JBt'-j" The Herald of Saturday publish ed w:.>t it represents as a card from a Republican, who. disgusted with the pro duction of Mr. .Nixon's speech iu our pa cer, has deteriniuod to patronize the Iler »id. That's ati old dodge of the Her ald. Last spring a similar maneuver > turough.iotaud to effect the At icau. We undertook then to say that was a weak trick of Mr. Wilsou, could he have avoided the suspicion, he would have douo so. Mr. Nixon had E#rved his country faithfully for three years ;;u. i ree mouths, wo thought it our duty t .e in have an opportunity of 'king i...- ild friends through the r„d>uui u:. paper. If it is msive to ny, we cannot help it; at any rate, tlj man who could be offended by such a speech as the one referred to,and can turn with satisfaction to ihe speech of Valluu dyham, as published iu the Ilcralil, is ( jus.. »uch an individual as should patron ize that, paptir, but we call for the uauie. in the rneau time, we would remind the liuitor of the Herald, that there is .twosides to this matter—were we dispos -ed, we are uot confined to one name which has beeu trausferteu from his list to that of the CiTizi-.v, uot because of bad taste displayed, in selections so much, as be cause of the downright duluyalty of the .editorial columns of"that paper. 1 The Ilerahl m>n in his issue of Saturday, undertakes to read us a second lecture about Major M'Laughlin. We have neither time nor space to follow the subject farther at present than sim j ply to state, that we do not complain of I the Major because he will not support ; Mr. Lincoln, as a Republican ; but be ' cause we hold Mr. Lincoln to be the per sonification of organized loyalty —this is the view taken by thousands of Pemo ; erats all over the country — to whom we owe much for the great Union victories we have achieved over the rltslngedorgani zation to whose fortunes the Major has attached himself, (it was in recognition of this fact too, that Andrew Johnson was pat on the ticket) and in saying this, we j don't wish to be understood, as holding ! all who vote the Copperhead ticket arc j perse disloyal, but we do say that for all j practical purposes they might as well be, ! the vote of that party will be claimed as tho strength Davis & Co., in the north !by all intelligent neutrals. Perhaps the | Major can explain this all away, but there ■ i-i one thing we think, which will be more ' difficult iO explain, that is> why he pro j fessed to be a Lincoln man iu Washing ! ton, and a M'Clellan nun here. The Election \ews. BUTLKR COt'NTV. j The result of the election in this cottn j ty, is quite gratifying to the friends of the 1 and tho Union. Ever | since the commencement of the present war, as the annual election came round. ! it has always been found difficult to get our friends throughout the county, to be lieve that it was even possible for us to I carry the county, without the vote of the soldiers. In response to every call, I our party has dmo t! three-fourths of! the volunteer! ■•—to speak with modera- j tion—it wast that discouraged our i friends, as to lity to retain the : control of tli *• and it is with sur- j prise that we i'ten been asked, how is it that wc arc still able to nnuier up a majority of the home vote ? The answer is easy—there are loyal men in the Demo cratic party —men who cannot bear to sit j in political council with men who arc con-1 tinually i' using their Government, and building ..ieir hope of political ascenden cy upon the destruotion of our armies! many of them have sons in those armies, eonieof whom have laid down their lives in defense of this Union—their fathers are unwilling to see a party gain power. | that, is willing to divide this country! | and this fellow citizens is the reason why | we are able to withstand every fresh surge I of Coppcrheadism. All praise then to ! those genuine patriots who have thus se vered themselves from their party, for the patriotic purpose of saving their country from destruction. Mr. Williams, our Congressional can didate, has forty-two majority on the home voto, and the whole ticket iselcctcd. The Soldier's vote will be received and coun ted on next Friday week, being the 28th inst, which will run up our majority con siderably, although the military situation wiil prevent many of them from voting. When th s vote is received and made pub lic, we will give our readers a full account of the entire vote in tabular form. PENNSYLVANIA. The vote of the State as reported, is still incomplete ; it is, nevertheless, now ! certain that we have carried the State on : the home rote —this in more than the friends of the Union expected, after send ing out such a large volunteer force to reinforce our gallant armies ; they did ex i pect to carry the State by the assistance jof the soldier's vote, and they had no doubt as to their ability to carry the State for " Abe and Andy" in November. But they have been agreeably disappoint . ed. not only carrying the State