To the Editor of The y ■ Sir :As the Copperheads will not fallto take ad vantage, of every loopKoleor error tho Union men may nmke, In order to defeat the re-elbotion o f Akriham Linpoin, X hope you wlil call tke atten tion of Oeiterarbamoron and the State Committee at once to the following: s In lcoklng over-some papers from tho Interior, the other day, to see with what vigor the canvass was carried on; my attention was first' attracted to. the “ Electoral Ticket ” of the Somerset, Herald, by seeing tie name of Aaron Mull as the elector of the Eighth district, instead of William Taylor, at the head of that paper. On comparing the whole ticket with the one published In The Tress, I. found ten errors in the way of spelling names and of the letter of the middle names.’ The North, ’Amrican differs from The Press In the spelling of two names; the Beading Journal, tthoj'the West Cheater Republi can, twoi Norristown Hefald, two; Agitator, three. The dally'and' Sunday papers of Philadelphia all differ. In short, I have compared no paper, that is -the same. The great mistake Isln keeping on the name Of Jffitlf, instead o( Taylor, In tl» Eighth dis trict. The other errors are in the middle letters of. Jenks, Bunk, and Dick; in the spelling ofßumm. Is it Holliday or Holliday ;is it Reed or Read; is it Hall or Hale/ is It Elias W. Hall or Lewis W. Hall; is it M’Junkin or is It iff, Junkin. As the time is short, there should bo no delayin correcting the “ Electoral Ticket.” B. , West Ohbbtee, Oct. 17,1861, [Correspondence ofThe Press. 3 OOUKERI-OKT, PA., Oot. IT, 1891. We see by your editorial of the 14th that oar ftdehfls in the eastern section of tbe State are not pleased withthe.majorltlesof tire “Northern. Pier.” We do not believe you will thus find fault when you are made acquainted with : some circumstances in connection wlthonryote. The vote last year stood: Curtin, 1,470; Woodward, 619. This year, the vote ' stood thus: For Congress, Wilson, 902; Wright, 581, a reduction of 006 on the homo vote., This has hot been produced by-want of interest among the' people', but by voluntary enlistments into the army,' since last fall. It will be seen that the' Democratic vote has not suffered a proportionate reduotioh. It Is claimed, in explanation of this, by citizens of the county, that of the four or fire hun-" dxed enlistments during the year not one dozen of them are from the Democratic party, and promi nent Democrats have been challenged to produce the names oJ so many without being able to do so. Could the whole soldier vote have been taken, Pot ter would have given her usual majority. Knowing these facts, wo claim that you have ho right to be cuse us of lack of zsal in our country’s cause. The majority could not have been increased, no matter how earhest’ouf’effort'sl “Little Potter,” now, as in past times,ls wHiing to. do her fall 1 share iu'se curing an honorablb peace, whether It bo In the field or at 4H6 Wtobbox. M. W. M. 'The point madSJr it: is doubt- [The point ,py our correspondent doubt less entirely true of his county, ami we know that the losses in many otliors are caused by the enlist ment of TJniou men. The election throughout the State proves that the army has not the sympathy or support of the “ Democratic” leaders, and that the Union party has lost at least twenty thousand bal lots on the home vote, because It was only from its ranks that volunteers have been sent ] To the Editor of Ttie Press Si»« In a traitorous sheet of your city appeared - a few days ago a despatch from this county, written by a" notorious Copperhead, claiming the election or Martin L. Bechtel,v Independent candidate for Sheriff/ as a Democratic victory, to deceive out siders,-andf make them believe that we in Blair county have proven recreant to our faith. The Jaets are as follows: The Republicans had a regu lar nominee in the field, and the Democrats made no nomination—as we always are in large majority here, and it. would; be of no use. Mr. Bechtel, a very worthy and intelligent young man, who had been in the army two years, and lost his-right, aim at Gettysburg, at the solicitation of friends an nounced himself as Independent candidate, and was elected by about 300 majority, the/Democrats, voting for, him , aD< 3 a great mass of the Bepubliean party. Now, is that a Democratic victory, when our ‘ county, 'exclusive of the soldiers’ vote, gives a majority tor Barker, Congressman, of over iooi Tfio EcpublicaDS voted for Mr. Bechtel through sympathy ior his maimed condition, become .so in the service of his country. The Bepubliean party Is nbf"ihe,party.to forget the services of hersoldiers. On the other .hand, in nomination for County Treasurer, was a Mr. Stiteier, who also has lost one: arm in fightingthe battles of his country, and be it said to the disgrace of the Democratic party, they would not .and did not vote for him, because he was a Bepubliean and nominated by them.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE MARYLAND UNCONDITIONAL UNION STATE CONVENTION. ' ■ Tie following resolutions •wire = passed by tills body, which mot in Baltimore on Tuesday and nominated candidates for State officers, as an* nonneed in our despatches yesterday : - Resolved, By the representatives of the uncondi tional Union .