The time draws near when the lottery of death wilt - begin, and five hundred dimmed men will be willed epos to give up all they hold dear on earth and enter the slaughtertpens of Liaceht.— 1 When conscription wu first talked of, it was opposed by the. Democracy because they believed it to be anti-Republican and unconstitutional. In a government Jam ours, and in a war lan that being now waged, whenever sufficient soldiers to carry' it on cannot be obtained by - the volunteer system the war ought to oease ; because 'tumult/her of Americans would volunteer in any war which they be!ivied to be for the general good, and struggle on almost against hope, if the object for which they fought was worthy of the sacrifice. Tffiire will always be a few . captious persons to resist anything which threws any responsibility upon . them ; but in this case the voice of a great ma jority of the American people is against thia mode of raising armies, and par-'I ticularly in a civil war where'the issues at stake may very naturally have two sides. Is it in accordance with' the `Ameriestrtheory - -that man iiryaNbto I of self-government--to force any number of men into an army where they will _]Ze compelled to commit what their con science tells them is murder? The gov ernment our fathers reared never con templated such an issue, it never meant to raise a question in any one's con science between his duty to his God and to his government. In the hearts of thousand of thoseWhO will be drafted .1 on the stll . Apt. that issue will be ai. rectly raised, and none but the veriest moral ceward would hesitate p moment in his choice.

I "'ld "4:1 -aiust.--.1.4-peteiiiterte-edstnitto an arbitrary law of a black Despotism, our fathers won for ns our liberties, and to pursue the same course now is our only hOpe of preserving them. In opposing the poWer which reaches forth to drag us to the field of slaughter, we do not come in collision with the government; but with a Revolutionary power which has overturned the Constitution, and established in its stead a horrible despo tism,- which has for its object the subju ; gation of fifteen states of this:Union, and the slaughter of millions of white men to force "Tire ABANDONMYST OP SLLVIIILY." The Conscription act, as it now stands, with tbie commutation clause repealed, is the first instance in our hi tory, in which the Executive has dicta ted laws to the Legislative branch of government, and compelled their pai -1 sage. Nothing in the history of the last three years his told so plainly of our de parted greatness as this act. - Congress on their first vote, refused to repeal the commutation clause, and were only driv etajnto it by the pressure of the Execu tive power. Now they tell us that the Democratic party clamored against the ,threr hundred dollar clause because it favored the rich man at the expense of the poor. And so they did but it is worse a thousand times now than before. What hope has a poor man left hinsl mire that "of dying that ho may escape the chains which have been fettered up on hilt ? By selling all he poseased on earth, he might escape the bloody hand by the payment of three hundred dollars; but now while the rich only can com mand the price of , r substitute ; the poor man is compelled to enter the army side by side with the negro his rich neighbor has hired in his stead. And this is the " poor tuan's party," which promised " homes for the homeless " and protection for the laborer. Iloir 'have they kept their word? Go to Virgil:A : a and view a million graves, a hundred battle-fields strewn with the festering carcases which three years. ago wore the happy inmates if a thousand happy homes, and see hear Lincoln has fulfilled his promise of " land for the landless." A spot of earth six by two, a sod whereon a hundred forms may lie and rot is what his followers have been given. And he asks for your votes to continue him in power. On the sth of September nhe threatehs half a million of the best blood in the land with death, and in Novem ber asks you to vote for him. Will you do it? If you like blood and ruin and horror, debt and taxation and death, you can have all of them at his hands. If you tire of the darkneit and long for the sun of prosperity to shine again, vote ' for the party ;pone whose banners it never went down. We bare-taken ;outriders&le paina to find out the strength of the Linooin party in this county, and now lay befor e s our readers the result, as near as can be arrived at. About one dozen of Provost and derty Provbst Marshals; twenty three -epics and informers ; nineteen pimps that would like to be appointed spies and informers; ten , "govern ment " tax assessors, collectors and clerks ; four partners in the Ist National Bank of Bellefonte ; seventy-five candi dates, for Post and other offices; !Sev enteen fools, who are ffir'littooln hecaese Democrats are opposed to him ; thirty miseegenationists who'want black wives ; ninety-six niggers who want white wives ; thirteen cripples, not liable to ; one hundred individnalsthatare m hopes of getting some petty appointment.— There may be a few miscellaneousent see ready for anybody, or anything, but they will. not make the whole number vary fiflf.

The abolition Omen end orators are laboring Moot andduously to make the people believe that Abraham Lincoln is anxious and willing to rage peace, when ever the Cmfederate authorities are ready to aesept terms that will be hon orable alike to both sections of the coun try. Therms that; the popular mind has grown tired of war, ths4 . the great names are longing for rest. for quiet, for peace, and are shifting, their course hoping. to catch the unthinking—to de ceive the unwary into the suppoit of the dirty old joker *hese ory is still biblood. They know that they are telling the peo ple a positive lie, when they say Lincola desires peace ; they, know that they are resorting what is false; when,they deolire he is willing and anxious to have hostili ties cease ; they know that it is to his in terest, to their interest, and to the inter est of their party, as a political organi sation, tb continue it as long as possible, for when there is no longer ",green hacks " to manufacture and bteal, when there is no longer an army vote to re turn falsely, when there is no Linger , 1 - of petty officer WOE and 'no longer an. excuse for "militaryneeessi ey, " 7 -their. power .pill vanish like mist 'before the sun.