on the j home vote, but carrying a majority of the mem hers to the lower House; a majority :of the Senate, aud last, but not least, j electing at least four additional members |of Congress' Our present delegation ] stands 12 to 12—we have now elected 10 |or 17, leaving them but 7or 8. This : will make a change of eight or ten in our ISTOI in the next Congress. OHIO. We believe this State had 4 Republi can to 15 Democrats in the present Con ress ; at the late eloction, Ohio has elect e 1 at least 15 Republicans to 4 lJutter i v.a»! thus completely reversing the fig i Lies r.'jd changing the strength of the respective parties in the next Congress -2, in our favor! INDIANA. Last, but uot least, comes this glorious State. Governor Morton was our candi date for re-election ; he had long stood as a wall of tire between the Rebel sympa thisers and their Southern friends, but it was feared that the time had come when loyalty would have togo under in that State. The Loyal pa*ty was greatly weakenod by their liberal response to eve ry fresh call for voluuteers. j The opposition too had generally gone into that disloyal organization, -kuowu 4# the '• Sous of Liberty." Fortunately for the Uuion cause, their treasonable de signs were found out, numerous packages of arms and ammunition shipped at New Yoik, for their use were diseovered ; a grand expose of their treasonable objects followed ! This caused many an honest Democrat to fauiter, and finally fall back from following leaders who would soou have plunged the whole party into overt acts of trear«n ! A wholesonje reaction set in, and the result is before us, in the re-election of Gov. Morton, aud almost the whole delegation to Congress—not more than two Butternuts will he return ed iu a delegation of ten! 1 ertuinly this i« glory enough for one day, even without considering its effects upon the Novem ber election. Hut embracing its controll ing influence upon thatelection, the great benefits of the Union victory on the ltth inst. is incalculable—securing as it does, beyond a peradventure, the re-election of Mr. Lincoln—the speedy restoration ot the Union, and the domination office principles in this nation. com n i \i< vrioxs. HAKRISBI'RO, Oct. 14. 1 5(54. MESSRS. EDITOTS :—ln the engage ment of last Tuesday, the right of out army was very success!ul, almost annihi lating the rebel army in Indiana, captur ing over ten thousand prisoners who have all taken the oath of allegiance, and have beeu mustered intothe rnnksof the Union army. In the centre, the army of Ohio repulsed the enemy handsomely, leaving over forty thousand of their wounded on the field. The rebel General Pendleton was slain. The left had the hardest fight of the war, but maintains its ground no bly. • • Our skirmishers have driven the enemy within one mile of the South Side Rail road, and as far as heard from, the enemy lost seven to our one. No news from Sheridan, but the Commissioners have not returned, and tho probability is they reached the army, and wo will soon hear of another victory in tho valley. The engagement of Tuesday extended to the hespitals, where the sick and wounded, with the exception of about one in twen ty, fired another shot at treason ; but 1 must say these veterans were poorly sup ported by the reserves; their friends at home. I was busy nearly all day distrib uting blanks, &<;., but I saw while at the polls a poor man with one leg, trying to shoot, but he had no ammunition; could not some friend at home buy him a car tridge and send to him before November? They onlyeost ten cents. Now all I have to say is, i/o to work; this battle will be renewed on the Bth of November. Let every soldier bo provided with ammuni tion. Let every Union man come out with a stick with a wide awake lamp. Light tho torch ot Liberty as you did in 180 ■'. Organize, assess, pay your taxes, turn out, and the Bth of November, 18(34* will be as memorable as the day St. Pat rick drove the snakes out of Irelaud. * B@°* We have been furnished )>y a friend, the following extract from the Minutes of tho General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, which met in the city of Newark, New Jersey, on the 10th of .Vlay. 18(34. The Committee on Bills and Over tures report. Overture No 12, from the Presby tery of Newton, reei ing the former deliverances of the General Assem bly upon the subject of slavary in this country, and the duty of eman cipation, and asking this General Assembly to take such action as in their wisdom seems proper to meet the present aspects of human bond age in our country, anil recommend the adoptionof the following: In the opinion of the General As sembly, the solemn and momontous circumstances of our times, the state of our country, and the condition of our Church, demand a plain declar ation of its sentiments upon the ques tion of slavery, in view of its pres ent aspects in this country. From the earliest period of our Church, the General Assembly de'iv