`WE nLVR a number of letters from
Mends, asking whether they shall tele
graph us on the night of the election,
giving us the returns. of their respective
counties. To these several inquiries we
make ,this answer—every despatch sent
- by the, friends of the cause in different
'parts of the State, and elsewhere, will be
gladly and gratefully received. In every
case let
* them give us the gat is or losses
over the Ootober vrne for Congressmen.
Let Every Man do. his Duly.'
Friends, the battle has been fought—the
campaign is closed—the issue is with you.
Shall the Republic live or die You must
decide this to-day. Appeal is at an end.
No more of entreaty or suggestion. No
more of argument. All along the line we
lave heard the note of battle—the cry of
pieparation — the snapping of lock—the
* Zlick of hammer and trigger—the tearing of
the cartridge. To-day the line will ad
vance, Let every gun cover a foeman, and
see thirt he falls. If w ego into the election
with such a spirit, this day will be the mOsto
glorious that ever covered the hills of Co
lumbia with its sunshine. We must re-
member that unless we prove true to this
sentiment, all our victories will be as the
• dust of dead men in forgotten graves. One
hour of faltering - J now may endanger the
Republic. The , glory of years may be.
dimmed in, a day—and to our care the
glory of this long, bloody, and exacting wai
. is committed to-day. If this were an ordi
nary election, with no result but the giving
and taking of oftices,.and none were imme-:
diately interested but those who live on .
the bounti of the Government, we should
feel not even' a general interest, for in a
contest for self-preservation it is of but
little moment what becomes of mere men.
It is with all earnestness, therefore, that
we ask our friends to remember that upon
their votes to-day depend the iesults of
these many glorious wars. The enemy has
made a bold canvass. He demands power
in order to remedy what he is pleased to call
- the " crimes " and "mistakes" and "fail
-ures ".of the past four years. He has pro
claimed his purpose with audacity. Four
years of war have ended in a failure ?
He will end the war. Our vast debt is
unjust.? The debt will be repudiate& Our
just and prudent taxation is criminal and
oppressive? He will abolish the taxes.
Military men like McCumraw, FITZ JOHN
PORTER, and NAGLER have been treated
with persecution ? They will be placed
again in high command—your GRANT
sent back to Cairo in. disgrace, and your
SHERMAN, the man " whose calm persist
ency seems more like a law of nature than
an effort of the human will," will be re
turned to St. Louis as an incompetent
, commander. The machinery of the Go-
Ternment, enlarged and strengthened . to
~,xneet_thp,.. present great emergency by
the wisdom of your tried servants,
will - be in , the hands of reckless
and hungry men, who come into power
avowedly to devour our substance and de
stroy our work. They have told you that the
experiment of war is "a failaie." Friends,
ponder on this declaration, written by the
defiant and insolent VALLANDIGIIAIf, and
enthusiastically endorsed by the whole
Chicago Convention. This has been your
war. Your brothers and sons have fought
it. Your money has carried it on in tri
umph. The honor of your flag has been
defended. Your homes have been pre
served from the spoiler. The country
whose allegiance you are proud to own
has been made glorious in the eyes of the
world. Gettysburg, Hilton
.Head, Chat
tanooga, Atlanta, Corinth, and a hundred,
proud and illustrious names, have gone
into your history—a4listory which you are
asked to abandon and dishonor. Has Npur
war been a failure'? This question you
- must answer to-day. You must say whether
this policy shall become the proclaimed
policy of the country, with an unsuccessful
major general and a persistent and ad
venturous politician as Its exponents. Mc-
CLEW...4I4'S election will be a confession
that this war—your war—is a failure, and -
assuch will be hailed with joy by DAvis
.and his anxious Cabinet of despairing ad
'Venturers, as well as by NAPOLEON and
the Men of December, who came into
power by a crime only equalled in history
.by the crime of the conspirators at Rich
mond. Shall we contribute to that tri
umph ? The election of MCCLELLAN will
send joy to Gath and to the streets
of Askelon. Let us not permit such a

placed 'in our hands a kindly, dooile; but
long-suffering and downtrodden race. Re
memberoftiends, that the fate of four -mil
-tone of men to whom you owe freedom
and safety is in your hands to-day. This
is the high moral aspect of the election,
and it would be unmanly for us to turn
aside or shirk this issue: Let us meet it,
and.,let the result of our election be an ex

