Last year the people of the, County lead by politicians and actuated by, party feelings, defeated three maimed and crip pled defenders of their Country who were before them for their suliragl. Will they allow their party prejudice again to overcome their feelings of the commonest gratitude ? There are now two noininees of the Union party, who have gallantry' served their Country while their competitors were enjoying the safety and comfort of their homes. Will the voters of Cumberland be stow again their honors on politicians and reward the brave defenders of their Coun try's flag by. defeat ? Can they forget that to the soldier who faithfully serves his Govern ment is duo all the gratitude, respect and honor of those who remain at home? Re- member this on next Tuesday and cast your votes for those whose patriotism has deserv ed them. VOTE FOR KELSO ANT/ ZINN. This Congressional District should be rep resented by a man who has given the people unmistakable evidence of his loyalty. since the war commenced the voice of this consti tuency has been in favor of a vigorous prose cution of the war and of sustaining and sup porting the Government in 'every measure calculated to overthrow the rebellion. We must not change our position now, when thy Government is just on the eve of a final trumph over treason. We must take no step backward nor do aught to cause rebels to think that we have ceased our hostility to ward them. Our present Representative can be trusted. He has stood faithfully by the Government. His devotion to his coun try has secured him the hostility of every rebel sympathizer in the Country. The men who approve his past course should sup port him and return him to a position where he can aid the Government and counteract the efforts of those who would destroy it. Vote for JOSEPH BAILEY. It has been repeatedly charged that John Jacobs, the Democratic Candidate for Sheriff declared that " if he were to fight at all in this war, ho would fight on the side of the Southern Confederacy." These charges have been made from the stump, in his own Township and neighborhood and he and his friends have been challenged to deny it. He has never attempted to deny it, and those who have made the charge thus publicly, declare that they can establish their assertions by the most conclusive proof. Will the loyal voters of Cumberland County elevate to the most important office in their gift, a man who thus expresses his sympathy for the ene mies of his country? Shall Captain Zinn, the brave soldier, who has been fighting the battles of his Country, ever since treason first attacked our Government, be defeated by a man, who hasn't even a wish to see the traitor Confederacy overthrown but would prefer to fight its battles ? Let every man who honors consistent loyalty and patriotism and who hates treason and those who sym pathize with it, vote for CAPTAIN ZI.N.N. Silver Spring Township voted by ❑n iin- memo majority to deprive soldiers of the right of suffrage. John Jacobs resides there and is one of the most active politicians in the Township. Ho and those with whom ho acted did what they could to disfranchise their follow citizens who were absent in the army, defending the loyal States and partial- larly our own Valley, from rebel incendiaries and plunderers. He has never given an hour's care or labor to his country's defense while his opponent has devoted-every day and hour to his Country since the war be gan. Now Mr. Jacobs asks the people of the County to elect him tp n. position of honor and trust. Will those who have felt the terrors of a rebel invasion and who appreci ate the services of_ those who guard our border, vote for a man who has thus been the soldiers'• enemy ? Let -every man who has a relative or friend in the army, or who respects those who have gone forth to defend our homes from the in cursions of rebel hordes, vote against JoaN JACOBS. It is of the utmost importance to the tax . payers of the County, thaLthe office of Com missioner should be filled by a man of intel ligence, honesty l and experience, and one who is fully acquainted with the resources and the necessary expenditures of the County.

