A vast deal about-the enormous expenditures
and jromendous debt contracted by the Admin
istration of President Lincoln. It is the chief,
stock in trade of the'Yallandighammers.
But Mr. Lincoln found all the Cotton States
in open rebellion against the Constitution and
the laws,.when he took his seat. The Southern
.Confederacy was fully organized, with Jeffer
son Davis as Us President, with the Montgom
ery Constitution for its law, with its Congress,
and all that pertains to, organized governments,
weeks before Mr. Buchanan vacated the White
House. This, rebellion was organizeiunder
the auspices of James Buchanan’s Administra
tion, then. No intelligent man denies it.
Suppose you were to succeed John Smith as
the proprietor of a large and complicated busi
ness. "Smith, being incompetent to manage it,
had suffered the business to become entangled,
■sd that half a dozen expensive lawsuits are in
evitable. You take the business subject to all
liens and litigation •. and you defend to the ex
treme of jour ability.
Wellj it is expensive business, this matter of
defence in law. Bat you must defend, or the
business mast be abandoned. You borrow cash
and sb Ibvolve the"stockholders. - But it is de
fence or ruin ; and you defend, like a true bu-
einees man
Now comes John Smith, by whose neglect,
incompetence, and connivance all this litigation
and consequent expense became necessary.
’And John Smith begins to growl about the
extraordinary expenditures of your adminis
tration. He goes to the stockholders and tries
to weaken their confidence in your business In
tegrity. 11 Only see his extravagance!” says
the sneak “He is ruining you 1" whines the
traitor. •' You'll never have good times, and
get out of the law until you reinstate.me, John
Smitll, as your chief manager.”
Now, say if yon can discover any likeness
to.the dontemptible sneak, John Smith, in the
course of ths Vallandighammers f
And here let us sue for pardon from each
and "every John Smith in Christendom, for us
ing his name to point the moral of this homely
hypothesis. The odium will fall on so many
-shoulders that none will- suffer greatly^
Sir Grumbler 1 If the expenses of the war
trouble yon, just suggest to youj candidate, Q.
B. McClellan, that common decency requires
him to resign bis commission as Major Qcner
al,"-together with his pay and perquisites, in
amount about $7OOO a year—for doing nothing.
WE HEAR
Much about “military interference with the
elections, by the Lincoln Government.” Are
yon there, Sir Yallandigbnmmer 7 Let us see:
On ihe 29th day of October 1861, Gen. Mc-
Clellan, then commanding our armies, issued
an prder directed to Gen. Bapks, commanding
'him to send detachments of soldiers to"the pla
ces of holding elections in Maryland “ to pro
tect the Union voters, and to gee that no disnn
ionists ore allowed to intimidate them, or in
any way to : interfere with their rights.” He
then goes on further to order Gen. Banks, “ to
“ arrest and bold in confinement, till after the
“ election, all disunionists who are known to
“have returnedfrom Virginia recently, and who
show themselves at the polls." * * * For the
“ purpose of carrying out these instructions,
“ yon are authorized to suspend the writ of
" habeas corpus.” We quote the exact lan
guage af the order, which is of record.
Shall we hear any mote from the Coppers
about the "arbitrary arrests," "military in
terference with elections in loyal Statee,” oto.,
and of " the Lincoln tyranny ”7 Your leader
can be convicted, from hit own order-book, of
instigating arbitrary arrests, of sending armed
men to the polls, and of authorizing the sus
pension of the privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus. What has ‘Mr. Xincoln done more T
Is it any worse for Mr. Lincoln to do these
thingsthan for,McClellan ? If thd first ought
Jo.be defeated for doing these acts, ought the
Utter to bo elected for doing the same acts?
We want some of these Copperhead logicians

OCT. 19. 1864.
While we agree with the Tbibiine that Cop-,
perheadiem was laid out cold and stark on
Tuesday, October 11th, in the three great
States of Pennsylvania. Ohio.and Indiana, we
must still continue to urge vigilance and con
' etant effort until the polls close on the Bth day
rof November, What man dcee not remember
the superstition of his boyhood days,-touching
snakes; how he used to mash the -head of one
in the morning, and say to himself that the
snake would continue to wriggle his tail until
sundown 1 Do we not, every one of us, re
member that?
Well, that -is the case stated : The Union
men of the North mashed the head of the Cop
perysnake on the 11th of October : w.c expect,
it will wriggle .its tail-until the polls close 'on
tbs Bth of November. The snake is only par
tially dead. It will bear watching,'and a tri
fle, just a trifle more hilling. ‘ ' * - T
Reptiles pre very tenacious of life.' So'with
the human'Cdppetysnakd. .Keep your feet on
it. Don’t let it up. ' .
A fact of great significance is mentioned by
almost the entire corps of. Army correspond
ents. It is, that as one opproacbee the front,
where the fighting men -most do congregate,
the advocates of McClellan diminish and .final
ly disappear in a minority of about one-tenth.
