That GovERsoR MORTON is the choice
of ninete of the republicans oil
Wayne county cannot be denied BY any
candid man who is acquainted with the
condition of the public sentiment, and
what we say of Wayne county we believe
to be true of every county in this Con
gressional District The three Repre-
sentatiyes elect, MEssRs. PEELLE. FoULKE
and MARTIN will, as we are advised, vote
for GOVERNOR MORTON from their belief
in his fitness and because in SO doing
they will represent large majority of
their constituents; not only so, but it was
unique stionahly the understanding at the
time Of their nomination that they would
so vote And we are Informed that in
most of tie counties of the State, such
an understanding was distinctly had
when the candidates for the Legislature
were nominated.
The course of the 7rae Republican to-
wards GoyERNoR MoRros need excite no
surprise That paper and the Madison
Courier, from which it quotes largely,
were the two Journals protesting to be
Union which opposed him bitterly
throughout 1861, go and '63 in the
darkest and most difficult times when he
was struggling singh handed against

These JourAois and especially the True
Repubficon fought him with the utmost
malignity, and republishcd with avidity
every confederate lie which was thrown
into circulation There was bre: ces
satioa ia the stream of calumny during
the canvass OF 1854 while Mn JULIAN's
, name was on the same ticket with that OF
GovEKNoK MORTON, but as soon as the
election was over, it issued again from
the columns of the True Republican and
so'continued up to this time.
There is q wonderful similarity be-
tween the course of the True Republican
and the Rebel organ at Indianapolis, the
Hereid The Hsrald quotes the True
Repu6ficaa and the True Republican quotes
the Herald All the Copperheads are in
favor Of beating MoRTos with JULIAN
The Coppcrheads know who hurt them
they know from whom they got the
heavy blows.
II republican politician quarrels only
with the men of his own party, they like
him much better than another who has
waged deadly with them, and
would be greatly delighted If they could
be permitted to sele CT the next Senator
The Copperheads hate Gov. MORTON
with malignity that has no example:
they hate him for his course during the
war; they hate him for his support Of the
government; for tie support he gave 10
the army ard they hate him for having
defeated them in all their schemes and
conspi les.
They hate him for his great campaign
in 1864, and they especially hate and
revile him for his speech in Masonic hall
in June last, which went through the ma
ton like an electric shock aud opened
the campaign in every Northern State
1t was more extensively read, and ex-
ercised a greater influence than any
speech made within a qua: ter of cen
fury.
1t put the coppcrhcads on the aefen
Give. arrigned them on an indictment the
most terrible that ever was framed, and
placed all of the great issues in light
so clear that all would understand Next
to tho election of Vallardigham as
President. the copperheads would re-
gard the defeat Of Gov. MORTON as their
greatest triumph. His defeat by any
Republican they would bail with the
utmost delight as great victory, going
far to compensate them for many mort
fcations. That lie is tue choice of the
people OF Wayne county, and of the en-
tire State every well informed man knows,
and lie cannot be defeated unless by
disruption OF The Party and q comhina
ton with the Copperheads, which we DC
lievc to be impossible.