-voters of the. State of Maryland in General Convention assembled:: First. That we do reaffirm and declare our un alterable determination to stand by the Cause of the country, and to stand by the Administration until this ■wicked rebellion has been crushed out, and every rebel made to bow in submission to the Con stitution and the laws, and every foot of territory brought under the dominion of the Federal Govern uicnt. ‘ ■ ■ Second. That we declare our purpose to secure by all means in our power the electoral vote of Mary land for Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, and to that end urge the loyal voters of the State to organize every where and secure these results. 'Third. That wo believe that In the re-election of Abraham. Lincoln the Constitution and the laws will bo rally vindicated ;• that the total and final overthrow of the rebellion will be more surely and completely accomplished, and a permanent peace more readily established than under any other pro posed Administration. . ; Fourth. That in the election of George B. McClel lan and George H: Pendleton the triumph of that principle of peace would be attained which, while it seeks,to throwaway for naught all the precious blood'that has been'spllt and all the brave lives that have been lost, seeks to recognize as an independent nation that band of traitors who have been the cause of all our national troubles, and whose peace: principles would last no longer than a fit opportu nity to "foment " another rebellion and precipitate another war. > Fifth. That we reeegnizo as pease men all those who have : any sympathy with treason or rebellion, and all who are in favor of a cessation of hostilities before this rebellion is crushed out and traitors made to feel the enormity of their crime. . Sixth That we condemn the course pursued by the Hon. Beverdy Johnson; but at the ,same time congratulate the Union men of the State that he -has loft us, and is now with the traitors to his coun try,-laboring for their success T that we are con vinced that we are bettor without l Aim, and that It will not be long before he will desert them and go -'over to some new party not ..yet in existence, but which he will espouse so soon as It may have birth; that the -opinion lately announced by him was, a: pretext for the rebel voters of .the State to swear to, ; , wilful perjury in order to defeat the Free State Con stitution'! and that high Heaven will hold him ac countable for the deed i and we Insist that the next ’ Legislature shall call on him to resign the position which .ho is-misrepresenting. - ....... . Serejiffe.'That wo congratulate the Union men of the State on the'adoptton of the Free State Constl, tutlon as one of the first fruits of this rebellion, and: as .one of the strongest evidences of the loyalty of her people, and their determination to wine "out forever the accursed evil that has been the source and cause of this rebellion, and to take a new start in her eareer lor commerce and wealth, with the principles of “ Freedom and Liberty to all men”, engraven on her brow. Eighth. That wo offer our earnest and heartfelt’ sympathies' to cur brave Maryland troops In the field, battling everywhere for the success of our arms; that we look with pride ou their acts of bra very and of heroism displayed on: every battle-field,; : and will ‘do.all in .bur power to induce the next Le gislataie to give them a substantial recognition of their services, as -an evidence that we are notun-, mindful ofthem, but appreciate their sacrifices. thk ruAce convention* at Cincinnati. Adespatoh to the Ha aid, dated Cincinnati, Octo ber 18,says: ' The Peace Convention met at Mozart Hall today,- sand sat with closed doors. About fifty delegates wore . present.' A temporary organization was effected by appointing Wm. M. Oorry chairman, and John Car hill secretary. , On motion of Alex. Long, the following were ap pointed a Committee on Permanent Organization: Oliver Brown, Geo. F. Boeder, and B.P. Churchill. On motiojKof General Singleton,the following were: appointed a Committee dnUSSOlutldM dfiu' Addresses: Hon. J. W. Singleton, of Illinois: J. J. Miller, oi Ohio; Joseph Snow, of Illinois; Alexan der Long, of Ohio; Lafe Devlin, of Indiana; W. Cornell Jewett, of Pennsylvania; A. M. Corry, of Ohio. . , Mr. Jewett submitted a resolution for the appoint ment of a committee offthree to report suitable can didates for President and Vice President, which was discussed till noon,"when the Convention toos a ■recess. , ; On reassembling the following permanent officers were reported: A.-M. Corry, ehairjnan ; S. A. Mil ler and Daniels. Dana, secretaries. Mr. Jewett's resolution waa-thon taken up and discussed, but ho action was bad. ' The Convention adjourned till to morrow, at ten A.-M., for.the purpose of giving the Committee on Besolutions time to prepare their report. ■* Ills understood that the nominations will he "made conditional. If either of the Presidential candi dates, Lincoln or McClellan, subscribes to the plat form, these nominatic ns will be withdrawn and peace men will Eupport him. The derogates are very bit ter on McClellan.