It is a common easing just now with Abo lition traitors who support tho infamous Ad ministration cf Lincoln, that " this was tho 'best government on the face of the earth—a government protecting freemen, and which was carried on .without taxing tho people, and under whose flag nil classes were pros perous, hnppy and contented." True enough, indeed, Before Abolition fanatics and iud dola got hold of the ship of State wo were a favored and prosperous people—every map living under his own vine anti fig tree, with none to molest or make him afraid. The country had boon made. great, powerful and strong under tho wise Administrations of Democratic statesmen. But when Lincoln and his treasonable supporters were foisted into power, a blighting curse followed; war, desolation, starvation, murder, peculation, high taxes and a wide-spread immorality are tho fruits of Mr. Lincoln's election. Wo are no longer freemen—the "one man power" rules, and a once free mid proud people are driven like cattle to the slaughter-house.— Talk about the arbitrary power possessed by the czar of Russia—it is nothing in compari son with the power exercised by that man of little mind, Lincoln.’ Never in the history of tho world did a petty tyrant dare attempt such outrages as Lincoln has put into prac tice. He has imprisoned and banished his fellow citizens without cause and without trial, he lias, by his devilitdi and traitorous policy, bad thousands of our young men slaughtered, he has piled up a debt upon our people (rightful to contemplate, and which never can and never will bo paid. lie has violated alike Ins promises and the provi sions of the Constitution, and he calls for 500.0d0 more men every sixty days to ena ble him to carry out his God-defying designs. Oh, let the people rellect—let them p mder over the position wo once occupied and com pare it with the present. Wu were a appy and prosperous people—wo,had a good gov ernment—but howls it now ? Cun wo re medy this end and humiliating state t f af fairs ? Of course w«? can never as a people be what wo formerly were. Tate* will grim! down the industry of uur children's children for generations to come ; but yet wo enn do much to rescue the ountry from the inevi'n ble ruin that threatens it. Let the people then set their faces like flint against the partv and the men who have brought these calami ties upon ns, ami wo may yet, possibly, have a country that wo can live in. Our neighbors nf the Herald take ex ception to several small articles in our last paper. They assert that Secretary Stant ojf rfcvor made the declaration that he elected 0 iv. Curtin, by sending Abolition troops in to this State to vote fir him. But Stanton diil make the declaration, nevertheless. He will not dare deny it—-lie never has denied it. and never will. Another squib in the Volunteer is consider ed “ a Utile funny” by the H?nthl. It is the one in which we mentioned the fact that J/h -jor Fitr.D DuL'qias (negro.) iw on the stump fur Lincoln. AV o don’t know to what regi ment Fked belongs, but wo think there cun'’ bo no doubt that he wears si Major’s uniform, and it is certain that ho is now advocating the election c.f Lincoln. Sonic time ago ho was opposed to the.“smutty joker,” hot a j visit to the white house made him all right, t and l,c in Ijuit zvaluui in behalf of the Un ion-splitter. " The Herald is also shocked at the declara tion wo made that Bon Lincoln, the Presi dent’s eon, has ma lb some $ 10n,000 since the election of his father. Our neighbors can’t sc© “ what special facilities a President's son tn«y have for making m-mey,” Ah. indeed ? AVhy “the President's non," of all others, can exercise a most powerful influence in the way of obtaining fat contracts for particular friends. Bon has become rich, and this is well known at AVasliinglon, and it will not do for collar-men to deny a palpable and unde niable fact. Bod is a strapping voting mart, 21 years ot age. He has never been drafted, however, and' more than this, he never will be, for his name hos never been put into Lin coln’s draft lottery box. Mr. Lincoln would consider it dreadful should his son be forced into the army to bo shot down in front of Petersburg. But other men’s sons have to go through this ordeal, and Mr. Lincoln can look on with utter indifference, am! ask for \ a R f >"g as fie rides over a field covered with i blood and brains. Wo are in favor of conducting this cam paign “in a spirit of fainuM* and h'lnestv. 1 ’ but at the same time wo intend t.» hold up to view the villainies of the TtemhV* Wash ington masters, come wlmt may.

