The Soldiers who Nominated Baily.—
Our quondam friend, Joseph Baily, who
Tontured to run for Congress in this district,
called himself the “ soldiers’ candidate," and
published the proceedings of a meeting of
four companies (40Q men) from Perry county
who “ unanimously nominated him and ten
dered him their votes." He had the pro
ceedings of the soldiers’ meeting (with his
reply to the eame,) circulated all over the
district, by whioh he attempted to make it
appear that the soldiers of Perry were for
him to a man. We knew this to be a false
hood and so spoke of it. Now for the proof.
Below is the vote of three of the companies
that “ unanimously nominated Baily for Con
gress"—the fourth we have not seen :
Glossbrenner. Baily.
Capt. Palm’s Company,, 45 35 .
Capt.. Miller’s Company, 25 49
Gapt, 1 Marshall’s Company, 23 49
Baily’s msj. in three companies,
There 1 That is not a bad vote for Gloss
brenker to receive out of three companies
that “ unanimously nominated Joseph Baily
for Congress.". Gloss must have been elec
tioneering among the boys of the Perry com
panies, or, what is perhaps more probable,
Baily attempted to palm off a great fraud
npoß the people when he told them that all
the soldiers of Perry were for him.
“ OcR-PeACE COMMISSIONERS,.GbaNT,-ShEß
man and Sheriden.”— Such is the favorite
inscription upon Abolition banners. We no
ticed a bale stay-at-home fellow carry a ban
ner containing the above motto in the little
Republican fizzle in„this town on the 6th inst.
Are not the Black Abolitionists aware that
both Sherman- and Sheriden are strong Mc-
Clellan- men? And as for Grant; he-too
would -alto -announce himself for M’Clellan'
did he-not'know that Lincoln would remove
bins if be did so.. The whole three are at
heart for M’Clellan, and Sherman-bdA Sber
iden don’t care who knows that they are for
him openly. Why, blacksnakes, read Sher
man’s letter to Gov. Brown, and you will be
convinced that be coincides precisely with
MlClellan in bis views of. policy.- He is
for the Union, first, and is willing to settle the
negro - business last. This is M’CLELLAN’e
position. In the event of M’CuttLAN’js ejeo-,
tion-A-which- we' regard': a sure thing—itisj
morei-than' probable'that Sherman will-,bp.
made Secretary of War., We are well satis
fied,Therefore, to have Grant,-Sherman, and'
Sherldbn selected as our peace commission
ers.
XT' The abolition organs hare a great deal,
to say about McClellan’s retreats. We would
say to Mr. Lincoln's friends that the worst of
all retreats are retreats from one’s promises,
i and principles; .

Ticket.
If you have intelligence .to KNOW and
coflrags to DEFEND your rights, show it
NOW, by making tho last effort which may
be allowed to assert your
Political Privileges
—AND—
INDEPENDENT MANHOOD
Look or ibis Plctnro.
Four years ago you enjoyed tho blessings,
of prosperity and peace—your taxes were
light—your currency sound—each man con
trolled his own person—was free in bis no
tion, and secure in his property—you stood
erect in tho majesty of manhood—the Union
and Constitution were supreme—you enjoyed
the rich heritage of Liberty bequeathed by
your ancestors.
Now, gaunt misery stalks through the
land, threatening universal ruin—war rages,
blood and death, wounds and mutilation, are
familiar to your sight—orphans and widows
innumerable, mourn their, husbands and fa
thers, whose life blood has saturated the soil,
and whose bones bleach on plains desolated
by the
UNNATURAL STRIFE.
'ON,
Enormous taxes, duties, excises, imposts,
•tamps, have been laid—every device of ex
tortion has been resorted to—the land swarms
with . assessors, collectors, marshals, spies
and informers—your
SECRET ENEMIES,
the emissaries of tyrants, are innumerable:
contractors, speculators, usurpers, extortion
ers, are bold in the avowal of their robberies,
and all these wi-etohes
RIOT ON THE PEVKDER OF YOUR
Hard Earnings.
GOLD and SILVER have been banished, and
in thsir place is found an irredeemable cur
rency. No man can say that he owns any
thing, for all property is subject to the pre
carious tenure of the Tyrant’s will—you are
nolongerTccognizedai tho governing race,
but THE NEGRO IS SOUGHT TO BE
ELEVATED to arieqfialityjwith the white
man—hordes of
Run-Away and Stolen Slaves
are supported in idleness by YOUR MONEY,
wrung from you by hard taxes, and are here
after to compete with your honest industry.
AMAX.GAHIA.TION
of Negroes and Whites is openly advocated,
the Union is derided, the. Constitution de-
spised,
THE LIGHT OF LIBERTY
is about to be forever extinguished in the
Darkness of Despotism!
The remedy is in your hands—there is NO
HELP OR HOPE, BUT IN YOURSELVES.
Resolve, then, to tear from the perfidious
usurpers of the Federal Government, the ill
gotten power which- they have atrociously
abused by wanton excesses, cruelties and
outrages, scarcely paralleled in the the dark
est agts of most barbarous times.
AWAKE, ARISE,
OR BE FOREVER FALLEN I
It is not yet 100 late; but unless your po
tential voice assert, and your strong arms en
force your rights, soon the hour will have
passed, to be followed by the
Death-Knell of Freedom,
and in the caverns of despair the hopes of
humanity will he forever buried.

