Our COPPER FRIENDS have shouted
themselves hoarse over Maine and Cali
fornia. The facts are that in Maine the
machine was left to run itself. No or
ganization, either of State or local COM
mittees, and only those Republicans vo-
ted who found it perfectly convenient,
and yet we have whipped the enemy by
more than half our Presidential majority.
If we can so defeat them without effort,
what may they look for when the boys
of the Pine Tree State turn out? In
California, the folly was enacted of few
sleaders" nominating candidates not ac-
ceptable to the masses, and so the Golden
St@te went copper by default. A bitter
lesson, but worth, perhaps, all it cost.

THE President finds much difficulty
in getting even such persons as he likes
to accept Caldnet places, either immedi-
ately or prospectively. The Office Ten
ure Bill takes the ambition out of many
men who would otherwise be aspiring.
General Mcclellan thinks it best for him
to remain i'll Europe and educate his
children, rather than come home and
take the War Department. He is i'm;
proving in strategy.

Nineteen Reasons why every Republican
voter of Ashtabula County sh ouId vote up
Ist. The theory of our government is that ot
purely democratic republic, and every limita-
ton of the right of suffrage, is denial of this
theory, and in practice an approach towards
aristocracy or monarchy.
2. At least every responsible male adult,
whose interests are identified with our country,
and whose rights are not forfeited by crime,
Should have d voice in the administration of its
affairs
8. If life; liberty and property, are natural
rights, it is equally our natural right to make
use of the best agencies to secure them.
L. Ii is anti-republcan. and wrong to prohibit
a man from voting because he is poor. learned
or loyal patriot may Lack properly million
aire may be traitor, or an ignoranlns.
5. In proportion as constituencies are limited
in. the right of suffrage, the chances and proba-
li,ilies of fraud and corruption nsthe represen-
tation are increased.
6. In republic of several cenfederated states
each individual in any state, should have the
same rights, and the same political power as the
individual in any other of these states.
T. With the Constitution of the United States
as it now is, negroes being excluded from vot-
ing and congressional representation. the same
as now,. the most ignorant rebel in South Caro-
,iua has twice and one fifth as much political
power in any presidential or congressional eee-
tion, as any man in Ohio.
8. To withhold suffrage from. the negro, is TO
deprive almost one seventh of the entire popu-
lation of the United States, from either direct
or indirect representation in the government
which they must obey and defend
0. This is to be the government OF whites.
It Ia also the government of about four and a
half millions of blacks. 1t is, and is to be,
their country and their government TheyhaVe
no other, they helped make it, they have help
cd defend il :; and If VIC will not permit them
to be for it. they viii be against IT,.
10. The same Almighty Power who made the
white man, made the black ran. Il is impious
TO- say one has ltss natural rights than the other
II. Negroes arc subject 20 civil and erin iasl
iate let every one go VINO can. 1t

TIE CoURsE.-It is announced that
the President means to rest awhile
This signifies that he intends to wait
until after the Penn and New York and
Ohio elections, and then, if the republi-
cans shall be defeated he will defy or
perhaps disperse Congress. Do the re-
publicans perceive the magnitude ard
gravity of the issue? VIII they see TO
it that the elections so result as not to
give the President popular endorse.

ALABAMA CLAIMs.-From further cor
respondence on the Alabama claims, says
the Tribune, it appears that the Derby
Cabinet, while willing to submit the
question Of settlement to arbitration, de-
cline to abandon the ground taken by
former Governments SO far as to admit
the liability Of claims, contending that
such liability has not been established
according to international law and usage.
The reference of the matter to arbitration
is made conditional by the Foreign Min
lister on a fitting arbitrator being found,
and on the two Governments being able
to come to an agreement as to the points
to which arbitration shall apply. AS the
m Utter stood when the correspondence
that has been published closed, the chief
difficulty in the way of settlement was
in the latter condition, Mr.. Seward argrl-
ing that the premature recognition by
the British Government of the Confed-
crate States as belhgerent Power prop
erly forms part Of the United States,
and Lord Stanly maintaining that it does
not. Until the concession herein de-
manded by Mr.. Seward is made, the Of
fer of arbitration is declined by the Uni
ted States Government. If both Gov
ments tenaneiously hold to the views
they have respectfully enunciated, it is
difficult to see when settlement of the
question will be reached in the way sug-
gested by Lord Stanley.

Mrs. SwIsHELM ON 'H. G."-In the
following. terse paragraph, this gifted
Lady, like PhaedrHs of old tells us the
whole story: ..
Mr.. Greeley may afford to be mag
naninous. He lost no husband or BROTH
er, or father, or son in the war. He lost
no limbs and carries no bullets or the
scar of them in his body. Neither he
nor his shivered on Belle Isle, or prayed
for death at Andersonville. 1t is easy
enough to forgive injuries committed a
gainst other folks. The tax, the war i'm
poses on him, is mere pittance to the
addition ii made to his ''bis." Of the
100000 be made by writing a record of
the rebellion, be can afford to give s., 900
to the head of the rebellion for furnish

But every one was not so fortunate.

are very nearly accurate and taken in connec-

sively that we cannot rely on our usual MAORI
ty this fall for the Constitutional Amendment
unless there is a great deal of labor performed
We have but little more than two weeks to

if our majority is not a large cne, The county

and righteous one, and has been urged forward
by this county, and now let us do our duty by
it. Democratic meetings and documents may
help along some in getting out the voters but
We need Ulion NEE ings and documents also.
