Violence and ,Frand
A little more than a year` ago, the leading
spirits of the Democratic organization who
have their headquarters in New York, organ
ized a stupendous local insurrection, on the
success of which they hoped to rear a power
which would be strong enough to intimidate
the national authorities and bring . them to
terms of peace with the traitors in arms.
Gov. Seymour, Ben. Wood, Augustus Bel
mont, Fernando Wood, the Journal of Com
merce and such like influences were the insti
gators of these riots. After having deluged
the streets of New York in blood, and scat
tered some of its most stately and valuable
public and private edifices in ashes, the Dem
ocratic rioters were quelled, a large number
arrested, of which the greater portion were
tried and convicted and are now serving terms
in the Penitentiary of that State. The result
of that free fight taught the Democratic lead
ers that violence in an attempt to aid their
friends in the south, would not win. Hence,
the very same men who were at the head of
the riots in New York, to defeat the Govern
ment, are now in the lead of the frauds which
bane just been exposed in the army, to cheat
the soldiers who are emulous to support the

bullets. (4,----.eelmour, Augustus Belmont,
Fernando Wood and the World are the men
and the newspaper which arranged this stu
pendous plan to cheat the soldier. This re
duces the Democratic party and its leaders,
from violence to fraud. Failing as rioters,
assassins and incendiaries, they attempt a
gigantic scheme of forgery to carry their end.
Like the rebels themselves, according to the
assertion of the immortal Grant, the Demo
cratic leaders have actually been detected in
the act of robbing the grave to sustain their
cause, by forging the
. names of dead soldiers
to proxy votes. Never was any party more
desperate or more disgraced.
Ai s 11)141,1:Ant Vaci
By voting for the candidates who propose
to yield even in the slightest degree to the
Insurgents, we surrender the American prin
ciple and seal the fate of our liberties, our
peace, our happiness and our future progress.
We abandon that peculiarity of our system
which has been the chief source of our distinc
tion at home and abroad. The glory of the
Great Republic pales, and the superb struc
ture of society, in which the people have
become, for the first time, a power on the
earth, and to which the hopes of struggling
nations turn instinctively for support and
guidance, sinks into the dust. It would be
come the laughing-stock and by-word of man
kind, and even the poor, distracted anarchical
republics of the South, remembering our
boasts, might taunt us with the inexcusable
disgrace and degradation of our downfall,
Why Don't lie Resign:
McClellan hangs on to his commission as
tenaciously as Judge Woodward held on to
his, last year. That is another point on which
his views and those of the Judge agree. The
Judge knew he wouldn't be elected, so he
held on to the bird in the hand ; and McClel
lan, with a like premonition, holds on to his
place in the army with an eagerness that
argurs but little confidence in his chances for
the Presidency.
WHY WE Suorum Won't.— The national ex
istence is threatened by wealthy, powerful,
determined and unscrupulous enemies. They
work steadily, sleeplessly; and we must work
as vigilantly as they. This is the hour of the
nation's extremity, and the imminent peril of
the country must prompt us to firm, decisive,
energetic action.
"IT'S ALL RIGHT."—That is what sanguine
men say. "It is all right!" they flatter them
selves. "Mei 'Mien hasn't a chance; he won't
make a show at all;" and so take it easy.
That is just the way to elect _McClellan. Over
confidence is the great danger that besets us.
It will not be all right until every Union - man
has done his very best to elect Lincoln.
DoN'T az TOO SANatrnm. —We feel the strong
est confidence in our success, but over san
guine people are apt to conclude that, because
they are sure to succeed, there is no need fo
work. Do not let your confidence betray you
into inaction. •
One Tax or Two Taxes
The main point in (;very sneaking, canting
opponent of Vie Government, while he is mis
representing its purposes and slandering its
defenders, is the charge that the people are
now, and will be in the future, heavily taxed,
taxed to a degree which will amount to a bur
den, "as long as the war on the South is con
tinued." The cry of taxation is made to stop
the war. The idea is then thrown out, that
the Government--the party which is bravely
fighting on the defensive--the party which is
struggling against bad men to maintain - a good
cause—that this party should stop hostili
ties, and ask for terms of peace. In this way
the Democratic leaders insist the taxation of
the people will be reduced, and in this way,
the same men, declare they will put an end to:
the war if they are placed in possession of
the authorities of Government. Now, suppose,
Abraham Lincoln should ask Jefferson Davis
for terms of peace? Or rather let us put the
case in its true light, by supposing that George
