Meeting of County' Committee
We would call attention to the call of
the Chairman for a meeting . of the Cou»-
ty Committee, at 6hober's Hotel, this
city, the 28th inst. Let every member
be in attendance, as business of import
ance is to be attended to.
The I H iference
Some of the Abolitionists are very
much distressed because General Mc-
Clellan, in his letter of acceptance, does
not say a word in regard to slavery, nor
so much as calling it by name; but they
forget to notice and "to say that in Lin
coln's letter no place was found for the
magic word " Union." Which omission
is most serious? Which is most signifi
cant? Which shows most the lack of
true patriotism?
Why don't our neighbor of the
Express publish the latest intelligence
from Maine ? So long as the telegraph
lied about the result, claiming enormous
Abolition gains, it was blatant enough,
/Jut now that it is ascertained by the
true returns that the Democrats have
gained . in almost every county, cod
materially reduced the Abolition ma
jority, it is dumb. How about Maine,
neighbor? Have you heard the news ?
If you have, why not publish it? How
about the "wet blanket?"
The Sixty-Days Humbug.
The sixty days humbug again flourish
es. For three years and six months.opr
credulous people have believed that
each succeeding sixty days would finish
the war. The end, likelo-morrow, al
though always at hand, never arrived.
But now it is sure to come. There Will
be no postponement on account of the
weather, Lee's army, the defences Hof
Washington, or any other trifling ob
stacle.
And what is to bring the end so speedi
ly ? The capture of Atlanta. Fort Don
elson, Nashville, New Orleans and Co
rinth were taken, but the end did not
come. Vicksburg and Port Hudson,
with their garrisons, fell into our hands,
but this did not bring the close of the
war. And now that General Sherman
and his army have quietly subsided into
the fortifications of Atlanta, we do not
quite perceive why Hood and his army
should go and surrender to them.
But the 'Weldon Railroad is in pos
session of General Grant. Richmond
is fed by four railroads, a river and a
canal. Grant has intercepted one of its
six sources of supply. It would surely
be very obliging for Lee to give up un
der these eircumstances, but we fear he
" can't see it." He is more likely to at
tempt to recover the Weldon road than
abandon any of the others.
The territory of the South is eon
uereil. I low Who has possessii;n
of V i r.zinia, the Carolinas, Ceorgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi
n int, Arkansas and Texas? Of the
rates which seceded We have con
nered 'l'enncsse • , and hold it un

Let the people contrast these senti
ments with those of Lincoln in his let
ter " To 'Whom it May Concern," and
the Utterances of leading Abolitionists
every Where, who openly avowed their
determination to resist any restoration
of the Union which does not free all
the negroes, and bring about negro
equality.
At a meeting of the Democrats and
Conservatives, held at Lewistown, Mif
flin county, a few days since, Abner
Thomas, Es ti., who was chairman of
the Republican County Committee last
year, presided, and a powerful speech
was made by 'olonel Wm. H. Irwin,
who, for two years, has commanded the
gallant 49th Pennsylvania Regiment in
the Army of the Potomac. Col. Irwin
has always heretofore been a bitter op=
ponent of the Democratic party but he
now boldly avows his belief that Mr.
Lincoln and his party are not for the
Union, and like tens of thousands of
other ' ttllant soldiers, he is for " Little
Mac" first, last, and all the finie. The
work goes bravely on. The honest Con
servative men of all parties are rallying
to our standard, and, with a fair vote,
our victory is sure,
of Triumph
More Changes!
"Will You Yule YourselYes Bankrupt?"
The Express 'has been appealing to
those of the citizens of Lancaster county
who have money invested. in Govern
ment securities, and endeavoring to in
duce them to believe that it is to their
interest to vote for Lincoln, and a con
tinuance of the wasteful war now going
on. All the arguments which it uses
are fallacious, but may have a-tendency
to prejudice honest and unsophisticated
men, who are accustomed to rely upon
what they read in their party paper, the
only paper Amy of them take. No
shrewd business man anywhere could
be gulled by them for a moment. The
question, how to make such investments
secure, is a most important one, not only
to the holders dr the bonds, but to the
Government itself. It would be a sad
disaster if our finances should be so pros
trated as to render the payment of the
huge debt incurred an impossibility.
That there is a possibility of such a mis
fortune overtaking us no one who will
look at matters With an unprejudiced
mind can deny.
In the judein , •lo of the best financiers
of this eountry, and or the world, we
are even holy ill a of extreme
peril. No man who reads the able ar
ticle on our outside, upon '• our debts
and resources,' earl fail to be justly
alarmed. 'Flint we are really seriously
threatened with national bankruptcy
no sensible Will look at the
figures representing our ilebts, and our
resources for paying t eau deny. It
Avill not lake very hing, at our present
rate of expenditure, to reaeli a point
where payment of interest upon what
we owe will be inipossible. The elec
tion of Mr. Linciiln tin the platform
on (Riot( he stands will render
certain an indefinite prolongation of
the war, on a basis whieh Hills( cause
a complete exhaustion of otir en
tire resources, without effecting any
beneficial result. Thene is only one hope
of our ever hcilig, able to weather the
finaneial storm that threatens to burst
upon us at no very distant day, and that
is the speedy cessation of t h e War, and
a return of the southern States to the
Union in their normal condition under
the Constitution. Ii it did not ruin us

