WOEX! WORK!! WOEK!!!
It i3 evident that our vote wa not all out
at the recent election. Our friends were
over confident of success, and did not make
the effort demanded by the overwhelming
importance of the contest. True we have
succeeded, but a little more apathy would
have resulted in a defeat. Now let us learn
wisdom by experience. Let us go earnestly
to work, and resolve not to be satisfied with
a mere majority, but to make the victory
overwhelming, and redeem the old Key
stone from the last taint of Copperheadism.
Work earnestly from this until the polls
close on the Sth of November. See that
the meetings called throughout the county
are fully attended. Go yourself and take
your neighbor with you. Do the same when
you go to th election. Get out every Uu ion
vote. Let every body see that you are in
earnest that you not only profess to be a
Union man, but that you are willing to la
bor and make sacrifices' if need be, for the
success of the cause. Yo i will then teach
by example, aa well as by precept, and will
have the gratification of knowing that you
did something towards securing the grand
and glorious triumph which the Union hosts
will achieve over rebels, traitors, and cop
perheads over every foreign and domestic
enemy of the country. Then work !
MISTAKE OF DEATTED MEN.
"We are informed that out of the entire
number of men drafted in this county, only
about one third have reported up to this
time. Those who have failed to report are
committing a fatal error. If they think that
by shirking tlm draft until the war is over
they can escape the penalty of desertion,
they are laboring under a seriou3 delusion.
The term of service for which they have, by
the draft become amenable to the Govern
ment, can only be discharged by their obe
dience to the law under which it was made.
The obligation resting upon them is perpet
ual, and unless so discharged, can only end
with their live3. Sooner or later, they will
be compelled to suffer the penalty of the
outraged law. If they wait till the war is
over and the term of service will no longer
be needed, the only thing left for the Gov
ernment will be to visit upon them the pun
ishment which the law percribe3. They
cant expect to skulk through life without
heing caught. It may not be this month, or
this year, but the day will surely come when
they will feel upon them .the strong hand of
the Government. How much better, then,
to report at once, discharge their duty, and
save themselves from punishment, infamy
and disgrace.
"THE STATE ALL EIGHT."
"The State has ttnmistakingly gone for
the Democrats by from two to three thousand
majority. This may berelied upon." Cop
perhead Organ.
This, we have no doubt, will be "re-lied"
upon tintil after the November election. If
hard lying could do it, the Copperhead ma
jority would be more than "from two to
three thousand." But unfortunately for
our neighbor, the aove is not the fact. The
"home vote" is very close. Some of the pa
pers make the Union majority from 300 to
391, while others give the Cops a majority
of fix. But, be this as it may, the soldiers
vote will, in all probability, run the Union
majority up to 15,000. It will be seen, there
fore, that ''the State is all right," pure
enough, but not for the McClcllan party.
Try it again, Daniel. If Swoope and Patton
only "come within twelve hundred," surely
no one would "doubt your veracity" after
fluch a little discrepancy as fifteen thousand.
WHAT DOUGLAS SAID.
Mr. Douglas said to Gen. Steadman at
Detroit in the autumn of 1860 "Mr. Lin
coln is a fearless, honest man, and the coun
try' will be safe in his hands. " lie said too,
that ia this war there could be but two par
ties patriots and traitors.
Read the circular of the War Democrat g
pabliahsd in another eolumB.
THE. MOLASSES CIECULAE. .
The Copperheads have been engaged in
distributing all over the county a circular
showing the high price of molasses, sugar,
coffee, &e., &c,, which they charge upon
the Administration of Mr. Lincoln, This
is a most pitiful argument at best, even if it
were true that Mr. Lincoln's policy w as the
cause. Bat none know better than the men
who concocted and who circulated this doc
ument, that the true cau.se of the high pri
ces of the necessaries of Lie, and ct ail the
other inconveniences and calamities that the
country is now groaning under, is the rebel
lion itself a rebellion inaugurated, sustain
ed and 'continued by the Democratic party.
