THE ELECTION.

PEoPLE should not forget the duty they
owe to the country at the poll, in their ex-
citement upon War matter. The Uncondi
tional Union Party has an excellent ticket
to which we invite attention. Although no
ono of the opposition will acknowledge to
any other principles than those of Union,
and the perpetuity of the Government
yet the party, as a party,is committed
to proffer dishonorable compromise to the
rebels in arms, We trust the loyal North
will not give them an opportunity to do
so. The Union will be lost if given over to
a temporizing policy, and the Unconditional
Union Party is therefore its only salvation.

1t is some time since wrote you, but lam
happy now to inform you that the good people
of Middletown are fully alive, and show a
determination to do their part to meet the
present momentous crisis in the affairs of our
country. About a week since, Mr.. d. G.
Hill, a young man from Wallingford, came
here with orders to recruit, and has had ad-
mirable success. He has obtained twelve
sturdy fellows from the ranks of our young
men, and probably will obtain some more
before he leaves. The young men enlisted
are physically the very best that could be
found among us, and Intellectually, fully an
average. -'''-'
We had two we'll attended and very spir-
tied meetings. Last Friday evening we had
the benefit of speech from the Hon. D. E.
Nicholson, which was patriotic in the highest
degree, and to the point. He spoke with
more than his usual earnestness upon the
Importance of every loyal citizen sustaining
thegovernmentin putting down the rebellion,
| ann scrupulously to avoid all side issues as
tending to distract and embarrass the admin
stration and our officers in the field. He said,
" have been an abolitionist and / am one
now. My private opinion in some respects
might differ from that of majority of the
people, or from that of the administration,
but what of that? the house is on fire, take
my bucket and run, aud if meet another
man with bucket shall not stop to inquire
what his antecedents were, nor do want him
to hinder me with the same enquiry. 1t is
through the administration, and that alone
that we can put down the rebellion, and lei
US sustain it with our men and means and
our patriotic hearts 2 ,''"-
The meeting was also addressed by H. j
Ballard, Esq, of Poultney, Mr.. Mansfield
and others, when it adjourned to Monda,
evening. ss atmt
On Monday evening again, a good audi
s ence was collected at the Con gregauona
House, and much interest was manifested
partly from the fact that the recent volunteer
were present and were just on the point c
leaving for the war. E, Ross, Esq, preside
at each meeting, and occasionally added som
very sensible and pertinent remarks. nj
, Mansfield made a very stirring speech o
! Monday evening, as did Messrs. Buxton an

duties of the people in this great struggle
He said, though the people had as yet re-
sponded promptly to each call Of the Presi-
dent, yet, in his opinion, if there was any
doubt OF the result, il arises from what the
people who stay at home will do, rather than
from the soldiers in the field, We are now
about to send twelve of our strongest young
men to the war. have the utmost confidence
in their courage and power ofphysical endu-
rance, and If do not find too many men at
home shaking in their boots through fear OF
being drafted, or through fear that their taxes
will be increased, | may well be proud of
Middletown. We talk about courage being
an indispensable quality of the soldier, and
so it is, and so it is for the people for home
There is no danger Of any man being COM
PEELED to go into the army who is physically
incapable, but the danger il any, is, in my
opinion, that they will not do their duty at
home-a duty too, no less important, but
much less arduous than that of the soldier
If we could be assured that the people would
all have the same courage, the same energy,
will and determination that the soldier has,
the speedy end of the rebellion would be as
sure the rising of to-morrow's sun. ,a-er
The meeting was closed by an address to
the volunteers by the Rev. c. Granger. The
Rev. gentleman gave them some very excel
lent ADVICE, which undoubtedly left an endu.
ring impression upon theirminds. He advised
them to be obedient to the commands of their
officers to be careful of their health and
morals, to improve their leisure hours in
reading useful books, and to trust in Pow.
dence and keep their powder dry"

A Senai-offcsal Statenaentof his Position.
Is, The following is the article Of the Ma
tional Intelligencer to which our despatch
e. referred on Saturday,
ssIn order to meet the insatiate de-
mand for exciting news, which prevails
among all classes Of people in dense COM
munities, the leading journals of our prin-
cipal cities keep correspondents at Wash
ington, to transmit by telegraph or letter
the many colored rumors, the offspring
generlly of surmise, which are hourly
flying about the halls of the hotels and of
the executive departments and when
these flag or fail, the journals themselves
supply the defciency from their own fer
tile imagination.
In general these creations are harm
less, and having served their purpose, are
forgotten in the exciting despatch of the
followidg day. Sometimes, however, a
holder stroke at sensation deals in mat
tiers too grave for sport, and calculated to
work evil abroad, innocuous as they may
be at home, where they are better under
stood. Such is the character of some
speculations and imaginary probabilities
put forth, with much emphasis, by a New
York journal day or two ago.
On the authority of its telegraph des-
patches from Washington, that journal
informs the public, that from the conflict
ing views of the members, the Cabinet
has been on the verge of complete DISCO
! lution'-that Mr.. Seward had made up
his mind to resign his position if his coun-
sells were not acceded to-that his retire
ment would have led to an entire recon-
struction of the Cabinet-that to avoid
such embarrassments at this crisis, and
especially DESTROYS to retain the invalua.
BILE services of Mr.. Seward, the Presi
dent has resolved to harmonic the exc
oution of the confscation and militia act
&c. Furthermore, that new movemen
on the political ehess-board is a move o
r the Conservative Democrats and Republi
cans to make Gen. Dix Governor Of New
York, and Mr.. Seward Senator in Con-
gress. ~ 81, sass'9 ~. - :. .fss s1a e9
