In the face of all this paraded twaddle, they

untidy endorsed and ru'ilied the nomination
of "Little Mac." Now, is it not a little
singular that these Republican Abolition ed-

Old es of their paper! Why is it that they
so wilfulry tie on the second page and
unwillingly tell lhe•truth an the third page!

bolitienl rope twisting of our abolitioh edi
tors suggests another very important idea
which is not to be lost sight of, viz : The
growing dissensions in their own miry,
which they vainly endeavor to conceirby
crying out "division", in the Demooratia
ranks. Since Wade has thrown his bomb
shell in their camp, and gudge Campbell
lighted his torpedo on their door delis, Ex-
Secretary Chase has become irreconoiled
and irreconcilable, and consequently the
Cincinnati Ortzette and Toledo Conamemal—
Chase organs—have advanced a la Sigel
several steps to the rear, and delivered a fear
ful charge info the thinned ranks of the Lin
eal nista. This oauses considerable squirm
ing, and I presume, upon the suppo
sition that "misery likes company,"
outlay of the Lincoln organs are now
laboring to produce divisions in other par
ties. The effort, however, will be fruitless.
The epirit'and determination of the Demoo-
racy of Ohio is unalterably fixed, and the
ides of November*lll pronounce theretfult
. greatly and gloriously in favor of the Chi
cago nominee's.
The canvass of the State is in full tide
and operation; political meetings aro being
held and olubs formed in 'every village,
town and hamlet, and never before, in the
history of MAO, was such enthusiasm man
ifested by the masses in favor of McClel
lan. On the other hand the Lincolnits are
making bet little effort-to advance the in
terests of their chief. Probably a lack of
the proper hidentive [Greenbacks] is the
cause. And what few meetings have been
held in some of the larger towns have been
but slimly attended. The fact is, the "Lin
coln pill" is too big to swallow and be
merry over, since Wade, the Chemist, has
analysed it ; hens, the, bought disciples
have concluded, and wisely too, to die ?is
natural and easy as possible.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN PAPER FOR
McCLELLAN
It keep us busy to notice the numerous
important changes—occurring daily. We
can scarcely , pick up an exchaur without
noticing some important accession to our
ranks from those of our opponents. The
Ann Arbor (Michigan) .Tournol, one of the
ablest anemost influential Republionn pa
pers in that State, has taken the names of
Lincoln and Johnson front the head of its
columns, and substituted the names of Geo.
R. 11CCIellan anti Geo. G. Pendleton. In
justification of its course, it uses the follow
ing arguments, which we commend to the
notice of every honest Republican

prosecuting the war successfully and deter

Being well satisfied, with the nomination
of Oen. McClellan, and with the resolutions
constituting the platform adopted by the
Democratic Nationll Convention, wo shall

the United States under the emancipation

a change of.the policy of the Government,

Volved the nation in a debt of pearly four
thousand million of dollars, which debt Is in
creasing each day at the rate of about four
millions of dollars. It is difficult to grasp
the full client or this immense burthen
which .Abolition rule has cast upon the
American people—let us try to illustrate it
by same familiar standard. if a man were
to count as fast as he could pronounce the
words distinctly, he would count eighty in
one minute, forty-eight hundred in ono
hour, and forty-eight thousand in a working
day of ten hours. At that rate it would
take him eighty four days to count the
money expended in one day. Again, an
acre contains six millions two hundred and
seventy—two thousand six hundred and for
ty square inches. Four millions of one dol
lar greenbacks, the expenses of each day,
°Wain seventy-six millings. of square
idolibs, or nearly enough to enikeky, foyer
thirteen acres of land. These Warding' fig
ures may produce some oorreot notimoithe
magnitude of the debt which is mortgaging
every house and every acre of land in -the
country. The Administration hms already
taxed very heavily everything imaginable,
except land, whichflready bears the burth

