gia4 EtttpA HARRISBURG, PA. . TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 23, 1864 NATIONAL UNION TICKET. FOR PRESIDENT, Abraham Lincoln, OF ILLINOIS. FOR VIOEPRESIDENT. Andrew Johnson, Vitioh:Atanitg Loyal Men for the Safety of the National Union. In a little less than two, and in a little less than three months, will be held two import ant elections; the first for State and National officers, and the second for the Presidency and the Vice Presidency. Every man of com mon sense, and all true lovers of the Union and the Government, is aware that in order to secure the safety of both, there must be concord of action and unanimity of sentiment among those professing loyalty. A division in the ranks of the Union men of the country at this time, would be fatal not only to them as a party, but it would be most disastrous to the country, because by such a division the enemies of the Government would triumph at the ballot-box. NV greater calamity could possibly befal the American people than a itietkint by the opponent- of the Government at the ballot-box. It would stay the progress of ,tlae,liepublic at least half a century, and at some future day, not far distant, it would ' render necessary a repetition of the fight in which we are now engaged, iith the sacrifices of life and limb, and treasure all to. be again madein a struggle with 'the:;elements which now antagonize the Government. Indeed, sul Victory which our'armies in the field corild possibly achieve, can be compared to the im portance of a triumph by the Union men, at the Coining State and National elections. Suppose we had a dough-face Democratic *a tional Administration, and suppose with the men of that Creed and party' in the control of affairs, would the victory of our armies benefit the nation? We answer no—emphatically No! because it is the fixed policy of the lead ers of that party to give the traitors in arms all they demand—to divide the Union at their behests—to recognize the independence of bonfederacy—after which the douti44ace Democracy hope to enter on a line of re-cOn strnetion, by assuming the war debt of the rebellion, and making the Commonwealths that are no* free, slave States. The Demo inratiC leaders have no other object in ,view in 'seeking a victory at the : ballot-pox, but to benefit the slave-holders in rebellion. If they were inspired by other motives, they would unite with the Union, men of the country, and by one common effort seek the overthrow of the rebellion. " - - —With these facts before ns, he who pro fesses to be a Union man, and does not freely mke-every sacrifice -to secure the.:harmony and the strength of the Union party, Is a t alter at heart. He who has no sacrifices to make for the concord of an organization on the success of which depends the triumph of the Government, is no true friend of the loyal cause, and deserves to be regarded as a foe. It isnot merely the ambition of men that is to be served in a struggle such as the Ameri can people are now engaged. The very sanc tity and importance of our cause makes all equal who fight in its defence. We want a party of brothers, not of angry and factious belligerents. This is the spirit which ani mates the great mass of loyal men—it is the bond which unites the soldier in the field'per filing life and limb for the safety of the Gov ernment. It must be the spirit animating those who are straggling at home for a victory at the polls. Those who refuse to cultivate this spirit had better be repudiatid at once. The self-constituted leaders who seek to foment strife, had better be kicked beyond the lines of the party—far beyond the ranks of Union men, as un*orthy to associate with those who are daily making sacrifices for the success of the common cause. The war is the people's war, a struggle of right against wrong, which the people ate maintaining with unexampled ;rigor. The campaign for the re-election of Abraham Lincoln belongs equally -to the people. and th.y are determined to prosecute that struggle to success. He who offers an impediment to this effort, is no friend of the people. Me Conspirators of the West. If anything were wanting to convict the copperhead leaders of complicity with the slave-holders rebellion, their own declarations would supply the demand, for the develop ments making every day in the West afford suffcient proof to convict every leader in the opposition of the west of rank treason. It has puzzled many good people to solve the mystery of copperhead inactivity; and it has been source of much conjecture to get at real abject in postponing the copperhead convention for the nomination of candidates respectively for the Presidency and the Vice Presidency. lint all this is now fairly ex plained. The inactivity of the copperhead leaders in a political connection, is the result of their zeal in behalf . of the rebellion,— Throughout tbe. Western States, these men' have been devoting, themselves to the orgard , nation of secret armies—fully equipped for service in the field—with. -the• deliberate purpose of usurping 'the - federal rule in that direction, and thus,',b, a double rebellion, compel the national authorities to yield to traitors. We have already published, the facts developed in -Missouri, all overwhelmingly establishing, the truth of Demooratic conipli city with treason. Since the developments zaade lithw it irioliw?losmes have aliabeen nude in Indiana. all fixing.tho hellish guilt of tress= on the remocratte leaders. whit e . these Alen in the cut; t4lePnTt. a nd the west; were decrying the' national Allthqritios... for :what they termed .- their failures lo crush re_ '44alion and - prit an Ca to [far, they were engaged in every possible effort to embarrass and frustrate the authorities and secure the success of the insurgents. We hare fre quently assertel that when the history of the rebellion is fairly exposed the Northern sym pathizer with treason would occupy a more infamous positionthan the Southern traitor. The facts already begin to establialftbe tenth of this assertion. • There is an admonition in the develop ments of these secnt Democratic conspiracies which should not be lost on all who profess to be Union men. The treason of the Demo cratic leaders-teaches the necessity of union and harmOny among Ipyal men. If we are not united, the enemy will fall upon us in de tail and easily crush us. A Provost Moralist's Farewell. We have frequently commiserated the suf ferings of Provost Marshals just previous to and during a draft Their worry with Cop perheads, with bounty-jumpers, with tinad people, with invalids and men afflicted with bogus ailments, must be really terrible, and their position only resembles " a bed of roses " in the sante. way that the couch of the unfortunatelifesican monarch was supposed to. In Massachusetts one of these afflicted of ficialshas just resigned his seat, and on taking leave of his office he uses the following felici tous language : The retiring officer has had the satisfac tion of knowing that in the discharge of dit ties eminently c a lculated to "make everybody hate he has suet with the most cheering success. Without a pang of regret, he bids an official but affectionate adieu to the gen tlemanly substitute brokers, who always have "two or three first-rate men of good moral character'.' they want to get in ; to the patri otic selectnsen and town agents who would like to look over the list to see if James Henry Alexander's name is down ; to the, short-haired substitutes with a complication of diseases, who swear they are "tough enough to stand marching and fighting ;" to the timid young gentlemen from.the rural dis tricts who'" have the rheumatism , Very bad; in wet weather," and " have never been well " since the war broke out ; to. the anxious par ties who have for the la,st three or four weeks waylaid him in the, streets, and opened their attacks with a dreadful series of s'posens ;" to the aliens from Ireland and the aliens from Germany, and the aliens who were willing, to swear that they. were aliens, and the „a li ens who would be hanged if they would !de anything of the sort ;” to the mild-mannered man who - " midi* understand it," and 'to those .rough-spoken people who " knew all about it ;" and to those and to all of them he bids a fond and affectionate farewell. We presume they areal] pleased with the change, He oertainbi is. - ' PENNSnVM LEGISLAttRE. REPORTED' , AMP/IEB3LT FOB THE TELEGRAPH SENATE., s Moziney, August 22, 1864. Senate met at tis. M.