ered unequivic,al testimonies upon this subject, which it will bo profitable now to reaffirm. In the j'ear 1787, the Synod of New York and Philadelphia, in view of movements then on foot looking to the abolition of slavery, and high ly approving of them, declared that "inasmuch as men introduced from a servile state to a participation of all the privileges of civil society, with out a proper education, and without previous habits of industry, may 1 e in many respects, dangerous to> the community, therefore they earnestly recommend to all the members be longing to their community to give these persons who are at present held in servitude such good educa tion as to prepare them for the bet ter enjoyment of freedom." * ♦ " And finally they recommend it to all their people to use the most pru dent measures consistent with the interest and the state of civil society in the countries where they live, to, procure eventually the final abolition of slavery in America." In 1795, the General Assembly "assured all the churches under their care that they view with the deepest concern any vestiges of sla very which may exist in our coun try." In 1815 the following record was made : The General Assembly have repeated y declared their cordial approbation of those principles of civil liberty which appear to be rec ognized by the federal and state gov ernments in these United States. They have expressed their regret that the slavery of the Africans and of their descendants still continue in so many places, and even among those within the pale of the Church, and have urged the Presbyteries under their care to adopt su h measures as will secure, at least to the rising generation of slaves, within the bounds of the Church, a religous ed ucation, that they may be prepared for the exercise and enjoyment o! liberty, when God : n his providence may open a door for their emancipa tion." The action of the General Assem bly upon the subject of slavery in the year I'SIS is unequivocal and so well known that it need not be reci ted at length. The folk ring ex tracts however we regard as applica ble to our present circumstances, and proper now to be reiterated: '• We consider the voluntary ensla ving of one portion of the human race by another as a gross violation of the most precious and sacred rights of human nature, as utterly incon sistent with the law of O d, which requires us to love our neighbor as ourselves, and as totally irreconcila ble with the spirit and principles of the gospel of Christ, which enjoins ' that all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do v? even so to them.' Slavery creates a para dox in the moral system. It exhib its rational, moral, and accountable beings in such circumstances as scarcely to leave theui the power of moral action. It exhibits them as dependent on the will of others, wheth er thi y shall receive religous instruc tio , whether they shall know and worship the true God. whether they shall enjoy the ordinances of the gospel, whether they perforin the duties and cherish the endearments of husbands ami wives, parents and children, neighbors and friends: whether they shall preserve their chastity and purity, or regard the dictates of justice ami humanity. Such are some of the consequences of slavery—consequences not imagina ry, but which connect themselves with its. very existence." * * * From this view of the consequen ces resulting from the practice, into which Christian people have most in consistently fallen, of enslaving portion of their brethren of mankind . . . it is manifestly the duty of all Christians, who enjoy the light of the present day, when the incon sistency of slavery, both wit 1, the dic tate of humanity an I of religion has been demonstrated, and is generally seen and acknowledged, to use their honest, earnest, and unwearied en deavours to correct tho errors of for mer as speedily as possi ble to etlace this blot on ou 1 holy re ligion, and to obtain the complete ab olition ot slavery throughout Christ endom, and if possible throughout the wo. 11." They earnestly exhorted those por tions of tlio Church where the evil ot slavery had been entailed upon them, "to continue, and, if possible, to increase their exertions to effect a total abolition of slavery, anil to suf -I'eryio greater delay to take place in ♦this most interesting concern than a regard to public welfare truly and I indispensable demands;" and declare " that our country ought to be gov erne 1 in this matter by no other con sideration than an honest and impar tial rcgifrd to the happiness of the injured party, uninfluenced by the ex pense or inconvenience which sueli a regard-may involve warning " all who belong to our denomination of Christians against unduly extending this plea of necessity ; against ma king it it cover for the love Aid prac tice of slavery, or a pi*teneo for not using efforts that are lawful and prac ticable to extinguish this evil." Such were the early and unequiv