FRIDAY EVENING, NOV - EIGER 18, 1864
Abolition—Subjugation.
it is of course admitted on all sides, that
what was left of the Democratic party to
make a contest in the late Presidential election
was utterly demolished by the crushing force
of the overwhelming defeat which it met at
the hands of the Union men of - the country.
Admitting this to be the fact, we do not de•
sire it to be understood, when we refer to the
dead oareasa of "Democracy," that we have
any intention of raising a "stink." Our refer-
enee to the men who once animated that or-
ganization with their hate, is only made to
show that the same leaders are as much bent
od niischief as they were when they had every
reason to believe that victory would perch
upon their banners and that they would be
invested with the control of the Government.
By the aid of the old Democratic leaders and
the journals which represented and advocated
their cause, the spirit of spite which after
wards became the animating feeling of the
people of the South in all their relations
to the people of the North, was created and
fostered in the odium elicited on the subject
of abolitionism. Long years ago, when abo-
litionism was an impracticable idea, and when
its agitation was confined to a few honest
but inexperienced and weak men, the Dem
ocratic leaders took advantage of the fact, to
intensify and control the political preferences
of the Southern people. Thu mischief of the
present rebellion may be correctly accounted
as the result of the misrepresentation, en
tirely, of the Democratic press in reference
to "abolitionism." Aiming constantly at po
litical power and plunder, the Democratic
leaders could only retain themselves in place
by these distortions of public feeling in one
section while they completely misrepresented
the real facts of public sentiment in another.
And as we have already written, the result
was rebellion. The Southern people never
would have revolted, had the Democratic
leaders of the North abstained from their
foul abuse of the objects of every political
party but that controlled by themselves, in
reference to slavery. And now that the rebel
lion has so fearfully desolated the whole land,
and even when the great mass of the loyal
American people have repudiated these lead
ers, they still seem to be bent on mischief by a
desperate and almost insane effort to induce
the men in rebellion to believe that the object
of the National Administration is solely and
only to subjugate and then 'EXTERMINATE the
people of the South. Like the original cry
of abolition, that of extermination is made to
intensify Southern hatred of the people of the
free States. It is utterly without justification
or support. On the contrary, the great masses
of the people of the free States—or to speak
more plainly, every man who voted for the re
election of Abraham Lincoln, is really and
honestly in favor of living in peace with the
people of the South, on terms of perfect
equality. The idea of putting down the
slave-holders' rebellion, does not involve any
intention or thought of exterminating the
people of the South. True it is, that the ex
termination of the leading conspirators would
be a blessing to the slave States, but even these,
under the law, could hope for merciful consid
eration if they immediately returned to their
allegiance and gave unmistakable evidence of
' an honest purpose to repair the wrongs they
had inflicted upon their country. All that is
wanted—nay, all that is demanded, is the full
recognition of the national authority, the
laying down of the arms of those in rebellion,
and the war will end. The Government did
not commence the strife. The war was the
result of the hot haste and vindictiveness of
the leading conspirators. They complained
of no wrong but what could have been righted
without an appeal to arms, bat they rushed
Into battle insanely calculating that they
could intimidate and then conquer the Gov
ernment which they were bound by every sa
cred tie to obey and uphold. Indeed, the war
was entirely the result of the lies of of North
ern Democrats, combined with the low hatreds
of Southern. slave-masters. These two classes
now seek to prolong the contest, as they first
provoked it, by misleading the men who have
We
suffered all the hardships.
do not believe
they will succeed. By this time the masses
of the southern people must fairly understand
that the Government means to have peace and
loyalty at all hazards. Peace could be restored
to-morrow, if the people of the slave States
gave up the fight. Peace is at the command
of every State now in rebellion. All that is
requisite. is that the people of the South stop
fighting, and peace will come. They have it
in their own power. But if the Southern
masses continue to be led by the desperadoes
who have so long cursed the earth, or allow
themselves to be duped by Northern politi
cians, who have no longer any power except
for mischief, peace will never come to the South,
unless it be in the shape of extermination.
The people of the South inaugurated the yar
by their own act. They must, in like man
ner, stop the conflict. All that loyal men fight
for is peace. If subjugation attends the strug
gle for that result, the eiders and abettors of
Southern rebellion, and not the Government,
will be to blame.

rious influences that contributed largely to it,
and among ..tliers "the church.! They say
"the church" was against them. Which .
church? The Catholic church was for M.'Clel
lan without question. Why, then, have they
not the manliness to say what they mean—
that the influence of the Protestant church
was against them? What is known in the
Democratic vernacular as "the church," was
body and soul for their candidate.