At ti e front, very .little talk aboutthe nig
ger war” Is heard ; likewise very little talk of
an armistice. Show us a man who is constant
ly “ ploying up sick,’’ and we will show you
a poisy talker about “ nigger war,” and an ar
dent admirer of Gunboat-Mac. This is,not to
say that there are not faithful soldiers and also
brave, who will vote for McClellan; but it is
to say that on overwhelming majority of the
“ Shirkers’ Reserve’’ will be found among the
.noisiest of his advocates.
The State Gazette having said that no one
ever heard of any northern rebels raising funds
for sick end wounded eoldiers, the Gamden
Press responds:
“That is a mistake. The “Democrats" of
Delaware recently had a pic-nic and devoted
the proceeds to the rebel sick in Fort Delaware.
We note this, not to condemn it, but to show
that the modern Democracy do raise funds for
the “ sick and wounded” on their side."
We can add a little more to that testimony.
There is a paper published in Middletown, N.
called The Signs'of the Times. ,Xt is devo
ted to the interests of the Old School Baptists,
and is decidedly rebel in its sympathies. The
August let No. contained on appeal for contri
butions in behalf of the rebel prisoners at El
mira ; based upon sundry letters from the reb
els there confined. The writers do not com
plain of bad treatment, but fask for certain of
the comforts which Government does not furn
ish. In the next number of-the paper we find
responses to these appeals from- various per
sons, amounting in the aggregate to 336, and
some cents. Among the names of the contrib
utors, we notice the name of one of the two
men who voted against the soldiers in Charles
ton township, last Jkiigostr ’ Ha sent $5.
We do not give the nanje of this contributor
for the reason that it is the act, not the man,
to which attention is directed. Taken in con
nection with his vote against the enfranchise
ment of Pennsylvania soldiers, happening the
same week, the act is significant, as ■ showing
the bent of his sympathies.'
That man will vote for McClellan. Do yon
doubt It ? , 1
When any rebel demagogue tells you that
tbe only way to save the country from bank
ruptcy is to elect McClellan, ask him in what'
condition the Administration 'of James Buch
anan left the national Treasury ; and tell him
that the credit of the Government was-so low
In 1860 that the Administration conld not bor
row five milliJn dollars even at twiLte tin
cent interest.
When any rebel demagogue telle you that
the only way to reduce taxation is to elect Mc-
Clellan, ask him if ha means by that that the
policy of hie Administration, if .elected, would
be REPUDIATION of the public debt?
They do mean that, or they mean nothing.
, The skedaddleia from the draft, and .the de
serters from oar armies, who fled tft Canada as
o refuge from “Lincoln tyranny,” fiad them
selves in a dilemma. The British authorities
hare ordered them to report for duiy 'in the
British ardty, or leave the- Province* If the
deserters come over the line the detectives will
grab them • if they stay in Canada they are in
for a nice term of sebice in Hindpstap. Poor
fellows I deprived of their liberties and .the
privilege of shouting for Little Mao atone fell
blow ! What, sympathizing Copper will start
a subscription for their relief? • •.
After bearing eo much from the Coppery or
ator*, street blowers, and editors, about the ar
my vote for Mao, we conclude that there is a
little something ip it. jhe truth 4s, one con
siderable element of McClellan's strength has
been overlooked by our side. We allude to the
grand army of 15,000 deserters who are in
Canada. Every man of them Is said -to be for
Little Mac. There’s a majority of 15,000 ip a
lump—if they can vote, that is.
When any rebel demagogue tellt you to vote
for McClellan and avoid the draft, tell him that
Gen. McClellan advocated an immediate draft
months before Mr. Lincoln ordered one; and
ask him if be means that the war is to be aban
doned if Mao should he oleclad, or that the
Copperheads will, in that event, consent to vol
unteer, as they have apt Mono, .up to date, in
anything like,their fair proportion h Hamuit
mean something of-that sorter nothing.

Republican Gain of 42 Members
of CONGRESS—S In Pcnn’a, 12
in OHIO, & 5 lu-Indiana l
Republicans ;—We chronicle this week a
series of the most brilliant political victories
for the Union ever won by the American people.
Indiana, the only doubtful State in the West,
gives Gov. Morton, Republican, 20,000 majority
and a gain of 5 Union Congressmen. Ohio
gives 85,000 majority for the Union and a gain
of 12 Union Congressmen. Pennsylvania gives
a email Union majority on the homo vote,
which the army vote will increase to 15,000,
and a gain of 5, probably 6, Congressmen..
