The jjfcblie are cordially invited to at 'tend. &sn. A meeting will be held in the Arbitration room, in 13utler, on Saturday evening the 17th inst., at 7 o'clock, for the purpose of organizing a LINCOLN Club. Let all friendly to the good eau-e .be present. girjy- \\*e have just received a letter from A. M. Brown, Esq., Chairman of the I'n ion Executive Committee of Allegheny county, informing us that our "friends of Allegheny have fixed upon THURSDAY, September 29th inst., for holding a Grand Union Masts Meeting in Pittsburgh. We hope our friends will bear this in mind, and as far as consistent with local duty, assist in making this a grand affair. Who min(K I'IIII ? All who enjoy a great amount of fun and take a good old fashioned laugh, can do so by visiting Lake & Co's., (ireat Western Circus, which is to be in llutlor, on Thursday, the 22(1 day of this month. It is brilliant beyond precedent, and com prises a large troupe of Equestians, Ac rabats, Trick Horses, &c. A sight of John Lowlow, the comical (Mown, is worth half the money it costs to see the mam moth concern. * MT W c arc not specially advised as •to the number of townships which have filled their quotas, and thereby avoided the draft. The borongh of Butler, Butler tp., Clinton, Middlesex, Adams, Forward, Jackson, Lancaster, Muddycrcek. Brady, Worth, Centre, Concord, ('lay. Franklin, Connoquoncssing, we believe are all out, we think it probable that Buffalo and Slippcryrock arc also out, but don't know, also the borough's of Zelienople, Pros pect, Saxonburg, and Cetitreville, we think are also clear. Other districts may yet escape the draft; but some we believe have decided to patiently wait their lot, and cheerfully submit. As a general rule we have favored vol unteering ; but will be willing to sec the armies filled in whatever way is most agreeable to the local districts. K&>~ We have retained the premium list, Committees, &c., in our paper this week, so that all interested may have a full opportunity of perusing them. We trust they will preserve this paper fur rel crence, as we will lie compelled to take this matter out of our next. The harvest rains have been abundant, the hills are abundantly covered with ver dure, promising plenty for man and beast; we hope therefore, that all will take hold and make our approaching Fair a success. Bring out your stock and have them com pared with those of your neighbor. Al so your grain and poultry. Let all departments and both sexes unite in making the Fair a grand success. In this way only can we improve our stock, our grain, our vegetables, our farjj ming and other impliments. JSaTln this weeks paper will be found a correct copy of the late elcdßon law, made necessary by the amendment lately adopted, to our state constitution, allow ing the soldiers tho right to vote. To the Republican party alone belongs the credit of carrying through this very just meas ure. The Copperheads in the Legisla ture, threw every obstacle in their way, but they overcame all opposition, both in the Legislature and before the people, refutiug falsehoods and slanders, and thus carrying the matter through in spite of opposition. ROJIMI MC'ATIOX. m For the Citizen. Mil. EDITOR :—I see the Democrats of j'our town arc organizing for a very "vigor -om prosecution of peace," and in their , COUIMJ-convention I see they actually ask ed the sttMiers for our votes. Now I want to know if they have not insulted ns enough. They on the 2d day of August last, went to the polls and voted agaiust giving us a right to vote in the army, and now they turn around and want us to vote for them. Could there be a greater in sult; after having done us all the injury ffcey gould, by wanting to put us on the name footing with criminals, who, on ac count «112 their crimes, have forfeited their votes? Or do they think we arc as cow ardly and as false in our duty to our coun try as they aru. Tlu; soldiers I can inform them, understand something of polities and the nature of the coming elections, and will votefornone but good Union mm, who arc for puttiug down the rebellion for «ver. A Woi'NDlD SOI,DIER. Fro;n the Dctipit Free "PreMS, Aug. 4. The Seven-Thirl) Cioverttiiieut Loan. The Secretary of the Treasury lias made an appeal to the people for a loan of two hurtdred millions erf dollars. This appeal, although responded to promptly in some sections, has been received with a different feeling in souie others. This, it seems to us, is a grave mistake. The Government is iu debt, and it must have money to pay the soldiers in the field, the sailors on the ocean, and to meet the cur rent daily expenses incurred. Congress has made the appropriations. It will nev er do for the people who own the govern i merit to say that individually they will | not pay the debts contracted by their rep i resentatives assembled in Washington. : This is repudiation, and repudiation is : disgrace the world over. Jf the people think that the money which has been ap propriated has been squandered reckless ly, if iliey believe the war might have been avoided with the exercise of ordina ry wisdom, or conducted with more ener gy and more success, they have the reme dy in their own hands, and that remedy is to change their representatives iu Con gress and select a new President. The remedy is not repudiation, or to even fal ter in the prompt payment of the debt already contracted. Kvery individual in the State has a personal interest in the discharge of every obligation contracted, and to sustain the credit of the govern ment above even a suspicion. The pay ment of our debts is a question quite out side ot the ordinary political discussions. We are living under a system of written laws. We are a nation of freemen, each one of which has a direct interest in the Government, and if it falls, the failure will more or less reflect upon the wisdom and patriotism of each and every one in the community. We may differ widely as to the best poiijy to pursue to accom plish a certain end, which all ardently de sire, but when that policy has been deci ded upon, and obligations contracted, it is the imperat svt- duty of every one to sus tain the government, so as to enable it to meet promptly all of its liabilities. The ruin of the government financially, is the prostration of every individual in it. If the government bonds will not sell, what arc State and city and county or individ ual obligations worth? What security is of any value, if we have no government to enforce obligations. If these views are correct,there is no one thing more important at this time than to sustain the credit of the government. This can be done with ease if the people will but invest a small part of their sur plus in government securities. srr.ci 11, \OTM I;S.