- They complain that they were unhandsomely treated at'Chlcago and very scurvlly by McClellan. So delegate is admitted to the Con vention whodoes not sign a pledge that he will not support McClellan. They think his dawdling poli ties, like his shilly-shally in military policy, will only serve to prolong the war, and between the two prefer.,the sharp ana vigorous poltcy.of the Admin-' istratiOD as iikely soonest to bring peace Yallati digham peace men are not admitted. They are con siceicd ume r servers <>f the meanest sort of political worms, who will wriggle into any shapa for selfish purposes. ■ The platform will be fixed to-morrow, and no roinatic ns made on the (Jay aftmfc. Long is talked of as the candidate for President and Singleton for Vice President. : McClellan men affect to despise this movement; bat it is likely to make ho inconsiderable diver-, aion, unlcsß McClellan comes down from his war stilts. The chief, object of the Convention is to tiring such a pressure on.him as will bring'him up roundly to the support of the Chicago resolu tions. The Convention, In: its personnel, reminds one of old;time Abolition gatherings, with long haired fanatics in the ascendant. It is a queer affair in all respects. SPEECH OF MR. JOHN AV. FORNEY, SERENADE BY TIIK WASHING lON US lON LE AGUE, lie. Elections in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio. A PLEA FOR THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY On Saturday'evening last the Union League “of Washington pity serenaded Mr. John W. Forney, at the Chronicle office. A large number of persons had assembled in front of the building, and after the band had performed several airs, and a few re- marks had been made by Judge Edmonds, Commis sioner of the Land Office, Mr. Forney made the Iclffiwing speech: ; Fki,i,ow-Oountrymsn : 1 feel that I appear hcreto-night somewhat in an apologetic attitude, because I discover that there is some doubt as to thenctual poaition' ofj Pennsylvania in' regard: to tlie late election which took place In that State. There have been a-great many discussions and dis putes as to s whether the home vote Is with the Go vern mentor against it, and while I am not In the mood of explanation, I may say, that it becomes me, as a'son of Pennsylvanlay earnestly attached to the cause, to .which, you yourselves: are, earnestly at tached,to say that, in looking at the results of that flection, you have two things to consider: first, that in the last, year’s contest wo had some fifteen or eighteen thousand soldiers who were carried home from tho army to vots fbr Governor Curtin," and were .afterwards translated, baok to the army, where they are now, and that within the last three or four months we have sent some fifteen thousand additional citizenS ito swell the columns of the va- Nousleadersof the American forces; so that you will perceive we entered upon our contest under considerable disadvantages. And if we have seemed to! fall.off, it is simply in consequence,of the absence ofitheso braVe men," wlio;had'.they been home, would have thrown their votes incur behalf. Now, while I contemplate wilh unutterable satisfactlon the vic tories which have boenachievod by the patriots of Ohio, and? especially by the patriots of Indiana j cheers], to both of whom, and /particularly to the latter, be all honor, yet It is right that I-should say that the tine men oF-the Keystone State fought un-, der erormous disadvantages; and yet, gentlemen, .notwithstanding this, wo have gained a’stupehdouß I am not prepared at this moment to say whether we have a large majority on the home vote, but, whether wo have, or whether we, have not, this much Is true,* that the ’ soldiers—the men who have doubly entitled themselves to the right to vote—will cometp relieve us fromall difficulty, and that we shall have at least twenty-five thousand majority In favor of tlie Union ticket is clear and sure [cheers]*; and, moTe-thanthat; gentlemen, the verdict of- the October election lii Pennsylvania is the sure pre cursor of a great victory on the Sth of November. [Renewed applause,] Why, gentlemen, It amazes! me that there should he.any American, citizen who doubts-the re-election; of Abraham Lincoln. The fiat has gone forth. He is ' re-elected-to-day, and I am only sorry that Pennsylvania had not the op portunity of ranging herst If on the 11th of October,, by a larger majority, by the side of Indiana and of' Ohio. Look at it—contemplate It. No man, Ido not care how hitter and how virulent -he; may have been against the Union party and against the war, can deny to himself that Abraham Lincoln cannot possibly he defeated. Why, then, this contest ? .why, then; this 1 conflict? - Why should we have these violent assaults and these fierce antagonisms I For, after all, when you contemplate Kir, Lincoln’s Administration, what has it done 1 I stand to night immediately before the house once occupied by Dr. Garnett, a son-in-law or Henry A.;'Wise,' I stand'upon my own