Victory
A glorious victory has been achieved in
the gallant State of Pennsylvania, over
combinations of fraud, Government pa
tronage, and the most lavish expenditure
of money. The cause of THE UNION AT
ALL HAZARDS has triumphed.
The battle has been the South Mountain
of the'campaign, which will be followed in
November by another Antietam for the
linion and the Constitution.
The result assures the State for McClel
~lan and Pendleton, and justifies our expec
tation of triumphant success in the national
election in November.
It is recommended to the various Demo
cratic and Union organizations in the city
of New York to illuminate their respective
headquarters, and to assemble thereat on
Monday evening, the 17th inst., in honor of
the auspicious result in the Keystone State ;
that national salutes be fired in the public
squares ; and that the city of New York,
true to the cause of the Union and the Con
stiiution, under their chosen leader, McClel
lan, send congratulations to our brothers in
Pennsylvania on their hard-earned and tri
umphant success.

AUGUST BELMONT,
Chairman of Democratic National Come
Lincoln and a Negro Traitor
In our issue of Monday we alluded to
the fact that President LINCOLN had
opened his door to FRED. DOUGLAS, a
negro residing in the State of New York,
while a crowd of White Men were wait
ing outside and vainly seeking admit
tance. The. President's conduct in this
matter would have been bad enough if
the negro to whom he extended his
courtesy had been the most meritori
ous man of his color in the United
States. But when we remember that
DOUGLAS had for years figured as an ex
treme Abolition orator—that he had de
nounced WASIIINGTON, JEFFERSON,
JACKSON,I'CLAY and TAYLOR as mons
ters in hulian form, because they held
slaves in their lifetime—that he had
cursed the Constitution and prayed for
the destruction of the Union, because
slaves were held under and within them
—and that he had conspired with old
John Brown and other ruffians and
traitors to upset the Constitutional Gov
ernment of the United States and• es
tablish-- a " Provisional Government "
in its stead, the initial movement of
which intended revolution was the cap
ture of the United States Armory at
Harper's Ferry—when we remember
these facts, all of which were we!
known to President laxem,x, how
much mole galling becomes the insult
which he offered to the whole white
population of the country, when he
opened his doors to this impudent and
traitorous negro, while white men stood
outside!
For the life of us we cannot under
stand how any white man can vote for
LINCOLN, after this striking display of
his preference for the negro. Still less
can we understand how any man who
pretends to be for the Union can vote
for him, when he reflects that the ne
gro thus openly admitted to an audience
with Mr. LINCOLN, was one of a gang
of Northern Abolitionists who conspired
to overturn the Government of the
United States by force of arms; who
did actually take up arms at the time
and place agreed upon, and seized an
Am'ory belonging to the Government,
and killed a soldier who wore the uni
form of the United•Statess.
The popular impression at the North
is that old Brown and his gang made
an attack on Virginia, and nothing
more. This is an error. The papers
found in his house after his capture,
showed that he set out to overturn the
Government of the United States. His
first active step was the seizure of the
property of the United States at Har
per's Ferry. The seizure of that Armory
was as direct an act of war against the
United States as the bombardment of
Fort Sumter. The Yankees who made
Brown's murderous pikes had as much
treason in their hearts as the Virginians
who cast cannon at the Tredegar 'Works
in Richmond.
FRED. DOUGLAS was one of the
scoundrels who hatched that treason
able plot and had those'murderous pikes
manufactured. He fled to England
when old Brown was captured, and re-
mained there until about the date of
LINCOLN'S inadguration as President,
when he thought it safe to return. And
this traitorous negro, who joined old
John Brown in "levying war against
the United States,"--eapturinga United
States Armory and killing a United
States soldier—is the identical " Mr.
DOUGLAS" whom LIN cous invited 'to
"wall: in," whilst White Men were
left standing in the hall and on the
staii;ly of the Executive Mansion of
the United States!
Who dares to call ABRAHAM LIN
COLN a ,patriot in the face of these un
deniable facts? Does patriotism con
sist in the extension of courtesies to a
nigger who has treason in his heart as
black as the wool on his head? The
Hon. THADDEUS STEVENS, with all his
affection for the African race, could
hardly be induced to state it as his legal
opinion that it is patriotic, and not