Tho ahoddyitoa* office-holders and collar men appear to be in a terrible eta Da of mind at present. The fierce opposition manifested against the imbecile, Lincoln, by nearly nil tho leading men of Ids own parly, causes his menials and dependents ti squirm like eels under tho skinning process. Some of them scold, threaten ami blaster, others use soft and gentle language toward the " bolters/ and some confess that Lincoln's prospects are decidedly “ gloomy." The Harrisburg Trlrpraph , winch is owned and Conducted by office-holders and •buddy-"’ ites, belongs to tho scolding class. It threat ens Senators Cowan, Wade and Johnson with condign punishment, and speaks of such men as Ex-President Fillmore. Gon. Fre mont, Ex-Govcrnup Johnson of this State, Winter Davis, Greeley, Weed and hun dreds of others who have announced them selves opposed to Mr. Lincoln, as " vaga bonds," who deserve banishment! ' 'When wo consider the character of the men thus assailed by Lincoln’s paid hirelings, we can form some idea of the state of mind they are in and how anxious they feel about tho lucrative places they occupy. But nil will not do. Lincoln has boon tried, and has been found wanting. The ranting of his menials will not avail him.— Tho deep muttering* of a deceived, betrayed and robbed people can bo heard like distant thunder, and before tho " smutty joker" is aware of it tho storm will he upon him and engulf him. Are such men as Fillmore. Fremont, Cowan, Johnson. Wade. Davis of Md., Weed, and others to be intimidated by the denunciations and threats of hirelings and plunderers? No, no. They have spo ken of Lincoln as •* u usurper," who is anxious to see tho war go on fu* the “ acooin • p'.ishment of his own political aspirations," ami they knew what they were saying.— They arc not the kind of men to he fright ened by the threats of Lincoln’s miserable tools. . “ The work goes bravely on.’ 7 Lincoln. who received his n uumation at the hands of his office-holders, sho I lyites, contractors, thieves an I Snub Carolina negroes, is •loomed. The people, thank G»d. have got their eyes upon—they are angry, defiant, de termined ; they have sworn in their hearts that the Lincoln dynasty, with all its cor ruption infamy, trees m, infidelity and (jcoundrelism. must bo put down. They are in earnest, and they will, if necessary, march to tlm polls in November with their rifles in their hands, and exorcise the. privilege that the potty tyrant and demagogue, Ann Lin coln, would deprive them of. We repeat, the people are in earnest, and they are ang ry, and are detenninml to save the country even if they jeopardize their own lives.— “Got out of the way.” blacksnakes, for we tell you the yeomanry are Lot to bo trifled with this time. No Peace. —lt is authoritatively denied by adminislrationists lliat there is the remotest probability of peace commissioners to Rich mond Icing appointed by President L’ncdn. He will not recede from his ultimatum lo pence—that slavery must he abandoned,— Even overtures from the South which should not contain that stipulation would be quick ly rejected, as heretofore. The people can therefore clearly understand what is the grand obstacle to peace ami a restoration of the Union. - The largo number of Republi can newspapers and leaders that have gone out from Mr. Lincoln's support d ,es b"t to convince him nf the mvc-'dtv of n change of policy. lie Ims hardened Ills heart and stiffened hin nock, and, unices his office Ind ders can iment n plan to bring about hi* election by fraud, he will ftiek by hie ultima- In'll! his negro love—until both ho and his abominable sentiment have sunk into never ending, hateful retirement.

Tiic Extra Fhshin.— The militia" bill parsed at the extra session of the Legislature is a fair sample of abolition legislation in liiis State. Ir gives the Governor power to anpointnill officers ulnae captain, to dralt the 16 Regiments from any port inn. of the C* m monwealth, to seize horses, supplies and railroad**, and leaves the men liable to na tional draft, and allows them to betaken nut of the State at the pleasure of the authori ties. It ul-o fines volunteers 95 d-liars for not furnishing themselves with uniforms, and imposes other heavy penahies. The other Legislation U of a like character. The dominant party had tiling* their own way, anil it is no wonder that papers like the Philadelphia (urpurer cries out against it.