property—bought by my hard earnings, twelve years ;ago, in thiscity,-; This gentleman,Dr. .Garnett, was practicing (and I use his name simply to illustrate how much these men 1 have' lost by parting from the old Union) his prolessijß prosperously anil welly and was beloved, by his nwghbore. ; He was my personal friend for a long time," and a most excellent, physician. ~'When .this hellish rebellion broke out, however, impelled by that dreadful impulse which called so many good men from 'the old to the bad flag, 1 he th’rew'up his profession, left his .pleasant home, and went into the rebellion, and where he is now God only knows, but undoubtedly bankrupted and deprived of all that he might-have secured had he remained with his old Government. - This single andjsignal in stance illustrates exactly what these men have ac pomplished by’deserting:tfieir ;fiag.: Why, gentle men, if you look at the city of Washington you will pereeive that it Is a grand argument In favor of the Union; The; city itself, founded by Wash ington—the plan his—look at it.,- It is, the .very idea of a consolidated free Government. First of all comes Pennsylvania avenue, running; from thej Capitol to the' White House, named after! jthat? .Pennsylvania that we all; love and : all adore—that Keystono State selected by Washington as the grand artery which was to ieed all the Other States—that avenue is- the centre of the city; and observe how than wise and prescient statesman,-that good man, carried out the idea of obedience to the Kephblio—making the .States sub ordinate to the General Government;' Here you have Missouri avenue,' here New Jersey avenue, here Louisiana 'avenuey here New T#rk avenue, here Vermont avenue, a-nsl- bore you have Virginia avenue; each and all trlbutary to the common head., Do you perceive in this anything like secession? Did not this ' great man intend','when' he founded this city, to symbolize'Unlon—inseparable, unalter able', and eternal Union ? And are we-who stand here in ' the Federal capital, to-night to allow our selves to discuss the question that this Union can ever be dissevered 1 ; - a-. - . ! j ■ - I wIU not allow "myself to philosophize- upon this great question, but come to the important Issues that are belore us now. The carious aspect of,this- case to my mind'is; that the friends of G eneral McClellan should ever have permitted themselves to believe that the soldiers of the Amftioan army would vote against Abraham Lincoln p and yet they, have al lowed the&selves to believe that the men whom Mc- Clellan led to dciOat’and retreat would vote against the Chief Magistrate who had been Ms devoted, his resolute, and his determined friend! The most preg nant argument, tomy mind, in this canvass, is. to he found in the votes thrown by the soldiers of the Repubiio in the recent election. If any man or wo. man desires convincing proof as to the right , side of this question, they h%veonlyto look at the,votes cast by those who l have fought, the'battles of the Republic. These are arguments far more signifi cant and Tar' more;eloquent than any speeches that could be made. : These brave men ; have read the aspect of the times—they have read the'arguments made,, pro and con—and observe how they’vote. Now, your vote or my vote’ may be interesting or decisive as far as it goes; but when you sea a regi ment composed of nine hundred men, eight hundred ol whom throw their votes in favor of Mr. Lincoln and against General McClellan, you have the con clusive proof that those who fight the battles of the country understand what they arc fighting for. [“ That’s so!”] It is a very easy thing for a politi cian'to say, and It was a very easy thing for the gen tlemen who supported General McClellan to say, that the soldiers of the Army of the Potomac were the warm friends of General McClellan. Observe, gentlemen, that the.friends of that youthful, indis creet, and most quarrelsome officer had every op portunity • offered to; canvass the. army. The Ad ministration of ther General Government allowed them tq Eend their commissioners among the troops to state their case and to ask them to give their votes ;' and yet, notwithstanding thousands of Demo crats were to be found in the army, the proportion of the votes cast in; the; recent election was about eight to ten ImTavor of the Union tickets of Penn sylvania, Indiana,'and Ohio. ■ We are not here discussing this question as parti sans:; v e are not here to ask Mr.. Lincoln's re-eleo tlon because he was nominated as the Republican: candidate; we are here to appeal to the: American people to consider'the question as It relates to their own present, future, '.and [eternal interests ; and hence it is, that when these men who have. fought: the battles of the Republic votejfor Abraham Lin coln, it is our dnty to accept .their judgment ,as, better than our own. After all, it must appear to you that ho who-fights for’a country has a right to vote for a country. The most extraordinary pro position of modem times is that, when a man goes out to offer up his life to the Republic lie thereby forfeits his right to vote for tho-Ropublic, and