The Elections
Summary
Editorial discussing the upcoming elections and the overwhelming defeat of the Copperheads in the states of Ohio and Pennsylvania. In Ohio, the verdict against candidate Clement L. Vallandigham was such that his name will be aligned with that of Benedict Arnold. In Pennsylvania, former Major General McClellan threw his support for a known Copperhead and now McClellan's name is sullied. His support did not help to elect the man he supported. "In politics, as in war, blunders are alike fatal." The people of the various states see through Copperhead politics and support the Administration. It is assumed this will be the result in the Maryland election.