But the result of our local election will affect very seriously the great struggle in November next. If the result of our state election should be favorable to the Union cause our tri umph at November will be certain and over-whelming. If the friends of the Government should be defeated, the apolo gists for treason will be encouraged to redouble ,their efforts to carry enough of States besides ours, to ensure the election of McClellan and commit our Govern ment to the treasonable principles of the Chicago platform. They cannot succeed even if they carry Pennsylvania, but they may accomplish enough to inspire the traitors with the hope that the con test will be doubtful and thus induce them to prolonge their resistence to the Government. On the election of Abraham Lincoln depends the existence of Governmemt and the stability of our free insti tutions. Four years ago he was consti tutionally elected President, but a great rebellion has prevented the exercise of his authority throughout nearly one-halt of the country. Unless that authority is restored to him our Government is a failure. A nation that is too weak or too much under the control of traitors to enforce respect to her laws and her rulers is destitute of a Government. If eleven States may defy the authority of President l incoln. any other number might if they chose and had the power defy the authority of any of his succes sors. There is but one course of policy that will prove to the world that we are ' determined to uphold and maintain our Republican institutions, and that is by forcing traitors and disloyal men. North and South, to acknowled; , e the right to him, who was fairly chosen by freemen's votes, to rule this nation. If we re-elect Mr. Lincoln and subdue the Southern confederacy we establish our Govern ment on a foundation so firm that trai tors will never attempt, its overthrow If we yield to the wishes of traitors and take him from a position from which rebel armies have firiled to drive him be fore his rightful authority is establised, th'en we aeknowledge that our Govern ment is too weak to enforce obedience to its laws and invite the rebellion of every disappointed or &Coated party. Elect Mr. Lincoln and the people will secure an honorable and speedy peace, and a firm, uuduriug, rind permanent, (;,,veru intent. Defeat him and We have a dissolved Union, the certainty of continued civil wars, and the final destruction of our country. We are opposed by a party which its merely the remnant of an organization which commenced the rebellion. Where- I ever its majority gave it the power the Democratic Party east the States that it controlled into the confederacy of trea son. The portion that now opposes us was in a minority too hopeleslsy great to drag any other State into rebellion. We do not assert that its action would have been as treasonable hail it possessed the same power in any State in the North as it was in those Southern States which it controlled, but we cannot forget that there is not a n o un who is now accepted as a leader in the Democratic Party here. whose record is free from expressions of sympathy with rebellion and secession.— Can this party be trusted with the great work of putting down this rebellion ? Will they treat it as au unjustifiable and wicked revolt against our govern ment or will they regard it as merely an irregular opposition to a party which has always opposed them ? They claim that there should be no punishment for trea son. They hold that no confiscation of property should follow the crime of re bellion. They insist that the institution which has produced all this war and bloodshed shall remain undisturbed and subject to the control and wishes of the men who have been all these years dis regarding our constitution and setting our laws at defiance. They would re call the leading traitors to the Cabinet and Senate Mid place those who have heretofore led the hosts of treason, in command of the forces of the Union.— They would assume the whole of the debt incurred by the Rebel Government in the attempt to destroy the country, and fasten its 'additional burdens on the now overtaxed resources of our Nation. In short, there is concession too humilia ting; and no sacrifice of honor too great, to be incurred in the effort of Democra• cy to concoct a peace that would en dure no longer than the interests of a Slaveholding Aristocracy would be promoted by its continuance. • The issue between the parties fairly stated is this. Shall the Union of the States be restored and the authority of its Government respected by the entire people or' shall we Bye .ith6rtwo sep arate nations, or the surrender of the honor and authority of the nation for the conciliation of traitors ? Shall traitors be subdued and receive the punishment due their . erime4 ; or shall they be invited back to rule over the country they have attempt ed to 'ruin ?

