gar Gen. Fremont, finding that those
Republicans, who, like himself, , think Lin.
coin's Administration an entire failure, in r
tend to vote for McCutuarr, concludes
not to run all alone, and therefore retires
from the field, and gives poor Abraham a
parting kick, thus:
"In respect to Mr. Lincoln, I continue
to hold exactly the sentiments contained
in my letter of acceptance. I consider . that
his AdThinistration has been politically,
militarily, and financially a trAmunz."
Of course, then, the people want (0. got
a change.
'Two years ago the "government"
organs said MCCLELLAN won glorious vie
tories at Antietam, &c.; bat now becanse
he is a candidate, they say he was always
defeated.
Sheridan has had some skirmishing and
bushwhack fighting in the Shenandoah
valley, with probable success, and agreat
victory is reported. , •
But let General Sheridan be :named
for Congress against a shoddy-thief, and
they will swear that he was beaten.
larThe knaves or idiots who say our
platform declares for a disunion peace, are
requested,to read it carefully, incltidlng
the first resolution:
Resolved, That in the future, as in the
past, we will adhere with unswerving
fidelity to the Union, under the Constitu
tion, as the ONLY solid foundation of our
strength, security-and happiness as a peo-•
ple, and as the framework of the Govern
tnent, equally- conducive to the welfare
and prosperity of all the States, both
Northern and Southern.
Or Part of the Shoddy policy is to get
the people to think that the rebellion is
about crushed and that the war will end
in a short time. Such has been the cry
for over three years, and such it would be
as long as shoddy could hold power, and
divide plunder.
What became of the great reports of a
eictory at Atlanta? It ended in a great
smoke, for Sherman has to sit down and
allow the rebel army to hold a new posi
tion in his front, without being either
bagged, destroyed or routed.
tar At a Lincoln meeting in Washing-
ton, last week, Senator Lane said :
"I prefer the present of this Govern
ment, with all its trials, with all its ex
pense and bloodshed, to At FORMER
PERIOD 6f its history."
Just so. Give the Shoddy politicians a
chance and , we shall have an eternal war,
drafts and taxes, while they rob the hon
est men of their sons and their earnings,
and then laugh at their woes. They do
not like "any former period" of the good
Union of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson,
because they could not steal as now.
What say the people?
The Vile Lineolnitesßed.
The shoddy organs, in this vicinity and
elsewhere, whose columns ate 'stuffed with
numerous most shameless and wilful lies,
sre asked to notice this item from' one of
tite leading LincoJn journals, the Spring
field (Mass.) Republican :
"Let us have a fair contest. 14 us see
and stand to the real issue. Titer Unioti
cause is not so poor as to need LIES . for
its support, and lies will not help it.' Gen.
McClellan never offered his serneeS to the
rebels ; Mr. Pendleton did not 'vote
against supplies for the war, or thank
God that he so voted, and the Republican
presses that are reiterating these and oth
er falsehoods and forgeries are only dam
aging their own cause and giving substan
tial AID TO THE ENEMY. Shame on
them:that they have so little appaociation
ofthe strength and dignity of their emise
and so small confidence in the sense and
patriotism ofthe people."

March 18th, 1862, when Greeley was
opening ".thel — raid upon ' McClellan, the
Times said :
" It is greatly to be reg retted
_ that at
this critic moment the Tribune cannot
forget or lay aside its schemes of political
intrigue:long enough twenablo our armies
to crush tho rebellion. No man, with the
leastdiscernmept, can fail to see , that-tho
Tribune's crusade against McClellan is
prompted mainly by arcapprehension that
he.-may become a formidable candidate
for the Presidency, to the • exclusion of
some favorite of its own. and possibly in
opposition , to its owp political party. It is
certainly oingulark• ',hat a journal of SU
much political perspicacity as the Tribune
has credit for in some quarters, cannot
perceive that it-is forcing the very result
which it deprecates. Its course toward
McClellan is certain to create for him a
party—to rally in his defence and Bub
port thousands and tens of thousands
whose political sympathies would lead
them in quite another direction, bat who
will not consent to see personal charac
ter and the public welfare thus sacrificed t o
partizan ambition."
- Editor.;
"If the Tribune must open the Presi
dential campaign of 15134 now, let it turn
its attention in that direction. But it is ve:
ry ba'd patriotism, as well as very bad pol
icy, to sacrifice the 'emcees: of our armies and
the honor of miring to political schemes
and party apprehension:o
Orme: $.4.,..4pr_ Vie Vliickahominy bat
tles, the Times said :
" We give in another part of this morn
ing's Times, a very full and clear account
of the brilliant engagement in front of
Richmond, of. Saturday and Sunday last.
I cannot -fail tb be read with the deepest
ihteirem...t Our reporter was on the spot,
and describes what he saw."
