An Electloneering Lie.

IL is reported that another draft is TO be
made soon. This is untrue, and the parties
making such statements are guilty OF gross
fraud They know it 10 be untrue.-Da Dayton
Journal
In the above, the Journal deliberately
asserts there will be nomore drafting. Our
neighbor knows better than this; at least,
every sensible man knows better. We
make the prediction, that, unless Aboli-
tionism is crushed at the ballot-box in the
coming elections in the loyal States, there
win be another call FOR troops, and daoth-
er drqti, in less than ninety days from this
time.
The editors of the Journal have been
poor prophets in the past. They predict
ed the South would not secede in the event
of Lincoln's election, that there would be
no trouble, no civil war; that times would
be etter; that the slavery question would
b. settled; that the South could be whipped
in ninety days; that they would be starv-
ed out; that they would not fight, and a
thousand similar things, all of which have
been proven false within the last eighteen
months, Just as the statement above, thai
there will be no more drafting, will be
proven false within the next three months
If the war policy is continued, there vii
be, there must be, more drafting, and h
who disputes it, is either knaye or fool

Abolition Meeting In the First
ward.

The imported Government stock, Rev.
(heaven save the mark) GAYLORD, man
who is drawing hundred dollars per
month from the people, as chaplain of a
regiment, while he is hundred of miles
away. from the place of his duty black
guarding and denouncing men who are as
far above him in patriotism, morals, hon
esty, intellect and decency as the heavens
above the earth, spoke in the FIRST Ward
last night to an audience of about one hun
dred and fifty persons. His whole har-
angue was TRADE of abuse Of Mr.. VAL
LANDIoHAM and the Democratic party. His
manner and language was that of low
blackguard, and after hearing the man we
cannot but believe that the morals Of his
regiment will be improved by his absence
What do yoathink Of q man protesting
to be a minister of the gospel who hires
himself to political party to denounc'
Democrats as "black- hearted, traitoroul
scoundrels," that is his language W.
think that such man is only fit for .'trea
son, stratagem and spoils." A man wh'
would drag the ministerial robes into tn
slough of politics, and indulge in sucl
bare-faced lying, cold-blooded malice an'
smooth-tOngued hypocrisy, as did Rep.(9
Mr.. GAYLORD last'night, would not scru
pie to use it to hide any infamy, howeve
black and damning. Such men are nc
to be trusted. They need watching.

MesTs Editors AS the return list of vol
unteers for this township and the manner in
which have done my duty in the matter, is
at this time assuming an undue prominence
before not only the citizens of this township,
but the whole county, deem it my duty to
give plain statement Of facts in regard to
the same ia leH t-- mal s8L
First---In taking the enrolment OF persons
liable to do military duty used all the dill.
gence possible, and when the self-constituted
Board Of Assessors made their supplemental
report il did not vary mine materially.
Second--When ], accompanied by Mr.. Wor-
raj (who was appointed by the Military Com
mittee of the County, tookthe enumeration Of
the Volunteers in said townships the matter
was So apparent to him, that he not only
said 10 me but TO others that l had done my
duty and made as correct o return as he or
"any other man could have made under the
circumstance: After that thought the mat.
ter was certainly at rest, and when the notice
fora meeting of the citizens of the township
on the 9th Of September was published, l
supposed the object was what was stated in
said notice, viz to take measures to clear
! the township from draft in the only rational
way in which it could be donej that is by re-
porting the names Of parties who had enlist
ed and been missed by Mr.. Worrall and my
SELF or falling in that to raise a fund and OBJ
tain the necessary number Of volunteers
accordingly at the time fixed for the meeting,
repaired to the appointed place and found no
\ one, but sscertaining that the meeting was be-
ing held in neighboring house l repaired
thereto and expected to find regularly or
ganized meeting for the purpose set forth in
the notice. Instead Of that found an nm
organized party of citizens, who instead Of
attending to its legitimate business proceeded
to the abuse of the Democracy in general snd
myself in particular as an humble member o
said party Now, Messrs, Editors, itJmay be
a in good taste, but inm my estimation the meet
ing would have been better employed in at
tending to something else. / allude to thii
now in order to set myself right before tn,
community, and claim now, as | did before
that did my whole duty 6rst and last, anC
to prove my assertion refer to the declara

Taxes,

The Journal is trying to fool its readers
into the belief that the t0res qOiH be less
this year than before This dodge is re-
sorted to make capital for the Abolition
party 1t is on the principle that the more
man runs in debt, the less he will have
to pay. If any man is silly enough to be-
lieve this twaddle of the Journals, he will
be better posted in couple Of weeks when
the new Collector comes around.

Getting Certlncates. III

The Journal publishes a couple of GER
tifcates from Generals in the army to prove
that Gen. Schenck is clever gentleman,
a brave man, and good General This
has not been called in question. 1t is not
in issue in this campaign. We have not
called il in question, nor Go we proposeto
do So There is higher, nObler issue in
this canvass, than the personal characteris-
tics or military ability Of Gen. .Schenck or
"any other man" The restoration of the
Union, the maintenance of the Constitu-
ton, the supremacy of the white race, the
prosperity and happiness of the people,
and the crushing out of iAbolitionism,
these are the results to be decided by the
coming election, and to secure these we
labor for the election of the Democratic
candidates. Mr.. Schenck we are opposed
to because he carries the black flag of Abo
litionism. We have not denounced hin
personally, as the public will bear us wit
ness, and as our files will prove. He may
:. be allthat is claimed for him in the 'scer
tificates,' but men who are over-anxious tC
prove themselves innocent of things neve
charged against them, sometimes create tn,
suspicion that things are not as they ough
to be- By ,the-way, if Mr.. Schenck is 81
good General as claimed, it would be
pity to take him out of the service, for it j
an admitted fact that we have not any to,
many good Generals in the army. w
guess the PEOPLE viii let him stay wher
he is. slf3I IGl4J3DD j. gl3F-

save YoslrPowder.

Will our Demoerstic--we mean all those
who are sincerely patriotic--readers permitus
to say one word Of advice to them? There
are threats of wholesale arrests Of all who
dare to advocate the election of Horatio Sey-
mour and other tried and true Democrats
These threats are cowardly fctions. Moth
ing Of the kind viii be done-because it can
not be done. The way to meet this attempt
at intimidation is by quiet, resolpte, law-ab-
ding defiance. But what we wish to impress
upon our friends is the importance Of not per.
hitting themselves to be led on into express
sions Of opinion of no practical bearing on
the issues in our hands. Our business is to
elect Democrats to State officers, because, as
is amply proved, the Black Republicans can
neither manage the Government, nor make
war, nor bring it to any end that will save us
from bankruptcy and ruin. Don't let us
be led away from this issue to discuss ques
ions about anything else.--N, Y. Freeman's
