TOR PRESIDENT IN 1864,
GEORGE B. M'CLELLAN,
Subject to the Decision of the Dem Con.
Th Democracy of Philadelphia did well
en Trtesday of lat week. They had a pow
erful element to workagtiinst, but in spite
of al? the opposition brocght out though
the Navy Yard, Mint, CuMom louse, Sad
d.try ai,d Clothing establishments, Ord
nance Departments, Iron Works at Mana
yuuk. and the Loyal Leagne, they kep: the
Republican majority under seven hundred.
A'l these establishments are under Govern
ment employ, lavishing upon Greenbacks,
and give employ ment to thousand a of men,
who were managed so an to carry out the
w! of their' employers. They were furn
ished the Shoddy candidate's ticket, and no
other, after which it was expected each
man would vote the ticket he received from
his employer, if not, subject himself to a
(litharge and In te marked I The bones post
ed themselves at the polls for the purpose
of watching iind intimidating their men. so
as not to allow any of them to vote for the
Democratic candidate. They did this kind
f burinens at the polls in this place ; more
so at this than any previous election. Both
li.m Co.'tf in this twp. had bosses and helpers
at ibe polls all day. For the amount of
pains taken, to hare every man under their
employ vote the Curtin ticket, whether bis
will or not, ;hey have accomplished noth
ing wonderful. They have increaseJ their
majority some to b-a-sor!, and no one is at
all surprised at it, when he looks at the
means . employed. - The vote in the iotd
ehip has been increased, as wall as through
out the county.
Philadelphia, as we said before, did well,
considering the large amount of opposition,
backed by the war authorities and a profile
sprinkling of n tender promises to pay
nc'es from Washington eity. Luzerne and
Berks counties have, too, performed their
part nobly. Hi.d other Democratic counties
Hood np to the work as well as these two,
we could to.diy, annocnce the election of
George W, Woodward, as our next Gov
ernor. Bat de eat is out lot, and the only
consolation we can give is, "pick j our flints

to perch upon our banners if we only perse
vere in the good cause.
The present number' completes the Fifth
Volume of the Star cf thi North, since under
our control. Counting the nine months we
were soldiering, it is Sve years and nine
months since we connected oorself with
the Star' rf the North. On our return home,
we resumed the publication of the Stir at
the Volume and Number where we discon
tinued, throwing out thu nine months.
At present is a good time to subscribe,
and an excellent opportunity for those owe
ing os for one or more years, to come and
pay their indebtedness. Friends of the Star,
you can aid as in no more acceptable and
lobstaatiat manner than by assisting os to
increae-our inscription list to 1200. All
of our rtrons doing little towards this
object would '. soon briag it up to these Ch
ores. Our pa per migbt just as well have
ten or twelve hundred subscribers as to
have what it has. Democrats, friends ol
Civil Liberty, Free Speech and Free Press,
npport well yorr Democratic journals, if
yon would have the cause of 'Democracy
triornph over this Abolition party that is
destroying oor country. Now is tbe time
Democratic newspapers need supporting
more than any other. Nearly every Dem
ocratic publisher is compelled at the pres
ent tune 10 depend more or less upon hi
subscription to keep the machine moving,
as the, advertising and jobbing compared
with -what it was a few years ago, is noth
ing TbtrAbolitioniets withdraw their pa
tronas.e Jroni all Democratic papers, sup
port nol'linf; but journals of their stripe,
and the Democratic business men under the
pressure of taxation, do not feel able to ad
vertise liberully, consequently the patron
age to the democratic press is greatly re
duced." Tbo Abolition press, though, may
fatten, tot not opoit merited patronage,
whica i oo'id be more honorable and of
Jess .tjo!b menu. The Democracy should
increase the eubscriiMions of all Democratic
papers, and continuo battling on for the re
construction of the Union as it was, if they
would have a return to the former better
days. .'.

