n cf Hotter county, hear what
the war-worn and battle-tried General
llciotzlcman says: "I can see but two is

accomplished by a vigorous war, or an ar

Correct lire mistakes.
We desire to call special attention to
the fact that in the Electoral Tickets
circulated by the State Central Commit
tee the name of G. Morrison Coafes is by
mistake printed C Morrison Coafes five
limes in each sheet. Those persons who
have the sheets of tickets in charge, in
the several townships, should at once go
over each sheet and with a pen cr pencil
correct the error, which occurs twice in
the third row of ballots from the top of
Ihe sheet, and three times iu the bottom
row.

of last Thursday. It is the only article
upon the coming contest in the issue of
that date. It is prophetic!
A LOOK AHEAD. —The old line Dem

Tuesday was the groundswell for 18G8.
It foreboles a reorganizatian of the dem

platforms Next Tuesday is the last chance
the present democratic leaders will have
to exhibit their wax lingers at a Presiden

"While nearly all the hundreds of miscel

to Jeud on Government paper, at as low

needs the people's money, and pays for it
liberally, it offers the highest possible
consideration besides, and that is, sa/lfy.
Andy. JOIIIISOTS Siantls up For
liis Craft,
Andy Johnson, the Union nomineei
for Vice President, confesses to the goose
and net-die. and stands rp for his craft,
and prondly maintains the hcnoTablecess

iu Indiana:
'•I hold in my hands, from which I
wish to read, an extract or two for the
benefit oi some old Democrats, and young

As the People A ride the President Obey?,.
VwisrirxomN, Oct. 19.
The President was serenaded at the
"White House to-night, and OQ appearing
at an upper window, spoke as follows,
being frequently interrupted by applause :
41 1 am notified that this is a compli
ment paid me by the loyal Maryianders
c-si lent in this District. 1 infer that
d.e adoptieai of the new Constitution for
the State furnishes the occasion, and*that
in \our view, the extirpation of slavery
constitutes the chief merit of the new
Constitution.
•• Host heartily do I congratulate you
and Maryland, and the nation and the
the world r.pon tlie event. 1 regret that
it did not occur two years sooner, which,
I am sure, would have saved to the na
tion more money than would have met
all the private loss incident to the meas
ure. Hut it has come, at last, and I sin
cerely hope its friends may fully realize
ail their anticipations of good from it, and
that its opponents may, by its effect, be
agreeably and profitably disappoined.
"A word upon another subject. —
Something said by the Secretary of State,
iu his recent speech at Auburn, has beeu
construed by some into a threat that, if I
shai! be beaten at the election, I will, be
tween then and the end of my constitu
tional term, do what I may be able to ruin
the Government. Others regard the fact
that the Chicago Convention adjourned
not sine die, but to meet again, if called
to do so by a particular individual, as the
intimation of a purpose that if their nom
inee snail be elected he will at once seize
the control of the Government. I hope
the good people will permit themselves
to suffer no uneasiness oa this point.
'• I am struggling to maintain the Gov
ernment, uut to overthrow it. I am
struggling especially to prevent ethers
.rom overthrowing it. .1 therefore say,
ti at, if I shall live, I shall remain Presi
dent until the fourth of next March and
that whoever shall he constitutionally
elected therefor, iu November shall be
duly installed as President en the fourth
of March, and that, in the interval, I
shall do my utmost that whoever is to
hold the heini for the next voyage shall
start with the lest possible chance to save
the shin.
" This is due to the people both on
principle and under the Constitution,
lkeir will, constitutionally expressed is
the ultimate law for all. If they should
deliberately resolve to have immediate
peace, even at the loss of their country
and their liberties, I know not the power
or the right to resist them. It is their
own business, they must do as they please
with their own. I believe, however, they
are still resolved to preserve their country
and their liberty ; and, in this utEce or
uut, I am resolved to stand by them.
" I may add, that iu this purpose to
save the country and its liberties uo clas
ses of people seem so nearly unanimous
as the soldiers iu the field and seaaie-D
afloat. Do they not have the hardest of
i: ? Who should quail while they do
not ? God biess the soldiers and seamcD,
with all their brave commanders I"
The politicians who argue that the
interference of the President with slavery
is unconstitutional invariably ignore the
all-important fact that the slave States
are in rebellion. They emphasize the
'constitutional limitations of Executive
power in time of peace; they omit all
reference to the constitutional extensions
of power ia time of war. Mr. Chase, iu
bis late speech at Covington, concisely
stated the iegal authority the President
possesses ea this subject. He said:
'• The constitution provided for raising
.;rmie>, .td n.ade tae Mrcsiueat (_om
tnander-io-chicf. It gave him, thercfure,
tail power to tatie alt steos necessary u>
the effectual prosecution of the war. The
best statesmen iu the land have said, and
the propoiiiion has been unchallenged,
that iu case ct iusurrecnou or foreign
war the institution of s:aveiy must be
subject to sue a disposal as the uationai
'interests shou.d require. Iu other words,
that wiih insurrection ia a slaveholding
State the wnole power over slavery must
pass to the Rational Government. In
my judgment, when insurrection gave
die President power over slavery, with
that power came the duty to put an end
to it. 'AT' Lincoln was bound to do that
aich was necessary lor sa.vation of
the Republic.
It is plain that wc have a local insur
rcciion, and a national authority to sup
press it. Ia such a case flic re can be no
such thing as the right of rebels to local
institutions watch, iu the opinion of the
National Government, arc dangerous to
its own existence.—Press.