treasonable, for a negro to " levy war
against the United States."
'Union Republicans of Lancaster coun
ty; this is the man you are asked to
vote for—ABRAHAM LINCOLN, who
opens his door to a nigger who com
mitted treason against the United States
and ran away to England to escape
being hanged along with, his-bolder
associate, old John Brown. You have
a right to vote for him if you choose ;
but if you do, it will forever thereafter
become you to remain silent when pa
triotism is spoken of.
" gm : . In 1.50 Senator Hale presented
two petitions from New England,
" praying that some means be devised
for the dissolution of the American
Union." These petitions received three
votes in the United States Senate, John
P. Hale, Salmon P. Chase and William
H. Seward. These gentleme4 are all
SOPPorters of AbTahrtin Lincoln!
October Days in the Mountains. •
liThe mountain scener. of Pennsyl
vania, while not so grand as that in
some of the more Northern States, is
sufficient to satisfy the most fastidious
taste. Just now our mountains are
crowned in all the glories of Nature's
most gorgious livery. .In tbis latitude
summer dies in surpassing -splendor.
The mountains, which lift their fir-clad
heads to the sky, are decked with varie
gated colors, glaring in strong contrast,
which remind one of the manner in
which you may see different tents dis
posed upon some sampler, wrought in
worsted by the fair fingers of those who
were blooming maidens before most of
the mothers of the present generation
were born. The back ground is the deep
green of thickly disposed pines, which
stand up in the rich glossy green of a
new cloak of leaves, put on to brave the
rude storms of coming winter ; while
here and there, as if inlaid by the pencil
of some cunning artist, is seen the deep
crimson of the maple, and the golden
hue of the chesnut and the hickory.—
The whole forest seems to have decked
itself out in rich robes, as if determined
to die, if die its beauties must for a
season, in one delightful revel. At no
season are our hills, our valleys, and our
mountains more beautiful than—
"ln the red and hazy October,
Ere the woods stand 111111. Ullll brown,
While into the lap of the South land
The flowers are blowhig, down.-
Day after day comes on w in all
the blue sky above you not a single
cloud is to be seen ; when not even a
fleecy speck of' light vapor intercepts
for a moment the golden sunshine that
glimmers through the trembling haze
which rests like a purple veil over the
valleys below you, not shutting out the
view, but roun4g off all irregularities,
and lending add l itional enchantment to
the scene. Ev,iry sound conies up from
the fields and farm houses below with
surprising distinctness through the
bright clear air. You can hear the
rustle of each falling leaf, as it settles
itself cozily down to cover the dark
brown earth; while patter, patter, as
they drop from hickories many yards
distant, coines the ,distinct sound of
falling chips industriously cut from the
nuts by the nimble squirrel in his busy
endeavor to reach the delicious kernel
within. The shrill scream of the rest
less Jay is startlingly thud in the woods,
while you can hear afar off the musical
pipe of the Quail in the stubble, calling
to her brood. If you go down into the
narrow but fertile valleys below, you
will find much to delight The
farmer works leisurely now, Th e gol
den maize is carefully gathered in tit
intervals. The orchards are fobbed of
their fruity treasures. The old-fash
ioned cider mill creaks after a rickety
fashion, as sonic trusty and slow ploy
ing horse leisurely treads his limited
round. Children shout :is they go forth
merrily on long nutting strolls, or re
turn laden with what is to 111,111
de
licious treasure, to be hidden away in
safe places. The streams, now that the
frost has precipitated every impurity to
the bottom, are wonderfully clear, ;old
the fish, so shy all summer, lie suuniug
themselves in sehools, as if they knew
the crafty anglers occupation NV:IS !'one,
and felt sure the chilliness of the water
would prevent the dragging of any de
stroying net. The cattle graze with
placid content upon the sueculent after
math, undisturbed by annoyimi . inseets,
which, grown feeble, drop thickly into
the thousands of nets spread I.r them
by the busy spiders. .Autumn is really
one of the most delicious seasons of the
American year; and in our latitude,
the dread of quickly el/Mille Whiter,
which must soon drive us to
makes us enjoy it all the more. W hether
out in the mountains, or in the richer
and more expanded valleys of this
State, the outdoor world is very beauti
ful in these brighi October tlacs.:Alas'
that the time is so near When chill
November's surly blasts will lay fields
and forrests bare.