The result" of the contest on next Tuesday will exert a most powerful in fluence on the final settlement of these que6tions The success of the party that stands by the Government will do more to destroy the , r-ebellion and hasten the return or Peace than the most detided successes our armies could achieve. The success of those who oppose the prosecution of the war will more than compensate the rebels for all they have lost during the last two months. A Democratic victory would cause a cheer to rise from every rebel regiment in the service; A Union triumph would inspire our own brave men with joy and courage. Let every loyal man remember this and cast his vote for the party which is pledged to the support of the Government and to the overthrow of the rebellion. THE SOLDIER'S CANDIDATE HON. JOSEPH BAI LY The re-election of lion. Joseph BAily to Congress is a matter in which we see no rea son why all loyal men, Republicans, War Democrats and Soldiers should not cordially unite. His nomination was made by the gallantsoldiers just on the eve of their march to the "front." It comes appropriately from them for the men in camp from Pennsylva nia are now voters as well as soldiers. The nomination is their hearty free-will offering to Mr. Badly, without regard to their former party attachments, for they know he will be, as he al ways has been, the soldier's true friend. The soldiers nominated Mr. Bally and the earnest War Democrats heartily accept the nomination. They know that he is now, what he was when the war broke out, the fearless, unflinching friend of the Union. They know that he is now, as then, in favor of "fighting it out in this line" until the' devilish Rebellion is crushed. They regard with indignation and abhorrence the nomi nation of Adam J. Glossbrenner. They will remember that two years ago when Joseph Bally was the regular candidate, a disorgan izing faction brought out (i lossbrenner as an independent., disorganizing candidate for the sole purpose of defeating- Baily, because of his hatred of Secessionism and devotions to the Union. The War Democrats have "our account to settle" with the Clossbrenner dis organizers this fall. The Roialblicans and all friends of the Union call cordially and consistently sup port Mr. Baily. In a district where they cannot possibly elect a thorough Republican they owe it to the great Union Call,: of the country to give their votes,.without hesita tion to a man who has with unshaken loyal ty and unswerving firmness stood lty,. the government first, last and all the thee. His 'record' as a member of Congre'ss shows this conclusively. The Republicans voted for him taro years ago when the Glossbren ner faction ofdisorganizcrs fought to defeat him. Ile was then a Democrat he i s ,till a Dimmer:it. Whether he is for Lincoln 'or for MeClellan for the Presidency, we 11111 V haye entire confidence as to his I , ,rin'se in Congress with his past. •trecord' before us, That record shows him to be a firm, reliable, patriotic supporter or the tiovernment. Snell a man we want in Congress at this critical period and we therefore commend Mr. Rails to the undivided sr - pport of our triendi. MYER STROUSE ON HON. JOS BAILEY lion (?) Myer Strouse, the Jew-Copperhead member of Congress from Lebanon and Schuylkill counties, said recently in a speech at a "Ilrtnocrntie " meeting in hi , district. "that all the Democratic members of Con gress, who were elected its such, stood like in band of Spartan brother, in opposition to the Administration, c.reept one miserable 8011 of Pennsylvania "—meaning Hon. dos. Bailey of this district. We consider this a good roc commendation for Mr. Bailey—to be tra duced by men like Strou,o, whoscsympathies are with Jon Duvis Co., and who have always opposed the war and those who are upholding it, is evidence that Bailey has not failed to do his duty. We trust the peo ple of this district will sustain him by a tri umphant re-election. Elect Little Mac and then— Aye, elect Little - Mae and then look out for the ripening of the Sixth seal. For then you may exlw• t the rerstunption of the rebel war debt, $2,010,000,000, waking with our own, a total of nearly $.4,000,000,000. Elect Little Mae, tbr then you may ex pect to pay the rebels for s)olilltiffilS, losses, Confiscations, as touch 1110 re, making your national debt $6,000000,000. Elect Little Mac, for then you will never receive a dollar from England for the spolia tion on your commerce committed by rebel privedeers, fitted out in 'British ports and manned with British crews—a nice little sum of $50,000,000. Elect Little Mae, end compromise your troubles by paying pensions to wounded re bel soldiers for fighting your own brethren, thousands of whom have been even denied burial by these rebel braves. Elect Little Mac and have Lee, Beaure gard, Bragg, • lc., come back into the ser vice which they have left in dishonor, and pay them from your treasury the same sala ries you pay to the patriot Generals of thc, Union armies. ~Elect Little Mac and abandon to the ten der rnereiesof theslaveoligarehies the Union families of the south who have aided our. cause, and the Union men who have fought under our flag. Elect Little Mac and have 3our national currency superseded by legalized bank trash and add $500,004,000ty your debtto achieve this feat. Elect Little Mac and welcome Davis, Ste phens, Toombs, Foote, Mason, Slidell, etc., back to the Cabinet and the Senate, to crack their slave whips again around the ears of freemen. Elect Little Mae and abandon the cause of freedom forever. • ". Ho made a few desultory remarks," said the schoolmaster.

McClellange letter of acceptance, Vallandigham and all the other copperheads of his stripe givie in dications that ;they would not support the Gunboat General. We were never inclined td take much stock•in this movement. We 'regarded it as a cunning trick to secure the sup port of the War Democracy. McClellan owed his nomination to Val. and the faction controlled by him in the Cliticago Conven tion and he would not have received it had they not been perfectly satisfied with his rec ord and position. He was completely in their hands and when they gave him their support, it was in consideration that their party had been fully committed to the trea sonable dogmas of their platform. That every one of the peace faction would support McClellan, we never for a moment doUbted. He is every thing that the most ardent ad vocate of "peace on any terms',' could desire. Their show of dissatisfaction was merely in tended as a dodge to deceive the honest per tion of the - Democracy and to produce the impression that McClellan was a war Dem ocrat and a patriot and therefore objectiona ble to these men who have been doing their utmost to aid the rebellion. It was well known that many honest Democrats would never support a candidate whom Vallanlig ham and his followers supported and there fore it was deemed prudent to withdraw him from an active support of the Chicago nom- inees.• . Vallandigbam has however of late given public assurance that he would support Mc- Clellan. has made speeches at Dayton and Sydney, Ohio, in which he announces his determination to support the General in - ntite his leter of acceptance. lie takes the true position that the Democracy is c pmmitted to un abandonment of the war and that McClel lan's letter is not an expression of the princi ples of the party, He says : •t.I. do not concur in the sentiments ex pressed is the letter of acceptance of General Meet, x. What I shall say on this sub ject will meet the approbation of many of you ; it may not of all, but 1 ant here to spen k freely and candidly, therefore I allude to the subject. I Cannot agree with the distin guished gentleman, my friend, to whom I have alluded (Mr l'un ), that the letter is identical with the p'atforto presented by the Convention.

