It is bardly necessary to follow up
and correct - the -falsehoods put forth
by the opposition against our excel

He was nominated to the position he
occupies on our ticket, not only with•
out iolicitation on his part, but entire
ly without his knowledge. He is no
aspirant for office, but a simple far
an occupation be bas followed all
his days—an occupation also which
has been' that of his ancestors for gen
erations. He'is presented as the rep
resentative of the farming interest of
this county. He is a gentleman of
character and honor, and noted for
that straight-forward, strong com
mon sense, which will make him, if he
t•hould be elected, a vastly superior
member to the dozens of others who
talk much bat think little. All asper
sions upon the habits or character of
Mr. Heilman are only discreditable to
those that'find their cause so weak as
to be under the necessity of making
them, and hence, as we said at the

be practised this fall upon the good
people of Pennsylvania by the aboli

ism. They are out and out against
the Union and the Constitution,
while professing the most patriotic
devotion for them.
"It is against sound policy to press
such a total abolition of slavery as this
bill will suddenly effect, involving, as it
does, elements of mischief and dissension.
We are now a unit on the war for the
Union, while the South is becoming di

"We are in danger of doing too much,
not too little, on this interminable negro
question. We have already passed stat
utes without number to regulate it, and
after all it will require our heaviest artil

fair way of settling itself, without further
congressional intervention; and if only

in this behalf. But I have observed that

MR. EDITOR :—The Democracy of
Old Heidelberg held a spiriteci, meet•
ing on Thursday last, in our pleasant
town. It was called to order by J.
S. Achey, who introduced Edward
Keener, of Lancaster county, as the
first speaker. he addressed the
meeting in an able manner on the is
sues of•the day, and showed in un
mistakable terms how our country
prospered under Democratic Admin
istrations. Hon. Myer Strouse spoke
in most eloquent language in the
German, and held the audience spell
bound to the home truths he uttered.
J. S. Beesley and S. T. McAdam,
Esqrs., also addressed the meeting,
presenting in plain language the is•
sues to be met this fall. There are a
number of Republicans here who will
support Woonwean,being 04 they al
lege, tired of such tunes as we have.
No one can be deceived this fall, if
he only reflects and sets acoordingly.
The Draft is knocking at oar doors,
and, if the Democracy should be un
successful, no one can fathom the end
of what is coming.

MR. EDITOR: Our Abolition friends
held a meeting on Friday evening
last. They brought two speakers
from a neighboring county to enlight
en the people on the .political issues
of the day, but their whole-perform
ance was nothing but buffoonery and
violent abuse &the Democratic par
ty, which met with the hearty appro.
val of their friends. Frequent allu•
sions to his satanic majesty were also
made. There were some. exceptions
mado in alluding to Democrats, such
as Butler and Stanton, who they said
were still holiest and true to their
country. There was also a great
deal of talk about wild animals, such
as Elephants, Wolves, &c., and also
about a rotten mackerel in the moon,
and all such silly stuff.. In my esti.
mation one of the speakers was very

✓r The following are extracts
from the speech delivered by Ron.
John W. Killinger,ln Con4re3s on the
23d of May, 1862. His present views
when compared with those he held
then will astonish the people not a lit
tle. Why this great change? Time
will tell.
"The insane notion that the Constitu
tion was made for peace,- and can he
trifled with in time of war, is the most
dangerous of political heresies, and would
involve us in all the horrors of anarchy
and military despotism. And to wage a
fierce and unending civil war in the inter
est, supposed or real, of the negro race,
is against all my convictions of right and
duty, and I insist that the Government
has proposed no s such lolly to the people.
If it had, the people would have been
slow to respond But strong in the faith
and fixed in the assurance that this is a
white man's war for nat.onal existence,
the people are prompt to sustain the
President in his polh.y, and thus uphold
the honor and mantain the integrity of
the Reputlic. I regret to see that a large
portion of the supporters of Mr. Lincoln
no longer give his Administration -and
policy a cordial _ support. Instead of
standing by the chief of their choice is
his conservative and patriotic course, they
run after the false gods which abolition
has set up, and prostrate themselves
beforo the Juggernaut of negro worship "
"No man and , no platform and no
party can stand a moment before the hot
breath of an indignant people in attemps
'to substititte the abolition policy and
platform for that of Abraham Lincoln !
Thus, briefly, I have endeavored, with
out passion or prejudice, to set forth the
reasons for the faith which is in me I
have passed that period in my political
career when a fitful gleam of a passing
notoriety can obscure my sense of duty,
or the fear of an unreasoning clamor can
deter me from doing what I believe to be
right.

