The October Elections.

Tho Chicago clergymen, in their adj
dress to President Lincoln, said all that
was needed now to unite the whole country
in one grand effort to crush the rebellion,
was the grand trumpet CALI of Procla-
nation Of Freedom" The big and little
1'abunes aud the whole abolition kennel
howled and clamored for the same "trum-
pet CALI to save the republican party in
the approaching elections. Lincoln, against
his convictions and earnest protest, yielded
to the pressure The trumpet CALI was
sounded, and the elections in Pennsylva-
MIA Ohio, and Indiana are The response
Was there ever a more whitening rebake ?
In PENNSYLVANIA, in spite Of the lnt1u-
ence of the horde of Government contrac-
tiers, the democrats hare elected their

In OHIO the democratic State ticket IS

In Iowa, a state which gave Lincoln
$4,000 majority, the republicans have
barely saved their state ticket, certainly
by not over 1000, although the soldiers
dib vote. BY carefully gerrymandering
the state, they managed to steal all the
Congressman.
In Delaware and Connecticut town cleo

show the same overwhelming drift towards

what is coming in November.

The following extract ofthe letter recent
ly intercepted from Beauresard to Gen.
Bragg is psraded by the abolition papers
as proof of sympathy between the peme.
Gratis and rebels:
by the way. think We ought, here
after, in our official papers, to call the
Yankees" "Abolitionists." instead of
Federals," for they now proclaim not
only the abolition of slavery, BUT OF
ALL OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIG HTS;
and that name wiN Aars a singing effect on our
Western enemies
The context shows that by sour western
enemies Beuregard means the Union
men of Kentucky and Tennessee The
.extract rather proves sympathy between
the abolitionists and rebels. Beauresard
proposes to call the Federals " abolition.
lists" as a means of Strengthening his army
and damaging the Union cause in Ken
tucky and Tennessee. The President helps
him by the Proclamation proving that
the name is not n,isapplied. Beaurcgard
in effect says the best thing the yankees
can do for him is to turn abolitionis:s-our
abolitionists are helping him with all their
might

War News OF the Week.

The general news from the Potomac is
about the same as last week Gen. Nc
Clellan is pushing the enemy pretty close
~ with heavy reconnoisances, but he shows
no signs o. giving way. lie is evidently
in strong force between Martinsburg and
Winchester extending his ,pickets down to
the Potomac, and acfes Mcclellan to come
on The pressure upon Mcclellan to make
q forward movement is said to grow hea-
-ier every day, while it is asserted that the
only reason who he don't move is want
of supplies.
Gen. Sigel has been reinforced with s
new Germanregiments, and has establish
ed his head quarters at Centreville. His
cavalry have daily skirmishes in the diree-
tion of Thoroushfu-e Gap, &c, with rebel
cavalry, but there IS evidently no large
force in that vicinity.
The people in Culrepper, Fauquier, and
other counties in that portion of Virginia
are under intense excitement and alarm
from threatened negro insurrection. IT
negroes are said to have been hung at Cul-
pepper for supposed connection with it.
The weeks news from Ky amounts, in
substance, to about this,-that Gen. Buell.,
after following Bragg to within 40 miles of
Cumberland Gap, has about given up the
pursuit, Gen. Bragg having slipped safe
ly into Tennessee, with all his immense
trains and plunde-. 1t il generally agreed
that he was q little to quick and sharp for
As slow a coach as Buell..
The belief now is that Bragg will unite
= part of his force with Harris, &c, in
their attack on Nashville, and Bgell IS
evidently preparing to check mate that
game by sending force to Gen. Negley'
relief Nashville is at present closely in
vested by the rebels, and all communica-
ton of our army with the outside is cut
off Unless Buells reinforcements reach
there ahead of Bragg, the place will fall.
John Morgan, after cutting off several
Of our wagon trains, and otherwise largely
operating in our rear, was set upon by Du-
Inonts cavalry, near Lexington. and pretty
badly .'ssed. He lost, among others, some IS

How TO RESTORE THE UxioS.-This is the
abolition plan. Mr. Wadsworth, abolition
candidate for Governor OF New York, said
in a recent speech
The republican party would pu, an abo
ltIouist on each plantation. arm him ard
the slaves, if necessary. II would also sell
the plantations to men from the North. or
from New England, aud let them employ
the slaves upon such terms as they could
agree upon.

New England abolitionist upon Southern

correspondent of the Boston Courier
points out very plainly the results likely
to follow upon the elections in the north
Nothing could crafty so much the deter
mined secessionists of the south as the
success of the abolition party; since this
would shut the door against any possibiii-,
ty of reunion. But general triumph OF
the friends of the constitution, on the
other hand, would have the most powerful
opposite influence IN depressing the rebel
lion at home.

SO much for the speech. IN our anxiety
to condense within so brief space 4
speech extending over two hours, We are
quite conscious of the great injustice we
are doing Mr.. Gray. All his trenchant
points, keen sallies and vivid illustrations
are smothered and lost. IF, however, we
have succeeded in culling out but a few OF
his leading thoughts, and impressing them
upon the minds of the reader, our labor
has not been wholly in vain.

confiscated But suppose that law repeal
ed, they could only take the property of
rebel from him during his life. Suppose
they took away his slaves to-day, an d in
two years he dies his heirs by the consti-
tuition inherit the Slaves This argument
was unassailable. Ana if Congress ca mot
even take the property of traitor except
during his life, how can it also take that
of a loyal man, as this Proclamation pro-
doses to do? Illus the President more
power than Congress and the President
together How do the republicans get
over these difficulties? Oh, say they, the
President does it by the "War Power.
MThe War Power!' No man who as
sisted in making, or thus far has COM
n1ented on the constitution ever heard OF
such power. 1t Is not in the constitution
it is not in the Federalist, nor in Kent.
Mr.. G. read an extract from a speech OF
Lyman Trumbull utterly scouting the
idea that the President, rs Commander
in.Chief, had any such power. What did
our ancestors complain Of against the King
of England in the time of the Revolution
We read in the Declaration of Iudepend
ence:
ale has affected to make the military
superior to the civil power"
The argument of Mr.. Gray. showing up
the monstrous sham and pretense of this
war power, was full -round-complete
supported by authorities the most irrefra-
CHILE aud conclusive; bus our space will not
permit US to follow him through it.
Mr. G. again read from the Declaration
Of Independence. Our ancestors charge
against King George that
He has attempted to excite domestic
instruction amongst US"
The proclamation is guilty of the same
thing-the republican leaders are for it
A man like Nat. Turner, for instance,
murders his master, his wife and babies
then goes to n school house and murders
40 little grls-and the great army Of the
Union stands by and looks on. Nerciful
Father And the Chicago clergynes are
for 1.-THE President can see any -0soral
objection to il,
Pursuing this line OF remark ct some
length, Mr. G said, Z conclusion, DAT this
policy was all wrong and based on false
and most fatal assumption. The ten mil
lion people Of the South never can be sub
dued. Emancipation certainly meyer will
do it. I, was based on the idea that the
slaves desired TO be free. 1t was not the
case. This war will go on-the taxes viii
go on-we gain one victory and the rebels
the mext-thus see saving until both sides
are wearied out, and then We will compro-
mise The country viii be where it was