Their last candidate for the Presidency is
one of its chief leaders. Cobb, Floyd, Ma
son, Benjamin, Slidell, Wigfall, Hammond,
Rhett, Keitt, Wise, and Jeff. Dav'rs him
self, all Democrats, are its very life and sub-
tance. It had its birth, and was nursed
and cradled under the Democratic Adminis
tration of Buchanan. It derives its sympa
thy and support fr.om the men who to-day
call themselves the Democratic party. Its
firmest friends are Vallandigham, Seymour,
Wood, Long, Harris, Hughe3, Wall, Pen-
dkton, and the editor of the Clearfield Re
publican, all of whom claim to be Democrats
par ewfffr,whiLitits last lirgenng hope of
success, as avowed by its own organs, is in
the election of Mc-Clellan. The responsi
bility, then, of the high prices, and of every
other calamity which the war has brought
upon us, rests ur on the leaders of the Dem
ocratic party, who inaugurated and continue
the Rebellion, and not upon Mr. Lincoln
and those with him who are endeavoring to
maintain and defend the Uniou.
They cannot escape thi responsibility by
the distribution of "molasses circulars," or
fault-finding with the policy adopted by the
Government for the suppression of the Re
bellion. They stand convicted before the
tribunal of History of plunging the land in
to the horrors of civil war. All the blood
and t?ars and agony all the countless treas
ure all the devastated territory all the
desolate hearths and homes that this war
has cost, is juslly chargeable to the leaders
of the Democratic party. For all its fear
ful consequences, posterity will hold them
to a strict accountability, and those of them
who have not repented, but still persist in
giving the Rebellion aid and comfort in op
posing every measure adopted by the Gov
ernment for its fcuppression, will find that
when the people have accomplished the
great work in which they are now engaged,
they will receive, at the bar of public opin
ion,, the punishmeut which their conduct
has merited, and they and their children,
down to the latest generation, will in vain
endeavor to wipe out the blistering fctain,
which, Cain-like, will brand them as traitors
forever.
COPPEEEEAD LOGIC.
'"Several other counties show a heavier
Democratic gain or a Repuhlicau loss,
xchich is the same thing." Clearfield Re
publicin. A "Republican loss" and a "Democratic
gain" are the same thing in the estimation
of the astute editor of- the Copperhead or
gan. Bat until our lox is added to their
vote, we cannot conceive how it is a gain for
them. For instance, in this county they
polled 15 votes less at this election than they
did at the last. Where, then, is their gain?
What sincle individual has left our t arty
and joined theirs? The fact that out of the
ranks of the Union party the armies of the
country have been filled up, ought to afford
the very last subject for Democratic boast
ing. Last fall more than 17,000 soldiers
were furloughed and sent home to vote.
Now these men vote in the army. Add
their number to the home vote, and where
is the Democratic gain? It exists solely in
the imagination of the editor of the Copper
head organ.
A Eaid on St. Albans, Vermont.
A party of 25 armed desperadoes, suppo
sed to be in Rebel employ, from Canada,
made a descent upon the town of St. Al
bans, Vermont, on the 19th inst., and rob
bed the First National Bank of about $54,
000, the St. Albans Bank of about $75,000,
and the Franklin Bank of $85,000. Sever
al citizens who resisted were deliberately shot
by the robbers. Pursuit was afterwards
made, and nine of the freebooters, with $50,
000 of the money, captured. The leader of
the robbers was, at a later hour, also taken,
with $100,000 of the money in his possession.'
; HAVE IT ATTENDED TO.
We understand that some of the soldiers'
in the Army did not receive their certificates
of assessment and tax-receipts before the
October election. We can assure the sol
diers that the Union County Committee ex
erted themselves to have assessments made,
the taxes paid, 'and the proper certificates
forwarded to all men fn the Army, without
regard to the party preferences they may en
tertain. If any of our friends know of any
omission, we urge them to have it attended
to without delay.
