HOW SHALL I VOTE AT THE
ENSUING ELECTION2

This is question that comes home to
every man in the loyal States. It is one
of serious importance to Us all. He who
contemplates the subject maturely will be
forced to ask himself "How had I best
vote? Was the Union in better hands
when controlled by the Democracy, than it
is at present? Was the old Union the best
that could Be had, or viii anew one be bet
ter? Are those in power now more econ
omical than the Democracy? Is the coun
try in as prosperous condition. Under
which Administration was I most prosper
Gus? Which party can make the country
most happy, prosperous, and united as one
people? Shall vote with this party which
favors Abolition and the freeing Of the
negroes, and the changing os the Constitu-
tion, or the other party, which favors the
old Union. the Constitution, and the res
toration of things as they were? Am I
for the reelection of Republican rulers,
or the election of new ones, such as my
father lived under and supported"
We have no fears of the result, ifevery
man thinks and is allowed to vote his true
sentiments. Every man is to be his own
judge in this matter, and should vote that
ticket which he may think will conduce
most toward his conntry's blessings and
property Greenrille Democrat. !.

Rumorcds Proposals of Peace
FROM THE CONFEDERATES.
New YoRK, September 80.

INV AONA, 0CPeSuAOOA w.
The Washington correspondents of the
Philadelphia Inquirer says, it is rumored
that the reason for the. existing quietude
of the armies on the Upper Potomac is
that Commissioners are on the way from
the Confederate Congress to propose terms
of peace, said to be on something like the
following terms: Loyal States to take all
the territories of Missouri, Tennessee,
Kentucky and Maryland, and make them
free or slave States, as may best please
them, the cotton States to be permitted to
have Congress Of their own, to regulate
their own domestic affairs only, in all other
things to besagain as one and inseparable
people, for defensive and offensive opera
tions against other countries; to be unity
in all matters of postage and revenue
service as herstofore, they pledging them
selvesito return all Government property
as they found it. They, in addition to q
separate Congress to regulate their pecu-.
liar institutions, to be permitted Senators
and Representatives in our Congress in
such numbers as their free white popula-
ton entities them.

Important from Kentucky.
General Morgan Ieaues Cumberland Gar
and is Pursued By Rebels
THE GAPIN POSSESSION OF THE
CONFEDERATES.

Wehave reliable intelligence that Major
General George w. Morgan, with his en-
tire force, has left Cumberland Gap, and
the Ohio River. The Confederate troops
under Col Stevenson took possession as
soon as Gen. Morgan evacuated. Gen.
Morgan has with him all his artillery and
stores. It is known that Gen. Heath,
lately encamped at Big Eagle, near Paris,
and Gen. Marshall at Mount Sterling,
have Joined their forces, and are moving
through Eastern Kentucky, to intercept
Morgan, whose army has recently been
largely augmented by recruits from Eas-
tern Tennessee. His present force is COM
posed of heavy divisions of cavalry and
artillery, and no fears are entertained of
Morsans ability to cut his way through.
That there will be fight between the reb-
els and Gen Morgan within day or two,
is highly probable, and therefore much
anxiety will be had until Gen. Morgan is
heard from. His army is made up chiefly
of Tennesseeans and Kentuckians
John Morgan's guerrillas are evidently
moving throughout the interior of KEN
tueky, and fear to the northern border;
the latest rumor put strong force near
Florence, only few miles back of Cow
ington. They still continue their deprcrl
dations, and are making wholesale pillag-
ing of supplies for the use OF Kirby
Smiths and Bragg's army. Their store
houses III Lexington and Frankfort are
overfowing with stores, &c. 'as.s W
Important Federal movements have
been begun by Gen. Wright against Kirby
Smith and Bragg, and which, it is regard
ed, must result favorably to the Federal
cause. 3t tff9s5'Ssf ~ q Ii
There is no doubt that Major General
Don Carlos Buell. has been relieved Of the
command Of the Army of the Ohio, and
that Major General Thomas supersedes
him. Gen. Buell. has been recalled to
Washington.
Gen. Bragg still occupies the territory
between Bardstown and Frankfort, and is
gradually falling back toward the Ken
tucky River, where he will possibly fortify
and make stand go aa

Questions TO be Decided by the
People at the Polls.

