FOK PRESIDENT iH 1864,
GEORGE B. M'CLELLAN,
Subject to the Decision of the Democratic
Nation) Convention
Inothtr Draft.
Oar readers will find in to-day's paper
another call from Abe Lincoln for two hun
dred thousand more Ren. Thus we have
nothing but levies of troops ; hear of noth
ing but soldiers marching and counter
marching in the detested evolutions of this
rssrderous war. We see no indications of
a settlement of onr national disruptions
war, war to the aVuter end.
We remember the glowing word of the
good old Abba Raynal, who sat there in
France contemplating the glorious termina
tion of our Revolutionary straggle, blessing
God to see us become a free nation. Hie
remarks wera
"Heroic country, my advanced age per
mits me not to visit thee. Never shall I
see myself among the respectable person
ages of thy Areapagas; never shall I be
present a! the deliberations ol thy Congress.
1 shall die wi'hout having seen the retreat
of toleration, of manners, of laws, of virtue,
nod of freedom. My ashes will not be
covered by a free and holy earth; but 1
hall have desired it; and my last breath
shall bear to heaven an ejaculation for thy
t prosperity."
Alas, good Abb?, rest qniet in thy grave !
Never more open thine eyes to look upon
jt hi distracted country !

otive Committee of the Pennsylvania State
Society was LeU at the office of t he Society,
in Harrisburg, Tuesday 15th instant.
A committee from the Lehigh County
Agricultural society weie present, ami eao
milted a proposal for the holding of the
liext State Fair upon their grounds at Al
lentown. A proposition of similar import waa also
received from the farmers' and Merchants'
Institute of Northampton county, for the
location of the Fair at Easton. The several
proposals were referred to a committee,
vriih full power to locate, and contract with
either of the said Socie'ies, at their diners
lion, and wi'h full power to appoint sub
committees, and make all necessary ar-
r angement for the holding of the next Fair
Messrs Engle, Ellis, Hamilton and Long
aker were continued a committee on the
revision anu preparation 01 tne premium
list, with power to arrange the same for
next Fair.
' The time holding the next Fair, as fixed
at the last meeting, will be September 27. k,
? 28lh, 23ih, and 30th next.
Ma. Chase Withdraws. Mr. Secretary
Chase, in a le.ter addressed to Hon. James
.C.Hall, of Ohio, dated Washington, 5th
March, withdraws his name as a candi
Jate for the Presidency. Gen. Blair's attack
upon hira in the' House of Representatives,
- inwhich he charged him with dishonesty
and mismanagement, is supposed to have
-indaced tha Secretary to decline the honor
el a contest with Mr, Lincoln. It was sup
posed Elair speke for the President, and
31 r. Chase probably withdrew to avoid an
investigation which be knew Congress
would order if the President desire it. Fre
mont now has the field pretty much to him
self, and, borne opon the backs of 400,
COO German radicals and as many Yan
kees of the Phillips, Beecher and Greeley
type, he may : give Uncle Abraham more
. trouble than he anticipates.
Riot in GaccspBrRQ -The Abolitionists
of Greensborg, on Monday of last week, in
stigated a number of soldiers belonging lo
Company 6, of the 2Slh Fa. regiment, to
make an attack on the office of !he Greens-
burg Democrat, and also on the Kitlering I
ilonse, bat they i;ere inglorioasly repulsed
and it required much effort to save the
property f the vile political hacks who
had instigated the outrage. The company
had been brought in from Mount Pleasant
for the special purpose of doing Uie dirty
- work of those ecoaadrels.
Legislation. The Stale Legislature has
got to rork in - earnest since the Senate
has become organized in the elec ion of. a
Speaker. The only legislation of a local
character relating to this district that we
, noticed in the proceedings, was a bill in
troduced by Mr. Ellis, as a supplement to
the Danvilfe Railroad Co., also one regula
ting lateral roads and providing for the
. dxaiticg of mines. Jnlciiigencer.