The veteran soldiers, though, would greet it as they would o messenger from Heaven. O’* General Sherman says that to put down rebellion d-nurnd* • univerul drift WHAT THE SECRET MIDNIBHT PAHt THAI- TOKS say. The following precious paragraph 'will bo found in a late number of a “ loyal” Gov ernment organ at Pittsburg—tbo Gazette : “ 1/ the people of the north will not volun teer to avoid thedraft, there is one thing.they can do—bo prepared to fight the rebel aym patlnzers at homo who are preparing for re sistance. It is not at all improbable that we may have a domestic war on our hands, and that wo may have to hang, draw and quarter the copperheads, who will esteem it a glory to Tie m ambush nnd.ahoot at Union men, or skulk at night to tiro the houses and barns of the friends of the Government." This looks very much like a rocomenda lion to loyal leaguers to stay at home, says tlio Patriot <£ Union, The only thing that militates against looking at it in that light is the fact that that class of our valuable citi zenship dobs notneqd tbo recommendation— they are staying at both©, pretty generally. But they are also recommended to “ be pre pared to fight the rebel sympathizers who arc preparing for resistance.” Is this “ sar casm?" A recommendation of that sort could hardly ho made in seriousness to per sona who thoir precious fine cloth persons in defending on the battle-field that “glorious old flag" which they so patri otically uphold—at a distance—by holding all the fat offices. It must bs a sort of rusty irony that is being poked at these *• loyal" fellowa. Looking upon the expression in that light the gurgmi of a domestic war may bo used as a 83arc-cro\v to frighten away the “ loyal" crows, who have become gorged and bulky upon tbo public carcass, that u new flock may get a chance at the feast. Bloody leasts, the writer well knows, are not to the taste of those vegetarian, place-hunting shoddyites who ruminate upon the light green vegeta ble aliment, known ns Government pap.— Tho "drawing and quartering of Copfiar headti" is an amusement with which they are not so familiar as the drawing of their quar terly greenbacks. Nor is it agreeable to them to think of being shot from ambush lor being Union men. when, God knows, and they know, they hold no pretensions to more of a Union sentiment than is necessary to secure its spoils at the paymaster’s office If the bloody paragraph in question is merely a ruse to scare away the more timid of the seekers from the public teat, to make room for another lot of very hungry ones, th n there is no barm done—to the " victors be long the spoils/* But, if published with an ; earnest desire to influence loyal leaguers to deeds of blood, then it needs attention and treatment of another eort. In the'first place, it is a discouragement of enlistments, for it recommends certain, men In stay at home to resist other men.— Those other men will then have to sbiy-vat homo to rebut those certain men, and so no*, body will the war in Dixie. Tbis-is a-: case for Secretary Stanton. ’ In the second place, it recommends certain men to bo prepared to fight at home, thereby making it necessary fur other men to he pm pared to defend themselves. This is stirring up sedition and advocating civil w.ir and bloodshed, for which the writer should hoar rested and held fur counseling violation of the civil law. In ills tlnjtd pines, it says, “ wc nlay have to hung, draw and quarter the Copperheads." This “ we" is an irresponsible, “ particular” editor of a " loyal” shoddy news paper. For Rush lynch law* instincts he should tie compelled to cool his had blood in the dark and damp recesses of a county jail. In the fourth place, for telling tho false hood that Copperheads (by which is meant Democrats) "would esteem it a glory to skulk in ambush and shoot Union men," lie deseryea the punishment awarded to Ilia' an cestor—hy name Ananias. Altogether, tho loyal leaguer who has the temerity and in-decency to publish the false, incendiary stuff as above, is fit only for strat agems and spoils. His proper place is among demons in darkness, or, at the very least, among unsocial hats and owls. Ho is not part and parcel of hunihnity. Wc will venture the assertion that his pocket js linlod with the spoils of our suffering c.idntfy ; tlliit lie has never shouldered a musket or drawn a sword for the negro cause of hie shoddy master; and that, from a housodop or trom round a corner, ho would delight to send a secret bullet though a " Copperhead" from the Sharp’s rifle which he and thousands of others of the loyal leaguers are known to have concealed hi their houses. Stahvino the South. -Wo have heard many rumors of tho starving condition of the rebel armies, and have had it predicted with periodical exactness that very soon, if not sooner, tho people of tho South would ho compelled to succumb from shore want of (lie wherewithal to sustain life. The follow ing extract from an exchange, if it lie true, and wo take it to lie about as nearly so as most of the starvation stories with which ab olition newspapers have abounded, represents our prospect of reducing tho obdurate citv of Charleston us more hopeful than it has been atnny former period. It would ho distress ing to road tlio following, hut for the fuel that wo must all admit that tho rebels of that doomed city are entirely undeserving of the slightest sympathy. The Writer says; Tho siege of Charleston has been in pro grass f or three humired ami twen/y-eiyld days ! " Charlestown is almost taken.” The peo ple am in the last stages of starvation," they have been reduced' to the last turkey gobbler^—and be is so tough and strong and tho rebels so weak from hunger, that they have nut got the'strength to kill tho fowl They have for a number of weeks now been putting him- within range of the Federal guns, in the hope that a shot may providen tially take off his head.