AVhat the Poor Ilan k Paying
If the poor man, the mechanic, the
laboring man, desires to know how
much he is paying to keep up this war,
which the Abolitionists swear shall not
end except in emancipation and negro
equality, let him take his day's wages
and go to the market or the store. He
must pay three cents for a box of
matches, fifty cents a pound for butter,
thirty cents for sugar, and for meat,
flour, potatoes, coal and all that he eats
in the same proportion. For muslin he
must pay from seventy-five cents to one
dollar a yard, and for all other articles
of wearing apparel in that proportion.
Let him contrast what he can purchase
with a day's labor now with what he
could purchase with it in the good old
days of Democratic rule. Then he had
peace, plenty, comfort, and happiness—
now he has war taxes, conscriptions,
weariness, hunger, and suffering. Let
him too remember distinctly, and re
peatedly remind his neighbor of the
fact,' that Mr. Lincoln and his corrupt
and imbecile administration are respon
sible for all the troubles that now beset
us. .Let him vote for a change, and
urge his neighbors and friends to do
Amp the Soldiers Assessed.
The following section from the Act
passed by the Legislature to allow sol
diers to vote in camp will show the man
ner in which the assessing of such per
sons is to be done. It is abSolutely ne
cessary that every soldier offering to
vote, unless he votes on age, must be
able to prove in the usual manner that
he has paid a State or county tax within
two years, which must have been as
sessed at least ten days before the elec
tion. We hope the Democrats through
out the county have been attending to
this matter. We.have no doubt that a
majority of the soldiers in the
army, if they are left free to-'do so,
will vote against Lincoln, and against
Abolition nominees for ,Congress. Let
them be assessed at once,—their tar of
ten cents paid, and the receipt besent to
them, together with a full supply of
tickets, in time for the State election.
There is but a short time in which to do
much work, and every one should go at
it with a will. Head the following see
, lion of the law, and then go to work :
Sect. 40. It shall be the duty of every as
sessor, within this rommiinwealth, annual
ly, to assess and return, in the manner now
iiiituired by law, a county tax, of ten tistits
upon each and every 1 10n- , :onunissioned of
ficer and private, and the usual taxes upon
every commissioned officer, known by them
to be in the military service of the United
States, or of this State, in the army: and
when any omission shall occur, the unfitted
names shall lie added, In' such asisessiirs, to
the assessments and lists of ' voters, 011 the
application of any citizen of the election dis
trict, or precinct, wherein such a soldier
might, or would, have a rit2lll to v.,te, if not

commissioned officers, and privates, shall
he exempt from all other personal taxes,
during their iiontinuateie in such serviee;
and said assessors shall, in each every