The Frcitscf Abolitionism.-The teach
ings of the Abolitiouista are beginning to
produce their inevitable fruits. A week or
" ;wb ajo, the wife of an hoses: solJier ofthe
97th Pennsylvania Volunteers, residing in
East Whiteland township,' Chester county,
eloped wi;h a negro, carrying off with her
three hundred dollars of hr husbd's
money, wLich he had sent home to her,
from time to time, for the support of his
family. The little children of this degraded
ir.c'Lsr wcrs takea to her fa;ber'g.
Liccola ti Wer Democrats. -
We find the following paragraph in a re
cent letter from the regular Washington
correspondent of the Newark (N. J ; Advtf
User, a Republican "paper : ?
'Speaking ot New Jersey remind n that
some time Since one of the demncratip mm.
bera of your delegation in Congress called j
upon the President opon ome business,
and in conversation upon general matters,
remaiked to Lincoln, that he was with the
Administration npon.lwo points, he would
vote all the men and money wanted to sink
the rebellion : to which the President vt-ry
coolv replied : "Give me men and money
and 1 will whip the rebellion and you too."
Good for Old Abe ! There never was a
more striking and pointed illustration ol
War Democrats than Lincoln himself gives.
Here a man goes to him, says he disagrees
with him as to the policy he is carrying
out, is utterly opposed to the principles he
is aiming to establish, and concludes by
telling him, "but, no matter, I am agreed
wiih jou, Mr. President, upon' two points ;
1 am in favor of giving you all the men
and the roonej you want to put down those
who are resisting the enforcement of those
principles. Remember, I am distinctly
opposed to the principles you are carrying
on, as much opposed to them as any man
can be, but then I think that all who will
not submit to your carrying them out ought
to be shot, hanged, confiscated, &c,
This is a War Democrat. Is he not the
funniest biped that ever lived ?
No wonder Old Abe pats him on the back
and says, "good boy, give me the men and
money and I will whip the rebels and you
two.
Il IS SELDOM INDEED THAT AN IitVENTlO of
any description, in any age of the world,
has stood the test of time and .competition
agaiust a tost of formidable rivals with such
unqualified triumph as has been realized
by the celebrated Grover & Baker Sewing
Machine. The card published by this firm
to-day in ocf 'paper is a record of victories
that may well make them proud, and the
tens of thousands who are using them hap
py in the consciousness that, in selecting
this instrument in preference to all others,
they are nniversally sulaineJ by the best
judges in the land. Almost any machine
would receive an award of soma kind by
being generally exhibited wherever compe
tition is invited ; bet this machine has car-
red ofFthe palm, not only by the receipt
of one, but more generally of three fist pre
miums, in a dozen States of the Union, in a
single season. The Grover &. Baker Ma
chine obtained the highest premiums for
the be.t family sewing-machines, the bes1
manufacturing machines, and the best ma
chine work this year, in the Sia'e Fairs cf
New York, Vermont, Iowa, Michigan, In
diana, Illinois, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and
Ohio ; also, at the Fairs held in Chittenden
County, Vermont, Champlain Valley, Ver
mont, Hampden County, Massachusetts,
and in Franklin, Queens, Washington, and
Saratoga Counties, New York. In other
words, the Grover & Baker Machine has
taken the first premium wherever it has
been exhibited, without a single exception.

The Spotted Fever. This unusual and
generally fatal disease, of which thousands
have suddenly died in Philadelphia during
the winter months, is beginning to make
its appearance in the country. Several
cases have recently ocenrred in Douglas
and Hereford townships, Berks county,
three of which have proved fatal. The
Pottstown Ledger states that Ephraim Wise
and one of his children, and a child of
Hiram Dierolf, have died of The first
symptoms of the disease are said to be an
eruption on the. skin, and sadden weakness
of the nerve; and stiffnes of the limps. If
immediate medical aid is not obtained,
death generally ensues in a few hours
Reading Gazelle. ""
It is said that just before Senator Wilson
withdrew his resolution for the expulsion
of Garret Davis, he remarked to a gentle
man who was standing near hinf "I'm
afraid I stand alone in this , measure.''