Vandalism
It appears from the following offieial
report of General Sheridan that the war
is no longer to 1 a contest between
armed men in the tlehl, but a oar after
the manner of the Goths aml Vandals,
upon old men, women and children—a
war upon property ; a war of devasta
tian; a war banned by all the civilized
people of the globe, and justified only
by the code of scalping Indians and
Cannibal negroes. The example was
set by the rebels in the wanton destruc
tion of Chambersburg in retaliation for
similar atrocities perpetrated on some
of their towns ; and now we have vastly
improved on it by the order of Lieut.
General Grant himself. Read tlie re
port of General Sheridan :
WOODSTOCK, VA., 9 P. Al., ltat. 7, 1'4;4.
Lieutenant General (b : l Imvt , the
honor to report my command at this point
to-night. I commenced moving bark from
Port Republic, Mt. Crawford, Bridgewater,
and Harrisonburg yesterda:% morning. The
grain and forage in all pc iw' thine points
had previously been destroyed. In moving
back to this point the whole c,unt Cy, from
Blue Ridge to the North Mountain, ha, been
made untenable fur a rebel arnty. I hare ,
destroyed over tiro thousand barns filled with
wheat, hay, and fw , ming over
seventy inillsfilled with fl.g, r 'al cheat: had
driven in front of the army over It Mr herds
of stock, and have killed and issued to the
troops not less than three Oa aisand sheep.
This destruction embraces the Lura rally
and Little Fort Talley, as 2/Tii , M the inain
Valley. A large number of horses have
been obtained, a proper estimate of which
I cannot now make."
Suppose the varying fortunes of war
should again see a rebel army ill Penn
sylvania, what mad• we expert" Our
readers can answer the question for
themselves.
Savage Warfare
The following is a specimen of Gen.
Grant's and Mr. Lincoln's orders, and
shows their method of conducting war
in the latter half of the nineteenth
century. It is Grant's order to I eueral
Sheridan :
Headquarters, cfc-- Ekt ail the tlantageyou
can to the railroad and (trot.. carry off
stock of all descriptions and Negroes,
to prevent further planting. I r the war is
to last another year, let the Shenandoah
Valley remain a barren \ •
This is the way Lincoln, Stanton
Co. labor to restore the 1. - nion. In re
storing it they would make one half of
it a "barren Waste" and exterminate
one-half of its inhabitants. The usages
of civilized nations are all disregarded
and violated, and the practices of In
dians and African savages are substi
tuted for thent, , Shame upon a (;overn
ment which thus disgraces the civiliza
tion of the age. Double shame upon
the men who do this under the false
pretence of re-uniting the people and
restoring the Union. They and all men
know that this kind of warfare, if per
sisted in, can only result in extermina
tion, devastation and ruin to the whole
country.
But this brutal order is not only an
evidence of barbarity but a confession
of weakness, It is a confession that ini
this fourth year of the war, our Govern
ment is not able to hold the country
bordering upon the Potomac! That
after all our boasted " conquests"—after
all the assurances that the rebellion was
"on its last legs "—after the public de
claration of Grant himself that the ene
my have got to the end of their resources
in men and have " robbed the cradle
and the grave" to fill up the ranks of
their armies—that after all this we are
not able to hold possession of a section
of territory almost within sight of Wash
ington and within a stone's throw of
the border of Pennsylvania! Shameful
admission, as well as shameful warfare!
Shameful because it is a confession of
falsehood and deception in the Govern
ment, as well as of a savage ferocity
excelling that of the Indians upon our
borders.
Facts for Honest Republicans.
We suppose there are some thousands
of plain, honest flepublie.ans LUIDCSIS
ter county; who would not vote fur Mr.
LPTCOLN if they weresatistied that he
Would extend Courtesies to a negro which
he would deny to a white man. These
honest Republicans clo not believe that
it is right to hold slaves, and they sup
port
Mr. LixcoLN bee: Anse they: under
stand him to hold anti-slavery opinions.
But they are whitt'• men, with pure
white blood in then : veins, and though
they may pity the poor negro, and wish
him well, very few of them would like
to eat with hint, still fewer like to sleep
with him under any circumstances, and
none at all prefer his company to that
of a man of their own color, when left
to their own free choice.
Now if these holiest Republicans who,
whiLst they pity the negro, still prefer
the companionship of men of their own
color, could be satisfied that Mi. I.lN
coLx• preferred a negro's iimpally to a
white man's, and that he would do fur
a negro what he would trot do for a
white man, vice are persuaded that he
would never get their votes. The diffi
culty is to get the to believe it, for it
is one of those unnatural things which
seem too monstrous for belief, though
true as holy writ.
FRED. DOUGLA: 4 , liegro residing in
the State of :Nei% York, with whose
name the puittlie have for many years
been familiar, has published au aecount
of a visit Ilt• iced(' to Mr. litNroLN at
the White liouse in the city of Wash
ington'. It seems to have been a part of
his purpose, in malting this - visit, to
test the shicerity of the President's pro
fession of regard for the negro. lle
wished to find out for himself whether
the President really did think a, negro
