iiiir Next Tuesday is election day
The present, condition of our National
.!. affairs makes this election, which un
der other cirenn.ustances would be hut
an ordinary one, of considerable im
portance. The "Union must and shall
) be preserved," and to do so treason and
! rebellion must be crushed. The gov
i ern men t looks to the people for an en
i {lorsement of its efforts in the accent
'i plishment of that object. At the bal
lot-box is the place where the people
'truly and significantly speak. .11eUce
the verdict recorded through the bail
,'l. lot-boxes next, Tuesday Will be keenly
1 examined.
In Pennsylvania no State election
ii takes place this year, but the opinion
II! of the people will have to begatbered
:;' from the votes east for the various
county offices and members of the
' Legislature.
In Lebanon county we haVe two
tickets presented to the voters for
4 .
V, their endorsement—one made by a
Itil.spartizan assembly and of the usual
partizan character; the ether by a
4 Union Convention of al{ parties, and
'`.which will be supported by Demo
t
t)erats, Republicans and Americans in
i discriminately, who have laid aside
,I , party feeling and party attachments
for the present, and 'whose only ob
ject is "Union for the sake of the Un-
io .
There need be no appeal to the yo
'tars "to come out." All who appre
ciate the importance of the present
.election will rally to the polls with an
unusual enthusiasm. Let every man
do his own thinking, and vote accord
ing to the promptings of his own
heart, and the popular verdict will be
ight. In the hands of the viiters we
leave tbis Matter; feeling confident,
however, that they will record such a
verdict in this county for the - Union
'ticket, next Tuesday, that will prove
an era in its history. There are ma
ny reasons why it should be so, but
the time for argument.is now past—
the time for action is at hand:
Siar Gov. Curtin has issued a pros
amation prohibiting el tizens of Penn
sylvania from enlisting in companies
.r regiments raised for or iu other
'States, under any authority but such
s may be authorized by this State.
itir Voters of . the Union ticket
vill examine their tickets carefully,
nd see that they conform with the
icket published at the head of our
aper.

1 17IIE UNION TICKET.
Ma. Emron,:—The people in this
part of the county alb ; want' to unite
on the Union ticket, because in sup
porting that they can give the adinin
istration the most effective suppoilt.—
And if all men were willing to subor
dinate private interests to the public
good, the straight ticket would not
get many votes in this county.
But the Union iiatet.io opposed by
what is known in the country as the
"Court House Clique," because - it efts
formed by the people,
and if' itsec=-
ceods, their own tic ket, formed by_
them, in the main more-:than. a •month
before the convention lnet, will have to'
go down. This wOuld utterly destroy
their power, break up their selfish and
despotic ring, and again secure the
political power of the eonnty to the,
people; where it justly belongs.
It is a tact well known through the
county, that no honest man can be
nominated fbr any County - office worth
having, if ho does not at first secure
the good will of this clique, and to do:
this he must Enrrender, his manhood
and consent to become, ;a willing- in
strument in their. hen& for any pur
pose they choose to use, him. If he
has too much self-respect for this,,they
will ignore his claims, and he . cannot,
get upon the ticket. , ilundreds 0: the
very best; men of the party know,t4is.
from their own experience, anchys.ap ;
peal to:them to :verify what we, have
hero said. , . • :- „
By supporting, the, n ion ticket, we
can, therefore accomplish two, objects,
viz : unite and harmonize the people,.
and secure their .unanimous. support
of the administration,. and in fay.or, of
a vigorous, prosecution;: of thee war,•