a Republic call show. Let every vote be
given to freedom. Place MOCLELLArT in

can never permit this infamy without tear
ing the liberty-cap
. from the head of our
goddess. We must not only be true. to
ourselves, but we must•, not be false to this
race committed to Our charge by Almighty
God. TO-day, therefore, you are not
merely voting for your own rights as citi
'Sens of a free nation, !it as the . guardians
•• of 'the long-injured slave. Let us deter
:itine, therefore, that every vote' we give
shall be a vote for, the white man and the
liegro- - for ourselves and those under our
protection. ' Do not let the many hundreds
of thousands who have taken up arms in
our behalf, Who have worn our uniform
and fought• for our flag, be sent back to a
slavery worse than death,.and deprived of
a freedom to which
,we 'have pledged the
faith of the Republic. -
It is useless, however, ti:( make any re
capitulation of these argumerits, We have
7epeated them again and again, and at this
'hour no voter has failed to make' up his
mind. We now make a last appeal. ,The
iesue.is before you—to-day you decide' it.
GIVE THIS DAY TO YOUR' CIOUN
TRY. Show the enemy by your Aiimiters
and power that reVolution seglll4threat
ened is impossible. Do notelet business or
l'ersonal or domestic Cares dissuade you
from the performance of your duty. Do
not be as the men bidlien to the feast, who
had married wives and purchased lands
and could not come. Save the country, or
the halt, and the lame, and the blind will
be called upon to take your places. What
is one day among your goods, and stocks,
and lands, and mortgages ; what 'is one
day of piofit and loss, when compared with
the.necessities of the country ? One' , day
in seven you give to God ; two months of

twelve you give to the mountain and the
seaside. Shall the country ask one day in
vain ? We -do .not think it). Then let
every man do . .*lris duty—not merely the
personal exercise of the franchise, hut all

Our purpose to elect ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
That'would be a half triumph, an Antie
tam victory ;,for under the cover of a large
minority the enemy may withdraw in good
order only to threaten us again. _ ,We must
have an annihilating victory, so that no or
grolt;:d body of domestic treason shall
ever again confront the peace and dignity
Of the Republic. Let us overwhelm, Mc-
CLELLAN and his crew, and before the
smoke has lifted from the plain there' 'will
not be enough, Copperheads left to man
the Galena. If every man does his duty'
this will be the result of the election to
day. Let us catch the inspiration that the
genius of SIUKSPEARE places in the mouth
of the great HENRY on the eve of the
great struggle for English freedom :
This day is Called the feast of Crispian ;
He that outlives this day, and Comes safe home,
Will stand &tiptoe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Orlsplan:
He that shall live this day and see old age

Then will he strip his sleeves and show his sears,
And say—these wounds T bid on Orispian's 'day.
!Did men forget ; yet all !Mall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages • •
What feats he did that day. Then shall our
names,
Familiar In their mouths as household words,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remembsed
This story, shall the good man teach his son,
And pespin, Crisplan shall ne , er go by
From this day to the ending ofthe world,

