Tee edit4:4 of the Observer had the plea
_sure of attending a meeting of t- the State
Central Committee, at Pittsburg, in the
early part of the week, and was very much
gratified with the' information obtained.
Almost every member present gave en
couraging reports of the progress of politi
cal truth in bin section, and there was but
one sentiment in regard to the prospects
in the State, and that was the confidence
of a complete victory. The' Chairman f p;;lf
the :Committee, Col. Ward, a
_cautious
and reliable gentleman, has no hesitation
in expressing the belief that nothing less
than plain and overwhelming knavarY
can prevent Iten. McClellan from eisrrying
New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
the three Stites of which his acquaintance
and information give hifri the best oppor
tunities of judging.
giether Draft.
Indications have for some time past
pointed to the probability of another draft
being called for in a brief interval after
the Presidential election. Everybody
knows that onr losses during the put
summer have been extraordinarily large,
and several important_ points have been
almost stripped of troops in order tha;t
Grant's, Sheridan's and Sherman's•artniel;
might be kept filled up to their necessary
proportions. We have •no hesitation in
making the prediction that before the Ist
of January the 'President will make a call
for troops to the extent of 500,000 at the
least. The Iteimblicatis will undoubtedly
deny this, and say that we are endeavor!.
ing to frighten the people, in order to ad
vance our party purposes ; but• they will
find that we are quite as correct in this
assertion as we have bean in hundreds of
others that they ridiculed and denounced.
Oar real dpl recollect how they did
the same*hing last year, when we prophe
sied that if Curtin was elected, it would
be taken by the administration as an ap
provallottheir policy, and that they would
follow •it up with an 'immediate call for
troops. The people saiv-proper to re-elect
Governor Curtin, under the niistaken
lief that there would be no more drafts,
and the, facts verified our declaration, ,for
it was not a month before another Con
• scription was ordered - , and it has been fol
lowed up by two or three-more. , If the
voters of this nation see fit to believe the
• lying assertions of the Republican leaders,
after the repeated proofs they have had
that they are unworthy of credence, they
must blame no one for the consequences
but themselves. The re-election of Lin
coln teasel stop the war,but on thezontra.
ry,prolong it,and render it three-fold more
awful than it. has been in the past. Four
yeara more Lincoln is four years more of
bloody battles, of increasing debt and tax
ation., and of steadily recurring conscrip
tions. And we beg leave to assure the
citizens of Erie county that the drafts we
have 4tl heretofore are comparatively as
nothing in those that will ensue. We shall
have no more calls for one year men, but
they will .be for three years or the war.
No com mutation law will allow of your
escape by the payment of money, - but they
will demand the body of the min drawn
• ,or a substitute. An(kif you • suppote the
;latter will be easily obtained, you will find
• your mistake when it is too late: If you
look about and see how fow there are Wi
lling to peril their lives in the army " for
leve or money," you will soon cenClude
that substitutes for thrse years will be about
as acme In article as could be named.

Hon. Herschel V. Johnson, of Georgia,

letter, in which he makes the ismerticas
"that before the assembling Of the Chia&
go Convention, about the middle
gust, the President sent one of Ids old'And
confidential friends to prOpoile to General
McClellan that if he would deClinci to be
a candidate for the PresidenCY before the
Chicago .Convention,' and would' consent
to throw the weight of his influence with
the Democratic -party In favor 9f the Re

sition, civil and military; in the gift of the
President when re-elected, and that- the
whole influence of 'the next adminiatra
tion should be thrown in his (McClellan's)
favor for the succession."'
In connection with this statement Gen. '
Naglee calls ittantion to the following
extract from a speech delivered by Ex-
Postmaster General Blair, in New t , York
city on the 29th of September d •
"On his (Vallandigham's) motion, every
voice that had been raised to fury against
the nomination of McClellan was adenoid,
and .the vote in his favor made unani
mous. There was a potent' spell in his'
voice that tilde 'a cessation of hostilities,'
'a convention of the States,' of course as
equals and independent, and a quo:adorn
chief of the Federal army-.-(one whom to
'the last I believed to_be true to the cause
in which his country is embarked, and, I
may add, whom the President held to be
patristic, and had concerted with General
Grant to bring again into the. field as his
adjunct, if he turned his back on the pro
posals of the peace juneto at, Chicago)—to
Liktvd the last assault pressed. by Southern
Conspirators, oountensnoed by foreign
powers, against the institutions of the

