THE PEOPLE SPEAK.

President Lincoln was serenaded on We'd
nesday evening by large crowd of enthu-
siastic admirers of his great proclamation.
He made very brief speech, saying that
he had issued that proclamation after most
careful deliberation and full comprehen-
sion of the solemn responsibility under
taken; he trusted in God that he had made
no mistake; he would not defend his action
by words-it was of the country and the
world TO Judge of it. The President paid
high compliment to our brave soldiers,
and Immediately retired. Secretary Chase
and Cassus NJ. Clay were also visited, and
both spoke with warm enthusiasm in sup
port of the Presidents action.
Not in Washington alone was this mani
festation of JOY observed. Every loyal
heart throughout the length and breadth of
the land welled up with gratitude to God
that the President had, amidst the surround
ings of conservatism, determined to strike
at the cause of this infamous rebellion.
Meetings were held in almost every part of
the country, and resolutions, expressive of
the deep felt joy that heretofore held the
hearts of the people as it were spell-bound.
passed with shouts of applause. Let the
true friends of the Union take courage The
leaders of this rebellion will be properly pun
ished; and, their aidors and abettors be care
fully attended to. Now more than ever it
becomes the duty of every intelligent voter
to endorse those men whose policy of crush
ing this rebellion has finally been accepted
by the Chief Magistrate of the United States.
The record of the past points TO James NJ.
Ashley as one of those men.

that he is not an Aboltionist.
As Chairman of tho Democratic Conven-

gentlemen do not consider their nominee,

Slightly Disturbed.

Following in the wake of his Emancipa-
ton Edict the President has issued another
important document, ordering that hereaf
ter all persons aiding or abetting the Rebels
all who discourage volunteer enlistments
or obstruct drafting, and all who do any
disloyal act that will give aid and comfort
to the Rebels, shall be subject to martial
law and be liable to trial and punishment
by Court Martial or Military Commission;
and the writ Of habeSs corpus is suspended
in regard to all persons who may be ar
rested and punished for such acts.

Following il up.

As might have been expected the Toledo
Blade and PeTysburg Independent were
slightly disturbed by the Presidents Eman-
cipation Proclamation. They had been
venting their bitterest spleen against Mr..
Ashley for agitating such measure, and
for this reason they had repeated" de-
nounced him as q "howling AbolitiNnist." "
AS military necessity. the Blade announ-
ces that it is willing to support the Presi-
dent in this measure, although il, don't ex-
sctly see the necessity. The Independent
echoes the same dogma, but grumbles
about paying for a dead dog"-mesning,
of course, that it needed no act of the Pres
ident to wipe out the curse which has
cost the North over two hundred thousand
of the lives of her bravest SONS. 1t needs
only an ordinary discernment for one to see
that with such men as Mr.. Waite the
hands of the Administration would soon be
etfectually tied, unless it pursued tempor-
izing policy.

A Story About Gen. Butler.
FROM the n. Y. World

lrIOLn tnS ~ 1 W oIlu.
A story is told concerning Gen. Butler which
is not calculated to prove his confidence in the
safety of the secession element by which he il
surrounded.
Some time ago Gen. Butler, finding that it was
almost impossible for him TO devote to his wife
the cares to which she is entitled. resolved to
part with her aud send her homeward. The
day of departure arrived, and he went with his
wife and his children to the boat on which they
were to embark. Unfortunately the water was
high and the boat of difficult access. The plank
thrown upon the water between the deck aud
the shore formed an acute angle, and Blondin
himself would have found it difficult to main
tain his equilibrium upon ii. But Gen Butler.
confident that his center of gravity was suiii-
ciently ponderous to secure him against all acci-
dents, ventured bravely upon the sleepy road
Hardly had he walked two steps, however,
than his feet glided alcng and down ne went,
measuring ths plank with all his length, aud
producing ct the same time noise something
similar to that of an old kettle. His servants
ran to his assistance aud he was soon up again.
When it had been aseertained that the General
was unhurt, inquiries we're made concerning the
sound of metal heard at the time of his fall. Il
was not lOLg before the mystery was solved.
The clothes of the General having been torn in
his perilous descent, people saw prOtruding un-
derneath his coat one large breastpl4te, reach
ing from his neck down to his thighs. This
was the object which had produced the noise.
IL was ascertained Afterwards that the General
wears this kind of armor since his arrival in
New Orleans, and that he never goes out with
out it,

ARE YOU READY!

Tuesday, the fourteenth day of October,
is the day of our State and county election.
Unconditional Union men are you ready ?
Are you organized? Are your arrange
ments perfected for getting out every vote
Are you prepared to discharge your duty
as free men? For good, or for evil, this
will be one of the most important elections
held in this country. Under the regime of
the "old Democratic party" our once glo-
rious old Union has been brought to the
verge of ruin, and to-day efforts are being
put forth to re-organize that party upon a
basis that will again virtually give it con-
troll of the Government. For the accom-
plishment of this object, Cook, Ross, Hollen-
beck and Higgins are working hand and
glove" with such men as Tyler, Dodge,
Bates, Parks, Reid, Beach, Wescott, and a
host of other bitter partisan Democrats we
could name. These latter stand pledged to
support the Vallandigham State Convention.
Therefore, under these circumstances, what
is the duty of all true patriots? Shall we
let the real issue be covered up, by sys-
TEN of wholesale slander and personal abuse
such as is now being employed against Mr..
Ashley, by Cook, Dodge, and Tyler & Co.?
Or, will they look at this gigantic scheme
inteligently, and try to comprehend the
great motice which lies at the base? "Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of Liberty" The
edict has gone forth The President must
be sustained. The cause, which has cost
the North thousands of its brave sons, is
doomed Our armies are now on the sure
road to success. Surely we have every
thing to encourage us; let us, then, organ.
ize and be prepared to meet the issue,
which has been forced upon us,