" Thi prpmwe of freedom to the negroes
must be kept," says the President. In his
SpringG aid letter. Ah I but, Mr. Lmcotw,
why ba"c tiot the solemn pledges, yon, and
your partyl in Congress, and elsewhere,

Treason and Discnion fa IS 16.
The ante men and the same papers that
Are now determined to destroy the Uoion;
commenced their hellish acd diabblical
work seventeen years ago. At a conven
tion held in Faneuil Hall on the 5lh of June
1846, the following resolutions were passed,
and the New York Tnfcune, of June 5ih.
true to its treason, paraded them to an
astonished world : -
Hesoh-td, Thai, if the Governor of the Leg
islature of this Commonwealth shall do any
act to aid tbe government of the United
States in prosecuting the famous invasion of
Mexican territory and rights, obey its re
quisjtion for troops, or co operate in any
way to assist in this war or to give it coun
tenancy, they will deserve the contempt of
all honest men, and be recreant to duty, to
liberty and to the constitution.
Hetolved, That we, the people of Massa
chusetts, do here now deliberately assert
that there is no Joozer a Union of Stales, a
National Constitution, a National Executive
that no citizen of these Slates is under any
kind of obligations of patriotism or ot Don -or
to aid the act of unparalleled outrage
upon a sifter repablic ; that a participation
in this war is an act of conspiracy with
itivless marauders and muderers against thtl
nation; anu mat we announce tor our-
lves, and recommend to our fellow citi
zens the adoption of these three measures
as alone suitable to the present crisis :
1. Individually and collectively to pledge
ourselves in no . way to the countenance,
encourage or aid this inhuman and impious
robbery of Mexico.
2. Individually and collectively to pledge
oar contributions to support the families of
thofre who, being drafted for this war, re
fuse to serve and take the penalty.
3. To meet in primary assemblies of the
people, and in county, State and general
conventon, for '.he end of re-es'ablirhing
the prostrate Republic ; of forming a new
tondof Union of Fret men only ; of adopt
ing a new Constitution which shall be
founded opoo the principles of universal
justicSf, and fined in-all its articles to secure
the equal rights of every citizen to "Life,
Libert) and the pursuits of happiness," and
of organizing the people into a nation
which God in his providence desigued us
tote, a Nation of united Freemin.
General MeCIellaa.
Thi officer has teen re'hed; we believe
it is the military tefmlor putting officers
upon half pay. The Government thus pla
cee him among the useless and superar.ua
ted, thoe who have passed oveMhe ireful
period of their lives; and would only be in
the way of active service.
Some cf the people may have a different
opinion of this gentleman, from 'hat indica
ted by the Government that is if they are
not "hanged for thinking," in pursuance of
Jim Lane's suggestion. His exploits in the
early part of the war are yet too fresh in
the minds of men to be obliterated by a Ptes-
idential order or Proclamation. All will I
well remember that he was the especial fa- j
vorite of the administration in i'.s earlier j
and teller days. That all their hopes of
success hunj cpon him, and that the high
est were proud to do him homage, uniilthe
cloven foot of abolition teaan to protwde
from under the Presidential mantle. Then,
because this young &nd patriotic comman
der would not bow to this monster jugger
naut, the axe must be brought into requisi
tion, and the political gulletine must ring
with bis decapitation. But notwithstanding
his removal from the army that loved him
so well, still his hold upon their affections
was so deep, that no effort of the Govern
ment could wean them from him. They
had so often followed hira to victory and to
glory, and knew so, well the stuff he was
made of, that the ban of authority couI J
never estrange them from him. Hence
this late unjustifiable act of the President
placing him upon the tetired list, where
he draws, but half pay. If he thinks by
.ibis to turn the hearts of the people against
him be is sadly mistaken. The people are
getting too ued to seeing independent mer
it punished to suffer themselves to be thus
misled, and the past experience of the
President ought to have taught bim this ere
now. The eyes of the people are already
turning towards this yojng chieftain as
th"ir next candidate for President, an J eve
ry blow that old Abe aims at him, pots hira
up another round upon che Presidential lad
der. Uiami Co. Sentinel.
Oua Fathers refused to regard the stamp
doiea attempted to be impose J upon them
by King George, because there was a great
principle invo!ved in the opposition to the
act. We, their posterity, pate one of these
infamous stamps upon nearly every written
ducument that passes through our bands.
Wbat a pity ii is, that the men of the rev
olution could not have exercised the same
spirit of submission that we do -is it not 1
Hjw easy a matter it is to put a simple
stamp upon a bit of paper. How quickly
it is done. It is mere nothing. How on
wise in our fathers to refuse to do so sim
ple an act, and to go to war for so small a
thing !
An exchange says, that on Sunday of last
week the Rebels attacked the Democrats at
Rappahannock Station, inflicting some loss
the Republicans being in Pennsylvania to
vole. This is correct. Meade's army has
been greatly weakened by the election in
this State. Some 40,000 of bis troops are in
New York, while upwards of 30,000 are in
Pennsylvania. For what 1 Is the war trans
ferred to these States 1 No. But those in
Pennsylvania are here for the purpose of
securing the re-election of Shoddy Andy,
and those in New. York are there for the
purpose of forcing "Copperheads," as they
say, into the army. That is no place for
traitors, what do the war authorities want
of them there ?
The New York Post, a Republican Jour
nal, in descanting upon the probable effect
of war upon slavery, aja :
"If Slavery ja to be "csntinned in this
country Wb WANT THE IRISH and
CATHOLICS TO TAKE THE PLACE of
the NEGROES, and let the Moac Iwteixi
ceht and Moac Virt?o3 Bunts be liberat