as good as a white !can, or whether he
was only pretending to think so in order
to fool the Abolitionists into the support
of his administration. His experiment •
had a : satisfactory result, and he came
away entirely convinced that •in Mr.
LINCOLN'\ estimation a negro was as
good as a xvilite man, and perhaps
Letter.
bouGh.cs states that when lie entered
the White Howe, he found the wide
hall and stairway leading to the Presi
dent's room crowded with white men,
many of whom had been waiting there
for hours, tintl some or whom would
have given hundreds of dollars for im
mediate admission to the President, se
that they might transact the business
that had taken them to 'Washington
and ret Urn to their homes in distant
parts of the Con ntry. Not a few of
them, he says, wore the u4form of the
United Ntates Army and had the marks:
of commissioned officers on their shoul
ders,
This impudent neurtto, st- he himself
exultingly tells us; pushed up through
the i•rowd. and handed his card to the •
NehileSerValit in attend:lm , , who carried
it to the President. The erowil of white
men looped al earl other in surprise
when they sate the negro' , eard carried
in to the President, and their surprise
was changed to astonishment and mor
tification when, a minute tiller, the ser
vant returned :lel sail, "teulL _IL%
Dorigh ,, ." FRED relates, with evident
enjoyment, the rei ark. lie heard tall
front the lips of setl•nt I White men
among that waiting erowd as he passed
into the President's room : " There! I
knew the d--d nigger would get in first."
FrtEn. then proeee& to tell his de
lightterrietitt, ,net I.lte public whnt
kind of a rcorpli.,ll was,•xtvffiled to him
when he got inside. Ile says 1 Ir.
I,ExcoLN received him and naiad him
as olic gentleman reprices and treats
:mother."
This is the statement ui :in impudent
Lut intellia . ent tilt , special
pet or the Aholitionkt , uI v( \V York
and New England, ;mil it is true. What
do the honest Heptililieans of Lancaster
county think of it" \\lna have the
Lure-blooded hit, men :Wove
to _nt to sky .about The crowd of
white men that stood in the hall and
stairway leading to the President's
room, no doubt had among it some of
the most respeetable men in t he eountry.
There were soldiers in it, some of \\tom,
perhaps, had lost an arm or a hip, in the
service .1 their country. They had
wailed there G u n rout's: some of them
had been there day after day, and per
haps week after week, vainly seeking
an interview with Mr. LPschit.x ; but
the moment a negro presented his card,
Le was admitted.
These are sober facts. They are start
ling facts. ..-I,=nd to every tight-minded
White they must be mortifying
factS.
Honest Itepublican voters of Laneas
ter county, we appeal to you as White
Men who must naturally feel some pride
in the pure 'i'ateasian blood that flows in
your veins, aril we ask you how you can,
consistently with your self-respect, vote
for a man who lets a crowd of respecta
ble - White Men stand out while Ile in
vites a Negli9 in ? 'Fhat crowd of White
Men were friends of Mr. LINC"LN. The
fact that they were there proves them
to have his friends. Now if a large
number of your friends were waiting at
your door to :41![• yUll, would you keep
them out :mil let in an impudent negro
who had elbowed his way throuli them?
We are sure you would not, and we are
equally sui . e your Flood would boil with
indignation if you were to see it done
by any other White Man. How then is
it possible for you to vote for Mr. LIN-
CuLN, Who Las ill so (•onspicuothi a man
ner given a Negro the preference over
White Men"
Another Draft Impending
ir re-eieek•d; there
win be :mother (bail
iovernor Seymour stated, in
a speech delivered at Reading . , Pa., last
week, that the Administration had al
leady intimated as much to him. The
draft, too, will probably be for ow mil
lion. Governor Seymour does not state
the number, only that " it will be Ihr
b rgcid Otir that has yet been made."
The reasons for this are obvious. The
army was filled up in 18tr2 by three years
men, whose time will begin to expire
next spring.. The men Who were draft
ed this sear under 50u,000 have but one
year to serve. Their terms of service
will also lie out next year. With .Mr.
Lincoln in office, there is no possibility
of peace. The South cannot make peace
with hint, for his demands are utterly
inadmissable. He will offer them no
thing before which utter ruin and
anni
hilation are not a thousand times pre
ferable. With his re-election, therefore,
there is no hope, not the Slightest.
Every .num who votes for Mr. Lincoln
votes openly and knowingly for more
drafts, for burdening towns, counties,
and cities with more taxes, and for an
unending war upon the Southern States.
=ESE
Last year the Abolition majority in
Lancaster county was 5,691. This year
Stevens' majority is only 4,o46—show
ing a Democratic gain of 1,645. Thus
has this arch Disunionist and unprinci
pled demagogue been condemned at
home, by his neighbors and acquain
tances; and the day will come, if he
lives a few years longer, when a large
majority of his constituents will curse
him to his face as being the principal
instigator and author of our National
woes: He has for many long years been
sowing the wind, and he will yet reap
the whirlwind of popular indignation,
or we are very much mistaken. He has
been weighed in the balance and found
wanting, and his downard career has
already commenced. Vox populi, vox