Lincoln another lease of power for four more
years, and land will no longer escape, but
will come in for the lion's share of Govern

never saw equalled, the people have only
ju.t arrived at► the" point from which
they should have set out. The Aboli
tionists taught the truth when they de
clared that there were only two parties,
one for and the other•against the Union.
It has required four years of bitter ex-
perienee to enable the people to sepa
rate the truth from falsehood, - and to
teach them that the Onion party was the
Demoeracy. It has cost millions of hu
man lives and inconceivable sums of
money to teach us what was told us years
ago by Stephen A. Douglas, that "war
divan ion, fi n al, dermal separation,'' and
apd
that the war party were the real distm;
unionists, who were organized upon
principles which had for their object the
honemberment of the Republic. The
lurt.rvrhiell elected Abraham Lincoln
has always been unsuccessful and al ,
ways will be, because it has always•been
fighting against a great principle, and
the laws of its e.xibthilee forbid that it
should fight against anything else.
When they commenced this war, they
showed their „utter ignorance of the
means by which the Union was formed,
or of the natural ties which held. the
States together. It is just as certainly
a law of nature that, war will sunder, in
stead of uniting contending *forces, as
that oil and water will not mix. ' When
South Cafta' and her sister States of
the South withdrew from the Union and
claimed a right to do so, it opened up 'a
question directly which had engaged the
attention of the wisest statesmen for
many years. lt.should have been tnet
calmly, and discussed in all its bearings,
and every effort made to strengthen the
bonds of union which had united us as a
Peeplo for 50 many years. It is evident
to any one who has taken the pains Co
trace up the great events which followed
each other so -rapidly in the Winter of
1860 and spring of 18(11, that the lead
ers of the secession movement at the
South calculated well and, truthfully the
course which would be pursued by the
newly instated power of the North. They
knew full well that the Abolitionists, in
their blind hatred of slavery, would
seize the first opportunity to make war
upon the Southern States, and thus alien
ate the hearts of the poohe of those
States from the old Union and create a
breach which All ova efforts could not
heal. The tesult shows how well their
calculations had been made. The mo
ment . hostilities commenced, the ' last
bond of union 'was severed, and every
blow struck but•-widened the breach.
Had the . Union been but a thing of pa
yer, something which had no existence
in reality v it would matter but little how
it was maintained. If. we are striving
only for the name of "Union," it makes
little difference whether it is maintained
upon its original principles 'or pinned to

natural truths, and no matter' by whom

and destroys the bonds of Union: -. ThoSe

~
Now, between . cClellan and Lincoln
there are many points of difference — the
former is a man of talents, of information,
of firmness and great - military experiente
and ability—the latter is a supple, pliant,
easy fool, a good but vulgar joker. While
McClellan has the interest of the Union only
at heart, Mr. Lincoln line the fanatical ob
ject. of freeing negroes for his inspiration.
Between "my plan" as Gen. Grant has con
,ducted it, and one by Gen. McClellan/there
could not have been the same success that
has already attended our arms, for we lost
more men in fighting the science of McClel
lan on the Peninsula than wo have in repel
ling the furipue but ill-conducted assaults
of Grant. .
Thus, whether we view' this nomination
in the light of peace or of war, we prefer
Lincoln to McClellan. We.cap make better
y

than with an earnest U t midst. 15 . 0 can
gain more military sue° as in a war con

people are tired of the war, will end it by
a peace that sacrifices terbitory to freedom,
and will let the South "go," provided she
curries slavery with her. These men be

Both the Abolitionist and the Democrat •. 1
our enemy—the one, .because we have
slaves, the other, because we are disunion
ist s. Nor does their enmity differ in degrees ;
they both hate us most intensely. The
Chicago platform is, that "pence may he
lostored on the basis of the Federal Union
of Ibe States"—that is, reconstruction of
the Union as it wits, with slavery protected
by the nominal laws, but warred upon by
areal sentiment, aggravated and embittered
by the war. The reconstructerUnion of
the Chicago platform would be the certain
destruction—first, pf slavery, and next of
slaveholders. With Lincoln and the Balti
more platform, we of the Confederate States
know where we are,—outiode of the pale of
men, devoted to rutu anti desthetion„with
no hope save in the iustice - and protection
if (led, and the courage and manliness of
our soldiers. With swords and muskets
and cannon we fight Lincoln, and the past '
affords .no reason of apprehension of the
future: lint in the reconstracted Union of
the Chicago platform' we would be deprived
of our weapons without being reconciled to
our foes.
There is no question that between the two
men General Meetsllan enjoys far more of
the respect of the people of those States
than Lincoln, and the Democratic party far
more of our confidence than the Republican,
and that if reconstruction was possible it
would be far more probable under McClel

