EXAMINE YOUR TICKETS When a bunter wants to make a sure shot, he first examines the priming of his gun, before he pulls the trigger. So let every Democratic voter first examine his ticket before he presents it at the ballot-box. The opposition will donbtless resort to their usual trick of attempting to im pose on unsuspecting Democrats by qtorioos ticket*. In this county, particularly, knowing they have no hope of electing a single man on their County Ticket, they will confine all their efforts to making votes for Conrnt, and will flood the county pith Democratic Tickets having CURTIN'S name printed on them in place of WooDwann's.

DEMOCRATS, BEWARE! Democrats, beware of false stories just on the eve of election day. The abolitiohisto, feeling that their cause is hopeless, are betaking them selves to the usual refuge of desperate men, and circulating falsehoods with the most utter reck lessness. As the election day approaches, they will grow more reckless, and the best thing for Democrats to do, is to turn a deaf ear to all their opponents say. Among other stories with which they strive to canoed their sinking hopes, is one that prominent Democruts arc deserting Woou• WARD and coming over to CITRTIX. They have had the shamefacedness to say that the vener able Judge Wtmows, of Pittsburgh, and Ex. Vice President DALLAS, of Philadelphis, were of this number of deserters. We assure you, Democrats, there ie not one word of truth in this story. Judge Wiroznis was President of the great De mocratic Mass Meeting at Pittsburgh, last Wed nesday, and Mr. DALLAS remains, what he has been his life long, an unwavering Democrat. Both will support Woonwann and Lamm: with all their strength. KEEP COOL DEMOCRATS, SEEP COOL on ELECTION DAY. The canvass has been an exciting one; you have been abused, browbeaten and vilified RS freemen never were before, and efforts will doubtless be made by the dependents of arbitrary power, to provoke you to controversy and violence, in order that they may have s pretext for using military force to prevent a free and fair election. Be on your guard. have no words with any one, but quietly exercise the right, that. belongs to you,. and perform the duty that rests upon you. VOTE YOURSELF, AND THEN SEE THAT EyERY DEMOCRATIC VOTER IN YOUR DISTRICT GOES TO THE POLLS. EVERY VOTE FOR WOODWARD, On Tuesday next, is a vote for the CONSTI TUTIONAL RIGHTS OF WHITE 1 3N, for CIVIL LIBERTY, for an HONEST AMIN'S TRILTION OF THE GOVERNMENT, and for the RESTORATION OF THE UNIOIv, us the Patri ots of the Revolution made it. Jons Ronntim—ln a speech at Minding, on Saturday evening last, the lion. James Pol— lock, Director of the D. S. Mint, asserted that Hon. John Robbins, of this city, had resolved to vote for Governor Curtin, and to use his influ ence with the six hundred men in hie employ to induce them to do likewise. Two errors in this Statement deserve notice. First, Mr. Robbins will vote for Judge Woodward. Secondly, He has not been in business for some years, and has no six hundred men in hia employ to influence for or against Governor Curtin. These facts must have been—or ought to have been—per fectly well known to the Hon. James, and yet, the next afternoon he, allreesed a Sunday School meeting. A nice member of the V. M. C. A. is the Honorable A/c, Oct. 7. Mr' AM/ALUM LINCOLN receives twat?, five thousand dollars a year, salary, no President of the United States. Some time ago it was an nounced in the Abolition journals that ho bad not drawn his pay for the last year, but intended to let it roman, for the present, in the treasury. The object of this financial scheme, no doubt, is to - wait until he can draw it in gold. The Abo litionists are now urging the propriety of raisiny his salary. The expenses of the Government are nearly two millions of dollars per day, and yet the eMellitical gentlemen at Washington are anxious to increase that sum and add more taxation to the heavy burthens of the prople. A TRUTII THAT Eva FREEMAN SHOULD PON DER :—ile who would make use of force , to pre vent freedom of election is a traitor to all the principles of civil liberty. To accomplish a temporary object he would invoke a power which would destroy not only the liberties of his fel low-citizens, but eventually his own. U' COL. Niue, of the 174th Regiments P. M., is making speeches in favor of Woonwann and the Democratic ticket. $5OO FINE !

A new feature of Administration malignity to wards General MCCLELLAN has just been made known. Some time since, it appears, a subscrip tion was started among the soldiers of the Army of the Potomac, for the purchase of some suita ble testimonial to General 'MeVLeta.An. The proposal met with uuexpeeted approbation, and corps and division commanders, without excep tion, favored the projcot, many of them heading the lists with munificent sums. All contribu tions were to be voluntary, and it was found ne cessary to limit the amount given by privates, lest more money Should be raised than could be properly disposed of. Twelve thousand dollars were raised in a single corps. Every member of Gen. Means's staff, except one, contributed, the General himself setting the example; when, all of a sudden, an order was received from Wash ington to diecontinue the collection and refund the money. The mstortishmcnt of the officers and men was only equaled by their chagrin, nearly every officer of note in the army having been Previously permitted toreceive testimonials. The troops were at a loss to account for this unex peeled proceeding, until the malignity which promptedne measure was betrayed in the treat ment of officers who interested themselves in the movement. Colonel DAVIN, Assistant Inspector General on the staff of General Metne, a class mate and intimate friend of General MCCLELLAN, who took the subscription list around among the officers at headquarters, has been reduced to the rank of Major, and ordered to Santa Fe. Other officers are under the ban, while the troops, mor tified and indignant, pocket their contributions and watt for a more convenient season. That season will surely come. Paltry persecution like this will recoil upon the heads of the dos tards who are guilty of it ; and the American people themselves wi:l do justice to McCiAntads, in spite of the envious malice with which the in capables and imbeciles now at the head of tafairs seek to crush him. MORE PROSCRIPTION We lenin that on Saturday last Dr. John 11. B. McClellan was removed from the position be held at the Chestnut Hill Hospital, the duties of which he diceharged for some lime past with great ability and entire satisfaction. This act was the work of CURTIN'S friends in this city.— The cause of it was simply because he is the brother of Gnottou B. ikloaaLLAN. On Thursday last they went in company to the hospital, and the soldiers manifested the most intense enthusiasm and delight at once more seeing their old and much loved commander. No public man has ever met with such vile persecution as General MCCLELLAN' has received from CURTIN and his followers, and now they have increased the measure of their tifamy by extending their pecan tuition to his brother. Let the soldiers who fought with MCCLELLAN, and shared with him the dan• gers of the battle field, remember ANDuraw CI. Cturrix when they reach the polls on election day !—Plila. Age.