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers ;
For he to-day t4at sheds hia blood with me
Shall be my brother 4; be he ne , erso vile,
This day shall gentle his condition ; _
And gentlemen in England, now a-bed,
Shall think themselves accursed they were nothere,
And hold their manhood cheap while any speaks
That fought with us upon SL Crispin's day,
Tnv. following notice comes to us as we
go to press. We commend it to the atten
tion of every voter : " Last evening nume
rous circulars of the Union Committee,
enclosing MCCL]LLAI tickets, were dis
tributed through the city. Voters are
cautioned to examine their TICKETS,
and not take for granted that they are
right."
UNDER MCCLELLAN'S Administration
there wbuld be the repeal of the acts
of Congress prohibiting slavery in cer
tain Territories; the re-enactment of the
fugitive-slave law ; • the practical enforce
ment of the extra-judicial dicta of the late
Chief Justice of the' Supreme Court in the
Dred Scott case ; and the theoretical, if
not practical, introduction of slavery into
the present free States. All of these pro
positions are sufficiently obvious, except,
perhaps, the last.; and, however startling
this may seem, we are sure that a careful
examination of the dicta in the case above
mentioned, of the pain tendency in. the
minds of the supporters of the* doctrines
there enunciated, and of the interpretation
which has been put upon that doctrine by
the people of the South, will fully beef; it
out. We have not the space to enter into
a detailed argument upon the subject, but
must 'leave the 'development of it to our
readers,
,merely suggesting the following
roughly-ouilined proposition
property is-not a creature of local.law; but"
is entitled to protection at the hands of the
Federal Courts wherever its owner may
choose to carry it, • and if this protection
can be claimed under provisions contained
in the Constitution of the United States,
then, as that Constitution, and all laws
made in pursuance thereof, are - the supreme
law of the land, anything in State laws or
constitutions to the contrary, the same pro
tection shOuld,.according to this doctrine,
be extended to that property in a State as
in a Territory.. If, then, the people of the
Northern. States are willing to have slavery
introduced within their borders, in spite of
prohibitions in State constitutions and
State laws ; if they are willing to 'see:the
thoreughfares of their cities turned into,
slave markets, and their public squares
into slave-pens—let them vote for the De
mberatic candidates to• day:
• A RESULT that would inevitably follow the
election of-the Democratic candidate would
be the opening of the African slave-trade . . It
is well known that for some time before the
breaking out of the rebellion the importa.
tion of African negroes into the South had
been carried on to a large and, rapidly : .
increasing extent, and that the necessity
fOr such an importation, in order to attain
the practical and successful introduction of
slavery into the. Territories, was fully re
cognized and openly advocated in the press
and by public speakers in the Gulf Stdtes.
In the messages of Southern Governors to
their State" Legislatures ; .in the addresses
of distinguished Southern politicians; in
the editorials of leading Southern journals ;
and in the formation of such societies as
"The Afridan Labor-Supply Association,"
of which the notorious DE Wow was presi
dent, and the " League of United. South
erners," of which the object was to legal
ize and carry into operation schemes for
the importation of negroes, will be found :.
evidence of „the. truth of our .assertion;
while the extent, to which this object was
furthered by all orders of the community
is shown by the fact that a Georgia; agri
cultural society offered a premium, of
twenty-five dollars " for the best live speci
men of an imported African," and that
the lagging spirit of 'Southern divines was
spurred on by the offer, in, a Mississippi
newspaper, of a prize for the best sermon
in support of that eminently Christian
doctrine, the morality of . the slave-trade.
Now, the diminution in the number of
slaves occasioned by the present war, the
demand for a large increase of laborers to
restore to productiveness the wasted and
desolated fields of the South, and the addi
tional. demand fortsuch labor in order to
carry into effect thee purpose of extending
slavery into the Territories, and, if possible,
the border free States, would all be -potent
causes for a resumption of this trade. Foieti
if this' traffic could not be openly legtilized,
it would still be. connived at and counte
nanced ; and we may be sure that any
legal prohibitions against it would be
mere3y waste paper. So, if the American
pebple are prepared to see that flag ,which
has heretofore been thd revered emblem of
civilization • and freedom changed into an
avowed ensign of shame, under whose
protecting folds_ barbarity and slavery can
safbly,exerciEse their most brutual cruelties,
let them vote the Democratic ticket to
day. . •
A GRAVE consequence that would legiti
mately result - from the election of McCLEL
LAIT would be the decided and permanent
weakening of Federal.' authority. " No
thing," says HALLAm; in his Constitutional
History of England, " so Much strengthens
any Government as an 'unsuccesiful. en
deavor to subvert it ;" and we may reason- :
ably assume the converse of this propcsi- .
tion to be. true;and assert, with confidence,
that Uothing so much weakens a' Go'vern- •
'went as a forced concession to the de
mands • of rebellious subjects or citizens.
In the-same. proportion,, therefore; as a
complete and successful suppression of, the
present rebellion would add to the strength,
the dignity, and the influence of our
nation, both at_ home and abroad, just so ,
far will - a 'failure'' to 'accomplish this
end, and a tame submission to the terms of
the Eouth,lletract fronn our reputation and ,
.our power. Let the principle be once intro
duced that the demands of a factious and
discontented minority can be enforced by a
resort to arms, and force will henceforward
be the only argument wllich beaten parties
will condescend to use. The conflicting
demands of the different sections of the
Union will be backed by an appeal to the
arbitrament of war, and scenes of anarchy
will ensue
,to which even the 'dreadful
crisis through which we are now passing
will he but child's•play. If, therefore, the
citizens of the North desire to see this na
tion broken up into a number of petty so:
vereigrtties, - warring among one another,
and exposed to the scorn` and inviting the
effective interference . of-„:European nations,
then let them vote the-Democratic ticket
.
to-day.
Ix THE event 'of the:. election of the
Democratic candidates, peace be at
tabled, if attained at all, upon the delibe
rate and distinct confession that, the
political contest which preceded the' pre
sent resort to arms, and in the armed
struggle itself, the disloyal States were
clearly and completely in the right—the
-loyal States as clearly and completely in
the wrong. Prom this conclusion it is im
possible to escape. The Chicago platform
demands peace on any terms ; and General
McCLELLAN's letter of acceptance demands,
as the only condition of peace, the restora
tion of 'the 'Union. If, then, the Southern
States, speaking through the leaders of the
present rebellion, will consent to come back
into the Union, the Democratic-organiza
tion
n has distinctly avowed its willingness,
nay, its eagerness, to grant all their de
mands. Upon this avowal its platform is
built, and to this avowal its candidates are
pledged. Now, when one of the parties to a
political or military contest consents to yield
to all the claims of the other, it is either
the donfession of a weakness setreat as to
preclude any further struggle, or an admis
sionof the injustice of the cause in which
the yielding party is engage& In the pre
sent condition of affairs, with our armies in
the heart of the Confederacy and encircling
its capital, and with our navies sealing up
every harbor on its long coast line, it'would
be a simple absurdity totitllege that a treaty
of peace, upon:the terms, to which we.b.ave
alluded, would be an acknowledgment of
our inability to carry on the war; the con
elusion, then, is inevitable that such a peace
would be an unqualified admisslon that, in
our political and military contests, the
cause of the ` North has been, and still
-is, a bad one. If, then, the people
of the North are willing to stoop to
the humiliating confession, publicly made
in the face of the whole world, and made,
too, at the feet of arrogant and insult
ing opponents, that for years past they
have been arguing and fighting nil bad
cause ; that the lives and the treasure so
lavishly poured forth have been spent •to
enforce a great wrong ; and that their
brothers and sons, who have met death on
so many fields, have been merely tools for
oppression, and martyrs to an untrUth—let
them vote - the Democratic ticket to day.,,