Spread the Trutl
It is highly important that the trot
should be got before the people. It
not to be expected that our opponents
will subscribe t'or democratic newspa
pers. They do not do this, as a g..netal
thing, until they are converted flu
error of their ways, but every tienmerat
can pick out some one among his Ile
publican neighbors who will not refuse
to reada paper kindly put into his hand.
From this time until the campaign is
one, make it a point to lend your paper
to your neighbor, and to Urge him to
read it. Let every Democrat put this
copy of the inte/ligencer into the hands
of sonic one of the opposition, and not
only this but future copies. If we can
but get the people to read and think,
the day:: of Abolition folly and fanati
cism will be speedily numbered.

Hon. Reverdy Johnson tor McClellan.
One after another, eminent " Old
Line Whigs " are joining the great body
of the Conservative masses, and giving.
their support to the nominees of the
Chicago Convention. When - in Balti
more for several days last week, we
found numbers of Union men openly
avowing their intention tovote for Gen.
McClellan in preference to Lincoln.
They believed the Union would be re
stored with McClellan in power, and
were convinced that under Lincoln it
never could. We have now the follow
ing letter fri:im Hon. fteverdy Johnson,
who was elected Senator by a Legisla
ture opposed to the Democratic party.
He has always, heretofore, been in op
position to us. He is with us now be

coln would be the greatest disaster which
could befall this nation. Let him speak
for himself, as the oldest Senator in

SARATriGx. SPRINGS, September 14.
GENTLEMEN: Your invitation to the
meeting to be hell in Washington on the
17th inst., to ratify the nomination of Mc-
Clellan and Pendleton, is but just received.
It will be out of my power to be with you,
my stay here for some - days longer being
unavollable. Opposed as I was to the ori
ginal election of 3lr. Lincoln to the station
lit now occupies, from a conviction of his
wing unequal to its duties,. the manner in
winch he has !net them, has but confirmed
ine in that opinion. With more than two
millions of soldiers placed in his hands and
an 1111111111(011 11.111011111 Or treasure, his policy
tind his manner of using his power, instead
of putting the rebellion down and bringing
to our ranks the thousands of Union men
who were then in each of the seceded States,
and who, in settle, are believed to outnum
ber the rel”ds, have but served the double
p 11 1 .111,0 or uniting them iiiiminttr us and of

MANY THOUSANDS OF FREEMEN IN
COUNCIL ! !
THE LARGEST PUBLIC GATHERING
EVER HNOWN IN LANCASTER ! !
The Masses Enthusiastically for M'Clellan
and Pendleton !!!
THE DAYS OF ABOLITION 'MISRULE
NUMBERED!!!
The crowd in the city on Saturday was im
mense, and the enthusiasm of the people un
bounded. The day broke in all the cloud
less glory of early autumn, the most
charming period of the whole year in this
latitude. Even as early as Friday after,
noon there were most promising and cheer
ing indications that the demonstration
would be all that could be desired, and much
more imposing than even the most sanguine
had expected. By Friday night there
were many strangers in town, some of whom
came from other States, and numbers from
distant regions of our own good old Com
monwealth. This showed how much in
earnest the American people really are;
how deeply they feel the woe and misery
which a single term of Abolition misrule
has brought upon what was once the proud
est, the freest, the most prosperous, the
most happy, and the most peaceful country
on earth. Having borne much, having en
dured innumerable outrages, aml sub
mitted to a despotism of the most comet opt
ible character attempt to enthrone itself in
the seat of Washington, they have resolved
with the resolute will of freemen that these
things shall (tease to he. They are deter
mined to apply the peaceful remedy of the
ballot-box, and hurl from power those whtt,
having plunged the nation into a most
horrid war fit': the sake of fanatical ideas,
have rendered a restoration of the [nion al
most impossible, after having wasted a mil
lion of liyes, and expending the wool', of
the nation. The people are fully resolved
that the Lineffin dynasty must end. And

