Joseph Bailey, now representing this District in the National CongreS's hilts been nomiriated for re-election to that pbsitien by a mass meeting of soldiers in the service. He has accepted that nomination and is now fair ly before the people as a candidate for Con gress. The resolutions of the meeting that nominated him and his letter of la ceptance were published in our last issue and we pre sume our raiders have given them a careful perusal. The Republican Party of the Dis trict have made nu nomination and the con test is therefore between Mr. 'Bailey and the regular nominee of the Democratic Party, Mr. Olussbrenner. One of these gentlemen must be chosen and itAlepends on the sup porters of Mr. Lincoln in this' District to determine that ebuiee. In order to act understandingly in this matter it is necessary to know exactly how Mr. Bailey stands politically. He has al ways been a member of the Democratic Party and until now has never been before the peo ple except its the nominee of its conventions. This time he has not received the nomination of that party because of the scheming of an aspiring demagogue, who not satisfied with an enormous fortune to which his political friends have helped him, craves also a full measure of the honors his party has to be stow. In the present canvass Mr. Bailey claims to be, and is a member of the Party to which he has always belonged. Ile open ly and warmly supports the Democratic nom inations and is working zealously for Gen. McClellan. lie claims no affiliation with the Republican Party except devotion to the Government and hostility to the rebellion. does not support Mr. Liticola for Presi dent. De is as fully committed to the Dem- oeratie neminatiuns as any man in the Dis trict and this he nIIIIOUTICCS to tint of all Intl•tlE Mr. Bailey's position in the campaign is not what we hoped it would be. The earn estness with which he ha, supported the L-n -ion cause during the lust, and the present Congress led u- to believe that he would be found doing battle for the of Freedom and UMW' with the supporters of Mr. Lin coln. In this Nlti were dkappointed, and much to our regret Mr. Bailey oppo-es the re-election of the wan who i, supported by the, entire Republican Party and by curly all the War Democracy in the country. 'We had hoped to support for Congre,ss a man tvleise voice would be unequivocally for Lin coln and who would give hi, earnest support to thin principles party. No such can didate has been nominated by our party. nor is there any inall in our ranks for whom there is the slightest chance ~r Lhoice of Inn voters ,of the district in \vc hay , • said before bet \vecn 5;1 ,, ,,bre1111,1% The latter gentleman lit, been bef-re the for the lit 4 twO 3 ears very promineiltly and lye Well kIIOW 1 , 1',2111111. , .

MU - Under the circumstances, and between the men, the duty of the Union men of the dis trict, is, clear. r. Bailey, though a Demo crat and a supporter of McClellan, is an 1i0n ....1 supporter of the Government and a troe patriot. I n spite of the efforts the disloy al tueu who lead Ins party he has givun a hearty support to every war measure of the Administration and we I now that his loyal ty will never falter until treason is subdued. lie hales treason in es cry c o nceivable shape. Ile feels that the rebellion is unjustifiable, treaionsble ited sinful. and as such lie oppos es it with his NV IlUie energy. Inc can be relied upon under all circumstances to sustain the Govuinment, and therefore we will sustain him in this contest, and as against his disloy al opponent, we will do all we canto secure his election. Wo earnestly ask all the friends of the Union cause in our County to throw aside all political feeling in this matter and net in concert to prevent the election of Glossbren nen Our line of duly in this matter is clear ly marked. A friend or foe of the Govern ment must represent us in the next Congress. We must either give Mr. Bailey our cordial, earnest and united support, or we will con tribute by our divisions or our indifference to the election of his opponent. Everitt-lea of the Government who refuses to vote-for Bailey casts half a vote to elect a man Whom his own pally have branded us disldyal. We can elect a loyal man to represent us if we exert ourselves; will wo allow an intense copperhead to triumph through our indiffer ence? "As in the Future." Resoircd, That in the future as in the past we will adhere to the Union."—Dcmocratic Pla(fornt. That reminds us of a little story. Once there was a " Derimerat' his name was Jefferson Davis—and is now. Ile was a leading Democrat -- He was Secretary of War in a Democratic Administration. He was a Democratic member of the United States Senate, and while serving "the party" in that capacity he made a summer tour of of Now England (1858), and in his speeches at Portland and Augusta and other Eastern cities he made repeated protestations of his devotion to the Union.. At Portland, Itlaine,, he wound -up an.elaborate eulogy of 010 Union with these words : .