DO YOUE DUTY.
Union Men of ClearSc-ld .County! but a
fer days remain until the struggle wi!! be
determined between tho.se wuo pronounce
the war a "failure" and demand "a cessa
tion of hoitilitieV and those who beHeve
that the caue for which our brave soldier
are righting is just, that they are not sl
icing their lives in vain, and that no terms
of peace, ?-hort of submission to the author
ity of the National Government, should 1 e
accepted of traitors in arms. This is the is
f ue which is to be decided on Tuesday the
fth cay of November, 1C4. This is what
.vou will be voting l'r or again.-t on that oc
casion. It wiii not be for Abraham Lincoln
or George B. McCiei'an. as nicn, that o-i
will cast your ballots ; but it will be for them. !
na the representatives of a widely differing
poliey of con-iucting our National arTairs,
that you will vote. Abraha :i Lincoln is
. working with all his might to preserve the
government. He is laboring to prevent its
destruction, with all the 1 r-.ri -:it his com- j
mand. And just as his efforts are bringing '
-. forth good fruits just when our gallant, ar
mies, east- and west, are reaping glorious
victories will 3-011 so oast your ballots as to
; pronounce, these triumphs a "failure." and
join in the demand fr "a cessation of hos
tilities," or will you ie governed by the dic
tates of patriotism, of humanity, of honor,
o gratitude to the brave men who are fight-
' JDg the battles of the country, and vote that
traitors shall yield- obedience to the laws
the same to which we yield, obedience and
thus bring about an honorable and a lasting
Peace? As we said leforc, this is the issue
which is to be determined ntsxt Tuesday. It
remains for you to decide whether you will,
by casting your votes jor Abrrht.m Lincoln,
express your approval of the latter policy,
or cast it for Geo. B. McClcllan, an armis
tice, a separation of the States, and the es
tablishment of a Southern Confederacy, with
slavery as its chief corner-stone.
" THEOWIXG AWAY GU1T3.
Sheridar'o army in the valley has ft the
Union army in" the North a good example.
He pushed the enemy so hard that they were
obliged to throwaway their big guns. Now
let the Union men give the Copperheads
Fuch a rout. that they too will be glad to a
handon their "big guns," for example, Sey
mour, Fernando Wood,Vallandigham,Voor
heas, Pendleton and Little Mac, together
with a miscellaneous lot of little gotta ;(cor
respotfdingto muskets)such aslYank Hnghs,
"Win- B. Reed, CapL Kountz, Dawson and
others of this Stat and the Brookses and
such gentry of New York. It is said that
the way the flying rebels threw away their
guns of all kinds in the valley, was wonder
ful ; but it was nothing to the way the big
and little guns of the same party in the
North will be discarded after the 8th of No
: "ve ruber. The only difference in the two ca
se; is. that the abandoned guus in the North
will uot be worth gathering up.
A v70ETEY. EXAMPLE.
Gen. David B. Birxev, almost iu the
hour of his death, presented an example of
. patriotism which should be a reproach to all
the htkeuarm in the Union ranks. He was
. brought to Philadelphia on election day, Oc
tober Uth, with the impress of death upon
- hi features. Before allowing 1 imself to be
taken to his home, he insisted upon being
carried to the polls, to vote, as a citizen, for
the cause for which he had fought as a sol
dier. And yet we know of men in this coun
ty who live but a short distance from the
polls, and had r.o special reason for not go
ing to the election, who remained at home.
WY"e hope that all such will remember the
laudable example of Gen. Birney, and that
on next Tuesday they will go to the polls
.:. without fail and cast their votes for the U
' rion candidates. ;
Gov. Bradford of Maryland has issued a
.'proclamation announcing the adopion of the
Free State Constitution in that Stite, by a
majority of 376 vote.'