SPEECH OF 11. 11. SWAIM, ESQ.
Fellow-CiliZem.3.. I thank you for the honor
conferred on me, in being called upon to
preside over this great meeting of that time
honored party—the Democracy, who with
other true Union men of Lancaster county,
have assembled here to-day to ratify the
nominations, recently made at Chicago with
such unexampled unanimity—(;en. Geo. B.
McClellan, the patriot soldier and Christian
gentleman for the office of President, and
Geo, H. Pendleton, the distinguished civil
ian, for the office of Vice President of the
'United States. Tam happy fellow-citizens
and fellow-Democrats ' to bei able to con
gratulate you on the high character of the
nominees, whose names have been laid be
fore von. Both of them are honorably iden
tified with the Democracy of the country,
and you have in their past lives, and in their
whole public career, the sure pledge and
guaranty that, if they shall be elected by
the favor of the people and the blessing of
Providence upon our cause td the high offi
ces. for which they have been nominated,
each of them will be found faithful to the
trust committed to him—faithful to the
country—C:6lllU to the Constitution—fititti
ful to Democratic principles, which are cher
ished by the masses of the people.
The indications, everywhere, are that the
nalvent ion has struck the popular heart,
and has aroused it to a united and deter
mined nAlon, seldom witnessed in political
warfare. The masses are folly roused to
the vastness of the issues which hang upon
their de,ision, the peace. the prosperity,
and the stopoaLT of bloodshed. which will
follow victory, and the suffering and shame
Of an future of fruitless war and
incf'easing debt, which will assuredly follow
, air defeat. The people look, with a tru , t
which cannot be shaken, to the election of
I;en McClellan as their only means of
Test•ll, irons thethiekeningcalamities which

The war, he said; was conducted appa
rently with no view of puttinga speedy end
to the rebellion, but rather with a view of
allowing it to go on. in order that the New
Englan'd Yankee nianufacturers, bankers.
spoottlators, contractors, and wooden nut
nieg adventurers of all kinds, might make
money out of it. No harm could come to
them. Pennsylvania might he ravaged,
our towns destroyed, and her fertile fields
laid waste, while this incompetent and
really unpatriotic Administration remain
ed in power, hut the New England States
were sale, They were far away from the
seat of war, and would scarcely know that
there was a gigantic armed struggle going
on in the country, if they did not find the
evidence of it in their swelling poc4..ets,
which, capacious as Yakee pockets usually
are, were too small to hold the enormous
profits their sh•Aidy contracts were yield
ing them.
And they would be safe even if they were
touch nearer the scene of hostilities. Their
barren country would save them. There
was some inducement to the enemy to
march into Pennsylvania and gather the
rich supplies of the Cumberland valley,
and of York and Adam counties ; and
what a feast they would have if they came
into Lancaster county! But no rebel cavalry
raiders—not even McCausland's pack of
dare-devil ruffians—would venture into a
barren region like S'ew England, where
none but the leanest and sharpest-nosed
sheep can manage to crop the scanty her
bage that struggle* into existence between

hoping to be able to come clown here some
day with the money they are making on

the hands of its present honest Dutch Pend:.
Sylvania Owners, must be dispossessed of
their control of the country's destinies. Mr.
Lincoln, who has allowed them to rule him,
must be put out of the Presidential chair,
and George B. Met who will rule
himself and the Yankees too, must be put
in it. And when General McClellan gets
installed in the Presidential chair, he and
his supporters will have thr,nvn upon their
shoulders the high and holy duty of saving
a Union which the North cannot prize too
too highly. They Must do what the Chicago
platform and the General's letter pledge
them to do. They must make an honest,
earnest effort to save the l 7 nion. It' it can
