Be all at Work.

The election is close at hand. One week only remains to complete the arrangements for it. We therefore urge the republicans in all the towns to use the time well and leave no part of their work incomplete. Use personal effort to any extent that may be necessary to counteract hostile influences and make the vote as strong as possible. Many of those who have seemed to be with the "people's" democratic party, are more inclined to withdraw from it than you may suppose. The right word, from the right person, at the right time, will confirm the decision to withdraw, already half made.

This is no time to neglect faithful attention to political duty. The issue between those who would organize opposition to the president's war policy and favor the aim of the traitors, by driveling about compromise with them, is too momentous to be disregarded by loyal men who are in earnest.

Complete the canvass in every school district, and make ample arrangements, arrangements that cannot fail, to bring every republican to the polls on the fourth of November. Let the organization for this purpose be thorough and reliable. The loss of a single representative or senator through the lack of a few votes that might have been secured with a little more effort, would not be a pleasant thing to think of while scanning the election returns. Take such measures as will make a disaster of this kind impossible.

Be careful of your selection of men for representatives, especially in the districts that are rather close. Surely, those who may desire nominations, will not in such cases, at this time, be desirous to press their claims, but rather, leave the matter to the honest judgment of the nominating conventions. The aim should be in every case to elect as well as nominate.

If the opposition party could succeed in Massachusetts, it would be the heaviest calamity to president Lincoln's administration that has yet befallen it. On the other hand, the success of the republicans by overwhelming majorities, would be a renewed endorsement of the president that would be felt throughout the country. Here are the reasons why we should do our utmost to poll every vote that can be secured for the republican candidates.

We think republicans, and all who are truly loyal to the administration, may well be encouraged by the signs of the times. The evidences multiply on all sides, that the partisan opposition has seen its most prosperous period, and that a week hence, Gov. Andrew and the state government will be endorsed again with the usual satisfactory majorities.

It was not strange, that, with such a fierce beginning as the "people's movement" had, many should have been mystified as to the honesty of its intentions. And now, while the smoke from their premature batteries is clearing away, we are more gratified than surprised to see that the masses of the people are still where they have been from the beginning,-on the side of the president, and on the side of the state government which at this time represents him more truly than any other local administration in the loyal states.

The orators who in a rash moment enlisted in the crusade against Mr. Andrew have already abandoned some of the chief accusations which had been contrived for his injury, and are concentrating their power upon the other object of their hate-Mr. Sumner. The irreproachable official record of the chief executive of the commonwealth is a mark too high for their slings and arrows. It is due to the president; it is due to the loyal people in all the states who for nearly two years have looked to Massachusetts for the best examples of patriotic service; it is due, as we believe, to the only safe and wise public policy in regard to the rebellion, that he should be sustained by majorities the moral effect of which cannot be questioned. And he will be.

The Richmond Whig, in a recent article on the impossibility of compromising with the north or ever living again in the old Union uses the following decided language :—

"Henceforth we are two people. If conquered-if forced into provincial vassalage- we must bear our condition with such fortitude as we may. To that which is inevitable -to that which involves no culpability of their own-the best and bravest men may submit. But to voluntary debasement to willing fraternity with the robbers and murderers of our people-never. never."

The men at the north who, by their party actions and affiliations, are gradually breaking ground towards conciliation or compromise with the rebels, would do well to study the foregoing extract. Indeed, every scrap of evidence which reaches us from rebel sources exhibits the pertinacity of the traitors. They do not ask for conciliation or compromise. Their leading journalists read the speeches of Whitney, John Van Buren, and Seymour, praise them highly, and proceed to explain to those gentlemen how foolish it is to talk of peace until the confederacy is firmly established. They like the speeches well enough, for they are typical of dissensions and divisions at the north,—a state of feeling which must conduce largely to the final success of the confederate cause.

The plain issue, advanced by the traitors, is a prosecution of the war, until they achieve a separate nationality. To endeavor to meet this on the part of the north, by proposals of peace conventions and the like, is not only cowardly, but absolutely useless. We have got to subdue the rebels, or submit to a dissolution of the Union. We must have a speedy, courageous, vigorous prosecution of the war to save the republic from its enemies.

Now, more than ever must our action be harmonious and united. There can be but two parties in this conflict,-the government against the rebellion. Let us all give our unequivocal support to the former,-so that secession may be subdued,-and the Union be preserved.