DESIGNS OF TEE COPPEEHEAI
T3
That the election of Mct'lellan, remarks
the Pittsburg Commerciol. would be imme
diately followed by a disruption of business,
a financial revolution, and a permanent !i
visou of the republic, no fair minded mart
will for a moment pretend. It is always dif
ficult to believe that great calamities toe
near at hand. All the warnings of stales
r.ien and patriots could not awaken the na
tion to the fact that Buchanan's Cabinet
were plotting rebellion, and that the .South
would really take up arms against the Gov
ernment. But when the storm burst, all the
hitherto hidden machinery was uncovered.
So it will be" in the event of McCIelian's
election, and the fact will have been learned
too late that what Buchanan's Cabinet be
gun, McCk-haii will finish. It is really
amazing that any one should entertain a
doubt. The evidence establishing the fact
that the success of the Chicago ticket will be
followed by negotiations for a final separa
tion of the South from . the North, is vastly
more conclusive than that which went to
show the treasonable purpose of the Buchan
an Cabinet. - Whether we take the author
ized declarations of the Chicago Convendoa,
the utterances of the journals and orators of
the party, or the antecedents and surround
ings of the can iidates and their immediate
advi'ers, to the unprejudiced mind the con
clusion is inevitable that a permauent divis
ion of the States must follow the election of
McClellan and Pendleton.
We need not point, as proof, to the fact
that the Rebel holdiers everywhere cheer
for McClellan, and feel as deep an inter
est in the election asjs felt in the North;
that the leaders of the desperate fortunes
of the Rebellion, in the language of Mr.
Boyoe, of North Carolina, "give this par
ty all the encouragement possible, " and
hold that "the Chicago Platform is the true
one;" nor that throughout Europe it is the
accepted conclusion that the success of the
Cbicago ticket will surely eventuate ra 6ep-
1 aration, to these we need not refer, beoiuse
liie genuineness of this " extract may
well be doubted. A party, who is guilty of
such a wholesale fraud as has been attempt
ed by Democratic politicians in regard to t lie
New Yoik soldiery' votes, would scarcely
hesitate to forge a newspaper article to cover
un the complicity of Southern traitors with
Northern Copperheads, in an effort to elect
Gen. McClellan President. That such a
complicity does exist, and that the rebels
really desire the election of MeCielian, the
intelligent reader need only refer back to
the "war despatches" published in ail the
newspapers throughout the country, within
the last two weeks, for the evidence. In
those despatches he will find, that during a
battle iu the Shenandoah Valley, the rebel
War cry wa- "Jfvrrah for McClellan."
Sucdi was the case, too, during the late fight
at Allatooua, Georgia, where the 1,1 Hurrah
for McC'nH.on" was frequently heard alove
the din of battle. And but a few days since,
before Petersburg, the rcbs jumped up on
their breastworks and gave "three cheer for
Mc( lil in .'" These instances are sufficient
to convince any reflecting man. as to whom
the traitors wish to see elected President.
But, as a lurther evidence on this point,,
we will tive several extracts from Rebel pa
pers. The v,ta.rh:ou Mercury i? Septem
ber f.th, says:
"The dutiuil of G'rD. Me Chil! an. (upon
such declaration of wrongs and platform)
ni'.txf lead to pence and oi'r inthpiiob itce,
with one essential condition however, that
for the next two months we hold our own
an 1 prevent military sue-.;,-, by our fois.
I!" we !o thi- there isevei v probabiiitv that
McClellan will be fleeted.'"
The Charleston Courier of Sept. 7 th says:
"All of us perceive the intimate connec
tion existing between the armies of th: Con
federacy .and the Peace men of the United
States. Utr s-p resf in L ttth; innre-i (he
hucrtfs of McClellan.''
More positive proof than the above, that
the rebels are for McClellan lecaue his elec
tion will insure the Independence of the
Southern Confederacy, it is impossible to
procure, and should be nifiieient to deter ev
ery lover of the Union from voting for "Lit
tle Mac ' for by voting fur him you vote
for Rebel Independence. But. if you vote
for Abraham Lincoln u iote for the per
petuation of the Union.
Loyal men, of all parties, we hope that you
will se:S)usly ponder and reflect upon these
great and indisputable truths, and that on
next Tuesday you wiii go to the polls and
cast your ballots on the side of the Union. and
against the Rebels and their Northern allies.
WOODWARD AND K'OLELLAN.
Below we give several extracts from the
sayings of George . Voodward and George
B. McClellan, which will be read with great
interest at this time :
"In my judgment, our only course is to
withdraw ali our armies north of Maon and
Dixon's line, and o'er terms to the Rebels. "
. . . ". '"Slioull there be a separation,
between the North and the South, I would
prefer th" line to be drawn north of Penn
sylvania." .... "We bear it s:id.
let the South go peaceably. I say let her
go peaceably." Ceo. Yoo luard.
"I desire to state ch arly and distinctly
that, haviner some few d-iv.s at'o had a full
conversation with .Jude Woodward. I rind
llaif e,ur t-ien-n anrre. and I regard his elec
tion for Governor of Pennsylvania called for
bv the interests of the nation." Ceo, B.
McCl'Jlan.
"Woodward says : "our only course is to
withdraw our armies north of Mason and
Dixon's line, and offer terms to the rebels."
McClellan "agree icith Lim."
Woodward says : "should there be a sep
aration. I would prefer the line to he drawn
north of Pennsylvania. " McClellan 'iaarees
icithhim."
Woodward says : "we hear it said, let the
South go peaceably I say let her go peace
ably." McClellan '"agree with him."
Woodward also said : "to think against
slavery is a sin, to spealc against slavery is a
crime." McClellan "agree. icilh him."
Woodward also said : "slavery is an incal
culable blessing. " McClellan "agrees with
am.
Woodward also said, "that the draft was
unconstitutional." McClellan ''agrees iclth
him."
Woodward also said that the soldiers had
no right to vote. McClellan "agrees with
him."
Friends of the Union! the above are the
views of George W. Woodward and George
B. 2IcClelIan. Their "views agree"' in ev
ery particular. Can you longer doubt that
McClellan and his party are in favor of sep
aration in favor of acknowledging the In
dependence of the Southern Confederacy ?
We trow not! Then go to work at once,
and never cease your labors until next Tues
day evening, and the result will -be a tri
umphant victory over the enemies of the U
nion both North and South.
"THE LAW THE CONSTITUTION.,
LTnder the heading of "The Law," the
Clearfcll Republican of last week, publish
es the following words from Purdon's Di
gest, page 3S3," Section 10.
"No body of troops in the Arm v of the
i United States, or oi this Commonwealth,
1 shall be present, either armed or unarmed
1 at any place of election within this Com
j monv. ealth during the time of such election.
j We presume that no person, except the
j editor of the HepnbUcan, or some offender t-
against he laws of the land.has ever thought
of stationing troops nt "any place of eke-
tion." . If such a necessity, however, has !
arisen, the Copperhead leaders them?cives
are resi-onsible for the act. from the fact that !
at tne last election they run a notorious de-
serter, (and row a murderer ) to the i oils, j
under an armed ouard of seven men, and,
had him vote their ticket. Whether the :
authorities have the right to place troops at j