I'IiJLADF.LIII IA, Oct. 21, ISGL
The sinoke of the List eugageuent ha=
cleared away, sue; upon the vote of her
citizens at home Pennsylvania stands by
the government of our fathers, while her
brave sous in the lidd will imt give less
than twelve thousand majority for the
good cause. The last hope, therefoae, of
the supporters of General MeCleHan has
disappeared, BdG the only result of con
tinuing to sustain him is to give aid and
comfort to the rebellion by increasing the
appearance of disunion among ourselves.
General Sheridan dealt a terrible blow
to treason on Wednesday, and every pa
triot's heart thrilled with joy upon hear
ing it; but a great majority for Abraham
Lincoln in Pennsylvania would be far
more fatal to the armed conspiracy against
the Union and the Constitution. Every
vote for our tried and faithful President
will paralyze some arui raised to shoot
down the fag, while every vote for the
base surrender at Chicago, and the men
who catry its white Hag, will encourage
some rebel to shoot another northern sol
dier. The ticket nominated by Ya]ian
digbam, Wood and Seymour is now black
with treason, and after it is voted will be
red with the blood of our brothers £ght
ing for us. The war has existed for the
last year only fcy reason of our divisions,
and its continuance to-day is solely owing
to the activity of the disunion party of the
north and the platform of its convention.
V, Li.e any hope remained of the election
of its candidates, plausible excuses might
bo found by misguided men for giving
them their suffrages : but after the ver
dicts o: Maine.A ermont.Xew Hampshire,
Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania, all sen
sible persons know that' the election is
already decided by the pe; pie, and that
it only remains to ascertain the majori
ties. It follows, therefore, that every
vote for ricClelian and Pendleton is an
earnest invitation to Jefferson Davis to
continue this learful war to waste more
'of our treasure and to murder others of,
our sons.
The sublime spectacle of a united north
will end the war. We invoke all patriots
to lend their efforts unceasingly to pro
duce this result. 13 y perfecting the ward
aud township organizations; by the cir
cuiatiou ot documents; by public addres
ses, especially by local speakers; by earn
est pcrsouai t.iorts with honest but mis
taken men; by making arrangements to
bring every loyal voter to the polls; by
scndiDg tax receipts to every soldier and
sailor; by the immediate formation of
campaign clubs in every borough and
community; by great meetings cf the
people by daylight and by torchlight, and
by all the honest agencies cf an active
and thorough canvass, appealing to the
patriotic zeal, and kindling the patriotic
enthusiasm cf a great and loyal common
wealth, we can attest the feaiity of our
to the dug cf the Union by a major
ity worthy of the historic character of the
eoDtcst and ot the great issues dependent
upon it.
Forward, then, every lover of his coun
try to this good word ! Locking not to
the past but to the future, forgetting ail
personal considerations, and appreciation
the privilege of sotue sacrifice for Liberty
and the I aion, let us relax nocSort untii
the pods are closed. This Committee
will contiuue to do its whole duty, and
reiies upon your instant, earnest and con
stant assistance.
•Grant's march of valor and of glorv
from the Lapidan to the James sealed
the fate of the rebeliion. Since then.
Sherman has turned its left wing. Far
ragut is closing its avenues of escape.—
Sheridan has sent its vanguard again
whirling down the valley. It onlv re
mains for us to sound the charge along
the whole iine. ani wrapping our ballots
around our brothers' bullets, march to
the peaceful, final triumph which awaits
us iu November.
Proclaiming the war to be a failure.
George I>. McCielian is himself the great
failure of the war—a general without a
victorv —a statesman without a record,
and if we are ihituul, history wi.i add to
his epitaph, that he was a candidate far
the Presidency without an electoral vote.
Let us all, therefore, labor without ceas
ing. In memory of our buried martyrs,
in regard tor the wounds of our living
heroes, to guard liberty from its deadiy
peril, and the Uaica i'rem its treasonable
foes, iu the interest of religion, and in
the hope of the republic of the future,
loyal men of Pennsylvania, forward to
victory.