ocal instructions of our Church. It is not necessary too minutely toin quire how fa thful and obedient to to these lessons and warnings to | those whom they wore addressed j have been. It ought to be acknowl | edged that we have alt much to con ! less and lament as to our shortcom ings in this respect. Whether a strict and carefu application of this advice would have rescued the coun try from the evil of its condition, and the dangers which have since ♦.hreatened it, is known to the Om niscient al >ne. VS hi Ist we do not be lieve that the present judgments of our Heavenly rather, and Almighty and ikighteous Governor, have been inflicted solely in punishment for our continuance in this sin ; yet it is our judgment that the recent events of our history, and the present condi tion ol our Church and our country, furnish manifest tokens that the time has at length come, in the providence of God, when it is /lin wilt that every vestige of human slavery among us should be ejfaced, and that every I Christian man should address him \ self with industry and earnestness to \ his appropriate part in the perform ance of thisgrevt duty. Whatever excuse for its postpone ment. may heretofore have existed, no longer avail. When the country was at peace within itself, and the Church wag unbroken, many con ciences were perplexed in the pres ence of this great evil, for th» want of an adequate rein' dy. Slavery was so formidably intrenched behind the ramparts of personal interests and prejudices, that to attack it with a view to its speedy overthrow ap peared to be attacking the very ex~- istence of the social ordor itself, and was characterized as the inevitable introduction of an anarchy, worse in its consequences than the evil for which it seemed to be the only cure. Hut the folly and weakness of men have been the illustrations of God's wisdom and power. Under the in fluence of tho most incomprehensible infatuation of wickedness, those who were most deeply interested in the perpetuation of slavery have t< ken away every motive for its further tol eration. The spirit of American slavery, not content with its defences to be found in the laws of the States, the provisions of the Federal Consti tution, the prejudices in favour of ex isting institution, and the fear of change, has taken arms against law, organized a bloody rebellion aganst the national authority, made formid able war upon the Federal Union, and in order to found an empire up the corner-stone of'slavery, threat ens not only our existence as a peo ple, but the annihilation of the prin iples of free Christian government; and thus has rendered the continu ance of negro slavery incompatible with the preservation of our own lib erty and independence. In the struggle of the nation for existence against this powerful and wicked treason, the highest executive authorities have proclaimed the abo lition of slavery within most of the rebel States, and decreed its extinc tion by military force. They have enlisted tinge formerly held as slaves to be soldiers in the national armies. They have taken measures to organ ize the labor of th ■ freemen, and in stituted measures for their support and government in their new condi tion. It is the President's declared policy not to consent to the reorga-ri ination of civil government within the .-deeded States upon any othe basis than that of emancipation. In the loyal St.'ites where slaver)' has not been abolished, lueasuresof emancipation on different stages of progress, have been set on foot, and are near their consumma tion ; and propositions for an amendment to the Federal Constitution, prohibiting slavery in all the Stales and Territories, are now pending in the national Congress. So that, iti our present situation, the in terests oi peace and of social order are identified with the success of the cause of emancipation. The difficulties which formerly seemed insurmountable, in the providence of God, appear now tube al most removed. The most formidable re maining obstacle, we think, will be found to be the unwillingness ot the human heart to see and accept I he truth against the prejudices of habit and interest; and to act towards those who have been hereto fore degraded as slaves, with the charity of Christian principles in.the necessary efforts to improve and elevate them. In view, therefore, of it.-? former tc.sti ! monies upon the subject, tlie General As semblage does hereby devoutly express ! itsgvatitudc to Minighty tied for having overruling the w.cke Itics and calamities of the rebellion, so as to work out the de liverance of our country from the evil and guilt of slavery; its earnest desire for the extirpation of slavery, a« the root of bitterness from which has sprung rebel lion, war. and bloodshed, an 1 the Ion" list of horrors that follow in their train: its earnest trust that'the thorough remo val of this prolific source of evil and harm will be speedily followed by the blessing! of our Heavenly Father, the return of pease, union and fraternity, and abounding prosperity to the whole land ; and recommend ti» all in our communion to l.ibor honestly, earnestly and unweari e l!y in their respective spheres for this glorious consummation, to wjtirh human justice. Christian love, national peace and prosperity, every earthly and every reli gous interest, combine to pledge them.