"Worse than that,'1- .replied his : frieui ;
"your colleague and Zach. : Chandler, are
fcoib wiih yoa " , . ,

LATE WAR NEWS.
General Grant will arrive in Washington
either to-morrow or Wednesday, to begin
his preparations for the eighth campaign
against Richmond He now has on the way
east, large reinforcements for the Army of
tha Potomac, drawn from every western
column. Thirty thousand men will thus be
added to his force. Besides this, he will
have full control of all military affairs in the"
east. Including the aarrisons of Baltimore,
Fortress Monroe, Norfolk and the Shenan
doah, he will by the first of April muster
about one hundred thousand white soldiers
and fiiteen thousand negroes. With these
he is to make his advance against Lee, who
has an available force of not less than one
hundred thousand. The only Federal ob
stacles yet placed in Grant's way are the
reluctance of the Senate to give General
Smith a rank sufficient to enable him to
command the Armv of the Potomac (he
being now a brigadier of volunteers) and
Graiit'a ignorance of the eastern mode of
warfare and the country in which he will
opera'e. What greater obstacles Lincoln
and Stanton will put in his way as soon a
ha begins to move their meddlesome char
acter being notorious no one can tell.
There already numerous indications that
Grant's principle advance against Rich
mond will be up the James river, either the
Peninsular line from Fortress Monroe, or a
march a'ong tha southern bank from Nor
folk
A large force will at the same time
operate from Fredericksburg or the present
camp of the Federal army on the Rapidan.
The Peninsular column and the one on the
Rapidan will very probably be of nearly
eqil force, Gsneral Grant being famois for
dividing his armies into different columns
each directed against the same object.
Whichever way goes .however he will
find an alert and active enemy and plenty
of fortifications. He can scarcely begin
his advance before the middle of April. The
equinoctial storm is et to coma and for ten
days or two weeks thn roads will be bad.
Il took McClellan ihre weeks to transport
his armj toYorkown, an I Grant has not
yet begun operaiious If he leaves Wash
ington undefended he may certainly expect
interference from Lincoln, and if he lingers
too long tne Confederates may take the in
itiative out of his hands and fix the cam
paign to suit themselves. I! Grant has al
ready made his plans he may depend that
the Confederates know ihem, for such intel
ligence travels to Richmond with marvel
lous rapidity. Taking all things into con
sideration, Ge.ieraf Grant will have obsti
c!b o encounter in hia campaign, far more
formidable than ever oppoed h;m in the
West. The sie:e of Richmond is not the !
siege of Vicksburg Lee is not Pemberton,
and the war office al WTabiogton is far too
cioe for comfort
It is at lens'h ascertained tha' Alexandria,
town on the Red river, is thej'object of the
combined expeditions of Banks fmrn New

Ccue for the Spotted Fever A corres
pondent cf the Independent RepH'lican, Mont
rose, suggests the follwing cure for Spotted
Fever. He says, hearing of the ravage thit
black or spotted fever is making in your
county and vicinity, prompts me to let the
people of Susquehanna county know of a
remedy that saved many lives in Yermont
over fifty years ago. The same disease
broke out there, and proved fatal, until one
case occurred in which no doctor could be
bad. They tried sweating the patient by
boiling hemlock boughs and placing the pa
tient over the steam, and giving him hem
lock tea to drink, both hot and strong, which
soon produced Perspiraton. All that fol
lowed this prescription got well, and hardly
a family went to bed without a good quan
tity of hemlock boughs that could be used
in case of necessity. The old fireplace and
five pail kettles were in use there. Bat I
expect Yankee ingenuity will devise some
means with more modern household uten
sils to raise steam. Levi Wells.