If he wants peace why is he calling for more men to prolong the war, why are his conscript agents busy ••• • • • oureititieescroza-eh.• homes to fill . the decimated ranks of the army?

They are growing rich by its continuance and will not let it stop ita long as it •is possible to get men and money to keeP it up. He has had scores of chances to settle our difficUlties honorably; not a day has-pas sed since the pommencemont of the war, but he Could have done it, had he so desired, but it was not to the. interest of his party to do so and he refused. Ab olitionism wants no settlement, it wants no union with the Southern States, it wants their Biggers and their land, it wants to lieeou the blood and treasur wrung from the laboring masses: - ,of the North and the plantations stolen and confiscated from, the citizens of the South. This is what it wants and this is what it will fight to have if the people can again be deceived into the support of Abraham Lincoln. He does not want peace; listen not to the lies of his follow ers. —lf you want to vote for men who ara in favor of the governmetit of our fathers, vote the ,Pemoeratic ticket. .If you want to vote for men who are in favor of a peacefut, prosperous, happy country, vote the Democratic ticket. If you want to vote for hbnest, compe tent men to fill your district and county offices, vote the Democratic ticket. • But if you would favor those who ale laboring to prolong the war, to increase your already enormous tazation, to di vidaforever your country, to have draft after ,drakt take place, to make negroes your equali,'lte eat up your property in war and bounty taxes and murder your selves in a vain attempt to subjugate the people of the Southern States, vote the Abolition ticket ; the candidates on it are in favor of war, of bloodshed, of con scription, of taxes and 9f ultimate dis union.

But a word to our fellow-citizens who are living ins state of sicipense and fear, in view of the approaching conscription.— There is a clause in the Declaration of In dependence, which is the only one in that revered instrument to which the abolition traitors have ever paid any attention ; it says, that all men have an inalienable right to Life, LAW'', and-the pursuit of Hopi am. Lincoln bas always acted as though he thought these words were intended- only for the negro. Ile has causelesely destroyed hundreds- of thousands of lives. Ile has stricken down our liberties and. created a ,despotism mere dark, unfeeßng, bloody and damnable, than.waa ever before erected on the ruins-,efA nation so fr ee and intelligent as mare:" Atitt be now proposes to send 600,000 of us to the battle-field in "pursuit of happixess !" In view df these truths, we ask who has alienated these rights declared to be inalienable, and secured to us by the Constitution f What should be the punish ment of the one who interferes with things No sacred and important ? Our government Wail founded upon the theory that all power originated with the people. When the people, the whole peo ple, assent or dissent,,to tiny measure, no matter in what manner they may do io, can the measure which they disapprove be foroed upon'them ? We are engaged in a most "cruel, bloody and unnecessary war. A war that has been perverted from its Original legitimate objeot, and is waged to attain an end wholly illegal, inhuman and nnoonsti tutional,7,—opposed to justice, 'reason and sense, The pervision of this struggle is plainly declared by those who are waging it. More men are Galled for to carry it eq. None are enlisting for this phrpOse. All, loyal and disloyal, hang back alike. As Democrats, we frankly say that we will not enlist to continue this war to free negroes. Abolitionists practically say the same thing by refusing to tfll up the make. This uni ted action of the whole people, is a protest, silent, but of the most telling force, - against the further proseentien of the war. Th, Government proposes to force us into the army. We ask halt not the duty of us all to resist with all the means at our command, this last attempt to alienate our right to life, liberty, and Alio pursuit of happiness!" head carefully Lincoln's words at the head of this article, and ask yourselves if "the apt time " , has not arrived.—lowa Bate Press. The Reign of Shoddy. We thank Ifeaven that the reign of the shoddy contractors and plunderers, who have grown fat upon the wealth of the peo ple is about over. On every side we feel and see indications that the people are awa kening to a realising sense of their con dition and are preparing 'by an over whelming majority to defeat the adminis tration at the approaohing eleotion. The aspect of the two political parties is extremely satisfactory to conservative men. Fanaticism is daily sinking under the weigh of its own errors and follies, while true Un ionistple rising in the ascident. Another month will show still more olearly the rela tive progress of political events, and prove the certainty of the defeat of the abolition and shoddy pimps who are now plundering theAlovernment. The eyes of Ore people are fast opening to behold their real Ono don—their voices are being raised to high heaven for relief from their suffering and have resolved in their hearts that Lin coln and Shoddy shall be decapitated at the same blow. Then, then find not till then will peace and prosperity again, be restored— (Mai, flak' Democrat. ---- Yuri „Pattemswr EITIVONIV Aft.MAX —The.gnistration- press bad-staidly persi pnying Chi v as mission with which Maunder H. hens sought to come to Washington ad any referenoe whatever to peso..
