Mr. Lincoln responded : "May 1 ioqnire

, Facts for the People. Let the people' rarl ol Wisconsin, within lhe last five
remember ihat At Lincoln deprived Gen- ' weeks, we are informed that the enthusi
eral McCiellan of his command, and gave asm for the Democratic ticket is unbound
his army 10 General Pope. ! ed. Converts are flocking in every day.
Let the people remember that wSen Pope Fremont men, as between Old Abe and
was defeated and flying towards Washing- ' McCiellan, will go for the latter almot to a
ton, Abe Lincoln found it necessary, 10 save
the Capital, to lecall McCiellan to com-1
mand.
Let the people remember that McCiellan
did save the Capital by achieving the two
glorious victories over the invading foe at
South Mountain and Aniietam.
Let the people remember that Abe Lin
coin thereupon wrote a letter lo McCiellan
giving him "a thousand thanks" lor bis vie.
torjea
Lei the people remember, also, that when j
McClelian had defeated the enemy, driven
him out ol Maryland, saved the Capital and i
quieted the fears of the Presidential buffoon j
that Abe Lincoln suspended him from lhe'
command.
The National Debt of the United States
i about 4,000 000,000 nfdolLrs. This enor
mous debt was accumulated in carrvinT
out Mr. Lincoln's negro oolicv. It is in -
creasing at the ra e ol thrt miUijr.s of doU
t'irs per day in advancing tbe same cause.
Mr. Lincoln says he will not stop the war
until the slaves are all emancipated, and if
he be re-elected, the present immense dai-
l ly expenditure will so on until his wicked
purpose is accomplished, or 4the last man
and the last dollar' are wasted. Should he
be re-electeJ, what will the National Debt
be at lhe end ol the next four years I Let
the tax payers, who mast pay lhe interest
on this frightful debt, make the calculation!
for themselves, and see bow much heavier
will be tbe burthen upon them thent than it J
is novo ! Age.
If lhe coiton States unitedly and earnestly
wish to withdraw peacefully from lhe Un
ion, we think they should and would be
allowed to do so. Any attempt lo compel
them by force to remain would be contrary
to the principles enunciated in the immor
tal , Declaration of Independence, contrary
to '.he fundamental ideas on which hurntn
liberty is based. JV. T. Tribune.
The Abol.t.on policy o. wh.ch Mr. I in.
coin is the embodiment, ha prolong this
dreary War for nearly four year has ac
i mneu r4"a"uc,c"
j countless treasure has filled almost every
i home with mourning an. I placed asKeieion
; in afmost every household has imposed
bnrthensome taxation and unwilling con
scription on lhe suffering masses has bru
tally arrested and confined in loathsome
dungeons unoffending citizens, whose only
crime was their devotion to Iree speech and
a free press and has utterly ignored and
set at naught the Union, the Constitution,
and the Laws.
The Democratic policy, of which Genl
McCiellan is the hero and champion, is to
restore the Union, and nphold defend and
perpeiun'.e the Constitution as the focnJers
of the Republic made it : to execute the
laws of Congress and vindicate the suprem
acy of the United States Government With
in tlie sphere ot its limi'ed powers; 10 bring
back peace and prosperity 10 a land now
drenched with fraternal blood, and lo re.
move, as speedily as possible, from lhe
people all lhe heavy burdens which have
been bronght upon ihem by the wickedness,
folly aud crime of the present imbecile and
corrupt administration.
Unionists of the North ! Which Wirl you
choose Lincoln, disunion, taxes aud the
draft; or McClellau, Union, peace and
prosperity ?
The Two Imperialists, Napoleok and
Lincoln. The London A'ew sajs : "There
can be no cordiality in the future relations
between the United States and Franc if
Generat McCleil an is elected lo the next
Presidency, lie being known as a strong an-ti-imperialisl."
On the other hand, judging
from the following Washington dispatch,
there will -be ihe most cordial relations be
tween France and the United Stale should
Lincoln be re-elected. The two imperial-
ista will barmoaize admirably. The Wash
ington dispatch says :
"It is surmised in diplomatic circles that
a minister Irom ihe Government of Maxi
m.l.an is already here. I have it from on-
doubled authority, and I challenge contra-
diction, that an agreement has been made
between Mr. Seward aud the French minis-
ter, ihat the subject ot recognizing the Mex -
cat. empire, and an mtercnange 01 minis-
ter shall not be agitated till alter the elec
lion, Mr. Seward having assured the French
minister ibat as soon as Mr. Lincoln is again
elected, the Government ot Maximilian
shall be acknowledged by the United S'a'es.
An American minister sfcall be dispatched
to ihe court of Maximilian, and rme from
thai court received at Washington."
Let the Farmers Wake Up The eyes
ot many farmers have been shut tgainal.

prices they have been getting for heat, '
rye, corn, :c. They will pel ihem opened

rumblings are heard already. Flour has

tar lower, at ine same 11 me luaiiiie taxes
will go far higher il Lincoln should be re
elected. With grain ai a low price, and
the land it is raised on mortgaged to pay
Lincoln's debts, our farmer will have to
struggle hard to keep ibeir beads above
water.

to a peace Democrat, tbe other day.
'Well,' he replied, 'I don't know, 'I was

j would like to ask you a question : Can t
depend on what I read in the Tribune.'
'Certainly, every word of it,' was lhe reply.

Is it a Fact? In answer to the question
if it is true thai President Lincoln asked
Marshal Lamon to sing him a vulgar song
1 wh,Ie 8'li"g the bailie field of Aniietam
just after the baitle, the New York IForM
aays :
"We have made the charge repeatedly,
are possessed of the proofs of it, and defy
contradiction from any souree whatever.
Whenever anyRepnblican cilizen or jour
nal ef standing ventures to deny the charge,
il wiil be lime lo produce witnesses.''
It is stated that an intimate personal
friend of Mr. Lincoln, an Illinois gentleman
who was entrusted with a large amount of
money with which to aidin carrying the
I recent elections, bas failed 10 account lor
the disbursement of .about one hundred
thousand dollars, and has not yet reported
at headquarter. There is much tribulation
among the Republican leaders at tbe sud
den flight of greenbacks.