But, we opine, this Section will reach oth

in that they have encouraged the enemies
of our country by threatening to resist the
Conscription law, etc? If so. are they free
from arrest on that day by "troops," either

Will our neigirbnr "stick a pin there."

The D'iDD Trial. The evidence ad
duced in the Dodd trial at Indianapolis
shows that two thirds of Virihindigham's or

in the lodges of Illinois was 4'.U.K0, in Mis

TO THE POLLS ! TO THE POLLS ! !
Remember that next Tuesday is the elec

vote then. The best interests of the Union
demand this of all. Then go to the polls
and vote the Union electoral ticket, and we
shall come out of this contest crowned with
a greater and" more glorious victory over
the enemies of the Union, than that of At

EXAMINE YOUE TICZETS.
As the Copperheads are resorting to. ev

Startling Disclosures!
HOW THE DEMOCRATS EXPEC
TI!D TO CARRY X. YORK 11
FRAl'HS I'l'OX THE SOLDIERS!!!
Astounding discoveries have been made,
during tiie past week, by 'i lie Government,
of a gigantic fraud in regard to the soldiers
vote iu the State of New York. The evi
dence leaves no doubt- that agents of the
Democratic leaders of that State, at Wash
ington, at Baltimore, at Harper's Ferry,
ami in the Army of the Potomac, have put
up many thousands of ballots, purporting to
be those of soldicrs.and forged the signatures
of soldiers who have fallen iu battle or died in
t he hospitals, and of pel sons w ho have no ex-i-tenee
at all to pajers transmitting. proxies
l-r McClelhin and Seymour. When it is
stated that New York soldiers can vote by
pro";y iu other words, by enclosing their
tickets iu an envtlope and sending it home
it will be readilv urderstcod bow this
1 Il'a';'1 ''ouia ,X; suwmui" earned tiirougn.
.Several oi tne agents orgagci m tins ne.a-
rious conspiracy have been arrested, and are
now In jail, aud others wiii be arrested as soon
as he necessary roof can be collected. The
crime is pronounced by Judge Advocate
Holt, "one of the most m-ions character."
A Military Commission has already con
vened at Baltimore, with Gen. Poubledav
as presiding officer, for the trial of two
! of the leading actors. One rf them.
named Donohue, has plead guilty of having
signed certain blanks- with the name of C.
S. Fortune, Captain. Thus the crime is es
tablished beyond the possibility of a doubt,
an J it is to be hoped that prompt punish
ment will follow this outrageous villainy.
Another device, in perfect keeping with,
and doubtless part and parcel of this same
game of rascality, has also been exposed by
Gen. Dix, who in a general order, dated at
New York, October listb, says :
"Satistactory information has born re
ceived by the Major General Commanding,
that nbel agents in Canada design to send
into the United Stales, and colonize at dif
ferent points. Iaree numbers of refugees, deserter-,
and eneV.iies of the Government,
wi'h a 'view t vote at the approaching Pres
idential election' and it is not unlikely when
this service to the rebel cause has ieen per
fi'ri!ie1' ibat they may l organized lur the
purpose oi rhootmg uown i-eaeeable citizens,
1 :Uid phiuderini: private proi-ertv. as in re-
determination of the Maior-Geiieial com
nianding to guard by every possible precau
tion, and to visit on the perpetrators, if
they shall be detected, the most signal pun
ishment. All the classes of persons enu
merated, whether citizens of the insurgent
States, who have been in the rebel service
or engaged in acts of hostility to the Gov
ernment, deserters from the military ser
vice of the United States, or men drafted
or are subject to draft who have fled to
avoid their duty to their country, and are
liable to punishment for the crimes they
have already committed,, no effort will be
spared to arrest,"
It is by such villainous mean? that the
Copperheads expected to carry New York
for McClellan, and explains the seeming con
fidence which the leaders of that State had
in doing so. We do not sec how honest
Democrats can longer stand hj men who are
guilty of attemptingstich outrages against the
soldiers and the country.