" Tkie , ,aftair was a signal and brilliant
success, and gavea.very striking and con
clusive demonstration .of the courage and
spirit of oar troops, and of the discipline
which, has prepared them for the work
that is still before them. Every step
whick:hetakes vindicates the generalship
of McClellan, and, establishes the . safety
and the wisdom of the course he has pur
sued..".
July 10th, the Times said
" We beg the President, if we are to
have a n'eivl3ecretary of War, to give us a
soldier-;-oin who knows what war is and
how it is to be tarried on. We shall then
have some guarantel for intelligence and
practical cflicieney m this, which is just
noir the Most responsible department of
the public service. If Mr. Stanton is to
be removed, the county will be reassured,
and the public interetit krfttly promoted,
by making General McClellan his succes
sor. Even those who cavil at his leader
ship in the field, do not question his mas
tery of the art of war."
Jmy 10th, referring to Senator Chand
ler's assault upon McClellan, the Times
said :
"Suppose, on the other hand, General
McClellan should be shown to have made
mistakes ; does Mr. Chandler propose to
depose him ? How will he bring about
that result,---and what officer will'he put
in his place ? Does he knuw of any offi
cer who has not made mistakes during
this war ? Or has he some patent mode
of securing Generals against the possibili
ty of error ? Does he know of any officer
who can fight 200,000 men with 100,000?
Or can he.- name another who could save
an army from destruction when menaced
in front, flank and rear, as McClellan's
was ten days ago ?"
(The Times had shown that McClellan
had less than too,two men, while the reb
els had double that number.)
; But the jealousy of the radicals went to
the extent of FATAL, TREAIkoNABLE INTER
FERENCE. For prnof of this, we quote
from a letter written by Mr. Raymond
himself, from near Richmond :
'" I have spot now two days in explo
ring the entire front of onryosition.
There are some who think that Gen.
McClellan, on first arriving here, might
have carried Yorktown by a sudden dash,
and saved the delay, cost and labor of a
regular siege. If he bad been allowed to
carry out his original plan he would have
turned rorktoton and been in Richmond
now. But when be was suddenly deprived
of the very men he had relied on to ac
complish this, he had no choice but to
: change his plan. He then was compelled
to take Yorktown by a direct advance,
and that advanee was a work of the nt
:most difficulty. If Gen., McClellan had
McDowell's corps to co-operate with him,
he could cut ofi their retreat, and compel
the surrender of the whole rebel force."
Lincoln, at the dictation of politialins,
kept McDowell, with 40,000 troops, idle;
and so Richmond was not taken. After
wards, Burnside, Rooker, Meade, &o.
eltinOtered oitt 100 r men In fruitless
ilforts.• Grant has io t Another 100,000
in the last five month", in the same direc

Who Ott - the Soldiers to Vote f
The Lincoln organs falsely -Ind—persis
tently declare that their party only helped
give the soldiers a vote when out of the
Stine. A brief history of the matter will
expose their oft-told falsehood.
In 1E361 the Soldier vote gave the Dem
ocrats the majority, and the Republicans
(we refer especially to Philadelphia eity,)
contested the law and obtained several fat
offices by so doing. One ? Judge who was
a Demount, protejunied thelaw constitu
tional; but the other Judges who heard
this question..argued, decided the old law
unconstitutional—the Republican judges
all so deciding; and they ate doubtless
IlShto. Fur if wruug, why don't tts pres
ent Republican .majority of the Supreme
Court reverse the decision P
After the Democrats had lost ;several
good offices by the law proving unconsti
tutional, a Democratic Legislature suet at
Harrisburg, and after electing Buckalew
U. S. Senator, over Cameron the Lincoln
candidate, adopted an amendment to the
Constitution allowing soldiers to vote—
yet Simon Cameron in a recent addresses
chairman of his party ommittee, utters
so palpable and reckless a falsehood as to
aarthat the measure was opposed by the
Democratic party ! Does this corrupt old
villain—both parties have shown him to be
one—think people have forgotten these
truths : That the Democratic legislature
which could not be bought with his offers
of money, electe&Buckalew and adopted
the ,Soldier-voting ttlendment
The Democrats, Awith we believe two
exceptions, and one a•soldier) in the, last
legislature again voted for theamendment.
On the popular vote, but a, light scat
tering vote was cast against it, without
reference to party, but , on the ground we
presume that former frauds, arrests. and
dismissals of soldiers for voting as they
pleased, rem:hied a fair vote inNhe,artny
impossible. As the , Democrats of . the
State number nearly aoo,ooo'hcitne voters,
it is proof that the party did not oppose
the laiv, for had they done so, it would
have been defeated by at least a hundred
thousand majority. Luzerne, and other
heavily Democratic counties, Agent for the
law, as did her members.
