HON. JOSEPH BAILEY
Hon. 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

- Under the circumstances, and between the
men, the duty of the Union men of the dis

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.—

is ono of our net important of,ttnty
and the convention wa: most fortunate in its
selection. 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

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. The assuraime of these fellows is

for Governor of—N-eyr , York. If there had
been any doubts of oar HUCCOSS in that, State
before, this nomination would rernovo them.
The New Yorkers are not desiroul to have
the "friend" of the rioters for their Gover
nor for another term. . .
gar Let thnto who have sons and brothers
in the army remember the efforts of Demo
cratic politicians to deprive our brave soldiers
of their rights of citizenship. Wherever the
Democracy had. undisputed control bf
any district, immense majorities were 'east
against the. Amendment to the Constitution.
No moans were loft untried to defeat it.
The roost absurd stories were circulated to
influence men to disfranchise.: tlibse who
Were fighting to protect:them•in their:hometi
and property, and now these same politicians
ask • soldiers to vote tor their.enndidates°,. and
boast loudly. that they will have a majority

treason, vote with the party that has done its
utmost to deprive them of their rights? Will
the friends of the soldiers at home, follow
leaders, who, in order to elevate their party
"to power, would degrade our soldiers to the
level of felon ? We rather think not: No
party ever committed so base an net of in
gratitude, as did the Democracy when they
cast their votes and influence against, the
soldiers, and their meanness will surely not
be forgotten. The soldiers in the service
will east their votes almost solidly against
the Democratic nominees, and in favor of
those who have restored to them the right of
ffuffragp.
,And will their friends and rein •
tives at home dOless? Let every man who
has a .90n or a brother in the eel . vice, exert
himself to the utmost to defeat the party
which first attempts to disfranchise soldiers,
but now goes begging for their votes.

you 'l , , liat, I iiropii,c to do, 101 l I assert that
illy Military pinue 111111:0 it Ilvi . itSSary for the
inhabitants to go away, and I eau only re
new my offer of services to make their ex
odus in any director its cozy and comforta
ble as possible. 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

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. Yours,

THE AMEIHPAN CONFLICT,-by Horace ,
Grerley.—The first volume 'of this admira
ble work is on our table. We have already
noticed this Work basing our views upott it
from advance sheets kindly furnished us by
the publishers. The high encomiums that
these advance sheets elicited from the press
and public are entirely justified by the arri
val of the first Volume.
The work proposes to consider the causes,
incidents and results of this rebellion, with
the drift and progress of American opinion
respeetingimman slavery from 1776 to the
close of the war for the Union.
„ To this work the eminent writer has de
voted his best endoavors,.and his high char
abter as an able and conscientious political
writer and publicist give the "American con
flict” peculiar claims upon the' attention of
our citizens. It is fully up to the highest
standard of contemporaneous history, and
no library will henceforth be complete with
out it: •.` ' • ,