A Letter from JudgeWoodward—A False
Prophet.
The Democratic citizens of Brooklyn as
sembled in large numbers, on Tuesday night,
to hear, cheer, and growl over the election
returns. Their entertainment was varied with
speeches and letters from politicians. Among
the letters iS one from Judge Woodward, of
this State, written two days before the elec
tion. The pith of it is contained in. the fol
lowing extract, being quite a remarkable
prophecy, that—didn't coma to pass:
In all my intercourse with citizens, in every
part of this State, I 'have inproved every op
portunity to urge the election of Dl'Clellan and
Pendleton as the last hope and refuge of our
suffering country,. The best I could do was
to point them to their own conscious exist
ence under former Administrations in con
trast with the present; to a united,
.prosper
ous country in contrast with the bloody dis
cord that rends and ruins us now. lam hap
py to believe that the popular mind has
grasped the great truth that the men who
have brought desolation upon us must be
turned nut of public trust, and that Tuesday
next will record the popular judgment against
the Administration. The people of Pennsyl
vania, by at least twenty-five thousand majority,
are for the Democratic ticket ! ! We mean to
do what we can to have a fair ballot, and, if
we are not cheated out of it in too many local
ities, the electoral vote of this State Will as cer
tainly be cast for lir Claim and Pendleton as that
Tuesday's sun shall rise and set ! !" ,
A Fair Election.
The Greensburg herald of the 16th instant,
thus illustrates the manner in which the
Democratic election officers in that borough
labored. for a "fair election." The same im
partial fairness characterized the conduct of
the same men all over the country:
Two members of the Provost Guard in this
place—both belonging to the Invalid Corps—
the one an Irishman and the other a German
—both single men having served over two
years in the Army and both naturalized a few
weeks since, taking out their papers in Pitts
burg—both having been assessed and having
paid taxes in this Borough, presented them
selves at the polls last Tuesday. It was
claimed and not denied that neither had any
residence any other place in the United
States, and yet the Irishman was allowed to
vote, and the German was refused that privi
lege. Now do any of our readers want to
know why the "one was taken and the other
left ?" Answer. The Irishman was going to
vote for M'Clellan, and the German was going
to vote for Lincoln. That was the reason and
the only reason.
Going in Person
The following significant letter was written
by Gen. Sherman, to the President of the
Western Sanitary Commission, in acknowl
edgment of the receipt of certain sanitary
stores for our prisoners now confined at Au
derSonville :
GA.YLESVILLE, ALA., Oct. 25, 1864.
James E. Yeatman, President, &e.:
DEAB Six-I thank you for the prompt ful
fillment of the request to send certain articles
for our prisoners at Andersonville. Things
have changed since, and I may have to go in
person to deliver these articles to the prisoners.
In the meantime I will hold them for that
purpose. I can make no use of money for
their benefit, and beg you to use it in your
noble charity. With respect, yours, eto.
WM. T. SHERMAN.
KANSAS ELECTION.—We learn from the St.
Louis Union that there were two 'Union State
tickets run in Kansas at the late election, one
called the Lane ticket, the other the Anti-
Lane ticket. The returns thus far received
show that the Lane ticket has been beaten by
a large majority. Leavenworth county gives
800 majority against it. Atchison gives a ma
jority of 250 against it. S. 0. Fletcher (Anti-
Lane) has probably been elected Governor;
General A. L. Lee (Anti-Lane) to Congress;
John J. Ingalls (Anti-Lane) Lieutenant-Gov
ernor; W. B. Saunders (Anti-Lane) Secretary
of State; John B. M'Clure (Anti-Lane) State
Treasurpr; Asa Hairgrove (Anti-Lane) State
Auditor; and all the other candidates on the
same ticket are also supposed to be elected.
There was but one ticket of Presidential elect
ors, and both parties united on it.
BRIG. GEN. ABNER C. HARDING, formerly
a member of the bar of New Bloomfield, Perry
county, and who made such a stout defence
of Port Donelson in Tennessee, where he had
command, has just been elected to Congress
in the 4th District of Illinois. He is worthy
of the promotion. He lives in a Democratic
district, and carried it by a large majority.
DISGUSTED WITH Potarics—The New York
Journal of Commerce, a leading M'Clellan pa
per, announces that hereafter it will abandon
politics. This will be sad news for the con

Speech of President Lincoln.
ougratalatory Visit of the Maryland Union
The Adoption of the Free Constitution--
a Victory for the Right.
This afternoon the Maryland Union State
Central Committee formally called upon
President Lincoln to congratulate him on his
re-election.
Mr. W. U. Purcell, chairman, in his address
said they felt under deep obligation to him,
because, by the exercise of rare discretion on
his part, Maryland to-day occupies the proud
position of a free State, and they desired that
his future administration of Government., as
in the past, might result in the restoration of
the Union, with universal freedom as its im
maculate basis.