supplicate an ignominious peace that would

made against him by a frothing, fuming
Copperhead, named Judge GILBERT DEAN.
The General, anxious for the public peace

Tau GERMAN OPERA.—The opening performance
of Grover's German Opera Company, at the Aca
demy. of Music, last evening, was a triumphant 'suc
cess. The house was completely tilled with a bril
liant and appreciative audience, and the singers
were greeted with great enthusiasm. • Bolldieu's
melodious opera of "La Dame Blanche' , was given
with a powerful oast. Mr. Habelman appeared as
George Brown, a part which he has made his own,
and which he rendered In the most . Masterly style.
Mr. Hermanns, as Gaveston, delighted all with his
rich bass voice and his characteristic acting. Ma-.
dame Johansen, in the character of Anna, the ,
.White Lady, was, as . she always is, 'a thorough and
conscientious eitiat. The pleasing role of Jenny was
sung by M'lle Dziuba, who is new to our city, atd
who posseases a high and well trained Soprano
voice, and is a lively and entertaining actress. Mr.
Grover may well Congratulate himself upon the ;
billilant - commencement of his operatic season.
Meyerbeer's great work, ''"ii.obert lo Diable,” is •
announced for this evening, with Karl Formei, Mr.
Elimmer, and Madame Rotter in the leading parts.
As the attention of SO many of our citizens will be

AN officer of the army was two years ago
dismissed for declaring that . it was not the
programme to end•the war. But it has also
been shown that the ending of the war was
not McCLnLLAN's• programme. YRS -aim
was to "protract the war till both parties
were tired, and settle all difficulties under
a Democratic Administration." In. other
words, the programme' of the hero of the
James river flotilla was a dishonorable
peace. The friends of the Union will de