REPUBLICAN .OF JACKSON
F M
. or e'
HOW THE STRAIGHT TIOKET
WAS FORMED:: : .
. It was well knoWn for monfls' be
fore the convention met,' that , thOSe
of this borough 'Who ' compose what
is commonly known as the "Court
House Clitne" thrOughout the county,
were determined , to nominate Mr.
Shantz for Sheriff. ' 'He was their pet,
and for hiM every othercandidate be
-the convention would have been
sacrificed. It was so declared by,
them week's before the 'confention ,
met. Mr. Bender, who had also an ,
nounced himself as a candidate fpr
that offiCe; was much too strong for
Shantz through the county. Outside
of this borough, he Ivould havegot
three votes' to Shantz's one, a i
:and n a
fair race for the nomination the latter
would have been beat out of sight.—
Ho consequently could only be put
on the ticket by utterly ignoring and
defying the wishes of the people, and
this was deliberately resolved upon
weeks before the call for the Cotinty
Convention was issued.
Of course they required the co4Te
ration of some of the other candidates
to do this, and these for the sake of
making their own neminatiOn, cheer
fully hlped them.
On the day of the convention,those
candidates who were in the ring brought
their delegates for themselves only, and
these were then combined by the wire - -
pullers here, and the ticket they have
nominated is the restillef their actien.
Some candidates before that con
vention, were of course defeated,' but
a number of them willingly acquiesced
in this and helped to carry out , the,
programme previously fixed up by
the Clique; becaUse liberal promises to
help them next time, were made them.
Will the voters of Lebanon county
support a ticket. thusforined? 1 think
not. ANTI-CLIQUE REPUBLICAN.
For the Actrertiscr
JUDGE RANK.
The-principle of , -"rotation in office"
is strongly urged• against this gentle
man- by the straight voters. They
will of course-resort to Anything to
help their ticketit ut , this argument,
we think, does not , make much in
their favor.
Judgo Pearson has„been nominated
and elected time and again, and yet
nobody bears of any objection to him
on this ground.
The experience which Judge Rank
has acquired on the bench will make.
Mint so much more useful to the pub
lic, and if ho has hitherto faithfully
served the public, why should he be
turned out now simply to make room
for another who has , had no such ex
perience. ~',
The offices are made for the public
benefit, and not for office seekers, and
whenever the community has a com - -
potent and faithful officer;. it is bad
policy to turn him out to make room
for another because ,"zonation in of.
flee" requires IL
Would a farmer, merchant orother
business man who bud hired a servant
or clerk for a year, turn him out When
that year was up, if he gave satisfac
tion, simply to make room for another?
Clearly not, if he had respect: to his
own interests; and so the public
should act in regard to the Offices.
THE UNION TICKET
The great body of the American people love .
their governinent,—and well they may, because
its equal can nowhere' be found since civil insti
tutions have been known toexist among_mankind.
The sages and patriots of the revolution guid•
ed by profound foresight, and the loftiest patri
otism have founded it upon the fundamental
principles of justice and equality, and so long as
morality, and a love of liberty, dwell id the
hearts of their descendants they will cherish it
with unfaltering devotion. .
History details the,dangers and sufferings whir/
our forefathers. have encountered before it was
securely established, and in the • eventful war
which preceded it, the interposition of Divine
Providence, in behalf of en infant people, then
struggling for their independence may be clearly
discerned. Thankfulness to God, and ,gratitude
to them, independent of self interest, and, paren
tal affection would naturally prompt them to make
every sacrifice which the moat ardent love of
country could evoke, to preserve for themielies
and their children that happy systein of govern.
meet thus prepared to - their hands. Tuts was
not doubted; but it was feared thatattachment
to party into which the people necessarily would
become divided—would unduly incite their pas