10 tie Conservative men of Monrot
County:-At the Election this fall you
will have an opportunity of expressing
your opinion upon number of important
questions. We present them fairly, pom
der them well and decide for whom you
will vote for Congress-MoRRIs or Cur
LER. SIT esi Is8 asS $50,
Whether you will sustain a reckless and
fanatical Congress in a system Of legisla.
tion which has weakened the strength Of
the Government and strengthened the
weakness of the rebellion. ,s
{ Whether you are in favor of spending
millions Of money of the people already
burdened with enormous debts and taxed
well nigh to ruin, for the purchase and
liberation of the slaves Of the South.
Whether you are in favor of intermed-
ding in any manner Whatsoever with ques-
tions which should have remained undis-
turbed, and whose agitation is prolific of
nothing but evil. ~ Il .i
'i Whether you desire the maintenance Of
the Government as established in 1889;
with the Constitution preserved inviolate.
Whether, listening to the voice of Wash
ingtou, you ara ready to declare your op-
position to Sectionalism in every form,
North or South, existing under the name
of Secessionism or Abolitionism.
Whether you are in favor or opposed
to law prohibiting the immigration of
negroes and mullatoes to the State of
Ohio. 'i
Whether you will uphold party which
has decided that niggers can vote in Ohio,
willis our soldiers, temporarily, absent
from the State in the service Of their
country, cannot enjoy the elective frau
chise. M $ - sas fG oes Il
Whether you will sustain party which
has repudiated its own platform-the Crit
tenden resolutions-in Congress, and in
the Legislature of Ohio. 81 4
Whether you will endorse Legisla-
ture which wasted almost an entire session
in attempting to elect the fanatieal BEN
WADE to the u s. Senate. i.sa
Whether you are in favor of the Free
dom Of Speech and of the Press, and be-
lieve that every American should have a
right Of trial BY jury, and not be depriv
ed Of his liberty without due process of
law.
Upon these questions you can let your
voices be heard. The Democracy adhere
to the old landmarks, are striving to main
tain the Constitution as it is, and protect,
against Capitalization of power, the rights
and liberties Of the people.

THE DANGER.

"I declare it upon my responsibility as
Senator, of the United States" said John
P. Hale, month or two ago, "that the
liberties of this country, are in greater
danger to-day from the corruptions and
from the profigacy in the various de-
partments of the Government than they
are from the open enemy in the Geld. "
He was speaking of the Simmons, Cam
eron and Fremont party, known as Re-
same party whose ''mis-
sion" as declared at Chicago, was to ere-
buke corruption and restore the Govern
ment to the purity of the Fathers.

About two months ago man, calling
himself w. H. Hayward, came to Mari
eta and stopped at the Mansion House,
where he has since made his headquarters.
He talked publicly, as though his sympa.
thies were with the South, wished that
they would come and take the damned
town, (Marietta), thought thirty men
could do it, and was always pleased when
the boys called him /" secesh," He went
to Morgan county about six weeks ago,
where he remained about one week. While
there he attempted to organize secret
meeting of the Democrats, but we believe
failed. Immediately after his return from
Morgan county, he went into the Western
part of this county among the leading
Democrats, and attempted to organize Sc
cret meetings. A few of the Democrats
regarding him as an ''Abolition spy " met
together with him, heard him talk and
plan, &C., &C., and then reported the pro-
ceedings to US, and to the Democratic Gen.
trail Committee. When he FIRST came here
he was anxious to be in our company,
and always had the best of cigars, and
took unnecessary pains to furnish us with

whom he thought, he could delude and
ensnare. He said, that there was se-
cret organization all over the State Of In
diana, that he had been in the lodge, that
he knew them, when he saw them, and
that majority of the people here were
ready to rebel against the Government, if
they only knew their strength. To all
this he received no encouragement, but.
the contrary. These several facts and
others being reported to us, we set about!
to discover his intentions. We knew that
there were no secret meetings Of the Demo-
Gratis in the North, because, it is contrary
to the principles of the party, and we
knew that his conduct could only be ex-
planned -on the ground that he was here,
hired by the Republicans, for the purpose
Of ensnaring Democrats, and having them
arrested just ON the eve of election, thus

much too deep for his shallow mind and
or his evil minded employers. We now
expose the whole thing.

money to said Hayward to pay