In the State of N. York, a Democratic
Governor first recoirinien'ffed; urged, and
approved such an amendment and accom
panying act. His veto at either of three
stages would have defeated them.
In several of the abolition States the
soldiers are not allowed to vote ; and the
Republicans only are sent home to vote.
So in Vermont., Maine and others.
Pr'The Montrose shoddy organ has a
very silly lie about Vallandigham and Jeff
Davi3 writing the Chicago platform. As
foolish as that statement is, it is no worse
than others in that sheet. We know Mr.
Vallandigham neither note nor approved
the platform, and was earnestly opposed
to the candidate nominated. Only the in
tense enthusiasm for McClellan caused
him to acquiesce ; but he declined then,
and since, to make a speech for the tick
et. None but a liar would say, and none
but a fool will beLieve that Davis or any
of his friends ever saw the platform until
the abolitionists, ac. , saw it in print.
nr 'The shoddies oppose peace on the
basis of the Union, because they say Jeff
Davis does McCr.p.u.sx intends to do
as he and the people desire: Restore the
Union and peace, in spite of Jeff Davis or
Lincoln. Elect him and he will do it.

zgrA Democratic meeting to com
memorate the adoption of the Constitu
tion, was held at Pottsville, Pennsylvania,
on the 17th inst. At about five in the af
ternoon, just as the speaking for the day
had concluded and the meeting was dis
persing, a party .of twenty dismounted
cavalrymen charged upon the crowd with
drawn sabres. After wounding some six
citizens, 'among them a returned volun
teeer who had served for three years, and
fighting for.ablout five minutes, the caval
ry suddenly withdrew.
The men were new recruits raised in
another county, and sent there, and had
never seen a rebel. No excuse or explan
atitm has been given for the attack. Sev
eral women and children were thrown
down and run over in the assault. ,

Abandoning Abe Lincoln.
The Ann Arbor (litifehigan) Journal, in
taking the name of T i .ineoln and put
ting np 3CL'lellan says :
"Public sentiment in fatvor of General
McClellan has been -increasing in force
very rapidly during the last •thirty days.—
A large majority. of the people seem to be
strongly imprelsed with the necessity of
abandoning the abolition policy of Presid
ent Lincoln, of falling back upon the con
stitution as it is, as the only bond of
Unison between the Statimi and of electing
a mans of military experience, wisdom and
regard for the
-constitution ; a man-who is
ardently.- devoted 'to the Union, and is
capable 'of prosecuting the war exiccess
fully and determined to. restore the Union
as it was.
Being well satisfied with the nomina
tion of Gen. McClellan, and with the re
solutions constituting.the platform adopt.
ed by the Democratic National Conven
tion, we shall give 'one support to that
ticket, and have taken from the head of
our columns the names of Abraham Lin
coln andittodrew Johnson, and substituted
in their places the: names of George B.
M'Clellan and GeorgeH. ,Pendleton.--
We do this io the full and firm belief that
it is impossible to restore the Union and
to establish peace throughout the United
States under 'the • emancipation policy
adopted end persisted in by the present
administration ; and that it is necessary
to change our rulers, with a view to a
change of the policy of the government.,
that those most desirable and important
objects may be attained." •
Douglas on Compromise.
The abolition state Committee, in a re
cent itddiesi,' attempt to show that the
&Hare to compromise and avert secession
and war, is chargeable upon the Demo
cratio party. But it is a matter of esta
blished history that had the party of Mr.
Lincoln agreed to any honorable arrange
ment,the secession leaders never could have
urged the South into the rebellion. Even
the cotton state members stood ready to
accept the Crittenden proposition if the
Republicans would also do so. But the
Republicans would not yield a hair-breadth,
and tlie compromise fell through. On the
3d of January, 1881, Mr. Douglas used
this langeage in the Senate :
" If you of the Republican side are not
willing to accept this nor the proposition
of the Senator from Kentucky, pray tell
ns what you will do. I address the in
quiry to the Republicans alone, for the
reason that in the Committee of Thirteen,
a few days ago, every member from the
South; including those fiein: the cotton I
states - Messrs. Davis and Toombs,) ex
pressed their readiness to accept the pro
position of rey venerable friend from
Kentucky : as a final settlement of the
troversy, if tendered and sustained by the
Republican members. Renee the sole
responsibility of our disagreement, and
- the ohly difficulty in the way of an ami
cable adjustment, is with the Republican
party."
Again, on the 2d of March, Mr. Douglas
said :
• " I can confirm the senator's declara
tion that Senator Davis himself, when on
the Committee of Thirteen, was ready at
all times to compromise on the Crittenden
proposition. I will go further, and say
that Mr. Toombs was also i ready to'do so."
It is clear, therefore, that the Republi
can party stands chargeable with all the
consequences from which the Pennsylvania
Republican address tries to clear them,
of defeating the Crittenden proposition.