THE WAR INTMISSOURT.
fihe Surrender of te.-eington
Ilim.soir, MO., Sept. 23.--The folloWino
aeomint of the Siege of Leiiington is furn..
ished 'to the St Louis Republirait by
Henry Bradburn, one of Col. Mulligan's
soldiers, who left Lexington on Saturday
morning.
The fort was surrendered on Friday
afternoon. The men fought for . 'fifty-aine
hours yithout water, and had only three
barrels of vinegar to quench their thirst
During all that time there were no
springs or wells of water in the camp
ground, as hes ,been stated. The' supply`
of water was entirely from the riirer.—
There were breast Works all around the
I camp,, with the exception of the portion
next to the river. It was here that the
hardest fighting took place,
The Rebels procured a large-number of
•
hempbales and rolled them in advance,
and under their cover gradually; succeeded
in securing a position in the rear."'They
then cut off the supply of water and had
the fort completely surrounded: 1
They made but few charges upon the
breastworks dw ing the entire
Their object seemed to, be to surround
the fort and cut off the supply of water.
Having succeeded in this, they waited , ,
unit Col. Mulligan was compelled to yield
to a foe more terrible than the 27.000 reb
els who surrounded him. Previcius to his
surrender he offered to take a position on
'a level spot of ground and give Gen. Price
the odds of four to one in a - fair and open
fight, but no attention was paid to it.
An immense amount of gold, supposed
to be about a quarter of a million of dol
lars, fell into the possession of the rebels.
It was taken from the Banks and buried
by Col. Mulligan in the camp ground,
some time ago, but the rebels discovered
and'unearthed it.
Col. Mulligan wept like a child, when
he found himself compelled to surrender.—
The morning alter the surrender, the men
were.relmsed on parole, and * ferried across
the river. The officers were retained. -
The-first attack -or-the rebels . proved
more disastrous to them than the long
siege which followed.% For a day or two
previous to-the last attack they were en
gaged in-btirying their dead.
PARTICULARS OF THE BATTLE
OF LEXINGTON
ST. Lotus, Sept. 25.—Lient. Harris, of
Col. Marshall's Illinois cavalry, who was
in the battle of Lexington, has arrived
here. He states that he disguised him
self in the uniform of the enemy, after the
surrender and passed through their lines,
escaping without taking the obligation. -
' He reports that a large amount of gold,
seven cannon, forty-five - hundred rifles
and•muskets, the equipments OfMarshall's
and Mulligan's regiments, 'a number of
wagons. and a considerable quantity of
provisions, fell into the hands Of the rebels.
On Wednesday, thel9th, General Price
having been reinforced by Green and
Harris f commenced a most determined
attack. The fight lasted from 9 o'clock
on Wednesdarmorning till 4 o'clock on
Friday afternoon. during which time the
fighting was so incessent that our men
had neither time' to eat or sleep, and water
was very sca.rce.,-

ARREST OF JAMES B. CLAY AIM OTHERS
AT CINCIENATI.-A dispatch, dated Cin
cinnati, Sept. 26,1861, says
"Yesterday, afternoon : Lieutennnt - - 020111 ,
onel Letcher, with a detachment 1:11 Col..
Wood %yard's' regiment, captured James 11, 1
Clay, with sixteen of his then: - while on

THE STRENGTH OF THEREBRT.S.
A Confederate officer, lately taken psis.
oner, says'that the strength Of: the rebel
armies before Washington, under Beaure
gard and Johnston, is not less than the
highest estimate that has been made—
,namely: Beauregard's, 90,000, at Fall's
'Church, Munson's Hill, and near Alexan-.
dria ; and Johnston's, 85,900, at the mouth
of Goose creek, near Lewinsville and near
Ball's Cross Roads; that not only Beaure
gull and Johnston, but also Jeff Davis
himself, have been on Munson's Hill, where
they have an excellent view of Washing
ton, of all the roads leading to it, and of
all the fortifications that have-been thrown
up to defend it ; that while the _rebel lead-
have abandoned the idea of 'attacking
Washington, they are satisfied that their
own works are of such strength that the
Union army will not venture to attack
them ; that _they have been diligentlY oc
cupied, ever since they took possession of
IVlunsod's Hill, in fortifying not only that
hill, but alSo Mason's Hill to the North,
and Upton's Hill to the south, and in mak
ing a complete line of fortifications, nearly
parallel to our outer line of defences; from
Lewinsville to Springfield:station, near Al
exandria ; that there is not a hiil along
this whole line that is not crowned with
a. fortification or redoubt of more or less
strength, ace: riling to the importance of
the place; that every road and defile lead
ing from Washington toward Fairfax and
Manassas is commanded by batteries
mounted by guns of long range, that can
sweep them in every direction; that the
rebel leaders are satisfied that these nu
merous defensive works are ofsuch strength
that the Union army will not dare attack
them, and will be successfully repulsed if
they do ; that they believe the Union army
in Washington, including the columns of ,
Banks and Stone, on the Upper Potomac, I
and of Cen Sickles,, below the city;
mounts to 200,000 rnen; that Beauregard
and. Johnston are well.satisfied to remain
where they are all_ winter, •if they (-an keep
the Union army in Washington , that
while the two armied . thus remain in statu
quo the integrity of the line of the Potomac
remains inviolate, and that 'the South does'
not desire more than that to be accom-.
plished by Beaure,,oard 'or Johnston ; that
the rebels believe.that Washington cannot
be defended by less , than 200,000 troops , ;
for that the moment that any considerable
part of that force is withdrawn for offen
sive movements elsewhere, Beauregard
and Johnston will attack it, crossing the
Potomac on the ice, if in the winter time.