B. McClellan were the President of the United
States, and he should ask Jefferson Davis for
a cessation of hostilities and terms of peace?
First, Davis would require a recognition of the
Southern Confederacy, which would embrace
the return of all the conquered territory now
in the possession of the Federal armies.
Second, Jeff. Davis would insist that every
dollar of Southern indebtedness should be
added to the debt of the Federal Government;
that the pensions of every Southern traitor
should be provided for by the people of the
free and loyal States, and that for years to
come, the white laboring"men, the mechanics
and farmers of the North, should pay tribute
to the slaveholding arristocracies of the South,
in acknowledgment of having been conquered
and subdued. Such results could not fail to
follow a cessation of hostilities and the terms
of pace that would grow out of stopping the
war by the people of the North before the au
thority of the Government has been fully vindi
cated. IN THAT EVENT, INSTEAD OF PAYING 07%.TE
190,787
176,698
14,089
TAX, WE WOULD BE COMPELLED TO PAY DOUBLE
TAXATION-our own debts and the debts of the
traitors would then be wrenched from the la
bor and the enterprise of the North. Every
man who casts a vote on Tuesday next, will
literally decide whether he shall in the future
pay one or two taxes. This is a question
which the voter will decide for himself. It
will never be submitted to legislation. If
Lincoln is re-elected President a proposition
to pay the debts of the South would be
scouted from the halls of legislation. If Mc-
Clellan should unfortunately be made the
President, the people of the North would
never be consulted, as the tax would be lev
ied by men armed with the slave drivers' whip
and collected at the point of traitor Southern
bayonets. We cannot state this question of
ONE or TWO TAXES any plainer. The poor
man must decide it for himself. As he votes,
so will he be called on to pay his taxes.
Slandering the Soldier by Misrepresent
ing the Results of his Work.
The Age and the New York World, with the
assistance of the echo of journals of less
depreciating the glorious work daily being
achieved by the armies in the field, in the
hope that the misrepresentation will produce
results beneficial to the cause Of McClellan.
Vie Age is daily filled with the foulest. lies
concerning the movements of Sheridan and
his gallant followers, while the TFortil occu,
pies itself with columns of falsehoods seeking
to show that Grant is a failure and Sherman
a madman. All this is intended to operate
abroad as well as at home. If the Age and
the World can produce the belief that cur
armies are not successful, the result will un
doubtedly be the depreciation of the national
credit, to be followed by national bankruptcy
and ruin. In this way McClellan can only be,
eleeted President. Do the voters of Penn
sylvania need any plainer proof of the affinity
of McClellan's friends with those of Jeff
Davis? The disaster which strengthens the
cause of the one benefits that of the other.
Thus, if Davis is successful in inducing Lee
to whip Grant, Lee's success is calculated to
ensure McClellan's victory at the polls--while
McClellan's election to the Presidency will be
tantamount to the recognition of the Southern
Confederacy, and that would amount at once to
the perpetuation of American disunion. The
whole game is thus started by slandering the
soldiers. And thus, whenever a copperhead
orator or organ engages in an effort to de
preciate the victories of our armies, set it
down as one of the understood games be
tween the rebs and the cops for mutual
benefit. So that the man who suffers him
self to be controlled by such influences, yields
directly to the persuasions of traitors to do a
fatal injury to his country:
Bullets Sustained by Ballots
It has been told on the stump that, on the
13th of October, 1863, soon after the battle of
Chickamauga, the commissioners to receive
the votes of the Buckeye warriors performed
their duty through hospitals in which five
thousand soldiers lay with limbs shot off, and
wounds and scars all over them—that all
stretched out their hands for ballots as they
were distributed—and that with faces pale,
but eyes bright and determined, some who,
before sundown, were carried out on stretch
ers to soldiers' graves, cast their votes, and
fired one more shot into the rebellion before
they died. These facts so exasperated the
Copperhead leaders of the North, that
they at once set about concocting a plan to
cheat all such soldiers. Governor Seymour
and Fernando Wood, the leading spirits of
the McOlellitn faction, had forged the names
of tens of thousands of living as well as dead
soldiers, to counteract the patriotism of,the
people at home, and misdirect the patri
otism of the people in the army. This is the
friendship of the Democratic leaders for the
soldier. They first attempted to deprive him
of his just rights and franchises as a citizen,
and when these are guaranteed him.by [the
loyal men of the land, the next struggle:of
the Democratic leaders is to cheat thcsiatii—:

