH BITrERs, al would know
that its effect is to prevent disease.
The fact is notorious that q dose Of poison which
will scarcely affect a vigorous man in perfect health
will kill 8 weak one. Now what Is the cause Of
epidemic diseases: Poison an he ar At this season
the atmosphere is surchArged with the seeds Of in
termittents, renittentS, rheumatism, pulmonary
disorders, bilious complaints, and the Ike. Per-
sons whose nervous systems are relaxed are the
first to succumb to these ~distenpers. Brace up
tho physical energies then, with this potential
vegetable tonic. It is the most powerful recupe-
rant which the boantic kingdom has every yielded
to patient research and experiment. Try it. The
blindest disciple Of the old medical dogmas will at
least admit that a tonic and alternative, com
pounded OF approved herbs, roots, end bsrks, can
do no harm, while the testimony Of thousands in
vites a trial Of its virtues. janl

WEDNESDAY Evening, Jan. 8, 1856.
The local money market to-day ruled
quiet, so far as the demand for money is
concerned, the banks generally reporting
an unusually light call for discounts. This
is perhaps to a large degree characteristic
of the season, but yet there has probably
never been a period inrthe business history
Of Cleveland when its merchants demanded
less assistance from banking capital than
now. The packing interest, which usually
at this season draws heavily uPsn the banks,
is doing nextto nothing, while produce mer-
chants and commission men find no use for
borrowed capital IN the sluggish condition
of trade. There is no class of operators
who have the confidence to venture beyond
their immediate wants. The supply of cur
rency on the market is not large, but rela-
lively to the demand the market is comfort
ably easy. i
Eastern Exchange continues rather below
the point Of ease, though the market is moi
uncomfortably close. At the same time the
demand is only moderate. Rates are steady
at par buying and lie premium selling.
Gold experienced a decided fall in the
New York market to-day, the price opening
at l444 and closing at 1924. The cause o
the decline is not stated in our dispatches
but it is probably due in a measure to tn,
gold-interest payments Of the sub-Treasury
and more largely to the limited demand
present and prospective, which permits
steady Accumulation on the market. Til,
low rates Of foreign exchange indicate al
abundant supply and look favorable to
(" bear +" movement on gold.
Government securities were less activ
and weaker in the New York market to-day
though no decided change was effected il
prices. The decline was probably mainl,
in sympathy with gold.
In this market dealers made the followin
rates, buying and selling, upon coin an,
overnmen