I low will the politi cians who contend that the letter of tweept tince is explanatory of the platform and in accordance with its spirit, an•l that both are pledges that the war for the Union will he carried on until treason is crushed, get a round this public declaration of the man who dictated the platform or their party. We are rejoiced tosee this support or G..n m,•ekii„„ Irs this. great 2111024/e Or eOpiler }Wallkill. It will tl'llll greatly to Illakt. 11i,- fillet issue between the two parties. The men who have always labored for the SLR . - eCtIS or the rebels, should be found supporting the Democratic nominees and we always feel disappointed when they refuse to do it.

Now we ask the honest Democraey, those who believe that Vallandightun and his sup porters taro enemies to their country naiad important allies of those who are in rebellion against the Government, whether they ean support his candidate for the Presidency ? Can loyal patriots mid disloyal men act in concert to accomplish a common purpose ? The Peace Democracy denounce the war, and insist it should cease at once, even if a divided Country and a ruined Governnumt be the result of its abandournnt. They 16111)- port McClellan for the purpose of bringing about that result. Can men who insist on the vindication of broken laws and the punish ment of traitors help them to a success which will he the destruction of our Government and the ruin of our country? jtyya. Mayor Gunther of New York has vetoed the resolution of the council to illu minate the City in honor of our recent great victories. His objections are: 1. That those who might not join 'Rau il lumination would be considered disloyal. 2. That those in power claim the victories as the reaultof the 'Emancipation Proclama tion." 8. That the new policy will give ns a suc cession of victories and that they might be called upon to illuminate three times a week if wo are to believe Administration reports of victories. 4. That we should abstain from rejoicing over victories gained in a civil war. We beg our readers to remember that thb man who vetoed such a resolution and for such reasons is not the Mayor of Richniond - and - the - apologist of Jetr i pavis, but the Chief Magistrate of New lork City and an ardent supporter of McClellan: 'But it is not; strange that he should oppose any re joicing over our victories. They aro doubt less the salvation of our Country but they are equally the destruction of his party's hopes for success. This gentleman only acts the part of a prudent politician. - Ire believes ithat the, Success of the Democratic Party is essential to the well being and prosper* of the country and lie believes that the country is entirely comprehended and included in'the squad of , politiehins who, manage the, Said. party.

The victories that drive rebel hordes from the borders of tho' loyal States or establish the authority of the Government in the heart of the rebellion produce no joyous feelings in the hearts of men who declare that the war is a failure, and who expect to rise to power because rebels have sucCessfully resisted the enforcement of the laws. Copperheads fully realize that their efforts and those of the reb els have a common object and therefore nev er pejmit themselves .to rejoice over the de feat of their own chosen allies. But our Democratic Mayor holds it wrong to rejoice over .victories gained in a civil war. Of course it is. What business have loyal men to rejoice when their worst one enemies are defeated ? What cause of joy has New York City because the force that has invaded the North, burning our towns and plundering our citizens has been defeat ed and driven in chnfusion and disorder from our borders ? If we were engaged in a war of conquest, waged for the purpose of wrest ing from a neighboring power some of her own territory then we might very properly rejoice over our victories. But as these are only victories over traitors who have stolen our property, attacked our Government, and murdered our friends and relatives, we should indulge in no manifestations of joy but re ceive the tidings of success in sullen silence in order that the feelings of these dear rebel brethern should not be unnecessarily wound ed. Such are the teachings of the patriots who lead the Democracy. Such is theitkiVe for traitors that not even the victories that free their homes from danger can cause thorn to rejoice nt the triumph of our cause. Are they not meaner traitors than those whose defeat they mourn? Gen. Hooker on McClellan The Copperhead papers assert that Gorier al Hooker has come out in support of Gen eral McClellan, and that he addressed a Dem ocratic club which called upon him while lately on a visit to a town in New York. We do not know what the political feelings of General Hooker are,.but a, we have not Lem told what rernarks he made on that oc casion, we prOF , 111111e• that they were patriotic and consistent with his proles•don as a true soldier and ardent lover of the Union. Long John - Wentworth, of Illinois, addr e ss e d 11 Democratic fleeting at Chicago, on the even ing previous to the Copperhead and yet John is a firm supporter ~f Mr. Lin coln and the war policy, so that the peace men must not conclude that every man who speaks at one of their meetings, or addresses Democratic clubs, is going to vote for their mongrcl ticket. We do know, however, what Gen. Hooker said Gen. McClellan, (m one occa-ion, while giving his testinaM)- 11efore the Committee on the Conduct of the War, and now extract a few of the questions and an,:wers: (biestion.---To what do you attribute the failure of the peninsular ,ampaigm An , wer.—.l do nut he,itkde to utv that it is to bc nttributed to the want of guneralAip oti the part of air comm under.