OUT AGAIN. The Repository ro-appeared on Wednesday last, after a suspension of three weeks, caused by'tho burning of Chambere burg. If is reduced in size, but has been .got up with the good taato that always gov erns Col. McClure’s selections of printing material. Although devoted to" the advoca cy of principles-which never can command the approbation of our judgment, wo are glad to qco this old paper ngain on our table, and wo trust its publishers will reap the pe cuniary reward that is due to their enter prise. Wo clip the following articles from it, and should unhesitatingly endorse its cen sure of the legislature if wo thought it need ed any endorsement in this enlightened and literal community : The legislature have appropriated the pit iful sum of §lOO,OOO to the suffcrernoT Chain beralmrg, and oven that poor atunoment for the negligence of a groat State to afford pro tection to its own people, was reluctantly and grudgingly given by the legislature upon whose shoulders must rest a large share of the responsibility for the destruction our cit izens have suffered. If our people had appealed to the legisla ture for alms, wherewith to clothe the naked or feed the hungry, the response might he considered reasonable; but the despoiled cit izens of Olmmbersburg wore nut mendicants at the doors of the legislature. They are an integral part of the people of a mighty Com monwealth, who bear their full share of the burdens of government, and they have a right to demand as the reciprocal duty of the State that, when in its power at least, they shall have protection in return for their willing tribute and faithful allegiance. To this just demand the legislature has turned a deaf ear. Being devoid of specula tion and barren to legislative combinations, it could scarcely help hut fail in a body de moralized by a protracted session lust winter devoted mainly to legislation wherein pecu niary interests were largely involved. Wo h ipe for a just and more faithful legislature next winter, and do not despair that the long suffering and plundered people of the border, and the homeless and houseless of Chambers burg, may be at least, measurnb.y indemni fied. and afforded ample protection against fuHirc spoliation.

Iminense Ruth to Chicago—The Raltimme Convention Kowhert — McClellan’s Ifom'i nalitn Expected. [Dispatch to th 6 Cincinnati Gazette.] Chicago, AuguHl 2G. Arriving hero from the EuHt late thin af ternoon, I can add but little to the full (lift jmtehcß your reporters Imvo already furnish ed you. The hastiest passage through the streets, however, is sufficient to convince one alike of the enthusiasm ami of the imposing size of the assembling crowds. It is a Joel, useless to be. disguised, and it is to be wished that every friend of the Administration would consider , as personally concerning himself; that the vrowd here, three days before the time, is far greater than was in Haltimore only the evening before the Union Convention assem bled. What it will grow to by Monday, can only he conjectured. The evening train from the East had twelve heavy laden cars, and was nix hours behind, while n couple of ex tras followed close behind it to gather up the passengers it could not carry. This evening trains heavily laden continue to come in from all quarters. The McClellan men certainly make the moat noise, and it is probable they have the largest numbers. Peace men make a poorer showing in consequence of having no concen tration on any particular candidate. If one were to judge, therefore, from what lies on the surface at this early stage, he would say that McClellan would probably he put on a cautiously worded peace platform, and that the ticket and platform would he supp »rted by the whole united party.