Pendleton is, morally, as complete a
traitor as Jeff Davis. Aud he is but little
less a traitor, practically. While Davis
was sending out his armies to overthrow the
Government, Pendleton refused to vote a
dollar or a man to prevent it. If the ma
jority in Congress had voted as he did, the
rebels would have accomplished their pur
poses long ago. Any rebel in the Confeder
acy is, therefore, as deserving of the votes
of loyal men as Pendleton; and yet whoever
votes for McClellan will have to vote for
this notorious ally ot treason. .
.UNMITIGATED LYING.
If Baron Munchausen were alive, he would
hide his diminished head in shame after
reading "The News" article in the last
Clearfield Republican. For outrageous, de
liberate and unqualified b'ing, it has, per
haps, no parallel in political or other history.
That it was done for a purpose, is clear from
the fact that the truth was entirely within
the editor's reach. The daily papers, con
taining the official reports of the operations ;
of the Armies for three days previous to the j
date of the Republican, give the lie to eve
ry statement in the article.
It begins with the declaration that their
readers, can, from the advance in gold, "form
a correct idea of the operations of our mili
tary forces. " Yet, the Dailies of Monday
morning the last which they would receive
before working off their paper contained,
among their Associated Press reports, the
following dispatch :
New York, Oct 14. "The gamblers in
Wall street have been ruiminL' gold up to
day, with a story that Grant has removed
both Meade and Warren from tlmr com
mands. 2 Jus is a pure Jabri&ttion."
This shows how much the "operations of
our military farces" had to do with any ad
vance in gold. It shows, moreover, an in
tentional suppression of the truth, and mis
representation ofthe facts by the Republican.
The next assertion is that 'there is noth
ing doing at Petersburg." But the pajers
of Saturday contain a despatch that "a des
perate charge was made on the middle of
the Second Corps line, and was successfully
repulsed that our gunboats and shore bat
teries had succeeded in silencing the Rebel
battery on the south sid of James River,
which had heretofore interfered with the
working party at Dutch Gap." The papers
of Monday contain news of a reconnaissance
in force of part of the Tenth Corps, and a
fight on the Darbytown road, within three
miles of Richmond, in which the Rebels
were driven from their works, and our for
ces were enabled to hold the position which
they now occupy within fbur miles of the
Rebel Capital. And yet in the face of this
news the Republican says "there is-nothing
doing at Petersburg !"
The third paragraph of their article so
fully shows the animus of the who'Ie, that
we quote it at length. Here it is:
"Sheridan has fallen back to the vicinity
of Winchester, or perhaps Harper's Ferry
aftyr desolating with the torch the entire
valley of the Shenandoah from Staunton
northward to Winchester a distance of over
eighty miles and from mountain to moun
tain an average width of over twenty miles.
Not a barn, or stack of grain or hay escaped,
and many dwellings and villages have shared
the same fate; the entire population be'ng
driven off. This was in obedience to the or
der of Gen. Grant L:t vs hear no more
complaint of the depredations of rebel inva
ders." The editor of the Republican could not
have been ignorant, when he wrote this ar
ticle, of the splendid victory achieved by
Sheridan over the Rebel General Loinax,
officially reported in the papers of Frid;i3r
morning. The details of that battle, one of
the most brilliant of Sheridan's brilliant
campaign in .the Valley, were published at
length in all the dalies of Friday and Satur
day. The Rebels were completely routrd,
with a loss of S guns and 300 prisoners. In
stead of Sheridan having "lallen back" to
Winchester or Harper's Ferry, the official
despatch of Friday ends as follows :
"The last advices from Sheridan report
him as having followed up his victory by
pursuing the enemy .-till further up the Val
ley. Raiding into Maryland and Pennsylva
nia is at an end."
So far from retreating, on the very day on
which the Republican was issued, he achiev
edanother still more glorious victory, at
Cedar Creek, over Longstrect his official re
port of which will be found in another col
umn of to-days Journal. It is fitting that
such an unmitigated lie, evidently concocted
to injure the National cause, .should end
with the pitiful Rebel whine of "Let us hear
no more complaint of the depredations of
Rebel invaders !"