Tioga county has well sustained her ancient
reputation for Republican majorities—giving
2,139 majority onThe home vote. The army
vote will swell this majority to 2,500, even ad
mitting that we shall fail in getting more than
one-third of the army vote this time. The ag
gregate vote, compared with that of last year,
is light. The Republicans lose 946 on Curtin’s
vote, and the Coppers lose'2oo on Woodward’s
vote; estimating by the vote on Congress. Our
falling off is about. l-oth, that of our oppo
nents about l-Bth. Our falling off is easily
accounted for in the sending away to the army
of not less than 800 Republican voters since
last December. ' Probably 200 soldiers voted
at home last fall who did not vote here this fall.
Some districts have increased their majori
ties over last fail. Morris, Mansfield, Sullivan,
Deerfield, end Rutland, increase their majori
ties. The Opposition gain in Delmar, 13, in
Knoxville, 6 ; in Lawrenceville, 1; in Ooeola,
2; in Tioga borough, 2 ; in Wellshoro, 4. To
tal ; 23. They lose twenty six in Brookfield
alone 1 It must be remembered that oat fall
ing off is not, in any respect a local gain to the
Opposition. They likewise fall off from their
last year’s vote. Our opponents can draw no
comfort from the result in Tioga.
Stephen F. Wilson is elected by a small
majority on the home’ vote of the District, we
think. The soldiers’ vote will give him a hand
some majority. This result will be hailed with
joy and satisfaction by the loyal men of the
Commonwealth. .
Freemen-*-let ns thank God and take cour
age I Tioga can give Abraham -Lincoln 2,500
majority on the home vote. Pennsylvania will
give him 30.000.
Where nearly all do so well, we dislike to
mention particular districts; but the banner,
so long held by Charleston, remains with old
Charleston still. Delmar must look to her lau
rels, Sullivan is on her track.
Wh. E. Dodge, Esq., has been nominated
for Congresa in the VIIIih New York District.
.No more unselfishly loyal man lives. When,
in the dark days of 1861, the Government was
straggling with unheard of difficulties, Mr.
Bodge oame forward with bis private fortune
and purchased many thousands of dollars val
ue of supplies for hospitals, and would receive
back only dollar for dollar. No shoddy there.
The defeat of Sunset Cox for Congress in
Ohio, will rid the House of a pestilent fellow
after nest session. He is now finishing his ca
reer as a public man, and will do well to ren
der the last act of the broad farce as decent as
may be consistent with his educated notions of
propriety. i
In view of the nondescript character of the
Chicago [nominations, it is said that Jefferson
Davis has decided to send the Siamese twins as
ambassadors to the aristocratic court of Little
Mac and'iPendletoD, Chang beifag for war, and
Eng for peace. If true, how /beautiful! how
appropriate !
A report of a rebel meeting at Tioga came
too late for this number. It will appear next

Maj.Oen. Botler, having ascertained-tbrougb
the.testimony of deserters and others, that the
Rebel authorities bad placed opr negro sol
diers, captured in recent engagements, at hard
labor, on their fortifioationa in our front, by
neglect to furnish, them rations, thereby com
pelling them to sslltheir clothes to the Confed
erate soldiers for - food, has this day .notified
Commissioner Quid, by Sag of truce, that he
shall place a . number of Rebel prisoners at
work in Dutch Gap.iand under fire, in retalia
tion therefor. ■ i ■
- Eighty-seven-men were, ordered; from City
Point this evening, nnd will be set at work as
above stated, unless a satisfactory answer shall
be received,from the-Rebel -Commissioner by.
eleven o’clock, to-morrow. -It is understood
that an additional nuinter of Rebel prisoners
will he ordered here for the same destination

Gen' Naolee-s Letter.— The National Re
publican sajs; _Tlie Copperhead press of the
country are giving-circulation to a letter ad
dressed by Gen. Nagles to Hon, William D.
Kelley, of Philadelphia, in which the author,
speaking Of Gen. McClellan, makes the follow
ing statement: --
“ So far as the objections to his military
qualifications are concerned I have only to re
mind you that, within the lost sixty days a
confidential friend of the President was sent
to offer him one of the most important com
mands of the army. But this proposition was
coupled with the mos* dishonorable condition—
that he should decline to be a candidate for
tho next Presidency. Gen. McClellan, rest rai
ned his indignation, and replied to the bearer
of the message. *Go back to W ashington and
say to the President, for me, that whan I re
ceive pay official written orders, he shall have
my answer,”
We are authorized to say that the President
has no recollection of sending any message or
messenger to Gen. McClellan, or of receiving
any from him, at any time’ since he was re
lieved .from the command of the army of the
Potomac, and certainly, none such as mentioned
in the published letter of General Noglee.—
If the President sent a message in writing,
the writing can* be produced; if a messenger,
be cun be named. Let it be done if it can.
We have heard it rumored that General Mc-
Clellan was about to write a letter,,to be re
served till one day before the election, in which
be intended]" to express surprise that any Dem
ocrat should find fault with his letter accepting
the Chicago nomination I” The New York Daily
News is anxious upon this point.
The New York Times has the following on
the Pennsylvania election which is a resume of
the latest returns:
