WHY He Withdrew.

JOHN BRNkERRooF, Esq !, of Wayne county, an
old line Democrat, and an old and substantial
farmer, had his name announced, or rather his
friends had for him. for County Treasurer. Be-
fore the nominations we're made, however, he
withdrew his name, and assigned his reasons
for SO doing. Wegive below the last paragraph
of his Address, and must say that We are rath-
or favorably impressed with this man, BRINK
ERHoor, from the way he talks. There are hun
dreds and thousands Of just such Democrats, as
this man, all over the State, and they will take
the same noble stand in favor of their country, ,
taken by Mr.. B.:

summary Proceedings in Mary
land.

The secessionists of Maryland and their
allies in the South, who have counted up
on the secession Of that treason tainted
State at the meeting of the Legislature at
Frederick, have found themselves most ef:
fec!ualy checkmated aud their leaders ar
rested. A portion of the Legislature had
been previously arrested in Baltimore and
put under guard at Fort McHenry. from
which they were ordered to be transferred
to Fortress Monroe. Upon the assembling
of the nest of the conspirators at Frederick,
they discovered themselves surrounded
with a military guard that soon put the
town under martial law, preventing any
egress without permission of the Provost
Marshal. The principal Legislators were
then arrested and securely cared for. n''.'.
The recent bold and fearless manner in
which Government has conducted affairs in
Maryland, has given the country great faith
in the ultimate saving of even that hot-bed
of rebellion. The arrest ofthe arristocratic
millionaires of Baltimore struck amazement
to the hearts of the rebels of that city, aud
this last master-stroke will dash the ill-be-
cotton hopes Of all who trusted to see
Maryland in the Confederacy. That game
is beautifully blocked, and all good citizens
respond Amen to the means by which 1t
was done. .s. -.

Union Feeling in Virginia-Inter.
eStinE Facts About Bull Run


We have conversed with very intelli
gent Virginia gentleman, strong Uniou.
ist, who informed US that he had positive
information, that for a long time before
the close of the battle of Manassas, the
Rebels considered themselves defeated
and only took courage to avoid such re-
suit after they were reinforced and in
formed of Our unaccountable retreat.-
They even telegraphed to Richmond that
they were defeated, and that the Federal
army would soon appear in full force be-
fore that city. One officer telegraphed
his wife and family to leave, as the city
would certainly be taken. The, Unionists
of Richmond, elated with the intelligence,
held themselves in readiness to Join our
troops on their first approach, while the
Rebels, for the entire night, and until the
news of the victory was announced the
next morning, were making preparations
to leave, and many actually were fleeing
from the city. My informant assured me
That this was war waged on the part Of
the South, chiefly for the purpose of per-.
petuating the power of families. The
wealthy, and those accustomed to rule,
Witnessing the increase and gradual growth
in the intelligence of the poorer class Of
whites, were fearful without some move
ment Of this kind, their power would be
lnfringed by those over whom they had
been accustomed to exercise it. Theirde

excuse, and their faith in the power Of

Plain talk in Kentucky.

This is the way Andrew johnson talks to the
people ef Kentucky, in his recent speech a;
Newport, in that State:
Slavery was made the pretext to break up
our glorious Union. There was no right viola
ted, nor never could be, if the people would
abide by the Constitution. But thank God!
the people of the United States did not, do not

A Patriotic Couu,v.

EDITOR N. Y. TRIBUNE-Sm: In your Daily
of Sept,9, your correspondent from Owego, II
oga County, N. Y, seems TO think that his
county, with $500 voters, is entitled to much
praise, because they had sent five full compa-
nies 10 the war. This may be good standard
for New-York and New-England men, but it
will not answer for Illinois, We think the
Eastern States are not quite up to the mark.
Our county has $500 voters, and we have
now in the army 400 men. When our State
sends her warriors in like proportion, Illinois
will have 100 regiments of 1000 men each in
the field. A like proportion for New-York
would give her say 375 regiments. O sia
We are fearful the men Of the East do not re-
alize that the country is really at war with u
vigorous and enterprising enemy. Is il neces-
sary for them to have the war brought to their
borders before they will arise in their might?
We have the evidence before our eyes in the
Union refugees from Missouri, who are in our
midst, that the horrors of civil war in that State
nave not been exaggerated by the newspapers
sound the tocsin of alarm continually. and urge
on your men 10 the conflict We OF Macoupin
n nave right to raise cry, for more than one
iourlh oil our voters have already cnliste for
the war. and still the work goes on. SUCKER.

Nominee for Senator.

Iheoenatorial Convention which met at LOU
donville on Wednesday last, put in nomination
Col. DAVIS MILES, Esq, of Morrow county, as
the Union candidate for Senator in this District.
The District is now composed of the counties
of Morrow. Knox, Wayne and Holmes.
Mr. MILES four years ago represented the
counties of Knox and Morrow, in the Senate.
and those who remember the doings of that
body at that time, need not be told that he bore
very conspicuous part in its labors. He is n
most excellent man, n good speaker, and very
popular throughout the western portion of The
District where he is known. Knox and Nor
row counties say they can give him each 900
majority. He is sure to be elected.

Union i'm New York.

Patriotism, like politics, .'makes strange bed
fellows" Who would have supposed year
ago that the Republicans of Ohio from Lake to
River would have earnestly shouted for ITO D
AND.VICTORYl"- that the Republican
party of New York would have placed at the
head of its State ticket such a man as Daniel s.
Dickinson, whose life has been one of constant,
bitter, and uncompromising warfare upon
its leaders and its principles. But such
is the force Of patriotism in the hour of Nation
al peril. In Ohio and New York, men of all
parties have come together, and have presented
a grand example of political self-abnegation.-
They have put by old theories, old prejudices,
and an imosities of the past, and clasp hands as
brothers for the Union. They differed as poll
ticians-they become one as patriots.
The Peoples Union State ticket in New York
headed by Dickinson, will sweep the State by
an immense majority. Even the Mozart Gen
eral Committee of New York City. after full
discussion, by vote of 100 to 20, formally
adopted the People'sState ticket as its own.-
This ensures an overwhelming vote for the na-
iional ticket in the metropolis, and the World
says "from present appearances it does not seem
likely that the White Feather ticket can poll
more than 10000 votes in the State"

cy of Ohio. Two of their nominees-Mr. Tre-

ANOTHER FRE.-On Monday last, about the
middle of the day. the stable of Mr.. HoxwoRrH
adjoining the "Ot 10 House," was discovered to
be on fire, and being filled with hay, was pretty
well used up before it was put out, although
our fireman worked with their usual skill and
energy.
The fire is said TO have been the work of an
incendiary. If SO. aint it time an effort was
made TO find out who it is in our midst. that is
doing this mischief. In little over month
We have had four fires, all said to be the work
of the incendiary.

Among the Breakers.

The Democratic politicians of New York,
who refused TO enter the Union movement, and
after long powwow put forth a platform and
ticket of doubtful loyaly, are having a hard
time of it. Two of their candidates have al
ready Withdrawn. No one, not a Secession
sympathiser will suffer their names to be used
in this party movement. Hon. LYMAN FREE
MAINE, nominated for Attorney General was not
satisfied with the mere withdrawal of his name,
but addressed letter to the Committee, which
is very severe upon the managers of the move
ment. In that letter he says:
"a combination of rebels exists more for
midable than the country ever witnessed, and
more wicked in the purpose it avows than any
which has been formed since the time when
CArILISE headed the conspiracy against Rome.
The object of the conspiracy is to break up the
best government on earth. Country. institu-
lions, Union, national fame, e,honor-everything.
in short dear to Us as patriots-are threatened
with destruction. In this hour of peril the
country calls on all her true and loyal sons to
put down rebellion" He declares Secession
TO be an abominable political heresy, that it is
the duty of all good citizens TO put forth all
their energies to overcome it, that eve rything
calculated TO divide our citizens should be
avoided. He says, bearing in mind that acts
committed in time of war from necessity and
selfpreservaion are not likely to ripcn into pre-
cedents for times of peace. we should regard
with liberation all things done by the constitu-
ted authorities with an honest purpose to up
hold the authority of the Government and put
down rebellion.
He closes as follows:
Entertaining these general views, and being
quite willing, personally to see temporary sus-
pension of partisan strifes and contests in this
crisis, l am reluctantly compelled to believe, as
l look over the proceedings of the Convention
and review other acts of our prominent repre-
sentative men, that differences exist between
myself and those who nominated me, and that
on this single war question my views are not
In harmony with theirs. hope and trust that
ere long these differences may disappear. With
these convictions. while tenderto the Conven-
tion and TO all its members my sincere thanks
for the honor they have conferred on me, 1 am
constrained TO decline the nomination for Attor-
ney General
Mr.. ThEMAlNE's noble letter about bursts the
movement. In New York, as in Ohio, the peo.
pie are uniting in the grand Union movement
which is opposed only by those who are unwor-
thy of confidence in this hour of peril.

Stop your Lying,

The Coshoeton Democrat of Sept. Is, says:
"On the 22d day of December last, the Holmes
county Republican, when it saw that the Chica-
go Platform was severing the Union. said
we hope Northern Republicans will remain
firm. and if the Union must go, why, let her
slide
For this reasonable sentiment, Lincoln made
this Editor Postmaster at Millersburg."

The News from Missouri.

The news of the capture of Lexington, in
Missouri produces intense sadness. Every bo-
dy asks. Why is it that such brave men as Lyon
and Seigel and Mulligan are left unsupported?
OF course we a: this distance can know nothing
about it. We hear great complaint from Mis-
souri, that the forces there are reduced by orders
eending them East. On the other hand it is
alleged that the proposed expedition down the
Mississippi absorbs every thing else. and hence
the interior OF Missouri is left to be a prey 10
the rebels.
The politicians about Washington must have
an awful scare on them just now. Nearly all
the troops that are being raised in the Northern
States are hurried thither leaving Western Vir-
ginia. Missouri and other points exposed TO the
depredations of the rebels.
RIGHT.-We learn from the COshocion Agc,
that the great mass of the Congregation and
supporters of Rev. W. E. Hunt, of the o. S.
Presbyterian Church, in that town, have refus-
any longer to listen TO his "comfort TO the reb-
els" ministrations. Right. We want to see all
such ministers of the gospel. as this man Husr,
made to understand that Northern Union men
will not sustain the sympathisers with treason,
directly, by preaching in their hehalf, or indi-
rectly, by voting with a party in the North who
refuse to aid their government in putting down
treason in its midst. If there is no other way
to do this than by Withdrawing your support,
adopt that way at once.