To keep up this wholesale lyins, the nexo
assertion ofthe Republican is that "No newti
have been received from Sherman for over
three weeks." And yet the papers of the
week immediately proceeding their day of
publication, were filled with the details of
the glorious victory achieved at Allatoora,
in which the Rebel Hood's attack was met
and repulsed, with a loss of 200 dead and
more than 1,000 wounded and prisoners!
They further say, on the authority of "the
Richmond papers," (from whence, judging
by its character, the Republican gets all its
news,) that "Sherman is in the most immi
nent danger." But Sherman's official des
patch of the 9th inst., states that "Hood
has retreated to Dallas and Van Wert we
have at Allatoona and Atlanta abundance of
provisions Atlanta is perfectly secure to
us, and the Army is betteroff than in camp!"
The Republican says, moreover, upon the
same authority, we presume, that "Forest
is operating on the Federal lines of commu
nication between Nashville and Chattanooga,
and at last accounts he was within a few
miles of Nashville." But Maj. Gen. Thom
as, in his official report of the 8th inst, says
that "Forest had retreated by crossing the
Tennessee river on flat-boats above and be
low Florence on the 6th instant, while. Gen
eral Rosseau, who was in pursuit of him,
was detained by high water in Shoal Creek
and Elk river." Again, on the 19th, the
very day on which the Republican was is
sued, as if more effectually to expose its vile
falsehoods, the daily papers contained the
official reports of Sherman's great victory
at Ship Gap, on the 16th. . Could there be
lying more unblushing and barefaced ?
The last item of "News," published by
the Rejmblican, is as follows:
"Missouri is completely overrun with the
Confederate forces under Gen, Price, who
was, at last dates, in a fair way to capture
the State Capital, intendins to place the
State in-the hands of the Lieut Governor
elected two years ago along with Gov. Jack
son, who has since died."
How the editor of the Republican became
acquainted with the "intention"1 of the Reb
el General Price to "place the State in the
hands of the Lieut. Governor" whether
through the underground telegraph of the '
Sons of Liberty or otherwise he does not
inform his readers. iut if his source of
miormation is tne same through, which he
gets his "news," it is not very reliable, for
the fact is that Price, at the latest accounts
before the issue of the Republican, was
moving on Lexington, about one hundred
miles distant from the State Capital ! There
is about as much prospect of his putting
the State Government into the hands of his
Lieut Governor, as there is of the Copper
heads putting the National Government in
the hands of McClellan.
We have thus exposed at some length the
Republican's malicious misrepresentations
of the operations of our Armies. For weeks
past this system of falsehood has been re
lied upon to bolster up their sinking cause.
They well know that their only hope of suc
cess lies in disaster to our arms. And as the
most strenuous efforts of their Rebel friends
have failed to produce thee much desired
disasters, the editors of the Republican un
hesitatingly and unblushiugly manufacture
them to order. What is to be thought of a
man or a party who will thus persistently
magnify our reverses and belittle our tri-
unipiis who will falsify the achievements !
of our gallant soldiers, and hold up fur ad
miration the valor of their enemies who
will apologize for Rebel depredations, and
denounce the war measures of our own Gov
ernment? What stronger evidence of the
close alliance letween Northern Copperheads
and Southern Rebels, could possibly be fur
nished than this tissue of unmitigated false
hoods ?
AN0THEE LIE.
"Ohio and Indiana. The returns from
the elections held in these States on Tues
day last, show that the Republicans have
probably been successful in both, bnt by re
duced majorities." Clearfield Republican.
If the editor of the Republican knew any
thing about it, he must have known, when
he penned the above paragraph, that Indi
ana has for the last two years been LVmcv
cratic. In 18G2, the Democratic majority
in the State was 9,513. There was no State
election in 1863, but both branches of the
Legislature were Democratic. On Tuesday
the LTnion party carried the State by over
20,000 majority, notwithstanding the Dem
ocratic Legislature had refused the soldiers
the right to vote. This is the largest ma
jority by which auy party ever carried the
State. We like such "reduced majorities."
and if the Cops can find any consolation in
the 80,0tA) Union majority in Ohio, and in
the loss of twelve Congressmen, they are
welcome to it.