The Abolition Vice President
Mr. Johnson, the Tennessee candidate
for the Vice Presidency on the ticket
with Lincoln, was once thought an ex
tretnist on the question ofseeessionism.
In the latter days of the United Repub
lic, he harmonized in speech, vote and
resolve with Davis, Toombs and other
southern leaders, so closely, as to he
thought thoroughly identified with
them in all their designs.
At length he saw the gradual forma
lion of a human pyramid. This exhi
bition attracted his ambition to attempt
clinic cur. White men he thought too
feeble to support him in his ascent, and
forgetting former professions, selected
stalwart negroes as his supporters. His
tastes have vastly changed or his old
preferences were skillfully concealed.
He was six years a southern man—in
proof read the following series of reso
lutions, when he was Senator

The Way the Current Sets
It is apparent to every One that the
,•urrent 1,1 public feeling sets strongly
in favor of the Democracy, Lincoln is
losing daily, and the Democracy are
gaining everywhere. This is the plain
fact. From all sections we hear of large,
accessions to the standard of McClellan;
their number is counted by hundreds;
while scores of newspapers hitherto
supporting Lincoln, are doing efficient
service in the cause of Peace and Union.
And the "common own," the honest
voters who make no noise in the world,
arc rallying by thousands to our aid.
And it is a significant fact that the
changes are all in this direction ; not
a man hitherto with us•is found now
with our opponents, except an occa
sional one who hats been openly bought
up. This great fact is full of encourage
ment to the friends of the Union. It
should amPwill incite thtem to renewed
and still more energetic efffirts in sup
port of this cause ; for it gives hope of
a success which will ensure the preser
vation of all that is dear to the patriot's
heart—of all that is left of the fruits of
our industry and the legacy of our
If
athers.
"Onee More to the Breach!"
We have met the enemy, and defeat
ed him in one of the hardest political
battles ever lought in Pennsylvania, but
the campaign is not yet over. We have
captured his out works, but the citadel
is yet to lie stormed. His legions have'
been driven back with heavy loss, de-'
moralized and disheartened ; but he will
make one more desperate rally on the
Bth of November, and is already (dosing
up Lis broken ranks and marshaling
his forces for the thlal struggle. What,
then, is the duty of our Democratie
friends? Is it to rest upon our laurels
so nobly WWI on Tuesday last, and de
pend upon chance or the prestige then
gained fur success in the future: By
no means. Such a course on our part,
would ensure defeat in - November. We
must reorganize' NV it bout delay—put our
battalions in lull lighting trim again--
work, work, 'veil: as we never worked
before during the balance of the cam
paign, and tlien, and only then, have
we any right to claim success in the
Presidential battle. That a glorious vic
tory is in store for us if we do our duty
like men, is just as certain as that the
sun will rise to-morrow morning; but
it is equally sure that the fruits of the
victory of Tuesday last would all be
lost if we failed, by supineness and in
di ilitrence, to improve the advantages
we possess. We, therefore, urge upon
our Democratic friends throughout the
county to close up the ranks at once,
and prepare, without a moment's de
lay, for the dread encounter which is to
deride the destiny of the country for all
time to come. Remember, that eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty, and he
who would be free must show himself
worthy to enjoy a freeman's rights.
Strike once more, Hien, for (toil and
Liberty, and assist in redeeming
beloved country from the tyranny un
der which it has been groaning for the
last three or four veers. •
Think of It
Did you ever hear of a smutty joke by
General McClellan? Did you ever hear
any one say that when on the battle
field, surrounded by the dead and dying,
he called for a ribald song? Mr. Lincoln
called on Marshal Lamon to sing Pic
ayune Butler, and General McClellan,
who always sympathizes with the sol
diers, said no ! Did you ever know any
sentence or remark ascribed to McClel
lan that might not come from the great
est student in the land? Compare the
qualifications of the two men. Compare
their conduct. Compare their senti
ments on the conduct of war and the
restoration of the Union !
Forney Muddled; or, 1856 and 1864 Com
pared.
The despatch which Forney sent over
the wires at the October election in 1856
was one of-the most distinct, plain and
business-like paragraphs that ever ema
nated from his fruitful pen.
His despatch on the present occasion
is muddy, indistinct, and unintelligible.
He alleges that he has possession of all
the strongholds, and yet he says he
means to march upon works that cer
tainly, for that reason, have no exist
ence,