IIOW A CAPTAIN WAS CONVERTED.
—At a social gathering night before last
says the Uhatanooga Gazette of October
13, daring the cvirung Capt. Sutherland,
Assistant Adjutant General, formerly of
Gen. bteed man's staff, captured during
Stoneman's aaiJ, and recently exchanged
was bresent, and toasted, and made a
happy response. Wo regret that every
soldier in the army, and every patriot in
the land, could not have listene*d to his
remarks. Captain Sutherland, before his
capture, was weli knowu as a warm and
earnest McClellan man. In the remarks
alluded to he mentioned this feet: said
that he had changed base in this partic-:
u!ar. lie was now for Lincoln, because,
during his imprisonment, his rruards at
Charleston, and every rebel he met with
one exception, learned that he was a Dem
ocrat, electioneered with him for Mc-
Clellan. That exception stole an oppor
tunity to whisper in his ear that the South
was only holding out in hopes of Lincoln's
defeat, and assured him that if Lincoln
was elected the war would instantly end j
and unconditionally cease, as the South
would then see that resistance was no
longer practicable. Cantain Sutherland
declares that he never could nor never
would vote for any man at the request of
armed traitors.
ABOUT PEACE —GOD knows we desire
our country's peace. We have Dever said
or done aught wittingly to put cfr the glad
day one seccond. It is our conviction,
now, as it was three years ago last Mr.v.
that we cannot have peace without f*Dv
ernment. The war inaugurated IT the
Southern aristoerac-y. to found an empire
on the basis of slavery fur labor, must be
fought cut until either the in' criog man,
or the slave lords, succumb. If the "mud
sills'' go down they may be trampled on;
ifihe aristocrats, they may become recon
ciled to the Church's doctrine of the equal
ity of men and agree to pay wages to
those who work f r them.
Three years ago we opposed the onlv
peace that was offered to us— namely sub
mission—because it was the disruption of
cur Union, the dishonor of oar fiag, the
extinction of our cation, and the begin
ning of perpetual anarchy and war.—
To day the aspect of the question is not
changed, except in the results of military
epperatious that have since occurred
The same peace is offered now that was
offered then, and there are manifold rea
sons fer no: accepting it now, ever and
above those that forbade its acceptance
then.— Catholic Telegraph.
CZTTho Chicago Platform was con

approved by our enemies in England, was
agreed to by the disloyal politicians of
the North iu a conference with F.ebe-Is at
Niagara Falls, was submitted to General
McCielian and approved by him, was
adopted by a convention of the so-called
Democratic or subDjissionist party at Chi

£3* The Chicago platform claims that

ABRAHAM LINCOLN A IIEPRESENTA
TIVE MAN. —The Springfield Re i uL'.i
can prints a glowing eulogy upon the life
anl course of President Lincoln, from j
which we take the following: <
People tuav say what they will of the
President, they cannot possibly put their
hand upon or point to any other man in
the lie public v/ho represents to the peo
ple, north and south of Mason's ur..l Ihsf
on's lice, and to the whole civilized world,
so much of the honest loyalty and the
real democratic principle of the cauntrv
as Abraham Lincoln. He stands oat
from all the men of his section and Lis
time—and Dot alone by reason of Lis of
fice—as the representative of the repub
licanism of the republic, the champion ot
democratic principles, the friend of the
Union and the Constitution, and the foe
of all class privilege and class domination.
11 very man, loose from the bondage of
political ambition, and loose from tlie
greed of power any the love, of slavery,
thinks well of Abraham Lincoln, and
casts in Lis lot with him. Thousands of
Democrats, converted to freedom by the
war, have, from the moment of their con
version, become.his friends. His way of
saving the country is recognized as the
only way. A connuerej peace is the
only peace deemed possible."
YVliat tlin Coiipci hcads Have

They have embarrassed the National
Government at every step in the progress
uf the present wgr.
They have sympathized with the ene
my arrayed in arms against us, and who
are seeking the ruin of the Itepubiic and
the Humiliation of the Free States
They have defended the conduct of the
rebellious States, and charge the respon
sibility of the war wholly u[on the auti
siavery sentiment of the North.
They have opposed every effort of the
Government to procure reinforcements
for the army, fomenting popular disturb
ances to arrest the draft, and leading
pcoTle to b.lieve that if they enlisted i:
would only be to aid in r.n Abolition war,
conducted by blundering and incompe
tent Generals, and an uu_ -uaiiy untrust
worthy War Department.
They have augmented the National
debt by artfully depreciating the Nation
al currency, so that the Government has
been obliged to pay nearly three times as
much for its supplies as th-re was any
occasion for.
They have increased the burdir:? of
the people ty the same process, in order
to make the war unpopular, auJ t..us
compel an ignoble peace.
Thej have underrated every success
of the Unioa arms ia the field, and ex
onerate 1 every R.T! success, however
slight; they have systematically magni
fied all the perils and troobi.s o: our ar
mies, depreciated the abilities an! achi-.-v
--ments of every successful Union general,
and extolled every Rebel leader; they
have made much of imaginary dangers in
oar path, regularly exaggerated the forces
of the Rebels, at ♦he same time that they
have underrated ours.
They have assailed every general of cur
armies who was known to have his sym
pathies with us in this war, whether he
were Democrat or Republican, and they
have defended every general of pro-slave
ry proclivities, whether successful or
unsuccessful.
They have proven by their actions that
they w-iuli rather save slavery than the
Union.
They have defended every domestic
traitor, however rank his treason.
And at Chicago they Lave formally
declared ia favor of a base and cowardly
surrender to the Southern Rebels.