we are indebted l'or.this hovel philosophy to George B. I McClellan and his.frienda. The only party in this country that dentes the right o£ the soldier to vote . for the Republic Is: thejiarty that how'supports Georgeß. McClellan. The only party in any of the liee States that has -voted against- the' right of the soldier to sustain the Government for which he is -fighting, is the party that rallies under the flag of George'' IJ. McClellan. In my own State; ninety - thousand Democrats—no, not Democrats, for I prbfess to belong to the old Demo- CTatio anti-slavery EChool, but ninety thousand who • call themselves. Democrats—voted -to prevent the brave men who have perilled their lives from voting for their country. In the days of Rome and in the days of Greece; the soldier who fought for the repub lic beeamesaered.,; He was brought home an object, of veneration/ and idolatry. When he entered the ' city, troops of citizens came out to great him,; and he was honored and worshipped. Poets sang his praises and orators pronpuneed harangues upon; his: character. Now we have a new heraldry, and; the friends of George B. McClellan are the authors o it. It amazes me, it alarms me, that.in this era when men read newspapers, and send their chil dren to school, there * should be anybody who doubts the right path In this fearful crisis. It has been a fashionable practice in this immediate vicinity, and every other vicinity where this;foul and festering curse of slavery has been permitted to live, to laugh at the victories of the Republic; to sneer at the blue coat as it passes along;our streets,. and’ to look with contempt upon that glorious emblem which, to .my mind, after-God,is the best svmbol of DivmltyU'l have to say to these mtse i ; rabler people’ that-.they ought to thank God; that they are privileged-to live.within;the,halo of that glorious banner. They receive our bounty; they - take the oath we stuff into them; they break it. So far as I am concerned, 1 trust the time will come when they will see such another uprising and pros-, perity here as will convince them that we tolerate ' slavery and tolerate those who sustain It only be cause we are ' not as barbarous as they have proved themselves to be. I speak strongly, because I feel strongly. I speak that which iB In me, because It is always better to speak that'which is in the heart than allow it to rankle there. But I confess, gen tlemen, when I see how these people have prospered : under our Government, I ask myself whether this is the chivalry, whether these are the people'who are a great deal better, than' anybody else. lam a mudsill; ! confess It squarely here. [Applause.] I have worked myself to what 1 am—whatever there is of hard rrvl-K; out I tell you, mudsill that l am. J would live under a Government I hdt£u—beiore I would take an oath to a Rower I despised—l would crawl to Europe, change my name, and become a, galley-slave. But there are many people In the Northern States, and there are many people in Washington, who do' not feel* thus. There are many people who are honest;, honorable, and patriotic, for these I have a profound and sincere respect. Now, gentlemen, talking about this thing of coercion and arbitrary arrests, T;know l am talking, if.-not'to" a Washington audience, at least to some who are* Washingtonians. They talk of Mr. Lincoln’s oppression. Ido not think Wash ington has ever been half as happy as It *is to-day. [Cries: of “That’sso;”J, I have known Washing ton for twenty years; and, in the olden time, in. the summer season, It used to be. almost as dead as the Desert of Sahara. [Laughter.] I have never seen at any previous period so many buildings going up, so many thoroughfares made, iso many street : railrt ads—indicating progress.; All this is the re- ■ suit of Mr. Lincoln’s oppression; all this the re sult of arbitrary arrests ; all this the result of this infernal Abolition Administration. Why, gentle men, it is unnecessary to argue this, question. The case is to plain that I am ODiy in doubt whether I am right in discussing It before;'you.. fortunately iorus, and fortunately for the country, 'the case is adjudicated [ the wholematteris disposed of; Mr. Lincoln is re-elected; Let me, however, before I close, call your attention, for a moment, to the ef fect of the recent vlctorlesupon ouroause In different reetiins of the country, and in the world Itself. Nothing can give more encouragement to the Union men in the Southern States than the recent elec tions in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.' Suppose tomorrow we should have a separation of the Union; suppose the so-called Confederacy should be recognized; what would become of the Union men : of the South— of-those brave men who have contend: ed from the first for the old flag 1 They, would be re ferred back not’ only to a position of servitude, but to a position of, persecution. And, furthermore, what would become of the poor roleasod slaves'! They themselves would be reierred back to a worse slavery than ithey have.ever before endured; The results of the elections have given to these Masses immense