NAME TO DESTROY THE HERITAGE OF
A FREE COUNTRY HE LEFT FOR HD
CHILDREN ! Shame! where is thy blush
GEN- SEEMIAN has written a letter to John
C. liamilt6n, of New York, denying a repel
that he had said that ninety-nine hundredth
of his soldiers will vote for Al'Clellan, and hi)
adds :
"I am as ignorant of the political bias
the men of this army as you are, at a distance
of a thousand miles, and I would as soon
think of tampering with a soldier's religion
as with his preference for men. I have nut
and shall not attempt to inflimce a Vote in the
coming struggle. I believe Mr. Lincoln has
done the best he could:"
The course of Gen. Sherman is soldierly
and honorable. And his simple but signifi
cant approval of Mr. Lincoln is worth col
umns of elaborate partisan advocacy. When
a gallant soldier like Sherman says of the
President, "I believe Mr. Lincoln has done
the best he could," it means something. The
country thinks so too, and means that he
shall do the best he can for four years longer.
THE CHICAGO CONVENTION pledged itself and
its candidates to "immediate efforts" for an
armistice, and Gen. M'Clellan, in his letter
of acceptance, takes no exception to such
pledge. How can :war men, whether Demo
crats or others, sustain a party occupying
such a position? Is it safe to do so on the
single ground of Gen. M'Clellan's letter.
JUST think of it !—a political party appeal
ing, in behalf of its candidates and its princi
ples, to the cowardice of the American pe , ple !
What an unendurable insult to the bravest
race on this earth—what fatuity in politics,
inconceivable if it had not actually happened,
incredible if it was not actually transpiring!
"Dar fresh victories crown our arms, and
the peace party, if there be such at the north,
can elect its candidate." Such are the words
of Jeff. Davis to the rebels in his last speech.
"Hurrah for 3.l.'Clellan!" Such was the cry
from Hood's soldiers in the late attack upon
Resaca.
SOME of the Democratic voters hesitate
about voting Er Mr. Pendleton, whose record
is repugnant to their feelings. But there is
no way in which they can escape voting for
him, except by bolting the whole ticket. A
vote for M'Clellan is a vote for Pendleton.
A VOTE for Democracy is a vote forrepudia
lion. Citizens, look at your greenback and
think of this before you cast your ballot.

Steamer Captured by the Rebels
Her Cargo Valued at $1,00,000
,CArao, Oct. 1.
A party of 44 rebel prisoners, including a
number of officers, arrived from Chicago.
The steamer captured and burned by the
rebels at Fort Herman, on the Tennessee
river, on Saturday, was the Alazeppa, a new
steamer on her first trip, with a cargo owned
by R. C. Powell, of Cincinnati. The steamer
was valued at $40,000. Her cargo consisted
of Government stores valued at 200,000, with
considerable other freight. Alost of the cloth
ing and blankets were taken to Fort Herman
befori:i the boat was burned.
The fire from the gunboat prevented the
rebels from removing all the forage and stores
from the river bank. It was shelled by the
gunboat for two hours eliciting no reply, when
her ammunition becoming exhausted the gun
boat withdrew, and sent a party ashore, and
burned the forage left by the rebels on the
bank of the Mezeppa river.
The rebel force belonging to Buford's com
mand, estimated at 400 strong, had taken pos
session of Fort Herman the night previous.
They masked their battery of three guns, 12
and 18 pounders, on the bank, completely com
manding the river in each direction.
- The officers and crew of the Mazeppa es
caped to Pine Bluff, except Captain Pette.
The steamer Ann, coming down the river
four hours after the capture of the Mazeppa,
was fired on by a masked battery three miles
above Fort Herman, but passed with slight
damage. On passing the fort she was again
fired on with shot and shell, completely rid
dling her upper works, and several shells pen
etrated her hull, but she passed out of range
and was taken in tow by the gunboat.

The Late Surprise of Our Pickets.
Not a Single Musket Captured by
HEADQVARTER% ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, I
Nov. 1, 1864. j
The surprise and capture of a part of our
picket line, one Monday night, occurred in
front of Fort Davis.
The men taken belonged to the 69th and
111th New York. They were for the greater
part new men, and somewhat ignorant of their
duties, and hence were not as watchful as the
older troops who have been on duty at this
part of the line.
This is the same place where our men some
time ago played the rebels a similar trick, and
the utmost vigilance has ever since been exer
cised on both sides to prevent a repetition of
the occurrence, but when the late move com
menced every man in the ranks left behind
had to take his turn on picket, and some of
these Then it is said had never fired a gun.
It seems the rebels did not carry off a single
musket belonging to onr soldiers, as they
were all found and brought in by General
Pierce's brigade, which went out to re-establish
the line.
The only way to account for this is that
their force was too small to carry so many
extra arms, and that they did not have time to
return for them.
Although the firing was kept up by both
sides of the line, no casualties are reported.
Last night it was kept up during most of the
night, but the line remains the same as it was
previous to the affair. All is quiet this morn
ing.
We are having Indian summer here. The
mornings and evenings are cold enough to
render fire very agreeable, while the days are
just warm enough to make out-door life the
most pleasant imaginable.

Attack ou Our Batteries
A dispatch to the Mayor of this city, from
Castine, gives the particulars of the attack on
the battery at that town: On Monday, at night,
a small body of men approached from the rear,
and when challenged immediately fired upon
the sentinel, who returned the fire. Sergeant
Ramsdell was shot at as he came out of his
quarts, afro four ban. I,,,agea within two
feet of him. The garrison was promptly 'mu
stered, and pursued the raiders about half a
mile, firing upon them, when they took a boat
and escaped.
Their object, it is supposed, was to capture
a United States Cutter lying in the harbor.
This city has been put into a state of de