‘f If, at eomo futtire time, when I am mingled with the dust; and the . arm of my infant ,'Eorf.i has been nerved' for deeds of ruanhOod, the storm. of _War.. should 'burst upon yOur - eity,,l4eol, that, relying upon his inheriting; the instinct 'of his ancestors and' - • .. „ mine,'" may pledge - him in that:, - poritous : hour to stand by your side in the'dolenso of your ; hearthstones,: and in .maintaining the. honor of a' flag whose constellation, though tern and smoked in many a battle, by sob and land, has never been stained with dis honor, and will I 6114; forever fly as tree as the breeze which unfoldS it," . ' The author of this sentiment, we—need scarcely remind the' • reader, is now the " President" ,of the slavaholders"i Confect racy," Commandbr-in-Chief of, an army which is engaged in tearing to pciees , the flag which in tlze past" he prayed might " tly forever" ("in the fut.tre") •, as free4s the breeze which unfolds it !" So much for the Democratic adherence to to the Union in thci future," as promised "in the past." THE UNION COUNTY TICKET As the time is rapidly approaching at which the voters of our county will be called upon to cast their suffrages for county officers, we deem it appropriate and opportune to briefly notice the several candidates placed in nomination by the People's Union Party, and to consider in a few words their individ ual claims upon their fellow citizens for their support. We give - our views upon the con gressional question in another column, and will commence this article with the nominee for Assembly, JAMES KELSO, of Shipponsburg. Mr. Kelso is well known in the county as one of the old tinie battlers in the catty , of freedom and right. An old whig-, he early espoused the cause of the Re publican party and has ever been one of- tiro most ardent, intelligent laborers against the accursed intrigue and treason of the pro slavery despots who so long marred our coun cils with thoir overbearing aristocracy.— 'When the evil councils of thesu marplots culminated in open rebellion, and the appeal to arms was taken, lie raised a company ,if his neighbors, and led them gallantly through the brittle of Vreilericksburg.

We soroly need IL 1111111 of expe rience and intelligence in that other. The number of sessions could bo reduced consid erably more than one-half with positive ben efit to the County, and with a decided saving in the expen9es. Squire Criswell's known probity and inte4rity are the very best earn egt that his election would be at over credit able and profitable to our county. 11 the least possible regard for the best interests of our community be takon into account he will dk tune, his competitor l v unequalled majority. Fur Director of the Poor, JS(). \V. CRAIGIIIiaI) of South and for Auditor, I.)A VI D FOG ESON It, of Hopewell. These gentlemen arc'both re spectable, enlightem‘d farmers, whose only desire is to sere their fellow citizens. The duties of those po , itions are neither pleasant nor profitable, and it an encouraging sign of the times that citizen's of such positive worth as tileSe two gentlemen should consent to give their time, and services without ade quate compen,-ation. We have thus hurriedly examined the ticket as the convention gave it to us, and think we can fairly say that a better or more worthy one has never been presented to our citizens. Itis a ticket that ought to be elect ed,—every man upon it. Let us vote for it and work for its success, and surely good will come of our labor. Spurious Electon Law Our attention has been called to a print ed bill in circulation throughout the county entitled "The mode in which soldiers shall vote" purporting "to be an abstract of the late act of the Legislature, "to regulate elections by soldiers in military service." The paper is without official or private sanction. The act in defining the duties of Asses sors, Collectors, and Ti•easurers, provides among other things, "That said Assessors shall, in each and every case, of such asses ed soldiers, or officers without fee or reward therefor, give a certificate of such regular or additional assessment to any citizen of the election district or precinct who may at any time demand the same ; and upon the pres entation thereof to the tax-collector of said district or the Treasurer of said county, it shall be the duly of such officer to receive said assessed tax of and and from any per son'offering'to pay the same for the soldier or 'officer therein named and to indorse upon such certificate a receipt therefor." ' It will thus be seen that the duty of the one is to assess and certify while the others are to reedy° and receipt for the tax due up on such assessment. Bat according to the pretended abstract, "Assesso4 Must receive the tax from, and furnish a certificate of Payment to any citizen offering ,to pay the same for said soldier.'!.: - Taxesqlaid to an Asseasor as all: intelli gent men are aware, have no more. offleatiy than assessmontsmado by a collector. Every body knows, that,a.reccipt to be'a - disebarge from a- claim. or- a testimonial 'of privilege must be executed by the lawful akar, - ceipts by an assessor, therefore, being in di recteorillict with the law, would be rejected by any - election judge or board without hesi tation aS„unsufficient, and thus the war-worn soldier would be cheated of his rights. Errors so gross and glaring and so well calculated :to' defeat the object of the Legislature can not be the result of inadvertence, but must have been the effect of a deliberate design to mislead the soldier, and thus defraud him cf the right of suffrage—a right of inesti mable value in the present state of our be -loved country. And so we charge it tci be. Be the guilty authors whom they may, our object in noticing this barefaced attempOto cheat the soldiers of the Republic out of tht..ir votes, is to cull the attention of the main hers of the standing committee in the sever al townships to the fraud, and to urge them tottlieli measures as are best suited to