$500 Reward.
The above reward will be given to any
man who will show that any Democrat
north of Mason'and Dixon's line, by word
or'deed, ever advocated a dissolution of the
Union; or who . ever expressed a desire,
wish or thought, favorable to the dissolu
tion of the Union, under any circumstan
ces, ever likely to take place. Now if the
Democratic rarty is "disloyal'' to the gov
ernment of the Union, for disloyalty can
exist in nothing else, and here is a first rate
chance to get paid for the trouble of prov
ing the Democracy, or any member of the
party "disloyal," if it can be done. Now,
if this cacnot be done, and no one claims
the reward for the discovery, then the cry
of disloyalty against the Democratic party
must be voted a senseless and vile partizao
fcheme, unworthy of honorable men.
On the contrary we affirm, and no man
dare dispute it, that the following Re
publicans and Republican papers, &c, have
in various ways, expressed ei'.her directly
or under certain contingencies, a desire for
the dissolution of the Union, to wit :

Now all these are leading Republicans,
and the list might be almost indefinitely
extended. We will not dodge behind a
mere emty charge, without proof, that these
men and presses are "disloyal"' to the Gov
ernment of the Union we have their blis
tering record, as written by themselves,
before us. We have given that record to
the public, and our Republican contempo
raries know we can do it again. Hence,
they will not call os for the proof, but
beina guilty ones being ''disloyal" them
selvesthey seek to escape the indignation
of the people by crying copperhead and
disloyalty against the Democracy just a!'
the thief attempts to escape detection by cry
ing "stop thief."
Now then, if it be true (and we darp any
man to the tet) that no man in the demo
cratic party can be found who has ever ex
pressed a desire, in any form, for a dissolu
tion nf this Union, and all the above named
Republicans have expressed "disloyal
sentiments, is it not true that the Demo
cratic party is the "loyal," and the Aboli
tion the ''disloyal" party ? We challang'3
any man to a full scrutiny of these facts.
Sladhon Wis.) Patriot.
Tbe Result in Obio.
The result of the election ia Ohio is posi
tive evidence of the vile corruption of the
Administration. In such t result they do
but alory in their shame. From private
advices which we have received from Obio,
men in the regiments irom Illinois, Indiana,
Wisconsin, and even from New England
Slates, voted for the Republican candidates.
there was no one to say to inem nay' or
if he did, his life would have been the for
feit. As high as fifty dollars a vote was
payed at lha polls in Cincinnati and Day ten.
The most shameful par iality was shown in
the refusal of Democratic votes, by a corps
of paid Judges, who would prostitute their
official influence, and alleUealthe bidding
of iheir masters. A three years civil war t as
eaten the honesty of the nation. The spirit
of averice has taken possession of the hearts
ot men, and in the pursuit " of large gains,
and of official emoluments, they aro willing
to forget the value of their li berties, and to
surrender them all at the bidJing of those
who confer upon them lucrative contracts
and good fat salaries. They wear their
shackles with an indifference that is truly
dissusting; beca use the reason of that in
difference is apparent to every observer