The talk about a disgradeful peace an d
the rest of the partisan claptrap in the
above paragraph is of no - value ; 'the im
portant part is that which'retates to Pres
ident Lincoln's proposition to Gen. Mc-
Clellan. We wish the whole Anierican
people th r ponder these statements and
mark their' significance. They will learn,
from this publics announcement, made hy
a gentleman, who, as a membei of Mr.
Lincoln's .Cabinet, has shared his confi
dence in an unsurpassed degree, that both,
the President and • Gen. Grant have full
Confidence in Gen. McCh3flan's
capacity insomuch that it had been "can t
certed" betrreert...llrFzLlneoln and 'the
Lieutenant General that General MoClel-
lan should be the adjunct of the baiter.
They will further learn from thii . eitrtior-
Ainary announcement that the President
has no objections to Gen. iacClellan save
such as spring from • the position of politi
cal rivalry into which the latter has been
thrown by the chicage Convention. If
General McClellan had , been .willing to
14120134100 the nomination conferred by
,that body, he would have been immedi
ately theraupon a good enough general to
be the "adjunct" of Gen; Grant in his dif
ficult and responsible duttea.
After this statement we shall hope to_
hear no reflections on the military capaci:
ty of Gen. McClellan from any friend of
Mr. Lincoln ; for any such reflection& can.
only imply that the President, in his sat
isfaction at getting rid of a dresfled politi
cal 'rival, would have been willing to put

is as significant as it is surprising. The
friends of truth and of justice, equally
with the friends of Gen. McClellan, ought
to be grateful to Mr.. Blair for the aid he
has brought to them, by scattering at a

question which interests every man, wo

clusion may be drawn from the following
declarations from prominent Republican
sources :

I try every way and cannot cypher out

on subjugating the South—governing it by
bullets and ballots—and •so long as the

Douglas on Republican Victories.
The ftill value of Republican victories
will be estimated by the historian as Sen
ator Douglas estimated them. In one of
his last speechel in the Senate, in March,
1881, he said to a Republican Senator : .
Mr. Douglas—lf I did not defet you it
was not my fault. I used my beat efforta
to do it.
Mr. Clark—You could not quite come'
it.
Mr. Douglas—l could not quite come it,
and you see the • consequenees. Seven
States out of the Union, civil war is im
pending upon yon, commerce is interrup
ted, confidence destroyed, the country
going to-pieces, just because I could not
defeat you. No man 'in America believes
these consequences would have resulted
it I had been successful in my efforts to
defeat you. You can boast that you have
defeated me, but you have defeated your
country with me. You can boast that you
have triumphed over me, but you have
triumphed over the unity of these States.
Your triumph his brought disunion, and
God only knows what consequenttee they
grow out of it.

It, is not worth while to waste time with
the radicals in disputing as to the 'small
question whether our majorities fuldjeips,
are two or. three thousand more or less.
It is enough to know that, with all the
enormous expenditure which has been,
poured - out by the administration Party,
to the amount of three quarters of a mil-_
lion dollars in Pennsylvania, with $ll the
frauds thatrxml4 be practiced . by an un
'scrupulous party in power, the pats for
the Democratic ticket are enormous,
and
are uniform in all parts of the State. The
avalanche is sweeping through Pennsyl
_Tanis. The November election, if it obeys
the: - old laws of: Pennsylvania elections,'
will. give gigantic majorities for McClel
lan. Such is the lesson of reason and ei
perience. ' , .
It is not necessary to call attention to
the fact that a Congressional election failti
to poll the same vote as a Presidential.
Not only local and personal causes inter
fere, but the absence of personal conside
rations relating to the-Presidential candi
dates is of, great importance. Thousands
will vote for personal friends, Republican
candidates' for Congress, who would not
vote for Abraham Lincoln., Other thou
sands will vote for McClellan who would
not vote for a local Democratic Congree
sional ticket. For it is notorious that all
the personal considerations are in favor of
McClellan and against Lincoln. 1
The grand fact_ 'stands out ; that Penn
sylvania is now assured for McClellan.
And with Pennsylvania he will be elected.
We will not stop to count' up States to.
day. We propose to our friends 'now to
put on the harness and go to work again.
The victory is alresdy within our grasp,
and we now work for a greater victory
still. Make it magnifitient,
Let us carry Ohio. Brough's majority
ea the home vote' last year was 62,000.
The highest claim this year on the same

changes. We see no reason why the cur
rent now setting so strongly in our faior
should not be made to carry the State for
McClellan in November. Indiana an 4