Who are Disunlontsts ?
The Abolition leaders no longer at
tempt to conceal their determination to
effect the dissolution of the Union and
to prevent its reconstruction or restora
tion under the Constitution. GREELEY,
in the New York Tribune, referring to
the two hundred thousand martyrs who
have sacrificed their lives for the Union
and the Constitution of our fathers, used
the following accursed sentiment:
Standing on their graves, we swear,
with uncovered heads, that, the restored
Union shall not be as it was, but as it should
be."
ThiS is in 011i5011 with the key-note
soundud hy 'PHA DDEUS STEvENs, Chair
man of the Committee of Ways and
Means, when he said on the floor of
( ow.rre—
" This tall: td restoring, the Union as it
was, tinticr the lonstitut ion as it is, is one
of Ilic altstirtlities which I base heard re
peated till I pace become about sick of it.
This l'hicii luf ter sl utll, With Illy Volltielll,
be rcsturcil undo the Constitution as it is."
While standing on the graves, says
the Louisville Jouritcd, of ,McPherson,
and Kearney, and Lyon, and Jackson,
and McKee, and Bacon, and Cotton,
and Campbell, and Davidson, and
Evans, and Fiirman, and Milward, and
Netter, and others, who have given up
their lives to their country, the blasphe
mous radical who was for dividing the
rnion in Ix6l, when the rebellion broke
out, now swears with uncovered head
that thy restored [ - Ilion shall not bC
it ruts, bof as if shard,' bp=t hut is, as the
Abolitionists would have it. FLeemen
of America, will you allow this traitor
to propose :my such oath to you? You
lun•e but one way to make your answer
known, and that is through the ballot
box on thesth of November next. Then,
in the might anti majesty of an insulted
people, let us swear that the ['llion shall
be preserved and the Constitution main
tained, and that the heritage of liberty
transmitted front our sires shall be
handed down to our children's chil
dren unsullied and unimpaired.
Taxes ! Taxes !
Taxes are enormous. Every man finds
he pays twice as much this year as last
on his house and lot. Afen who own
tenements and let them, find that it
takes about all the rent to pay taxes, re
palN and insurance.
The Internal ll.evenue tax is another
hole in every man's pocket. The extol
tire pee rrnt. of this fit.r, levied last winter
is to be collected in January—the col
lection having been postponed tarot
ofOr the' (ler•tie,le
War is indeed a costly luxury for tax
payers. The ordinary daily expenses of
the war are Three Millions per day.
Every soldier raised now costs One
Thousand Dollars, hard cash. Every
considerable battle costs an extra Mil
lion of dollars.
War annihilates property. lis expen
ses are so muell gone forever! Money
expended in building canals, or railroads
or other public improvements, (tomes
back in the shape of tolls, dividends,
rise of real estate, Sc., tAc. But not so
in a war, and especially in such a war
as Lincoln would make this, not a war
for the Union, but for blotting out State
rights and freeing negroes.
Just the Man
Burnside says of Alet:lellan :
" For years we have lived in the same
family, and I know him as well as ally
human being on the face of the earth,
and I KNow THAT NO :SIORE HONEST,
coNsciENTiors MAN EN AN GEN.
MCCLELLAN."
That is just the kind of a man the
people want for President. They are
tired, sick and disgusted with the
" smutty joker" who now holds that
office; they are indignant atthe knavery
and corruption, the robbery and swin
dling which he and his supporters have
introduced and practiced upon such an
enormous scale. They want an holiest
loan, and they know 4. len.
to he such a man. Ile is the man for
theql—the man they want—the man
they are bound to have for their chief
servant. Let honest men think of this
and rally to the aid of the great party of
honest, patriotic and disinterested men
who are laboring for Peace, the Union,
the salvation of the country.
The Gunboat General
:Shortly after McClellan's heroic con
duct in the seven days' fighting before
Richmond, the following• was dispatch
ed to him I.y the President:
ASIIINUTON, July 2, 1864.
fcr . jew Gen,' re 1 ( ;el,rgo R. I
:1111 satiNtied that yourself, officers and men
have lone the best you could. All accoUnts
say hettcr lUrli!ill4 Wai never done. Ten
thousand thanks fu ymt. A. LINCOLN.
Immediately after the battle and vic
tory at Antietam, General McClellan
received the following despatch :
WASH mrroN,.Sept..ls, 1862.
Your despatch of to-day is received. God
yt,u tool Le with you. A. LINCOLN.
.\ I ajm. (;,•zwral (:C., - ) rge B. A1((1 11a
In August last the elder Blair Was
dispatched to New York to see McClel
lan and offer him a high command in
the army.
Yes, he is a gunboat General, iron
clad, armed to the teeth with Paixhan
gulls, with a hardy crew aboard, a gal
lant command and the Union flag afloat!
Let privateers, blockade runners, and
pirates of the black flag look out when
the gunboat McClellan comes along,
Sales for Taxes
We have enough of these now. But
how will it be when Lincoln's " four
years more" -of war are over and all war
debts tripled or quadrupled ?
In county, town and school district,
the advertisement " Sales for Taxes,"
will abound. The little farms and cozy
homesteads, in which men barely sup
port themselves and families, will be
brought to the hammer. The condition
of things which large public debts and
heavy taxation have brought about in
the old world, will, by Lincolnism, he
reproduced here ; and you will have two
distinct classes of society,—the landed
and pampered few, and the landless,
homeless and suffering many !
4Eir Private letters are beginning to
arrive from Democratic soldiers in the
army, giving the details of the various
methods taken to disfranchise those
who desired to vote the Democratic
ticket, and also partiCularizing cases
where soldiers of other States were per
mitted to vote in large numbers as Penn
sylvanians for the shoddy candidates.
This matter should be looked into at
once, and set right.

The Value of the Onion
The killowing extract from a speech
made (lov. Seymour, of New York,
at St. Paul, in August, will illus
trate the value of the American Union
and the meddling fanaticism of those
who have been for years the
South, and thus bringing about a state
of feeling which has endangered the
continuance of that I.Tnion :
There is an instintive ditFcrenee be
tweeu the twit parties. The Democratic !
party is a let-alone party ; the Itepuh- I
divan party is a meddling party. [Deaf
ening cheers.] It is a great deal easier
to denounee other people for their sins
titan to reform ourselves ; it is a great
deal easier to obtain politieal power by
inflaming the passions itnd prejudices
of our neighbors, by denouneing men a
thousand miles aWay, that> it is to gain
influence by governing our walk in life
by the principles of Justice, or the die
• tates of a sound patriotism. [Cheers.]
Is it not too true that the reverse Of [ilk
has been hurtful to the morals of our
people, and hurtful to tile pulpit, of
which I speak with all reverence, and
to the holy doctrines which should issue
from the sacred desk 7 [Cheers.] Is it
not too true, my Republican friends,
that a rifle for Kansas, or a curse or the
South, has weighed more in the politi
cal scale than private virtues or public
service? reatwavering.] \V hence
comes slavery ? We have Seen who
prolonged it; now, my friends do you
I ever stop to inquire who uplioltlsit':
It is sustained by the firm of " Weaver,
Wearer Planter," and two Of the
partnerti live up North. [Cheers„and
I laughter.] Eve> y one knows that but
for the loom of New England and Old
England, it could not live a day. The
loudest denunciations against slavery
are made hy men with cotton shirts on
their backs. The most fervent pulpit
exhortations against slavery come from
melt who wrap themselves for repose at
night in cotton sheets; who lay their
heads on coi;o11 pillows, and gri to sleep
thanking ( god tnat they are better than
the men "down South." [Laughter.]
I was called upon some year; ago,
while Governor of New York, by a de
putation of Quakers from (treat Britain,
to lay before the a testimony " against
slavery. As they wished, glistened to
them. We afterwards fell into a eon-
versation, and the question arose why
the people or Europe were sit oppressed
anti burdened so heavily by taxation.
AVe attributed it to the difibrefice in
their language—t he great zonnherof na
tionalties, divided hy imaginary lines--
the petty jealousies tool ,tri r, s, and con
sequent necessity for maintaining large
standing armies. NVe then spoke of
the blest condition of Etirope if all these
rival Ilovernment , could he moulded
into one, speaking a cominon language,
having common sympathies, with no
custom-houses to annoy, tun' no stand

friends warmed with enthusiasm at the
glorious picture. and expressed the ear

The people of the border States—Rei

There is hope of Rhode Island, and we

The draft was postponed in Philadel

Administration puts the screws on.
Thus we find the following in Friday's

This is a fair sample of what way he
expected if Mr. Lincoln is re-elected.
The people will be beguiled by fair pro
fessions, until after the election, When,
should this Administration be sustain
ed, the hand of power will be laid more
heavily than ever upon the people, and
a merciless conscription will sweep over
the laud. Let every man who values
his liberty and life, and the life of his
son, take ranting before it is too lete.
The Monroe Doctrine
A Washington letter contains the an
nexed paragraph :
" Private advises received by the etov
eminent here are to the effect that
Maximilian's empire is now firmly
established, and that the last battle has
been fought. There is now no organized
force of Mexicans in the field in any
part of the great empire of Mexico. The
war has now degenerated into a series of
guerilla fights which it is supposed the
hrm, but temperate and conciliatory
policy of the new Emperor will speedily
subdue. It is no secret that, as soon as
the election is over, no matter what the
result, Mr. Seward will immediately
receive a minister from Maximilian."
The Monroe Doctrine has already been
repudiated by Mr. LINCOLN'S Adminis
tration, the continuance of which would
witness Its total abandonment.

Phillips, and others id omne y(71118, who
have longand unblushingly proclaimed
their hostility to the Union of our fore
fathers.
Old the a Rebel Itve . eulting °nicer
Emersofl Etheridge, ,Republican clerk
of the last 1-louse of Representives, de
serted Lincoln when Lincoln deserted
tlte Union. In Mr. Etheredge's recent
speech in Philadelphia, he says :
In my State he will have no vote.
And why? Just because Abraham Lin
coln has used the army and navy' of this
country for two years and a half to keep
us out of the Union, and disfranchised
sixty or seventy thousand citizens.
I, to night, arraign Abraham Lincoln
as the commissary, the best recruiting
officer, the best friend that rebeldom
ever had. He has stifled more Union
sentiment, since the beginning of the
r, than any fifty 111(.11. in Richmond.
Some of the more independent, Re
puldicall papers are beginning to speak
out againSt the great wrong committed
by President Lincoln in keeping 50,000
soldiers in Soul prisons when they
might he exchanged. Thu ;Springfield,
.11,1.iff/Wiectit protests against it ill
the following vigorous language :
" We might recover our white soldiers
now in rebel hands by the proposed ex
change, and yet hold a large balance as
hostages for the colored soldiers while
their status is in controversy. lf, under
these circumstances, the leaving of
thirty-five thousand white men to suffer
and die at the rate of one hundred per
day, is not practically, in the eyes of
both God and man—murder, ?mower,
]MURDER, MURDER, what is it?"
This is from a Republican paper.
How can any friend of the soldier sup
port an Administration and a candidate
thus denounced by its own party papers
for inhumanity to soldier..?
One good effect already apparent from
the result of the election, is the cour
tesy with which Democrats are now
treated by the Abolition party. It is in
marked contrast with their conduct du
ring the last three years and a half.
They will be still more respectful to
their Democratic neighbors after the
November election, unless all the signs
of the times are grievously at fault: •

The Kind of "Life-Long Democrats"
l'etted bS the Administrationists.
The Detroit I',' , n. tells a good
story of a "life-lulu Democrat," which
is illustrative of the sort of men the Ad
ministration use and pets Limier that
desi:onition and upon whom it charges
some of the prevailing frauds and pecu
lation. it is a true story, we copy:

,I ; , p tho coontr- school houses up
in the pineries of St. Clair county. lie was
axing exceedingly it rathful ahem the
hateful t'opp,•rheads, and declared that
though he had heel a " life-long Democrat,
he could not support the party any longer,
mid should vote for Litteolti and Johnson."
At this junettire a gentleman interrupted
him %\ ith ":\ Ir. •, I happen to know
you. )'roti 'Ail, lately pardoned out of the
State Prison hy ~.ti erltor Bbiir, upon the
oxpress stipulation that you would give

The gentleman . , oratory "simmered"
down. If Wi• were to use Mr. Lincoln's el
oquent language, wu should say that ho
'turned his tail,' but not having a great
Taney to the country style of our worthy
President, his narrative suddenly closed,
and no more was heard of our "life-long
Dentoerat.''

Shoddyite advertises to all liars, drunk
ards and scoundrels generally, to fur
nish him with inventions to prove the
cowardice and treason of Gen. McClel

of them. Suppose, in addition to his
labors in that direction, he now proceed