There is not an agency resorted to by the
Administration that is so basely diahocest
and corrupting in ita character. Controll
ing a secret service fund oi nearly ten
millions of greenbacks, all of them unregis
tered; ihey sent a million into Pennsylvania,
and over a million into Ohio, and let loose
tbe whole army of office-hofders in Wash
ington, from these respective Slates, vrith
the fearfully corrupting influences of this
money to back their appeals to sustain an
Administration that supported them. It
was the old cry of the silversmiths of Deme
trius with these pensioners, ol 4 Great if the
goddess Diana." If things go on itiuh
lonaer in this country as they have gone,
we eha'.l yet live to tee highwaymen en
trusted with the public property, rioters in
vested wiih commissions of the peace the
laws administered by judges who bave
picked pockets, and counselor who have
pleaded at the bar for their lives, while
shoplifters regulate the markets. Ar. Y.

Soldiers, Bead Letter from Gen. George B.
BieClellan.
Or a kg E, N. J., Oct. 12, 1863.
lion Ch'trles J. B'uldle :
Dear Sir : My attention .has been called
to an article in the Philadelphia Press, as
serting that I had written to ihe. managers
of a Democratic meeting at Allentown, dis
approving the objects of the meeting, and
that it I votpd and j-poke, it would be in fa
vor of Governor Curtin. I am informed
that similar assertions have been made
throughout the State. It has bean my earn
est endeavor heretofore to avoid participa
tion in party politics, and I had determined
to adhere to this course, but it is obvions
that I cannol longer maintain silence under
such misrepresentations. I, therefore, re
quest you to deny that I hare written any
such letter or entertained any such views
as those attributed to me in the Philadel
phia Press, and 1 desire to state clearly and
distinctly that, having some lew days p?o
had a full conversation with Judge Wood
ward, I find that our views agree, and I re
gard his election as Governor of Peni.sylva
nia called for by the interests of the nation.
I understand Judge Woodward to be in fa
vor of the prosecution of the war with all
the means at the command of the loyal
States, until the military power of the re
bellion is destroyed.
I understand him to be of tbe opinion that
while the war is urged with all possiCTe de
cision and energy, the policy directing it
should be in consonance with the princi
ples of humanity and civilization, working
no injury to private right and property not
demanded by military necessity, and rec
ognized by military law among civilized
nations, and, finally, I understand him to
agree with nte in the opinion that the sole
great objects of this war are the restoration
of the unity of the Nation, ihe preservation
.of tbe Constitutiooand the supremacy of
the laws of the country. Believing our
opinions entirely agree upon these points,
I would, were it in my power, give to
Judge Woodward my voice' and my vote. I
am, very respectfully, yours,
George B. McClellak.
Tbe Legislature from presett appearan
ces will be Democratic. If we are correct,
in the Senate tbe Republicans will have a
majority of one. ' In the House the Demo
crats bave a majority of four, which will
give as a majority on joint ballot of three.
This seemi to be tbe character of tbe next
Legislator. Well dooe for the Democracy !