encouragement. But, more than this,look •at their results abroad. Foreign Powers that have especied our division for the. purpose of allowing tbtm to"interiere In our quarrel, find themselves undeceived. It is impossiole to estimate the con- sequences of. this great victory, Suppose, instead or nay 'standing before you, telling ygu of the great victories 1 whioh have .been accomplished la Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Ohio, I should be here to-night for the purpose of raising: your drooping spirits, and telling you that In the Novembereleotlon. we had another and a harder battle to fight. Do you suppose that those foreign Powers wonld not accept a oecieo against the Government in this election as on invitation to them to interpose with armed inter-; ventlbnl Undoubtedly so. As an evidence, that this fact is appreciated, let me call your attention to the vote of the city of Philadelphia. That city has given a majority of nearly eight thousand'votes in favor of the Union ticket.,. [Applause.] : From that city there wg nt forth over twenty-five thousand men into the armies of the Republic. At the election last year, Governor Curtin had, I think, about eight thousand majorlty in the city; so you will see, sub tracting the twenty thousand votes from the column of last year, we must have had a large acoesßion from the patriotic men of other organizations to give ns this victory. And why has ltbeen sol. Because there was not a patriotic man or woman'in the town : who ..was not directly Interested in the result. One had a son or a brother In tho army; another had a son or a brother killed. Tho recollection of those v.’ho had died' and the love of those who live in spired them to sustain the old flag. OtherS had fnyested their little earnings in’;the Government; loan; And when-the election day came around we found, to our amazement, that while dur friends and relatives were off to the battles, there were others behind to remember them. We had nearly 8,000 majority! .There are arguments that convince and cor quer. They, cannot be answered, I care not to what party a man may belong, when he sits himself downto discuss this great question with himself- he must be conquered in the end. After all, ladies and gentlemen, God ia'wilh us. This cause is not a po litical cause',lt is not a party cause; it is a religious eause; it is the cause of God. He has tried.us se verely.*; Three years and more of battle and blood; three years, it may be, of alternate;defeat and; gloom; sometimes of despair. It has seemed to me, at 1 times, as if He had:-deserted iis, and I confess it that-, In; my eager, earnest, and profound love of my country, I doubted whether there was a God. But He has been with us all the time.; ;Ha has been the leader of our-army and: the admiral of our navy.' He has been with us from ; first to lafct. Sorely tried, ladmit. dreadfully; tiled; yet the right Is about to prevail, His handappeared id.the Ohio; Indiana, and Pennsylvania elections. [Applause.] He is abojit to disclose himself, in His,,terrible majesty; in the conquest of Richmond. [Applause.] He has ordained it. More blood,may have to flow— this, infernal .institution of slavery, and its .myr midons will continue to howl, and hunt, and haunt us, but at the last w.e will prevail. V It. may be r that the war may,have to last another. year, and that those who'continue to assail this Government may have for the time being to' bo subjugated ; but the work will be dono. [Applause.] Observe,.gentle men; how:the Administration oi Mr. Lincoln has. been assailed and insulted; Every conceivable and inconceivable calumny has' been heaped upon it. - Nothing that human ingenuity; could* invent has; failed to be resorted to. From the moment that Mr, Lincoln’s-life - was i threatened,-when* he had to 1 come into this city in disguise to assume the Presidential chair, j dowu; "to the present hour, the institution of slavery—for-it-has been nettling else—has been assailing him. The poison of slavery has? infected every, community, North and South. And yet behold how we have tri umphed. Why, the squadrons of tlie-*Union army not in tne field.have been as irresistible as the squad* rons of the Union army in* the field. - They might * as well-attempt to tear the great moon shining in the-sky to-night out of the firmament as to attempt to destroy the American Union. [Applause,] Wo, can afford to' be lenient wlth those who do not sea the hand of God in this mighty struggle. I owe you my thanks for this compliment, gentlemen; not, I will say, because it was-unexpected, but because it is agreeable. I am standing now In front of the office of The Daily 'Msming.Chronicle, ,:an.-independent newspaper, established not so much, to sustain the Federal-Administration as to oppose human slavery. [Applause ] This' establishment; "and 'my other establishment, in Philadelphia,are.the result of a conscientious opposition to that infernalinstitution. I may have'but a very few years to.-live, but all that is left of me—whether of brain or body, of purse or person—will be given to this cause, to tne hitter and to the lastlßß end.

