Contrary to general belief, We find that the
Union party in Pennsylvania stands better on
its Congressional than on its State vote We
carry tie State on Congress By 6,23l majority,
though the Opposition figure out about 3,45O
majority on the State ticket. True, We have
fallen OFF in our Congress vote from the heavy
poll of 1860; but so have the Oppos-
lion: we lose by far the most, chiefly in
men gone to the war; but they lose 16, 5l5, in
spite of their boast of immense gains. They
lose even more heavily than last year; then
they gave Foster 23O,257 for Governor-now
O7,669 for Congress-a loss of 225S6; and
yet they brag Of great gains. Wait till the

The staggering confidence of success cvinccd
by the Seymourtes must, if it have any found
alton ut all. be based on an intention to COM
nit Wholesale frauds either by Illegal voting or
by false counting. We have returns from
ihree-fourtbs of the State which render it NOR
ally certain that Wadsworth cannot DO fairly
beaten. But at least One Hundred Thousand
of the Legal Voters Of our State are absent as
soldiers. aud their names standing on tho Reg.
istres afford unusual facilities for Illegal voting.
The Registrics are still great protection
against fraud, but by no means so elective as
usual Let the friends of Wadsworth every
where, but especially 10 the stronghods OF po-
teal darkness, scrutinize the Regis'rics care
fully, challenge al who may attempt to vote
Illegally, and keep eagle eyes on the ballot
boxes until tho last vote shall have been counted
out and the true result recorded and proclaimed
beyond the possibility of faisfcaton. Watch
them closely, friends of Freedom and the

Of votes. Men do not so universally shrink

should think of drafting, particularly Cecil,
who had sent so many to war; not imagining
tina, all the fnrcc sent WAS from the loyal
strength uc the county, learing Seccssia TO
enjoy all the benefit Of as good Government
as WAS ever on earth, notwithstanding they
were doing everything to Encourage the rcbei4
lion in both word and deed. On being re-
minded shat the iHtc ion OF TING Csve!7imc mt
was to make those hostile to il to bear "a por-

and threatened to die before being drafted

Draft! Draft! Draft

| ThisiS the most exciting topic now among
our citizens. The Committee appointed by
the Governor met in Elkton, on Saturday
last, and resolved to recommend draft
Immediately. The proceedings of said meet
ing are published in fall in Tie Wing to day.
| The whole country is in commotion, aud
q new determination is mars.festing itself in
the hearts of the people to put forth the
reqn:srte power TO break the colossal chains
of military despotiSm which has so sud
denly reduced the whole South to slavery
and by CONSUMPTION driven every man into its
ranks to help overthrow, on this continent,
popular institutions, and plant on their ruins
military government.
Under the bloody and iron rule Of this
olIgarchy the southern people have been
reduced to the vassclage ofserfs, valued only
| by their masters for what they will add by
conscript to the military power which has
converted republican institutions to the form
Of government known only to half civilized
nations. Such government can only be
sustained by bayoncts and aggressons on its
neghbors. 1t ebbs and flows as a sea of
blood. 1t has darkcncd the history of
Europe with blood, and no people has ever
been secure from constant wars that were
its ncighbors. This evil genius of liberty
and civilization has spread its dark wings
over the southern States, and ;.ttempts to
found Moslem-liks empire in the New
World. Are the free men of America pre-.
pared to- settle quietly down beside govern,
ment that claims rs its fundamental prnci-
pie lillibusterins and robbery, as the Turk
proclaimed five centuries ago to his Euro,
pean neighbors? On this principle, and
this alone. can the southern rebellion make
good its declarations to the world. The
capabllty and power Of the Anglo American
race to govern themselves, and give laws,
custom, and civilization to this hemisphere,
is the question that is up waiting for your
answer. You have the power within your
reach, you have but the intelligence and
manliness to use it. If you do not make the
sacrifice necessary to break and destroy this
modern Turkish Empire, then your nstitu,
tons must succumb to those of q military
| power.
| There Is not room on THIS continent for a
military government. modelled so similar to
the Turkish administering creed, as the
Southern Rebellion is, and popular gov
eminent, much less within the geographical
limits of territory drained by the same
rivers, and bound together by the same
mountain chains.
War is, therefore, upon You; inevitable
war; not war Of your own seeking, but Il
war to rsps( and snbdpe o rol,bcr and muir,
dcrcr. Men are wanted to fight the battles
of the free, and as the most expeditions, as
we'll rs the iaircSt way to procure the
requisite number, draft has been ordered.
Stand up, therefore, like men worthy of the
mission and the cause Providence has placed
You on these shores to subscrve, and plant
its banners on every Hill and valley of the
land that welcomes the oppressed of all
nations to Home

THE LANE, TEE Halt AND BIED-We are
somewhat surprised at the large per cent of
unsound meh we have amongst us. Men,
who to all appearance were robust aad hale,
before the " draft " was announced, now
,urn out to be diseased to the core. Men
whom their neighbors heretofore pro-
norEced perfect specimens of the noblest
work of the Creator, row make known the
blemishes that unfit them For manly exer.
else. Some who before walked erect with
firm elastic step, on the receipt Of the draft
ing news, were Suddenly found to stoop and
hohble in their gate. Others agsin whose
eyes were thought to be sharp as the Eagle
ken, are suddeAly bcrctt of sight, while the
aged men m ons nidst astonish us by the
numbers that have Just passed the forty FIFTH
mile post on life's highway. Alack and
alas what multitude Of ills poor human
nature is compelled to bear.