The Government Wants 31 ore
Wages.
Ire Iew lork Intlependev, in a recent
number, siaris the proposi ion for an in
crease of sa'ary for Mr. Lincoln. By all
means. When the financial department of
tbe Government can print money by the
cart-load every day, why should ' Old Abe"
be restricted to 25,000 a. year 1 Why that
i a mere baga'elle a bagger's pittance a
contractor could gain such a sum in a day's
operation! To be sure, men who have filled
the Presidential office heretofore have not
sought it for its perquisites but when a
great war is raging when debt is piled
mountain high upon the nation, it is a
"military necessity" that "theGovernment"
should have his share of the public plunder.
Don't be modest, gentlemen thoddyttes.
How will 5100,000 do (or his immediate
and personal wants ? then create a yearly
stiper.d for "Mrs. Governmeni"-say of S20,
000 a year to keep her in scarlet cloaks,
"loves of bonnets," ivc, that she may not,
like Miss Flora McFiimsey, have "nothing
to wear." Then we must not forget Bob
and Thod: let them not want for spending
money we cannot be (o generous to this
inestimable family. Why not get up a
scale of salaries and incomes lor thern all,
taking for a pattern the royal house of En
gland? Why should not oor "shoddy"
court vie with that of St. James? Our debt
is almost as large we have a tay oa every
thing we are better than the old dynasties
of Europe, for they are fettered wiih the
haleis corpus and such relics of old fogyism
they cannot conscript and drag from their
homes, to fight for auJ idea, their poor and
laboring classes, as can oor "strong" Government-men
do not grow fat and rich in
a day there, fattening and profiting by the
people's misery. Oh yes; by all means in
crease "the Government's" salary it would
be a fitting and preliminary step to declar
ing him dictator white the war lasted, and
then makingihe war perpetual. Is there
any thing else "Honest Abe" wonld like
that Uncle Sara can procure for him 1 To
be sure, the spare change of that benevo
lent old uncle of ours could be profitably
laid out in relieving the wants of soldiers'
families, and making tne soldiers them
selves more comfortable this coming win
ter ; but jJien it would not show near so
well. B'idgeton Farmer.
. . i.
Sullivan Count? all right ! She has giv
en 356 majority lor Woodward and 349 ma
jority lorLowsir,. Geo. D. Jackson's ma
jori:y is 380, and John C. Ellis' majority is
376! Well done little Sullivan! She in
creased her Democratic majority over that
nf last year, in spite of the efforts made by
the Abolitionists to reduce it. Our Mem
bers, Jackson and Ellis, are triumphantly

REBEL MOVEMENTS TOWAHDS LEES
BURG SKIRMISHING ON BULL RUN
BATTLE FIELD. j
Washington. Oct. 16. Lat nihf, about j
eisjht o'clock, according to paspno;er frorn i
the army, inforrraiion came to Gen. Meade
that a corp of the rebel army, supposed to
be Gen. A P.Hill's, had moved Irom our
front in the direction ot Leesbnrg.
The Stir says a havy reconnoissance
was immediately started in the direction of
Aldie, the reconnoitering party moving
ligh', without knapsacks, and the enemy
will make little by their motion should
they be undertaking any surprise game in
that direction.
There was more or less skirmishing alonz.
the pickets on either side, and several cas
ualties are reported.
Yesterday there was skirmishing all along
the line of our army, and some firing a'o
on the old Bull Run battle field, but there
was no general engagement.
Our army last night was in line of battle.
The whole baggage and transportation train
was sent to the rear, and the sutlers were
ordered to Alexandria.
The skirmishing yesterday was principal
ly lor position, and the report is that in
every instances Gen. Meade has succeeded
in getting the advantage.
The J 9 2 prisoners of war captnred on
Wednesday laRt near Brintow Station, rea-h
vd the city last night, and were committed
to the Oid Capitol Prison.
The latest advices Irom the arm) of the
Potomac are but little more explicit than
those of Satorday Gen. Meade still re
mains at CentreviUe, and the enemy's force
which acted as a decoy on the Rippaliarr
nock.canbe seen at Bristow Station from
the elevated ground near CentreviUe. Their
advance guard is at Manaias Junction,
where tbe two railroads meet, and but 27
mile3 from Washington. The enemy in
Virginia are thue in the exact position ihey
occupied in July 1861, before tSe first battle
oi Bull Run, and Meade holds the same
ground as va then cccupied by General
McDowell. Oar telegrams say that Meade
cannot be driven from CentreviUe, but past
experience tells us thai no amount ot hard
knocks can drive the enemy from Manafas
Junction. Manassas has only been taken
hercofore by going around it; never by a
direct attack in front. The two armies must
be about equal in strength, and since this
last advance, a urulden period has been pot
to the many 6tories of Confederate destitu
tion, which were so plenty two weeks ago.
Later from the Potomac.

