ing letter to the Philadelphia Press Il is
plain aud earnest, and is well worth the pc.
rusal aud candid consideration of every
loyal man: s.i.a. .i a...f of fH.. 10 ...i.
The result of the elections in these North West
crn States the topic amnng all classes Of men
and will be the occasion of grat ej,icing ia this
Southern Cohfederacy. Ihaye taken some trouble
to look into the cause, and my only astnlshmeni
is that the Union candidates held their as well
as they did, ur that ais many of them were success
iul at the polls OF 100000 voters in the army

would have voted the Union ticket had they been
NJ home. Instance few tactS in Iowa There
provision was made for sending sworn Commission.
aud the result was that they voted the Union
ticket. | cOnyersed with two of these Comlnis-

bogus Depocr"cy got dve Votes, aud in smother
Here, in the States, thousands who voted with
these miserable sympathiEcrs, we're carried away
by the charmed name Of Democracy, and they did
not intend 10 vote against the war, the Govern
men', and the country, as in reality they have
dune. The Democratic leaders and candidates
have declared themselves for the war, and pruu,-

the party in power are doing.
Then, thousands at whit are called Republican
voters voted the Democratic ticket ~ u rbuks to
conduct of the war. All hands cuncedc that Presi
dent Lincoln is honest and patriotic. but they COM
plain bitterly that he has exercised too much len
iency and torbearance toward the Rebels, They
Complain that hi. Generals in commlnd are too
suw-that the achievements on the part ot our
arms have not been equal to the mon and money
consumed, and that the President has consulted all
the parties for advice, and been too much infu-
enccd by those who were either too selfish in their
objects, or secretly III sym ,athy with the Rebel

Loud complaints are made against some of the
Cabinet uflicers, for their false notions of con
s1rvatiyc policy, The pcupln- aye the very penp,
who elected Mr.. Lincoln, demand three .neheve-
ments at once. and they will not be satisfied with
out them. One IL the capture of Richmond the
| other Is the seizure and occupation of East Ten
nessee and the other is the opening of the Mis-
sissippi River to its mouth. The lcyal people ul
the North-Westem States are far in advance OF the
President and his Cabinet, and even his army
officers. The people demand that an urmy shall
be marched thrugh the States p,w In rebellion,
to coniiscatc the property Of Rebels of whatever
name &C nature, and To call upon Union men every
whore the army passes, to rally around the ma
tiOnal standard. ..
have dcrrn led the President in every speech
have made, AMI excused, best could, his for
bearance policy but venture the prtdctOn, that
iftwelve nonIs more Of this SLOW do-nuthing pol
icy of the past shall BE- carried out, the Admins
" ItOn will not able t, carry State III the
Uu6n. The people are sick nlia tired at this tame
policy OF the Government, and nf the creeping neg
ligence of the m.n in cOmmind of the army.
The is an end to human endurance, and that end
has been reached by tue people ut home. Action
is now the word. THE people do not doubt bnt
what Mr. Lincoln is honest, patriotic. and zeauus in
the nf his country, but they doubt his having
enough pf the backbone that characterized Old
Hickory jackson. They want him to run rough
sh01 over the do4nothng advice of portion at his
Cabinet officers and to spurn the counsels of all
peace-making dcmagogues. The country calls for
war IN earnest pr peace upon some terms-the
most honorable that can be obt AT my rate
all true friends of the Administration demand thai
tn old policy of naction and neglect in the
field shall give way to new and energetic measures.
And if there is not visible change, without fur
ther delay all the journals In the country caut save
the Admi istration from g'nng by the board. ''.
The friends of the Unon, and OF the President aud
his Cabinet, owe it to the one, ~ the nher and to
themselves to speak out plainly, and to do il before
it is tho late. let the government at Washington
feel what every man Of sense whr mixes with the
people IN the States Sc $, namely, that nothing
short Of a series Of vigorous AMI comprehensive
measures instantly inaugurated, AMI firmly carried
out by the President and his chief officers In com
mand, can save the country from disunion. and the
North from disgrace, which would surely follow
the achievement nf Southern independence. aH
The men elected t. Congress in the several loyal
States, few days since, falsely called Democrats,
are pledged tn the vigorous prosecution of the war
until the rebellion is crushed out, and the political
unity of the country Is restored In nnany cases
these pledges were intended to deceive, and they
were successful in humbugging honest voters.
Tho President, by means of this decephnn, will be
made to contend against "A power nj and openly
disloyal force, set of bad men in sympathy with
the southern leaders. som as tl' next Congress
shall meet, The people placed confidence in the
sincerity Of these bad men, were deceived by the
charmed name OF DeDoordcy, and cast their votes
according 70 thoir convictions of right. .L..
There exists deep-laid schem. to defeat This
Government here at the North, and the programme
Of treason Is widening and deepening daiiy, while
the leaders at the South kept posted in all III Sc
movements of Northern traitors. These allies uf

Hni more iers; an roatspeken in their advocacy
of treason. They have their newspapers in Iowa.

Ohio, Pennsylvania, NewJersey, Delaware, ew-

the various rmfcatiOns Of society. and talking out