'Gallen. The power of force and fraud
has_ been more terrible in Indiana than

gage your - farm for half its value for your
share in defraying the expense 1' Why, dear
teats, it fi already mortgaged to nearly that
extent, sad every yeer the war is ciontinue4
patches this mortgage with another on the
back of it. Girt your attention a moment,
and we will make this as plain as the rail - fence
that divides your farm from your neighbor's
You must, of course, see that the public debt,
Is a mortgage on the property of the whole
country; for this property milky be taken by
rich law to pay it. If you were so as to own
half the property, yen would owe half of the
debt; If you owned a hundredth or. a' thou.
sandth part of the property, you would owe
,a hundredth or a thousendtkpart of the debt,
that is; your share of the debt is, just in pro
-portion torpor-share of the property. 'Now,
it so happens that this is a thing that is easily
got at; so that if you will teltas the value of
your farm we will tell you what part of it is
already mortgaged to the Government. We
are not going to' impose upon you by. any
statements which we have cooked up to serve
a purpose; the figures-we will use are taken
from documents prepared by Republican offi
cials; and at for the arithmetic, you are just
as competent to Verify our calculations as we
are to make them. So, good farmer Gripedel
lar, give heed !
If you will call on the member of Congress
for your district, or at any newspaper office in '
your county, you can get - an opportunity to
examine a book prepared by Mr. Kennedy,
Chief .of, the Census Bureau, coataining the
figures of the fith_centne. Tare to page one
hundred and you Will' find a Mble giving the
assessed vans of all the real estate in every
State and fterritory in the United States. You
will observe by the footing up at the bottom of
the column that it amounts in all to $6,9710
106,049. If you will then take out and add
together the figures representing the real es'
late of the slave- States, the amount will be
$2,877,904,367. ' Subtracting this from the
whole you will have left $4,595,191,692 as the
total assessed value of all the land and buildings
in the free,States and the territories ; of which
yourdiiitaind the buildings and improVenenta
upon it are apart. •Now, in finding the debt
which stands against this property, we will
lead you on ground which you must regard as
equally solid. Look up almost any file of a
city paper of July laic, and you will find in
the financial column an official statement of
the public debt, as it existed on the 6th of
July, purporting to be taken from the books
of the Treasury _Department, .and signed iby
the acting Secretary of the Treasury. Amid
lug to this statement, the debt - was at that dice
'51,792,867,040. Aj few, days previoui to the
publication of these • figures, the Becrefol
made a semi-offiaiati'statement that the debt
was then increasing it the rate of $2,500,000
a day. There have intervened since the sth
of July up to this; 26th day of September,
eighty-three days, Which, at that rate, would
bring an addition th the debt of $217,500,000,
which added to the amount on the sth of July,
makes the present debt $2,010,867,040. 'There
are the best reasons for supposing the debt to
be much larger, bat we 'take the official figures
because they cannot expose usito any imspi
clan of exaggeration.
With these dates, it is easy to determine the
amount of mortgage which rests - on any par
ticular farm by reason of the public debt. If
the farm be worth $9,000, it is mortgaged to
the Government •for $4,000; if it is worth
$4,500, it is mortgaged for $2,000 ; and in the
like proportion for any larger or smaller value.
Nearly half of your farm is already, gone ;
four years more of the war would make the
mortgage to the public creditors about equal
to its assessed value. Are you willing to pros
times the axperinient of freeing the negroes at
Oda cost I By the time the experiment is com
pleted, you will be 'as much a Blue as the
Ingram themselves. Par in what does slavery
consist, , but in one man's laboring and another
having a legal title to the fruits of his labor ?
The slave labort and the master pockets his
earnings. Yon labor, and your earnings, all
but a small Subsistence, will go to pay for the
luxury of the Emancipation Proclamation.—
Are '
you so enantorettof this prospect that you
will vote for doubling the present heavy mort
gage which the Government holds '
on your
farm? Ponder this thing well in your mind ;
talk 11," over with your neighbors; and see if
'there is any way of getting rid of the conclu
sion that, a proportionate share of the public
debt, is a mortgage on your property.