ing. Washington, Oct 18 The information
Irom ihe Army of the Putornac rrceived to
night is that reports came in from our cav
alry yesterday evening that the enemy haJ
mased a lorce'at Manassas. Tr.ere were
also vaiue rumors that the enemy, straizhi
ened for supplies, and havins signally fail
ed to procure them fiom General Meade's
trains, ha again turned his attention and
course toward the Lower Shnand-ah Val
ley to our post-on the Baltimore and Ohio j
Railroad
Rebel infantry pickets made thpir ap-j
pearance la-t niht in the vicinity ot Chan
ully, indicating, the presence of a heavy
rebel force in that vicinity, but Gen. Sedg
wick drove them back to Frying Pan from
his front. General Corcoran visited the
camp yesterday.
Later information up to noon to day says
that our cavalry recorM!oijarjCii went out
as tar a one mile from Bri-iow Sta'ioti and
found nothing but a tew rebel cavalry
scon's.
Rumors continue t3 multiply to the effect
that a rebel column is movingtowarJs Point
of Rocks or Harper' Ferry.
Ill would seem lht a general engagement
is considered probable troru the tact that
( the army surgeons have received orders to
hold themselves n readme-s to proceed to
the Army of the Po'omac.
The following was io day received at '.he
headquarters in this city :

AFFAIRS AT CIURLESTOX.
From Charleston we have absolutely
nothing. Private letters from there -tate
that the sirpe is to be abandoned, and, as
if the pub ic mind were preparing for it.
ihe newspapers are suddenly filled with
statements of the ob?truct:o:is and torpedoes
in the harbor, "which are of such a nature
as not to be removed by any appliances of
our own." The enemy continue to mak
a greai display over the possession of Fort
S'tmter. A Urge flag is displayed from the
upper comer ol the ruins, ar.d every even
ing at sundown a heavy un is fired from
the upper face of the fort. Their steamers
occasionally come down lo the Hr, and it
is evident that they are at work in the inte
rior. The supposition is thai they are
discing up the terreplain and howin; up a
strong traverse, behind which they can
mount guns.

The rebel batteries on Lookout Mountain
and on the left are silent. Our batterres
have driven th; rebels Irom Missionary

Deserters from the 3d KenMcky state that
a fight occurred on the 6ih, between a

former refusing lo go out of the Stale.
Several of our men and animals have
been killed by rebel sharpshooters irom
the south bank of the Tennessee river.
Our trains are agi-in runninz regularly on
the Nashville and Sj'.evenson Railroad.
The rebel cavalry raiders are now com
pletely scattered between Duck and Elk
River.
A strong rebel picket guard, with a Lieu
tenant, came into onr lines in a body yes
terday, reponing that the rebel were buil
ding positions. This is thought to be an
indication ol an attempt :o dislodge us by
a flank movement across the river, which
General Rosecrans has amply provided for.
There has been no communication with
General Burnside for several days. 11 is
army is doing good service, but not in the
manner generally supposed at the nonh.
General Lonstreet has suspended Gen'l
Polk. The latter has i-sued a farewell ad
dess. Rebel papers report that Jeff. Davis
is about to take command of Gen. Bragg's
army.