It introduces it as follows: —"On passing through the Columbia, South Caroliua, on his return to Richmond, President Davis treated the ' citizens to anothe. jf hisspeeches. Tliero is nothing new or striking in it. Ho travels over pretty much the same grounds as he did iu his speech at Macon, Mont gomery aud Augusta. We take from the (hiardian'i report of his speech the fol lowing extract: President Davis alluded to the repeat ed efforts which had been made by the government to open negotiations for peace ami to the hoStile spirit and temper ia which all such advances had been met. He treat) d our recognition by foreign states as an Ujnitws/a/tin, glaring but ie-> lusive. There was one sign of foreign favor which could not deceive. It was always exhibited when Confederate victor ies took place. It was the advance of i ton federate stocks in the foreign markets. It showed upon what the action of for eign states naturally rested. Their favor will necessarily follow successes which will laad to and end in out independence. Tho President said that ho had just returned from the Army of Tennessee, and brought from it only words of good cheer, lthad increased in strenght and risen in sotfl. '■ Its march wasornvard, 80 far ns (it' could judge the strategy of General Hood was good and his conduct gallant; His eye was on a point of the communica tions of the enemy far beyond tllatttherer he had been assailed. If but n half or even a fourth of those whofthovld join him would promptly do so, there would be ncr alternative ti>r Sherman but defeat «» dis astrous retreat, and he would within thif tv days be found crossing the Tennessee Kiver. But within that time much would have to be done to insure these aus|icous results. Absentees from the army must promptly return to it. Others who owe the country service and have thus far elu ded or avoided it, must faithfully pay tho debt and place themselves without delay in th e armies of Tennesseeand Virginia." October mid I lie Presidency. The Unionists of Indiana have settled a'l (juestion as to tho vote of f/iciV State tor President. We consider her, after Kentucky, Missouri, Delaware and New- Jersey, tlie Slate most likely to cast her vote for McClellau; and we felt certain (as we now do) that notiliy LleeWnd Votes can be given to the Chicagrt ticket u.ile.-s by the aid of this State. Aua ye, tliero lives to-day no American, qualified to sit on a jury, who does not know that she will choose Lincoln electors on tho Bth of next month. . Let us here statu a fact that li s caM - ally come to our knowledge, aud which ■ illustrative ot the late una peudiuy; eau vass: Tho Unionists of Indiana, feeling that they had a right to the vo'es ot the.r fel low-citizens serving their country in tho fitld , and that they were likely to need them, dispatched, some two or thiee weeks since, a gentleman of high character to Washington to solicit furloughs lor nl! the soldiers from, that Suite—or, if all could not l>e spared, then fir so many of them as could be. 'i hey desired no par tiality—uo picking aud culling—they, wished regiments in fail .-.cut home indis criminately, and tho more tho better. '1 heir agents was cordially welcomed, ad milted confidentially toun lusiUe view of the Military situation, aud asked whether he could conscientiously aitvise the with~ drawal, oven for a week, of even one reg iment front the service, lie could not re spond affirmatively; he gave up tho ijuos t and went on his way. Ami our armies in the field have not been weakened by a single regiment, to strengthen the Union cause lor the recent I,lections. A few soldiers have been furlouglied, mainly froui hospitals; but the Xndiaiiiansdeprn - ed of their votes by icason of their ab sence trim In.me hi the National sirvice, w,uld have given nearer 'iwonty 'thous and than 'len Thousand majority tor tho Union ticket. Yet Indiana is carried high and dry by the I uionists, who ha\o inauc a cleaner sweep of the State than any party ever made before. Their Pres idential canvass is virtually endgd, and they can henceforth help their less fortu nate neighbors. And all do know that, wln.li fnitiana goes this way. neither illi llO.S nor any oilier fcialo ol the !• ice VV ust ii likely togo the other. Oi Ohio, less need be said, because her Unionists have neither been distrust ful nor d'Strusled. Nobody imagine that they would again pile up such an enor mous majority as that whereby she last year elected V allanuigliam to stay in Can ada; but all telt that she must go as she went last year, though not so overwhelm ingly.