'"Missouri is Completely Overrun.''
We publish the following item of war
news from Missouri, for the e special benefit
of our Copperhead neighbor:
"On the 2:Jd our linewas 5 miles south of
Kansas city. An artillery engagement en
sued, and our infantry slowly advanced.
Fighting was kept up for ten miles, the en
emy gradually falling back. Pleasonton
then came in on our kit, and a grand hse
followed, resulting in the total rout of the
enemy. Prices whole army is reported re
treating rapidly south."
Surely, "Missouri is completely overrun
with the Confederate forces under General
Price ;" but they are running out of harm's
way as fast as their traitorous legs can carry
them ! Neighbor, how many years will it
take your "brother" Price "to capture the
State Capital" of Missouri at the rate he
now runs f Do tell !
' "'SPLENDID ACHIEVEMENTS."
"Although Gov. Bigler falls far short of
an election, yet the victory we have gained
in the District is none the lc-s decisive and
gratifying. ' ' Clearfield Republican.
Alas ! poor Bigler. If this is not adding
insult to injur-, we do not know what is. Of
course, his election would have be?n none
the more ' 'gratifying ! ' ' This evident desire
that he should not be elected, accounts, per
haps, far his running behind the county
ticket, which, no doubt, is also profusely
"gratifying." Such "victories" are indeed,
wondertully "decisive." As they are so ex
ceedingly "gratifying" to the Cops, we will
furnish them one of the same character, on
ly of proportionately greater magnitude, on
the 8th of November.
TENDEE SENSIBILITIES.
"Certainly the thing would have been ac
complished if one or two more Swoope-Pat-ton-Cow
meetings could have been held."1
Clearfield Republican.
The delicate sensibilities of the Copper
heads must bate been dreadfully shocked
by "those Bull and Cow stories !" Many of
them got so nervous that they forgot to vote
for Bigler, thus leaving him behind the bal
ance of the ticket, whiLst the editor of the
organ has been bellowing ever since like a
sucking-calf, cheated out of its supper. But
it's no use, Daniel, you're in the fix of Dob
bin's calf the cow you've been following
has turned out a steer !
SPEECH OF PEESIDENT LINCOLN. '
Hi3 Viewa of the Election ia Maryland.-
- Washington, Oct. 19. The President
w as serenaded at the White House to-night,
aud.on appearing at an upper Window.spoke
as follows, being frequently interrupted with
applause :
"I am notified that this is a compJiment
paid me by the loyal Marylanders resident in
this District. I infer that the adoption of
the new Constitution for the State furnishes
the occasion, and that, in your view, the ex
tirpation of" slavery constitutes the chief
merit of the new Constitution.
'"Most heartily do I congratulate you and
Maryland, and the nation, and the world
upon the event. I regret that it did not oc
cur two years sooner, which, 1 am sure,
would have saved to the nation more money
than would have met all the private loss in
cident to the measure. But it has come at
last, and 1 sincerely hope its friends may
fully realize all their anticipations of good
from it, and that its opponents may, by its
effects, be agreeably and profitably disap
pointed. "A word upon another sub'eet Some
thing said by the Secretary of State, in his
recent speech at Auburn, has been construed
by some into a threat that, if I shall be beat
en at the election, I will, between then and
the end of my constitutional term, do what
1 may be able to ruin the Government.
Others regard the fact that the Chicago
Convention adjourned not sine die, but to
meet again, if called to do so by a particular
individual, as the intimation of a purpose
that if their noniinee shall be elected he will
at ouee seize the control of the Government.
I hope the good people will permit them
selves to sutler no uneasiness on this point.