Gbkatkess of the OtD Union.—The Richmond Dispatch of the 15th contains the following editorial: The desire of Secretary Floy d to engage the oomi try in a great foreign war was a very natural desire on the part of a man who believed that a foreign war alone could prevent the dissolution of the Union. Yet we think it fortunate for the South, at least, that he did not succeed. It could only have postponed the separation, without rendering it im possible. The dav was destined to arrive, and sooner orlater it ivouM have bronght in its train all the, evils and inconveniences that, belong to it. Postponement , we are disposed to think, would only have added to our difficulties. - We should have been victorious in any war which we should have waged with any European Power. The enormous armies which the two sections have brought into the field, and the; unparalleled , obsti nacy with which they liave fought, leave no doubt whatever of that fact. No European Power coula have blood before the combined strength of the whole country, once known as the'JJnited States, The navy was. It is true, confined to a few ships; hut in the course of a two y ears’war it would probably have, reached the number of a thousand. It would have ‘swept that of either France or! England from the ocean. It is probable that, io the beginning of the war, Franco or England might have landed an , army upon! our shores. But events, have , clearly shown that it could not have sustained - Itself here for one week; let its size have been what it might. . The navy, having ba oome irresistible, a million of men, if necessary, could have been thrown on the shores of. either France or Great Britain, and neither Prance nor Great Britain, let them vapor as they may, could have withstood the onset of such an army. Of course, Canada would have gone overboard, at the very first rush, for Great, Britain, so far from de fending her, is anxious even how to give her away to the Yankee. ■" That we are not drawing upon our imagination we think the gigantlo proportions of the present war sufficiently indicate. What might hot the whole country united have done 1 ... The United States wouia have como out of such a war with a high reputation, a mighty army, and an Invincible navy i .As was the case in the Mexican war, the South would have done all the fighting, and the Yankees would have taken all the profit and claimed all the glory. They would have taken , all the navy; and as much of the army as they could have induced to join them. Their resources would, have been multiplied beyond measure, and their; ! 'arrogance would have grown far beyond even their actual acquisition of wealth, and power. They would not have failed to assert, more-oQ'en slvely than ever, their mission to settle the affairs of thr whole earth, and more especially those of the Southern States. The Black Kepublloan party would still have been predominant—would still have insisted upon their mission—would still have persevered in their determination to ignore the rights of the States, and to make them all bend to their will. Separation and war would still have been inevitable. "Weshould still have been com pelled to meet the Yankee hosts in the fields, and that, too, under far greater disadvantages than'we actually encountered when the war-began. Sup. poEe they had had in the beginning such' an, army and such a fleet as they now have. There is hardly a possibility that wc could have resisted them, ut terly unprepared as we then wore for war. Snob an anny and such a fleet they would, have had, had there been a war with Great Britain in TESS, as ' there was very near being. We regard It as pro vidential that it did not take place.