And peaco will be restored, the States will

The Union Restored
Let every conservative man, every Demo
crat, every man who desires to see the Union
restored and constitutional liberty preserved,
go to work nt onco to secure a grander tri
umph than the one we achieved on Tuesday
a week, at the Presidential election in No
vember. Pennsylvania is safe for M’CLEL
LAN and PENDLDTON by a very largo ma
jority, but there, is all the greater need for
exertion. Let there be such a vigorous can
vass made during-the time that intervenes
between this and. the' Presidential election,
as the impoftanee of the crisis- demands, and
the State will go for " Little' Mac," by such
’a.majority as bas'not been known.for years.
Let every Demoojrat' bnskie _on his armor
and prepare himself.for,thp coming .contest.
" The time for argument is exhausted—the

H'CIELMN—LINfiOLS/
Infinite personal abuse by tbe pensioned
presses and.partiznns of the Administration
has been heaped upon Ihh head of MoClbl-
LiN; but even the combined rancor of Abo
lition fanaticism, and tho cravings of extor
tioners for more plunder, have failed to point
to ..any specific fact in- his life, or feature
of his character, calculated tft weaken tho
high estimate which long ago his countrymen
formed of him. It may, therefore, fairly ho
assumed, that his conduct and character are
so perfeot and pure, as to bo beyond reproach.
Is not this, then—we ask all 'Candid WOr
tars, is not this the man needed in these times
for the great purposes of restoring the Onion,
the Constitution and Liberty? Is not this
(he man to punish the guilty and cherish the
innocent? And are these not tbe only moans
whereby these States, now under. Abolition
rule, dissevered, discordant, belligerent, can
bo restored to Union, harmony and peace?
That LiKCotN’s rule has been moat disas-
trous, cannot be denied. Else whence war
and bloodshed, taxation and impending rain ?
Scarcely a man can bo found in his own par
ty who approves of all bis measures. He is
condemned by the general voice ? Why, then,
eleoi an incumbent 'who has proved himself
unfit for his station ?
The vague and general idea of “ Union,"
Is bis whole strength. But this assumes that
his re-election will secure the restoration of
;he Union—an asaumption porfoctly gratui
tous. Under him the Union ia rent *m twain,
[a he who destroyed, most fitted to restore?
But if he desired to re-unite the States, why
has he not done so? He has had four years
in which to do it, and has not oven made the
effort He has made no intimations, offers or
approaches, to this end; except, indeed, his
letter “to whom it may concern,” in whioh
he distinctly states that no offer for a restora
tion of the Union-will even bo “ considered,”
which does not declare, ns its basis, " the ab
olition of slavery.” :
Are American freemen ready to inmolato'
Liberty, to sacrifice themselves and their pos
terity, to this abstraction; to be made practi
cal only by destroying the just ascendancy of
a superior race, ond by overwhelming the free
white men of the North by stolen oi obsoon
ding Southern slaves T • ff
No—the Constitution, which created the
Union, can alone restore it. On this great
and all absorbing principle stands McClel
lan; and dll who are truly desirous, in an
enlightened spirit, for the vindication of the
great charter which is our sole bond of con
cord and only protection for liberty, will vote
for the illustrious citizen whose feet are firm ■
ly planted on this Impregnable rock, against
whioh the gates of Hell shall not prevail.
Beware or Frauds.—We learn that a Re
publican committee is-engaged in Bending el
ectoral tickets to the army with the Repub
lican Electors, but headed “M’Clellan Elec
toral Ticket." Let the soldier be apprised
of this by private letter. Robert L. Johnson
heads the Democratic electoral ticket, but
every name should be sent to the boys in the
army, so that they may post themselves in
regard to the frauds about to be perpetrated.
Wo have read the history of the French
Revolution and know some of the Jacobin
schemes to carry their measures, in which
they were finally thwarted and beheaded
with the guillotines prepared for others, but
never did we read of plans bo nefarious arid
diabolical as are resorted to, by the abolition
party to carry the Presidential election. It
would appear that the last device of the
Council of Pandemonium has been exhousted
to cheat the ballot box, and to perpetuate
power by fraud. We have already recorded
ten methods by whioh the soldier was de-"
prived of hie choice of. candidates, and we
must he permitted to record another. Some
five or six of the Commissioners apnuintod to
take the army vote, have been sent back to
the army to correct what they at first return
ed as a legal vote, that is, to return a larger
-Republican majority, in order to overcome
the home vote. No wonder wo Say “ Be
ware fraude.”
• How. Soi.niEßB VotE When they davb a
fair - Chance.— The 19th Pennsylvania cav
alry are stationed at Memphis, and voted at
the October election. Previous to opening
the polls, the Colonel, gave orders-that the
men should not be interfered with by any
one, but permitted to vote as they pleased.—
Democratic and Kepublican tickets were
placed on separate tables, and the men, with
out interference, voted. The election result

The 2d New Jersey Cavolry, at the’same

" A voto was taken on tho train of cars

The 13th of October was the day the “ Na
tional Convention of colored men” assembled
at Syracuse, to insist on negro-equality, and
the train of cars above alluded to of course
contained 413 negroes aud 48 white men.—
The negroes voted fur Lincoln, and the
white men for'M’CLELLAN. This explains