""lam struggling to maintain the Gov
ernment, not to overthrow it. 1 am strug
gling especially to prevent others from over
throwing it. I therefore say that, if I shall
live, I shall remain President until the
fourth-of next March, and that whoever shall
be constitutionally elected th-.-reior, in No
vember, shall bo duly in.-tailed as President
on the fourth of March, and that, la the in
terval. I shall d my utmost that whoever
is to l;ld the helm for the next vovaire thull
start with the best possible chance to save
the ship.
"This is due to the people both on prin
ciple and under the Constitution. Their
will, constitutionally expressed, is the ulti
mate law for all. If they should deliber
ately resolve to have immediate peace, even
at the loss of their country and their liber
ties. I know not the power or the right to
resist them. It is their own business, and
they must do as they plea.-e with their own.
1 believe, however, they are still resolved to
preserve their country and their liberty;
and, in this office or out, I am resolved to
stand 1 y them.
"I may add that in this purpose to save
the country and its liberties no classes of
people seem so nearly unanimous as the sol
diers in the field nnd the seamen afloat. Do
they not have the hardest of it ? Who
should quail while they do not ? God bless
the soldiers and seamen, with all their brave
commanders 1"
. Pretty "Work for a U. S. Senator.
The last Columbia CTounh Republican,
published at Bloomsburg, -contains the fol
lowing particulars of an affair which occur
red there on election day. Head it :
"Capt, Silver, Deputy Provost Marshal
of this county, in persuance of his prescribed
duties, arrested among others, two men,
named Heller and Holder, of Hemlock.
They were lodged in jail at this place on
Sunday. On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Sena
tor Buckalew went to the Livery stable and
hired a two horse carriage under the pretext
of taking a ride down the river. He oare
ful y faxteird down (he curtains, drove down
to and out Third Street, then up Iron Street,
and at the corner of Rock and Iron streets
mt Sheriff Furman and Robert O. Fruit,
the Commissioner's clerk, who had with
them the two deserters above named. Mr.
Buekalcw delivered the carriage over "into
the hand of Messrs. Furman and Fruit, who
took the deserters over to 13uek Horn, where
they voted. Capt. .Silvers, on hearing of
these high-ban led proceedings at once sent
a couple of resolute soldiers after the party.
They overtook them returning.arre.-ted them,
brought them to town and placed thorn un
der guard. The - Marshal telegraphed to
Han isburg for instructions. In persuance
of orders he sent the party the Sheriff,
Commissioner's Clerk and deserters under
a strong guard of what Mr. Buckalew
nounces as "insolent hirelings" to Harris
burg en the Tuesday evening train.- These
men have got themselves into trouble
through the advice of one who should have
scorned stooping to such a conspiracy. A
cause and a party must be desperate indeed
that requires such a course of action."
Just the Eight Kind of Argument.
The Cincinnati Enquirer of last week
proposes the following for the consideration
of capitalists :
What will the bonds and debts of the Gov
ernment be worth after Lincoln ha added
five or six thousand millions of dollars to the
four thou.-and millions of debt already accu
mulated ? This is the question that capital
ists put to one another and its effects are
obvious.
Now, says the 'limes, we will ask those
same capitalists what the four thousand mil
lions of debt alreadj' accumulated, and held
by themselves in the shape of bonds and
greenbacks, will be woYth if Lincoln is de
feated? The Peace Democracy would repu
diate their redemption and deny the legality
of their issue. That is the proper manner
for capitalists to argue the question of the
public debt Every dollar of it is held in
this country, aud nine dollars in every ten is
in the hands of loval men.
"SOMETHING TO BOAST OF."
"Bigler is defeated by some thousand
votes. Thit . . is something to boast
of." Clearfield Republican.
Not content with running Bigler behind
the ticket, the Copperhead organ persists in
kicking him after he is down. Not only ha3
he been "slaughtered in the house of his
friends," but they "boast" over the deed !
Well might the defunct candidate have ex
claimed, as he read the Republican : "Et

The majority on the soldiers' vote will, ia