"From the hondon. Tames of Oct. 8 1 The reports of the victory gained by General Sheridan at Winchester -on the 19th of September are confirmed by the last intelligence, with an im portant addition. The Federal- commander was able to follow up his advantage, pursue the retreat ing Confederates, and renew the attack. It is one of the very few instances that have occurred during the war of a success .Immediately turned to such account. Wo might almost say it is the only example. The first battle of the war—Bull Knn— gave the Confederates an advantage they could not, at least did not press, and they • thereby missed- a* chance of taking Washington, much as the Allies missed an. opportunity of a similar kind after the battle of the Alma. Antietam was claimed by the FederaJs as a victory, but it left them unable (o molest the well-conducted retreat of the Con federates; McClellan’s movement on Elchmond was baffled, but he, saved his army. Hooker was signally defeated at Fredericksburg, but notwith standing hisbeavy losses,-withdrew his troops during the night unpursued.. Grant’s battles in his circuit of Richmond in this summer’s campaign wasted his forces, but each-repulse left him able to form a new plan of operations. Of so many engagements the result has been doubtful or Indecisive, aothat the details of the battle of Winchester are likely to be more distinctly remembered than those of greater conflicts. . . • We learn nothing of the first action,in addition i.o the particulars received by the first report, ex cept -ah estimate of the Federal losses, now said ~to‘have amounted to 4,500 in killed and wounded. The number appears probable from the desperate character of the fighting towards thedose of the day, when for a short time the Confederates had the advantage.: The .Federate were twice broken by the fire ot the masked batteries, -which, an eye witness states “ mowed them down ” by hundreds. The battle seems to have been won t by- superior, generalship. Sheridan selected the moment for attack with great judgment. The Confederate forces were extended from - Martinsburg southward to Winchester, a" line'more than twenty.miles in length; After the attack it was too late to bring the scattered divisions together. One-corps was; able to : arrive on the field, in consequence of the advance of several Federal regiments having been: “ accidentally delayed,” but General Early could not collect all his strength for effectual resistance. : The very : large Humber of prisoners taken by the Federate proves the want of combination and sup port on the Confederate side, while the fact that eight of the Southern generals were killed and wounded speaks to the severity of the fight. Gen. Early retreated through the town of Winchester during the night of the 19th and the following day. That his enemy should have been capable of fol lowing closely is what distinguishes this engagement from so .many others. .On the 2lst the Confederates made a stand at a point named Fisher’S Bill, about three miles south of Strasburg, on a branch of the Shenandoah river. The official reports state that this point is thirty miles south of , the field of battle, but this must bolts extreme dis-. tance. It is also described as a strongly entrenched position,-though, unless previously strengthened, „ the Confederates, alter such a retreat", must have worked with Incredible activity to have constructed any defences worth; naming. Here "General Early was attacked* by the -Federate in the afternoon of the-21st.

The Indians in Colorado—Proclamation ■ of Cot. Evans. TheioUowing proclamation has been issued by Gov. Evans, of Colorado : '. . Having sent special messengers to the Indians of the plains, directing the friendly to rendezvous at Fort Lyon, Fort Larned, Fort .Laramie, and Camp .Cofiina, f fer safety, and protection; warning them that all hostile Indians would be. pursued and de stroyed, and the last of said messengers having now returned, and the evidence being conclusive that most of the Indian tribes of- the plains are at war, and hostile to the whites, and having, to the utmost of my ability, endeavored to induce all of the In dians of the plains to come to said-places of rendez vous, promising them subsistence and protection, ■which, with a few exceptions, they have refused to How, therefore, I, John Evans, Governor of Co lorado Territory, do issue this my proclamation, au thorizing ail citizens of Colorado, either individual ly or in such parties as they may organize, to-go in pursuitof all hostile Indians on. the plains, scrupu lously avoiding those who have responded to my. said call to rendezvous at the points indicated, also to kill and destroy -as enemies of .the country, wherever they mav be found, all suoh hostile In dians, r And- farther, as the only reward I am an thorized to offer for such services, I hereby empower sueh citizens, or parties of citizens, to take captive, and to bold to their own private use and benefit, all, the property of said hostile Indians that they.may capture, and to receive for all stolen property re covered from said. Indians such- reward as may be deemed proper and just therefor. , .. I further offer to all, such parties as will organize under the militia law of the Territory for the t>ur pose,'to furnish them arms and ammunition, and to present their accounts for pay as regular ,soldiers for themselves, their, horses, their subsistence and transportation, to Congress, under the: assurance oi the department commander that they will be paid. - - -■ • - The conflict is upon us, and all good citizens are called upon to do their duty for the defenee of their homes and families. - • .

We occupied a first-class compartment of the Glasgow carriage. The train had barely. started when we saw a man’s hand pushed out from below the seat opposite, im mediately followed by his head and body. In a mo ment he was standing before us, saying; ‘Believe me, gentlemen, I am hot a Muller,’ followed by a long story of Ms being in-consumption and wanting "to-go to Stafford, as he said, I to die.’; I fancy he then found he made a mistake; three to one were odds he had not calculated upon, and after some pleasant conversation* wo got him to take his old position, much to our gratification. We had two ' nours before us before the train would: stop. To com municate our position to any was impossible, the train going forty miles an hour at least,-At last we arrived at Ilugby, and when we; called : the guard, and: he removed our fellow-traveller, I can assure you it was some relief. Had there been hut one of us, or had there been only ladles, perhaps he might have said, ‘ I am 'another- Muller,’ and have acted in the same way. At any’ rate, we were all thank ful to get out of it so well and rid of such a com panion.” --- ■ V fHMCIAL AM COMMEBCIAIt. ; Gold fluctuated yesterday between 211 and 209, repre senting the opening and closing figures.