The President, in reply, said he would not
attempt to conceal his gratification with the
result of the election. He had exercised his
best judgment for the good of the whole coun
try, and to have the seal of approbation placed
on his course was exceedingly grateful to his
feelings.
He expressed his belief that the policy he
had pursued was the best and the only one
which could save the country.
He repeated what he had said before, that
he indulged in no feeling of triumph over any
one who thought or acted differently from
himself.
He had no such feeling towards any living
man. He thought the. adoption of a Free
State Constitution for Maryland was a great
victory for the right.
In conclusion, he repeated what he had
previously said, namely, "Those who differed
from and opposed us will see that their defeat
was better for their own good than if they had
been successful." Some time was spent in
pleasant intercourse, the President relating
several anecdotes appropriate to the, occea
sion.
The plates of the new fifty-cent fraction
al currency are nearly ready for printing.
The notes will be of the same width as those
now in circulation but nearly twice as long.
The new five-cent notes will be of the same
size as the old ones,.while the tens and twen
ty-fives will be of graduated length between
the highest and lowest denominations. It is
probable that a three-cent note will be issued
for the greater facility of making change.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue to
day decided that persons who sell Schiedam
Schnapps are required, in addition to other
licenses they may have, to also take out li
censes as dealers in liquors, wholesale and
retail; according to the manner and amount
of their•annual sales.

The trial of Eapt. Hugh A. McDonald, Co.
A. Ist Pennsylvania Cavalry, was commenced
to-day before a military commission. He was
charged with uttering false and counterfeit
treasury and bank notes. He pleaded guilty
and made a long confession, implicating
others. It is said he used his military posi
tion to circulate a very large quantity of
counterfeit fractional notes in the army, and
for two years has eluded the detectives.
An officer who has just arrived from Mem
phis, says that information, believed to be
correct, had reached there, that Gen. Canby
had died from the effects of his recent wound
received while en ron , e from New Orleans on
the Cricket.
OFFICIAL DISPATCH TO THE CONTRAST OF THE
Westoznoron, Nov. 17.—An official dispatch,
received here to-day, confirms the statement
that Maj. Gen. Canby, while going up the
White river to direct matters in Arkansas,
was fired upon by guerrillas, and wounded in
the upper part of the thigh. The wound is a
severe and painful one, but fortunately is not
dangerous. He arrived at New Orleans, the
dispatch says, safely on the 12th, "and
willreceive the best care, under the superin
tendence of Mrs Canby. His mental facul
ulties are entirely unaffected, and with his
admirable power of endurance and strength
of mind, we hope he will be about in a few
weeks. After he was wounded, he consulted
fully with General Reynolds, at the mouth of
the White river, and it is confidently believed
that the accident will in no way interfere with
the direction of affairs in this division."
The above dispatch shows the report of the
death of Canby, telegraphed from Memphis,
to be untrue.
THE ADVANCE MOVEMENT OF GEN. SHERMAN
The Nashville correspondent of the Times,
of this city, in noticing the advance move
ment of General S.herman's army, says that
such buildings at Atlanta as could be of benefit
to the enemy were destroyed, but none others.
It was not believed that Sherman would
meet with any considerable force of the enemy
on the way.

Harrisburg Gas Works.
HARRISBURG, Nov. 12,1863.
ON AND after the first day of December
this company will be under the necessity of inct eas
trig the price of Gas to $3 50 per 1,000 cubic feet. There
are many reasons which compel this company to make
the increase; and in order to inform the public of the
cause which compels them to do so, we beg leave to men
tion the following facts, viz:
Coal, the artiole , most extensively used for the manufac
ture of Gas, was formerly purchased for $3 85 per ton
now tne skme article costs s94s.Lime, another item, was
formerly purchased at 9 cents per bushel; now we pay 20
cents.'
Retorts and other castings extensively used were for
merly purchased at 2,ii" cents per pound; now we pay 6
cents.
Pipe of every descripti in has increased in price more
than one hundred per cent.
Fire brick, meters, rosin, .1 c., have advanced more than
two hundred per cent.
Labor and everything connected with the manufacture
of Gas hes increased more titan one hundred per cent.,
andlhe company is therefore reluctantly compelled to add
50 cents to the price of Gas per 1,500 cubic feet, on and
after the above mentioned day. In addition to the above
enormous increase of materials and labor, the company
pays a taint 20 MITES Ott .every 1,000 feet of Gas mann
factored, to the United States Government, in addition to
the usual licenSe. The last Legislature has also laid a tax
of TliliZE ease COTT. in addition to the taxes heretofore paid
on capital stock and dividends. These increased bastions
alone amount to more than one half of the increase per
1,000 feet. Whf. DOCK, President.
