Fifty Cents for Three Months.
In order to place' the Ossinviti within
the reach of all who desire to read sound'
Union doctrines, we have decided to take
subscribers for the space of three months,
commencing with the 641 of August, and
ending with the next lune after the Pres
idential election. The Price wflt be Firm
Cairn, inveriabfy in Each subscrip
tion will be promptly discontinued at the
expiration of the time,- unless other direct
lions are given by the persons receiving
the paper. •
We earnestly urge the Democrats of
Erie, Warren, Crawforc! . and Ashtabula
counties to make a special effort - to in
crease the .circulaticin •of the Daum*
during the exciting and important politi
cal campaign so soon to•open. Let no
man wait upon his neighbor to commence
the work of obtaining subscriptions, but
enter upon it himself, with energy, deter
mination and persistency.' The crisis de
mands the services of all, and no one can
excuse himself who fails to perforrn his
duty in this hour of his country's danger.
We should have . at least two - thousand
campaign subscribers on our' books before
the close of August. Let others do their duty
ad we will not jail to perform ours .

D. W. HUTCHINSON,
Ginrd, Aug. 8, 1884. Chairman
tr. Greeley en tie Peen Secreestat:
An attempt ig being made by the Re
publican leaders to deceive the people
into the impression that the Confederate
commissioners at Niagara offered" no en
ocuragement that the South would agree
to a• restoration of the Union, under pro
per pledges that their rights would be re
spected in. such an event. 9n this point we
fortunately have `the testimony_ of one
whose authority will not be *touted by
the adherenta of the administration. It is
that - of no less an individual than Mr.
Greeley, who, in the Tribune of July 30th,
thus answers an inquiry addressed to him
by. the World:
The Copperhead oracle of one city thus
'modestly propounds :
"We request Mr. Greeley to tell the
country, explicitly, whether his
tion in the late peace movement. an
effort toward disunion. "
dancer.—No, sir 1 Is' that plain f
We were first impelled to make an ef
fort to bring about a conference between
authorised representatives of the respec
tive belligerents by learning, through va
rious channels, that certain distinguished
Confederates, then and now in Canada,
were.holding out to the leading Demo
ends, who flocked over the river to confer
with them, that peace might be had on a
basis, not of disunion, but of Union. We
heard, more specifically, that Ron. C. C.
Clay, under certain circumstances or con
ditions, intended to write a letter in this
spirit to be read at theDemocratioNational
Convention, atChicago. Mr. Sanders' pub.
limbed dispatch, foreshadowing a peace on
a basis advantageous add acceptable to
"both sections," also pointed plainly to a
Union peace. Renee our action.
We submit, that, after such an explicit
statement from one so high is the confi
dence of the President and his party, the
editor or the public speaker who deliber
. ately asserts that there is no disposition
on the part of the j rebels to swede to
peace on the basis of a reconstructed
Un ion, must be pOssesSed of slight,intelli
genoe himself, or .have little respect for
the intelligence of his readers.
Tye New York Commercial Acivertiisr says
that "if a reliable assurance could be given
to the people of the South that the Fede
ral Constitution and its strict maintenance
were the sole ultimatum of peace, the re
bellion would cease -within three months.n
The ooncarrent testimony of every man in
a position to learn anything of , the spirit
and the wishes of the Bauthern-• people
leads to the same impression. The South
ern masses are as tired of• the war as we
of the North, and only wait for the right
hand of justice and conciliation to be ex
tended to them to glazily renew their old
time fellowship with us. Let the truth
be kept before the people, that it is only
Abraham Lincoln and his followers, with
their mad notions on the "abandonment
of slavery," confiscation and negro equali
ty, that stand in the way of Peace and a
so-united country ; and that to tarry out
these favorite objects of theirs they intend
to continue the war to an indefinite p
a:lca, with all its accumulated horrors of
death, suffering, taxation and debt.

has been turned for some years back with
the idea that he, of all the man in the

"previous to the opening of this present',
campaign, as is weU known in Washing

Davis offering to end this war on terse whi4
would prom satisfactory to loth parties. Davis,
said he wished to spare the useless 6;1;111001
of blood. He would guarantee on behalf,
of the South. if not the old Union in all
integrity, a Union that would answer the;
same purpose—that is, o Union with one
code of oommercial laws, and one foreign
policy. What further agreement will be
arrived at was . a matter for the discussion
of the people of the several States.
"Them propositions wen discussed in
Cabinet council s and, strange to say, the
only one who favored them was i no other.
than Mr. Chase, the same who had op
posed peace only a year previciosly. Mr.
Chase had found in. the conduct of the,
finances that the limit of exhaustion was al.:
most within resobAnd that t ar i foranothei
year on the present colossal wale was
ply impiataible,inconsistent with the honor
and financial integrity of the nation,—
Hence Mr. Chase was in favor of treating
the proposition of Jeff. Davis with conk;
deration. ' But the . Cabinet " was generally
opposed to it, and reasoned that Daiii and
his 'armies Mast really be in • very bid:
condition Or the offer would not have been:
made. They theiefore determined ;o,try:
the issue of another campaign. The cam
paign has been tried, and its resin is he-I

Friday last General Sherman hasktoted on

tacks have been made upon. his position
on the north branch of Pesolt Tree creek.
They were feeble, however, and easily re

attempt to recover his former poiition on
the south aide of the creek. •
Details copied from Georgia papers of
another battle in. front of -Atlaita, show
that the rebels claimed it as a decisive
and complete victory; that they captured
artillery, prisoners and oolqri, and drove
Sherman over a mile. People, however,
Were leaving Atlanta, as Sher:lutes shells
were dropping freely in the city.,
On the contrary, General Thomas has
issued. a complimentary order to his
troops, congratulating- them " upon the
brilliant success attending the Union army
in the late battles." He elaina that "in
the tattle of the 20th, our total loss was
1,733; of the rebels not less than 6,000,
not less than 900 of ihom were killed and
buried." In the battle oldie 22d, General
Thonias puts the total Union liaises at
7,500 'men and tea guns. (Hood claimed