WE REPRINT from the New York Tri
bune of yesterday another characteristic
letter from the Hon. ROBE= J. WALKER,
forwarded to that paper by his gifted-sister,
wife of the patriotic vice president of the
Camden and A.mboy Railroad, exposing a
monstrous Copperhead forgery upon that
eminent Democratic statesman:
GENERAL BUTLER IN NEW YORK
HIS ORDER ON ASSUMING COMMAND.
HEALQUARTSRB CITY OF NEW YORK,
November 5 1854,
GENERAL ORDERS NO. I.—ln obedience to the
orders of the President, and by the assignment of
Ilajor.GenerallDls, commanding Department of
the East, llilajor General Butler assumes command
of the troops arriving at El about to arrive, detailed
for duty in the State of New York, to meet existing
emergencies.
To correct misapprehension, to soothe the fears of
the weak and timid, to allay the nervousness of the
ill-advised, to silence all false rumors circulated by
bad men for wicked purposes and to contradict
once and for all false statements adapted to injure
the Government in the respect and confidence of the
people, the Commanding General takes occasion to
declare that troops. have been detailed for duty in
this district sufficient to preserve the peace of tbe
United States, to protect public property, to prevent
and Punish incursions' into our borders, and to
insure calm quiet.
If it were not within the information of the Go
vernment that raids, like in quality and object to
that made at St. Albans, were in contemplation,
there would have been no necessity for precaution.
ary preparations..
• The Commanding General has been pained to see
publications by some not too tvell.informed persons,
that the presence of the troops of the United States
might by possibility have an effect upon'the free ex
ercise of the duty of voting at the ensuing cleotion.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The soldiers of the United States are specially to
see to it that there is no interference with the elec
tion unless the civil authorities are overcome with
force by bad Men.
The armies of the United States are "ministers of
good and not of evil They are safeguards of con
stitutional liberty, which is PRIMDONT TO no RIGHT,
NOT WRONG. They can be a terror to evildoers
only, and those who fear them are accused by their
own constiences. • • .
Let every eitizen . having a rightto vote, do so ac
cording to the inspiration of his own judgment,
freely. He. will be protected in that right by the
whole power of the Government if it shall become
necessary. •
At the polls ft is not possible exactly to goparate
the illegal from the legal vote—" the tares from the
wheat —but it is possible to detect and punish the
fraudulent voter, after the election is over.
Fraudulent voting in election of United States offi
cers is an offence against the peace and dignity of
the United States.
Efery man knows whether he is a duly qualified
voter, and ho who votes, not being qualified, does a
grievous wrong against and knowledge.
Specially is fraudulent voting a deadly sin and
heinous crime, deserving condign punishment, in
those who,
having rebelliously seceded from and
repudiated their allegiance to this Government
when at their homes in the South, now, having [lad
here for asylum, abuse the hospitality of the State
and clemency o! the Government by interfering in
the election of our rulers.
Such men pile rebellion upon treason, breach of
faith upon perjury. and forfeit the amnesty accorded
them. It will not be well•for them to do so.
There can bo no military organization in any
State, known to the Laws, save the militia and.
armies of the United States.

of the largest in the army. General Hanc - ock was
enthusiastically cheered as he rode along the
line. After the review the principal officers present
adjourned to General Miles , - quarters, where they
partook of a collation, and spent an hour in social
intercourse. There was quite a lively time between
the pickets on the left of the line on Friday alga,
resulting in the loss of a few men on each side.
Yesterday a good deal of artillery firing took place
near the Jerusalem plank road, but without loss to
us.' Last night the pickets in the same vicinity
opened fire shortly after dark, and kept it up
sharply all Light. At about 11P. M. the rebels at
tempted to advance their picket line here to recover
some ground which our men took last week, but our
soldiers being wide awake, made stern objections'
and for an hour or two the exchange of compliments
in die shape of lead was - quite heavy. This is the
old contested ground, near, what was called Fort
Hell; where firing has been almost incessant, and
extremely hot for three months, and for this reason
the place was thus designated.
A citizen of Richmond` arrived within our lines
yesterday. morning, having left that city four days

the authorities would Boon seize and put him in the
