We wish to encourage enlistments The
President has called for three hundred thou
sand volunteers, very properly taking it for
granted that, II five or six hundred thousand
men had indorsed all his war policies, and
voted for vigorous prosecution Of the war,
in only three States he ought TO have no diff
hculty in securing three hundred thousand
soldiers in the entire North Now, Curtin men,
Brough men, Stone men, where are you P
You have said to the Administration, "Go on
with this war, just as you have been prosecut-
ing it during the last year Never stop fight
ing until you have freed the last slave in the
South ConGscate their property subiugate
them; offer them no terms except unconditon-
al submission" How is the Administration
to follow your dictation unless you come TO its
support To vote for war is not enough
That will never "put down the rebellion -
You, who are for the war in the manner and
for the purposes the Administration is carry
ing it on, should not hesitate to take your
place in the ranks and help it along Once,
the President and Congress declared that the
war was prosecuted solely for the purpose of
restoring the Union, and with no intention Of
interfering with the institutions OF auy State.
The ''copperheads' filed up the ranks, They
we're willing, aud are still willing, to eight for
restoring the Union. But yoa have declared
that the war is waged for something else You
have assured the Administration and the peo-
pie of the South that you will not have the
old Union or the old Constitution. You de-
msnd modern improvements" Chief among
these is the absolute destruction of slavery,
the con6scation OF southern property and the
reduction of the States to Vassalage The Ad-
ministration takes you at your word. Upon
whom can it rely, if not upon those men who
so fercely demand these policies, for men to
prosecute the war under them2
If fthese men, or enough of them to answer
the call of the President, do not enlist in the
war, they add to hypocrisy the monstrous
crime of betrayng the Administration in the
hour of its extremity. They have no moral
right to desert it after Turing it into the adop-
tion of policies they kHow to he thoroughly
obnoxious TO the Democracy Those who con
troll the policies should fight for their enforce
ment Those whose wishes are defed and
whose entreaties are contemned by the mana
gers of the war ought not to be asked to assist
IN enforcing policies and principles they be-
lieve to be ruinous.

Too Many Mass Meetings and
TOO Little Organization.

After battle has been fopght,-the smoke
cleared away-peope can discover how a vic
tory might have been won. in the campaign
just passed, the Democracy had enormous
Mass Meetings Never before were such
crowds of people gathered together; people
came together from far and near shouting
and with banners" Too much time was
wasted in Mass Meetings and display While
we were shouting in the open daylight, ths
opposition, by their Secret Loyal Leagues,
were organizing, threatening our timid
men with civil war--were coerciRg the Demo
crats they had in their employ, and bringing
to bear all their personal influence. Demo

Liyingston on Liberty.

The great men who took leading part in
our Revolution of l77G, had very different
view of loyalty from those entertained to-day
by the supporters of Mr.. Lineon's Admins
tration. They did not believe that duty to
their Government required them to submit to
the tyranuical acts OF its ministers. On the
contrary, they took up arms against such ag-
pressions on their Constitutional rights as
British subjects, and they did not end the
struggle until they had finally achieved the
political independence of the British colonies
in America. They were denounced as ire
bells and TRAITORS" by the "Ioyalists' of that
era, Just as the patriots who protest against
the despotic measures of the Washington Ad-
minlsratiog now, are stigmatized Rs traitors
or "copperheads" by the very loyal supporters
of President Lincoln
Among the eminent TRAITORS" in our
Revolution was the Hon. William Livingston
He had a most hearty hatred of tyranny, and
he wrote against it with a bold and scathing
pen. In 1865, he expressed the following
SeuLluleulSi Which III hu'I iSA ANsh'"S ~
these degenerate days when base pandering
to power and laudation of its most atrocious
usurpations, is held to be the only proof Of
patriotism and loyalty. William Livingston
said
Tyranny is a kind of political damnation,
and were all the enemies of human happiness
to consult together for "a whole century, they
could not invent a more eflectual method to
destroy it, than by enslaving free people.
| Turn your eyes to those parts Of the globe
where liberty is no more, and what do you
behold but nakedness, beggary, and want !
The lords OF creation used like the bestial
herds aud single tyrant rioung in the
spoiIs of thousands
A free people may be said to be touched
whenever any Of those laws by which their
| civil rights are secured to them, are in any
degree infringed or violated The law is the
foundation of our liberties Take away thia,
and the su perstruotpre tumbles to the ground
! How acutely, therefore, do they touch the
people who would raze this glorious founda-
| ton. and in its room erect the enormous
Babel of despotic pleasuIel Whenever any
man declares that Englishmen have no other
| title to their liberties than the will of their
| Prince, he may be paid most severely to touch
the people, and deserves to be severely reprov-
| ed for his impudence. Blessed be God, we
do not hold our liberties by the precarious
! tenure of any man 3 will They are defend
ed by the impregnabs bulwark Of law, and
guaranteed by the most awful sanctions.

A Fine Description of the Mill

Stretching across the broadest Of these
waters outlines from shore to shore, in the
form OF crescent, with the convexiiy towards
us, is the front line Of the Federal army
Behind this, concealed BY hill and foliage,
is the city of Chattanooga, portions OF the
suburbs only being visible On the right Of
the town the view Of the Tennessee is distinct
AMI unobstructed aud the enemy are plainly
visible crossing and re-crossing on pontoon
bridge Another similar structure is in the
rear of the city and out Of sight behind this
picture looms up a noble background of noun
tains whose outrageous sides present to
view an unbroken density Of forest
On the opposite boders OF the river there
is marrow plateau of ground, gently de-
scending from the mountains This is cover
ed with Federal tents, in numbers sufficient TO
indicate the presence there ofstrong reserves.
The main body of the enemy however, appear
to be on this side Of the river, their encamp-
ments being aligned in the direction Of the in-
trenchments These are continuous, and con-
nected by three or four very strong fortiiica-
tions, originally built by us aud enlarged by
the Federals. The latter are planted on
heights, in such q manner that each commands
the other, and are in turn protected or cover
ed by other works of similar character on

LoyaI NIassachusetts.

The trial of the Boston rioters, who, in
July, opposed the draft forcibly, has re-
suited in their acquittal. A point of law
was raised by Mr.. SENNoTT, which secur-
ed this result The Assistant Provost
Marshal, who served the notices on the
drafted men, was not proved to be an Off
Ger as required in the indictment, but only
an employee. OF course Massachusetts is
"loyal." She believes in ''riots," with
the BURNS case fresh in memory.
"Copperhead" New York Furnishes her
rioters severely, but down in Puritan land
they crawl out through legal technicality,
even in spite of the declaration of A. LIN
COLIN, that the laws are suspended.

Party.

The radicals exult over Rosecrans' disaster
and the slaughter of his brave men as one of
their peculiar victories, