Ohio Comr,resnien
Notwithstanding the blowing of the
Abolitionists, we carry six Democratic
Congressmen in Ohio on the home vote.
Firnik beats Stevenson ; Noble beats
Buckland Follet beats Delano ; Rice
beats Ashley, and Le Blonde is elected .
in the Mercer and Auglaze District, over
Moses B. Walker. Of these the follow
ing will be elected notwithstanding the
" Noldier votA."—Finek, Le litiud, Follett
and Rice. On the home vote the Ohio
Delegation stands 13 Abolition, to G
Denmeratic ; and on the whole vote, will
stand - 15 to 4. The Abolition majority
on the State ticket will not exceed 15,000
—a Democratic gain of 40,000. Good for
Ohio! Try it again in Noyernlnr,—Day
too Empire.
The EleetiOn Mast be Free
The very first condition, the one es
sential prerequisite of a popular elec
tion, is that it shall be entirely free and
completely without the taint of fraud.
If it be not free, it is but a mere mock
ery; if it be not destitute of fraudi it is
necessarily so vitiated as to be in no
sense entitled to be regarded as - such an
expression of public sentiment as is
binding. Force used at the ballot-box
renders an election but the veriest farce,
while fraud vitiates the whole transac
tion. In this country we choose our
rulers, from the highest to the lowest,
by ballot. The intention of the framers
of the Government was, that the elec
tions should always be entirely free. It
is on the presumption of their being so,
that our Government, state and Na
tional, have hitherto been conducted.
Until within the last three years no al
legation was err,- made that any elec
tion was controlled by force, while if
frauds were practiced, they were of such
limited and partial extent as to have al
most entirely escaped notice. Latterly
things have changed—changed wonder
fully, and changed for the worse. Now
both force and fraud are used to control
elections.
In Ten ne, , zee we have Andrew Johrl
son, Mr. Lincoln's military Governor,
and ,hi= associate on the Abolition ticket
Gn iee President, openly deelaringhis
mtemhm so to use the military power
:,1 his emninalid as to prevent any re
-ult of an election there to he held
other than just such as he may choose
1' dictate. And, when a number of the
tuna respectable and prominent loyal

'Sr. Lineoln. a- President, they are

l'atit;ht Stlillilig a Ballot Box
An Abolition election °nicer was
caught stuffing the ballot box at
Jute of the polls in this county on the
day of the recent election. The Demo
cjratic in , pector detected him in the
very act of cramming the tickets in,
:,01,1 charged him with it. The scoun
drel denied of Bourse ; but when the
vote, were counted out it was discover
ed that there were more tickets in the
box than there were names on the tal
ly 'Japers. This proved that the charge
tattle during the day was true; and the
matter was tinally arranged by au agree
ment allowing the Democratic inspec
tor to destroy enough oP the Abolition
tickets to make the count agree with
the tally paper. It tint law is not en
forced in ail its rigor in this ease there
is no use in having laws to protect the
freedom of elections. It lies been sug
gested that the (gaud Jury, if a large
majority of them were Republicans,
would ignore a bill j Of indictment. We
du nut think so. We should much
dislike to believe that twenty-four men
could be got together anywhere in
Pennsylvania, anlimg whom a major
ity could be found to wilfully disregard
their solemn oaths for the purpose of
shielding a political friend from pun
ishment so richly deserved. We insist
upon it that the scoundrel shall be
prosecuted. Let us see whether a bill
cannot be found, and the criminal pun
ished as he deserves to he.
ge - ,; -- T he Democratic majority in Penn
sylvahia on Tuesday, the 11th of Octo
ber, on the Congressional vote, is 1,958,
and the average Democratic majority
cast on the county tickets, including the
Congressional vote, is 9,863 ! The mag
nificent victory, achieved in the face of
the most unscrupulous and determined
opposition ever before arrayed against
them, has covered the Democracy of
Pennsylvania with glory. The Aboli
tionists never dreamed of such a crush
ing defeat. The Democrats scarcely per
mitted themselves to hope for such a
heart-cheering result. But ru E PEOPLE
outraged and insulted by Mi'. Lincoln's
destructive negro policy, rose in their
strength, and won this great triumph of
truth tml justice over fraud and despot
ism. Be of good sheer, freemen ! On
Tuesday next, the ,Old Keystone will
give 30,000 majority for McCLELLAN,
PENPX=I;OI I and the'UNION I
Plain Thonglits for Plain Men
It is truly amazing how any sensible
man can pursuade himself. that the
election Lincoln is the surest
`and shortest road now tit;•-peace: He
rstandiirbefore the nation otfa war plat
formchtly, and:to vote for him is to vote
for war—to the extent, if need be, of a:
full extermination of the South: That
is his policy openly acknowledged be
fore angels and men. Tile South must
bend or break ; he will hear of no mid
dle course ; the only alternatives with
him are absolute submission or abso
lute ruin. This is his policy . band to all
the horrofs of this policy every' luau
commits himself, who votes to have
him continued in otliee. How can any
one deceive himself so far as to imagine,
that in doing so he is seeking the wel
fare of his eountry,otr serving the cause
of religion, humanity and peace?
The deluslon lies in supposing, that
the mere show of a resolute determina
tion on ertir side to carry forward the
war in this unt•ompromising Way will
be enough of itself to bring the South to
terms. We are to let the t-' , outhern peo
ple see that we meat[ to crush them, if
need be, in good earnest; and then, we
may hope, they will save us the horri
ble necessity of doing so by Hinging
themselves in dispiir at 'wt. feet. They
are already tired of the war, we are told;
they know their cans. , to he desperate,
and they are only teed' ling out now be
cause they hope fit'.a political diversion
in their favor ! hrough the divided coun
sels of the North. Let it appear, by the
election ni Alr. Lincoln that hi,. policy
is to Ittl•vail. and that the war is to go
on, if nece,ary to the Hite* end, and
then the spirit of their tireatti Ditty be
expected tee uneierim a change. They
will lee ready to throw down their arms
and sutlor peat,.
Such is lice presumption--te mere im
agination at the hest—on the strength
of which initltitude ,, are willing to make
the fearful venture el.: committing the
enuntry at this time to all that is appall

In either view the case, the pituc:i

The Torchlight Procession in Philailel
On last :-icturday night the Demorracy
of Philadelphia had a general torchlight
procession and illumination in honor
of the victory fairly and honorably
achieved ley us in the recent election.
The affair was in all respects thc largest
and most successful demonstration of
the kind ever witnessed in Philadelphia.
But the intolerant and tyrannical spirit
of Abolitionism was displayed in all its
brutality and bitterness. Various as
saults were made on the procession at
different points along the route. The
Democracy bore it until forbearance
ceased to he a virtue, and then they
effectually cleaned out the holes and
hiding places which t hei r opponents had
chosen as 'laces of resort. The rooms
of the League were somewhat injured,
and other places from which stones and
filth were thrown were riddled. No
thing buta complete failure of the police
to do their duty could have rendered
such retaliation proper and necessary.
The police of Philadelphia winked at
and secretly encouraged the assaults
upon the procession. In vain were they
appealed to for protection against the
outrages perpetrated. They refused to
do their duty.
One old man, an innocent and unof
fending citizen in the procession, was
killed by being struck on the head by
some missile thrown into the procession
from a building along the route. In the
various collisions a number of other
persbns were severely wounded. Times
have wonderfully degenerated when a
political procession cannot pass peace
ably along the streets of our cities and
towns. The people are learning some
lessons from experience, and, among
others, this: that if the authorities will
not protect them in their rights and
privileges, they must then use for their
own defence the means which God anti
Nature live given them.
Poor Peniisylrania.
The_ burdens of 'his miserable war
Tress with peculiar' severity upon poor
tax-ridden Pennsylvania.. Not only
has she promptly responded to every
call of the President for men, net only
does she contribute her full share to the
treasury of the United States, not only
has she suffered inore from rebel incur
sions than any other Northern State,
but she is now compelled to raise and
maintain a standing army for her own
defence, and pay it herself.
The situation of Pennsylvania, with
in striking distance of the rebel armies
of Virginia, is a sufficient misfortune
for her people. It cruel enough that
our soil is an n 14 -1y invaded by the
enemy, our fields. ;roddeu down and
ravaged, our citizenH plundered and our
towns subjected to) contributions and
destroyed by fire,`` - Mile the people of
New England are : reposing in safety
hundreds of miles from the scene of
war. Itut it is still harder that we must
raise, equip and support an army of
protection at our own expense.
If the United States are one people,
if they are one Nati ! m as our opponents
insist, or a Union as the Democracy
contend, why shoGhl not the inhabi
tants of Maine and (llalifornia contribute
to the defences of Pennsylvania . : Our
(;overnur demanded thus notch of the
Administration at 'Washington, and-but
for thy subserviency of an Abolition
legislature, whose idea of loyalty is
servility, wordil have secured it. Rut
now, while Luzern, and Erie are pay
!lig for the protetion of Franklin,
Adams and York fq.'unties, New Damp
shire and Miehiganivoldly leave Penn
sylvania to protect fiersell.
We are raising a standing army of
1."),oull teen to defend Pennsylvania, in
a war wIlh•li is the common rause of all
the States. The annual cost of an army
in the field is computed to average, for
pay of others and privates, subsistence,
equipments, arms, supplies and am
munition, sl,ono pe4 man. Al this rate
our State army wilVeost fifteen millions
of dollars per annum.
'Ellis is a gloomy prospect for the tax

They believe all Democrats to be Cop

These are the viel;.!s and the charac

the most contemptible, the most hypo

In explaining Why Cleneral GRANT
failed in his last great movementlo cap
ture Richmond, the. New York 71111 , x
(Mr. Lincoln's spec4ll organ in the me
tropolis) of October lst gives the prom
inence of double leads to the following:
The operations on the north side of
the James are of so obvious a character,
and are so fully detailed in the letter of
the Times' correspondent with that ar
my, as to need no furiher interpretation.
The obvious moral`of the late move is
only a confirmation of what Was the act
ual truth before it twos made. Grant
needs reinforcements, and with these to
an adequate extent the capture of Rich
mond is a foregone conclusion.
- WILLI - Am SWINTON.
If General GRANT wants reinforce
ments now after the recent heavy draft,
how much more will he want them
when one third of his present army
leaves for home, al; they will do be
fore the coming spring ; for the term of
service of at least that number will have
expired by that time. That there Will
be more drafts if Mr. LINCOLN is re
elected cannot be gainsaid, for his pol-
Iv forbids 411 llone tf peace.

The South About to Arm the Negro.'
It seems to be pretty well established
by the tone of recent articles in leading
Southern papers that the rebels have at.
length resolved to arm three hundred
thousand negroes. •If they do so, they
will be able to make their black troops
much more serviceable to them than
ours ever have been to us. No man and
no party in the youth ever dreams of
such a disgusting thing as making th&
negro the equal of the white man. They
are universally regarded as a separate
and distinct race, to be used and em
ployed in properly subordi nat e positions
in society. The man in moderate cir
cumstances, works in his field side by
side with the negro he owns, but the
idea that he thereby degrades himself
to the equal of the representative of an
inferior race by his side never enters
his head. He is a white than, and by
virtue of his birth necessarily superior.
This may sound harshly to Abolition
ears, but it is nevertheless the Southern
view of the matter.
If the rebels arm. a portion of their
negroes, the men taken to swell their
ranks will he selected with great care.
They will not he the refuse of the race,
such as Afassachusetts and other States
have gathered up to save the cowardly
carcases of Abolitionists from the dan
gers of the war they have 'preached and
precipitated upon the country. They
will be the hest and most trusty slaves
of the South; such as can be relied
upon with eontidence ; those who sym
pathize with their toasters and are de
voted to their interests ; and of such
there are multitudes. The promise of
freedom, and a home of fifty acres of
land in the made to these men,
will lie the strongest possible , incentive
to exertion which could he of - tiered to
them.
lint even if no such ofFer were made,
even if they were to be thrust into the
ranks with arm, in their 7 hands, the
South (otthl so control these auxiliaries
as to make them vastly more efficient
than any negro troops we have pal iu
the field can ever possibly he.
They would nut form them into sepa
rate regiments, lint would fight them in
white regiments, putting a white malt
side by side with a negro, or a white
company side by side with a ldack one.
Thus they would he constantly under
the immediate personal control of the
whites, to an extent that negroes in our
employ never can he.
The - would he little used for offen
sive operation , , but almost exclusively
for defense. The war has taught US hy
painful and most bloody experiencethat
to ae ' offi l dish wh at we I .l.° l )se , we
nest eUllstantly take the position of
the attacking party. It is within the
means of the South to makethe negnws.
they employ Li tremendous military ob
stacle in the way of our advance. If
the negro will fight at all, be will light
hest breastworks, side by side
with his master, and under his imme
diate supervision . . If the black possesses
one - Murt It of the lighting qualities at
tributed to him liy Abolition newspa
pers, have reason t" dr ead Hew
move of the relic's. If our two hundred
thousand negro soldiers are of any great
value, the three hundred thousand to he
equipped by the South will he it match
for double their number in our hands.
The patty acting on the defense, if pro
tected by earthworks, ' whieli negroes
will build rapidly and skillfully under
proper supervision, will haVellWre than
the advantage of tints makitig one inart
in defense the equal of two in attack.
If the rehels should conclude to arm
a portion or their 11.411,.. , •:, and should
ch.,e to encourage them to exertion by
the oll s er or freedom and a home in a
1;11111 congenial to them, they will thus
sot hefore them the highest possible in
ducement to •exertiOn. The negro in
the South knows that if he
North in search of freedom, he i , only
exchanging an inhospitable climate for
a 1110 re (•002'elliA one. 111. knows, too,
that if he comes here he will he thrust
into the rank:3 and he will prefer to
fight for freedom and a home in the
South rather than to ahandon all his
former associ;itions and the climate
which suits hint. It is possible the
relict's arm three hundred thousand
negrous. If they do, they Will be worth
more to them than twice that number
can possilily be to us. They will he a
tremendous power of defence in their
hands.,
not will pre,ent, a huge harrier
in the way of any advance attempted
hy our :armies. They will never he the
equal , of our brave white troops, but
they will lie infinitely superior to the
we have enlisted.

A Word to Poor Men
It is very easy for men to cry, War!
War! Blood! Blood! who have" exemp
tion papers " in their pockets, or have
made money enough out of the govern
ment to buy substitutes ; and expect to
make many times more by the contin
uance of the war. But to poor men,
with dependent families, with want and
poverty staring them in the face, the
prospect of a draft is not so small a mat
ter. But what matters it to these Helper
Abolitionists, if poor men are sacrificed.
Henry J, Raymond in his speech said
there are plenty more in Europe who
are ready to take their places.
The Lie out Somewhere
In the Express of last evening the fol
kaving account is given of the Aboli
tion murder and outrage on the great
Democratic - torch-light procession in
Philadelphia on Saturday evening. The
italics in the article are our own :
• A serious disturbance took place in Phila
delphia on Saturday evening, while a Demo
cratic procession was passing Union l-eague
Hall and the Soldiers' Campaign 1 leadtjuar
ters. The asBault ira4 made by in
the procession, much 1/ mod,' o-f , y .o; the
Sourkrout-guerilla, <L,Noulteil
vale! delegation in Manor street on the 4th of
October. The outrage was resented, and of
course several persons were injured—un
fortunately as mostly happens in such cases,
the victim of the mob being an innocent
man, named James Campbell, 115 years o f
'age, who was killed by a blow received b<L
hind the ear. The police, aided hy the
efforts of order-loving citizens, finally suc
ceeded in , inching the disturbance. The
disgraceful affair was the legitimate "result
of the teachings of the copperhead ,press
and speakers—the echo of rebel threats—
Mat in certain contingency the streets of
,air northern cities shall flow with blood!
On the other hand Forney's Pre.,., of
yesterday, which makes a desperate
effort to get its party friends out of the
ugly dilemma, gives the following as
the cause of the murder and outrage:
" Put every v: ell grown man ;It all .on-
Cerlled ill the prOCeedill Saillrll,ly niche
will Mush to hear that this ~ , ntemptible
though thmi distitrhance arose out of the
.marrels hoy,, the vagrants of the streets.. •
The fling in (_-;eist's precious morceau
at the citizens of the S. \V. \\lard is
characteristic of the man nul the dam
nable cause he is paid for advocating.
The citizens of that ward. however,
know how to appreciate his line attacks
—they always resent the same by giv
ing largely increased Dimmer:lC,. ma
jorities. He is a pretty n•llow to talk
about "the disgraceful anitir being

This was the end of the 11.4. There was

How THEY LOVE TILE NEGRO.—The
official report from New Orleans says
that p'n thousand freed negroes have
starved to death in the past two years.
It is one of the peculiar beauties of Abo
lition philanthropy that enables slaves
to exchange the comforts of servitude
for the miseries of freedom. All the Abo
litionists desire is to get free negroes to
work the plantations of the. South when
they come into the possession of Gov
ernment favorites under the confiscation
law.

The Alleged Feands. on Soldiers Votes.
The military commission in session at
ilaltimon , yesterday continued the inYesti
gotten of the alleged Democratic frauds up
on the soldier's vote. Mr. Donahue, ono, of
the prisoners, Was brought into court, and
having no counsel, he defended his own ease
objecting., in - the first place, to the jurisdie
t ion of the Court, which objection was over
ruled. Mr. Donahue pleaded guilty of his
having ,igned certain blankswith the name
of C. S. Arthur, Captain and Aid-de-Camp,
and no others, and as it did not appear that
he was :in officer of the State of _New York
or of the United States, he contended that
no crime had been committed.
The evidence in the case is altogether c.,-
pure, and is in many respects contradictory.
The whole examination is On its face a Pay
tkall anair, which could not staind the test
of a fair jury trial, and for this reason it has
been committed to a military commission t:,
work np. In submitting the ease to the
Court., the .Judge Advocate exhibited his
partisan prejudices in the grossest manner,
anti expressed hisconviction that Doitalme's
('rime no, rus the extreme penalty of death.
The emir( room was then cleared, mul the
Commissieu , eeeded to deliberate upon
the caso. lf c: , nrsc their decision cannot be
known until after it has been passed upon
by the President. "Cho nt,ll

We charge, and it eat] he proved, that
numbers of the envelopes of soldiers voting
for McClellan have been seized in the mails
and withhold front the persons ter: *nom Setif
or 'lef'lellan ballots taken out and Lincoln
ballots } - ,nt in. One of t :tn. Grant's own
staff °cheers sent borne a AleClellan vote in
au envelope, which Lincoln's agcntsopened
on its way and substituted therein a Lin
coln vote, ;eing Itonic unexpectedly, he
opened the envelope and discovered the
fraud.
WO oil nielve.s have been in Ii wined by let
ters, and by messengers from the camps, or
numbers of proxies sent on by soldiers who
asked to intrust them to our charge, and to
have them cast for General McClellan. Met
one qi these soldiers' voles in's ever retrial
it. Of course they have been seized by
Lincoln's agents. Lincoln ballots will I
put in the place of McClellan ballots, and
the soldiers will be cheated of their votes.
Mr. Lincoln thus made sure of the post of-
Me. But that, of course, was reckoned
upon. The votes sent through the mails we
have counted for lost ever since Mr. Lincoln
and his secretaries begartviolatingthe mails
and taking private dispatches front the tel
egraph wires.
The office of the New York State Agent hi