Senator SUMNER addressed the Union Ratification Meeting in Faincuil Hall last Wv.int-sfilly, in a campaign speech as effec tive as his higher parliamentary orations. Ile fastened on the pro-slavery Dennwracy the crime of engineering this Rebellion. lot his summary of the evidence again thoni ? Look at the Rebellion from beginning to end, and you will find that it has been engi neered by Democrats. You cannot forget that James Buchanan, a Democrat, was President surrounded by a Deinocratic Cabinet, while the Rebellion was allowed to organize and to gather strength wit bon t nterruption. herever you look now in the Rebellion, there you find the old Democracy; into which is absorbed John Bell and his followers, ar rayed against their country. Look at individuals; you will find that the larger half, constituting the controlling power of the old Democratic party, is now in arms against their country. Look at States ; you will find that all now in rebellion were, at its outbreak, Democrat ie States. It is natural that the Northern associates and allies of these Rebels should be engaged in devising apologies for rebellion. Fellow-citizens, in all this vast Union, whether the Union as it was or the Union as it is, there is not a single Republican in arms against the Government, or by organ izing with those who are. There is not a traitor among them. Here is a distinction between the two parties, which is as broad as the space between earth and Heaven. It is because the Democratic Party is at this moment so utterly mischievous and dis loyal, so really dangerous to our country, and so bitterly hostile to liberty, that 1 speak thus plainly. Soft words will not do in ex posing that combination nt Chicago where -the two factions comini.tgled into one. Call them, if you please, Pharisees and Sadducees. They are s.onething inure and something worse, if possible. They are the unarmed guerrilla bands of Jefferson Davis, who have stolen into the free States. 1 have used this language before. If 1 repeat it now, it is because I wish to put you tm your guard against these criminal marauders who, at this moment of peril, are ready to prey upon their country. Altir Suppose a Convention of Delegates from every part of the Southern Confedera cy and representing a party that claimed to be able to elect a President, had mot in Southern City and had resolved that the war for Southern independence was a failure, - and - declared - in favor of a cessation of—hos tility, how would their proceedings have been received at the North ? Would we not have rejoiced over such news as much as wo did over the fall of Atlanta or Now Orleans!

If such fiction by a griat party in the South would benefit the Union cause, will not the action of this Chicago Conven tion benefit them 7 No wonder the rebel soldiers cheered when they learned how effectively their friends at Chicago had aided them. General Sickles on the War Gen. Sickles has written a manly and pa triotic letter, declining the Union nomina tion for Congress in the Ninth District. The following is an extract: In declining the use of my name as a can didate for this high trust, I only adhere to a resolution formed when I entered the mil itary service to retire altogether front poli tics while holding a commission in the army. This determination, with other considera tions, had already constrained me, during the present canvass, to decline a similar re quest made by a number of my old and esteemed constituents in the Fourth District, who desired to present my name to the Dem ocratic Convention. I yield to no citizen or soldier in my solicitude for the honorable termination of the war. The war was de liberately begun by the Rebels, and is per sistently waged by them to conquer the Union. It is not so strange that our enemies should find allies among European antago nists of free institutions, but it will never cease to be a matter of humiliation and wonder that our Own people could he serious ly divided upon the question of su b m i ss i on or resb , tance. Let who will be for submis sion, I am fur resistance as long as we have a battallion or a battlefield left. Until the Constitution and LOONS are vin dicated in their bupremacy throughout the hind, the Governinent should be confided to no hands that will hesitate to employ all the power of the nation to put down _Rebellion. The resources of the insurgents are already so far exhausted that they will give up the struggle as soon as a majority of the people at the ballot-box, t-econding the martial sum mons of Parragut nund (Irant, demand the unconditional surrender Of the enemy.

She must have more than thirty thousand of her legal voters in camp to-day, whereof we are confident that less than two thousand are Democrats— and none of them are allowed to vt‘te, save at the poll of their respective hentes, where not one-tenth of them can he at their State election. om this distance, it l oo ks as if the odds were greatly against our side; but Gov.

The two columns were to afflict, a junction on the New Market, Road, and form their line of battle with Urd on the left and Birney on the' right. The bridge at Aiken's Landing is just below Dutch Gap, at present the head of navigation for our gun-boats.

In the rear of the line captured the enemy have three other strong lines, the front one whiCh is delimited by a double line of abattis.