calculated to deceive the people with

Kr The Philadelphia Age, of Monday,
has the following notice of - an Address
delivered by Jacob Weidle, Jr, Esq, of
this borough before the Central Club of
that city on Saturday• evening last.
- Meeting of the Centrql Democratic
Club.—The address befdre the Central
Democratic Club on Satur,daynight was'
delivered by J. Weidle. Esq , of Lebanon,
Pa. Mr. Weidle, though a young man, is
a forcible and eloquent speaker. He
dwelt upon the policy of the present Ad
ministration, and scathingly exposed its
corrupt practices The evils which had
come up(in our beloved country could, in
his opinion, have been totally averted*
had the Abolitionists, in their anxiety to
accomplish their designs, not spurned th
Crittenden Compromise; and those ills
which were still looming above us could
all be dispelled by overtures ofpeace being
made by the party in power.
It was the mission of the Democratic.
party to restore peace and prosperity to
the land, and on the 13th of October, with
an overwhelming majority in favor of
Woodward and Lowrie, it would begin
its glorious work. The character of the
man who oppdsed Judge Woodward, his
truckling policy and want of nerve, were
all shown in their blackest lights by the
speaker, who for over an hour enchained
the attention of his hearers; who uncom-
fortably crowded the Club Room.
What They Promised.
'Free press,' free speech' and ;free
dom,' 'protection to American indus
tay,"economy and reform,' gend
times for tile poor man' and the rest
of mankind, 'protection to State soy
ereigntrand State institutions' 'a

'obedience to the Constitution and
laws,' 'peace, harmony, aid national

turned into a co operation with the
Devil. 'Obedience to the Constitu

and rivers of blood.

to r ORGANIZE !—We believe the
Democrats of this county are as well
organized, if not better, than those of
any other county in the state. Still
the organization .cannot, •be too thor-
ough, and every district which has
not yet attended to this duty should
do so at once. The election day is
rapidly approaching and the Democ•
racy of the county ought to present a
thorough and united front•at the polls.
It is , certain that Pelifinsylvania. ,is
already redeemed from the thraldom
of Abolitionism, and that it is only
necessary to make a formal record of
the matter on the second Tuesday of.
October next. Let - Ars*ave • a com
plete organization so that we shall
poll every Democratic vote and help
to swell the glorious majority that
will be rolled up for WoODWARD and
LOWRIE. ORGANIZE!, ORGANIZE ! !
ittir Democrats remember that the
2nd Tuesday of October will soon be
here, and that none should fail, to be
prepared to . vote. The most impor
tant election' ever held In the State
takes place then,. and every man
should be assessed and ready.
tier Colonel William M. Stone, the Ad
ministration candidate for Governor of
lowa, in a recent speech at Keokuk, said:
"I admit-tilat this is an abolition war—
It was not such in the - stattkhut the Ad
ministration 'has d iscovered that it could
not Attlidite'Oe South else than by' making
it an abolition war, and they have done so;
And it will 'be continued as an abolition
war so long as there is one slave at the
South to be made free. * * *
would rather eat with a nigger,, drink
with a nigger, live with a nigger, and
sleep with r nigger than a copperhehd."
"No copperhead as he calls them cares
about;sleeping or eating with him he can
have his preference.
Toßepublicans.—Those of you who
have been drafted and compelled to pay
well, do you think you have made any
thing by a change of Administration
Would it not have been a thousand times
better for your country and for ybur
purse, if both Lincoln and Curtin had
been defeated? This we helieve vou can
now see. Use, your duty will be very
clear at the next election. To be honest
to your country and to yourself, you
must go to the polls and vote the demo
cratic ticket. By doing this, you will
save yourself still further trouble and
expense.
Arrest of a Deserter.—A substitute
from Lebanon county, whose name we
did not learn, was yesterday arrested in
a house in South street, between Second
and Third, by a patrol. He was brought
to this, place from Lebanon, bUt on reach.
ing here made his escape, and after hid.
ing in different places,, he entered the
yard of-Mr. Grisinger in-Raspberry alley,
and offered his wife forty dollars in
greenbacks if she would only conceal
him .for the night. This she refused,
saying that it would get her in trouble,
and told him he must leave. He then
applied to Grisinger, offering him twenty
more, but with thi! same success The
patrol was then seen coming up the alley
and the victim was caught while attempt
ing to make his egress into South street

See The mist which hung over the re
cent battle in Georgia between Generals
Rosencrans and Bragg has at length
cleared away, ani despite every effort
made to conceal it, is found to be a terri
ble defeat. The bravery of General
Tnomas in stubbornly holding out, alone
appears to have protected the shattered
army, and a quick retreat to the earth
works at Chattanooga—the field, forty
cannon and thousands of prisoners being
yielded up—was RossciAxs! salvation.
The blame of this sad disaster must be
put at the d , ,or of the authorities in
Washington As affairs stand, all idea
of an offensive advance into Georgia,
must he given up. and iris even extreme- .

held. The telegraph already hints at a
retreat behind the Tennessee river. This
battle, whilst it has inflicted a heavy loss
upon the Confederates, has almost broken
up the Federal army, and it is extremely
doubtful if General RO:-ECRANS will be
able to begin any new operations until
next spring.