pie vent'its consu mmation—and also to warn the Assessors of the penalties they will incur o.)y any violation of their duties. A copy of the printed abstract is left in this office for the inspection of any who may desire to see it. Duringthe last ten days a number of, large and spirited Union Meetings have been held in different portions of the County. At Church town, Mechanicsburg New Cumber land, Centerville and Hoguestown the meet ings have been most decided successes. The large crowds in attendance and the enthusi man manifested by the peciple, shoW clearly that our friends are at work in earnest. It they continue their efforts they will certain ly redeem old Cumberland and place. her firmly in the Union ranks. About every Democratic paper we open contains some appeal to soldiers to vote for the Chielothominy hero. They insist that the majority of soldiers are :11.'CleIlan wen, and me actually saw a charge in one of them that -the abolitionists were griing to disfran chise hint.ohliers. - Considering that where ever it . could be dune the whole party vote of the Democracy was cast against allowing soldiers to voto this impudence borders a lit tle' on the sublime. When soldiers couldn't vote these fellows insisted that it was ex tremely dangerous to entrust the elective franchise to them. Now, that they can vote they are extremely anxious to have them vote their ticket. They insist on sol diers, whom they allt.mpted to disfranchise, to vote their ticket, and make earnest ap peals to them not to vote against the Deime racy who have always been the soldier's friends.

You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it ; and those who brought war on our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a peo ple can pour out. ] know 1 had no hand in making this war, and L know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to se cure peace, Bat you cannot have peace and a division of our country. If the United States submits to a division now, it, will not stop, but will go oft till we reap the fate of Mexico,, which is eternal war. The United States does and must assert its authority wherever it has power ; it' it relaxes one bit to pressure it is goile, and I I:110W that such is not the national feeling assumes various shapes, but always conics back to that of Union. Once admit the Union, once more, ac knowledge the authority of the National Government, and instead of devoting your houses and streets and roads to the dread uses of war, I_, and this army, become at once you• protectors and supporters, shield ing you from danger, let it come, from what quarter it may. .I. know that a few individ uals cannot resist P. torrent of error and pas sion such as has swept the South into rebel lion ; butt you-can point out, so that we may know those who desire a Government and those who insist on war and desolation: You might as well appeal against the thun der storm as against these terrible hardships of ivar. They are - TrieVitable, and the only way the people of Atlanta ' , can hope once more to live in peace and quiet at home is to stop the war,--which can alone \ be done by admitting that it began in'brror and is per petual in pride. • We_ don't want'vur ne groes, or your houses or your lands,\r any`" thing you have; but we do want aid, dill have a just obedience to the laws of, the United States. That we wilt have, andk.if it involves the destruction of your unprovO,- snouts, we cannot help it. You have here: , toforo mead public sentiment in your news papers, that live by falsehood and, excite ment, and the qpieker you seek for truth in other quarters the bettor for you. I repeat, then, .that,-by the original coin pact of government, the United States •:had certain rights in .Qeorgia which have never been relinquished, and never will be ; , that the South began war by spiiinglorts,' arse nals,, mints, custom houses,' &e., &e., long before Mr. Lincoln woo.inStalled, andbefore chapin*,%; Stati•ai, I "a., 1 SI;4. 11.1;1, I. .11. 11 1111,\1112, I'. IL I .V 7 I, ed. n the South had one jot or tittle of provoCa tion. I myself have'seen in Missouri, Ken tucky, Tennessee, and MississipTil, - hundreds and thousands of women and children flee ing from your armies •and desperados, hun gry and-with bleeding feet. In MeMphis, Vicksburg, and Mississippi we le,d thousands upon thousands of the families of Rebel sol diers left on our hands, and whom we could nut see starve. Now that war comes hoine to you, you feel very different you deprecate its horrors, but, did not feel them when you sent car loads of soldiers and ammunition, and mould ed shell and shot to curry war into Kentucky and Tennessee, and desolate the homes of hundreds and thousands of good people, who only asked to live in peace at their old homes, and under the Government or their inherit ance. But these comparisons arc idle. I want peace,''and believe it can only be reach ed through Union and was•, and I. will eve• conduct war purely with a view to perfect and early success. But, my (leer sirs, when that peace, does come, you may can on me for anything.— 'l•hen will I shine with you the last cracker, and watch with you to abield till• hoilfem rued families against danger from every quarter. yo“ niu,t go, and take with you the old and feeble; feed and nurse them, and build for them in m«re quiet places proper habitations to shield them against the weath er, until the mad passions of men cool down, and allow the Union iind peace once More to settle on your old home , rut Atlanta.