and the Republicans. The North-west in

No. 38:
MR. LINOOLN'S POLITICAL TRICKS
The great premier of the administration
has left his luxuriou rooms in the State De
partinent,-gene out Miff ta6 atmosphere oC
Washington, into that of the toiling, thri
ving people, and from a stand 'point view's
thp government not only trout afar, but ..m
-lightena the people with the ideas engen: ,
tiered around the cabinet table of the pres
ent dynasty. Dealt lug 'to pass over the
misrepresentation, falsehood, egotism, and
silly twaddle of Mr. Seward's speeches at
Auburn, N. Y.—for it abounds in all—we
will here refer - only to two tentementa made
by the learned and astute secretary }lrmo;
he esperts-there will be no draft, as the vol
unteering has furnished the government with
anfficient, force to recruit tile armies. This
stay have been the secret of the cabinet
council room, but it was never intended in
be mash: known to the voltudeering miutites
till the re-euforcentent of. the army wee ap
accomplished fact or the election safely over
Mr. Reward, however, became excited in hii
speech, was melees for his master, desired
to conciliate votes, and out it carne—plum
ply out, and, preato, change! nett a recruit
ing office next day secured a respectable
corporal's guard of volunteers. Two dnyj.
afterwnrds, however, Mr. 'Stanton, in a dis
patch to General Dix, states most posithely
that the draft must be enforced if the quo
tas are not filled, and the draft se now actual
ly grang on.' Thus the ardent hopes of Mr.
Seward's auditors are chilled by a most 1111-
, nard_spri , od. ug s J I .a -Matatry.-thiail.
that that gentleman looks rather-tint.
Again ha-endeavors to counteract the very
bad effects of Mr. Lincoln's letter, " to whom
it may concern," and he states that when
the rebel armies are subdued, an' the wea
pons of rebellion laid down, the administra
tion will not require the abandonment of
slavery. As this is just the very Opposite
ground taken by Mr. Lincoln in his letter,
.are can come to know other conclusion than
that Mr. Beward speaks by authority, and
that the pilgrimage to Auburn,,was but a
presidential order to assist in carrying the
next election. The ill effects of the letter
which makes the abandonment of slavery a
condition precedent to a compromise and
pence, have startled Mr. Lincoln, for he sees
- thwt - tWelTeelite are Tepidly'ciiiffiiilTO - Tlie
conclusion that no pence can be acquired so
long us he is in office, and M.. Seward must
thei store correct the stupid blunder.
But as he was just' as uncertain and un
reliable in the matter of the draft, so is he
iu this latter statement. It is perfectly ob
vious that it is a piece of an eleclioneering
ohichanery—one of Mr. SeWnrd's subtle
tricks, a [rap, a snare, a falsehood, and an
unstatesmanlike attempt to secure votes to
perpetuate the preach[ despotism. Let hut.
Mr, Lincoln be re-elected, and merciless
conscriptions, enforced by no honied words
will show how the atmosphere has changed
after the 7th of November. With his re
election, all other conciliatory and liberal
promises, with which we are new so plenti
fully regaled, will he forgotten, and the mad
career of national havoc and disruption
along whirl, we are now rushing still be eon
tinned rot-years longer, till se are sunk in
the vortex of - our troubles' anti universal
ruin swallow all. 1
No—the remedy is now. Pot not. your
trust
. ii such honied phrases. The election
is nigh`, --and rbir'eTeiny grows wily and po
litic. Be not deceived. The to-election of
Abraham Lincoln must never be permitted.
flow Ir Is, As n Now IT WILL BE.—The
Yankees, who brought on this unhappy war
and who are too cowardly to fight, are now
getting the Germans, the Irish and the nig
gem to fight for them. They call steal, but
they are too cowardly to tight. Wepiave no
Yankees either in the army or navy who
have been distinguished In this war. Far.

flow Delaware, Porter wan horn in New
GI leans, and his father was a Pennsylvanian
Gen. lilcCliellan is a Pennsylvanian ; Geant
awl Sherman are front the West. Ucast
Bottler is the only (twinge/shed Yankee we
know of, and he ha 4 stolen front the South
ern people over a million of dollars during
this war. When you call en the Yankee
-States for soldiers, they Alar stolen niggers
in their stead. They want the slaves to
rder their masters, and they !tient the
.7aater's propnaty. If Lincoln is re-elected
' very nigger woutman will be given a white
usband, and every htYck nigger will have
his choice of the white - women of Philadel
phia. The poor white laborer will be forced
to work all his life to 'support free i:ggers.
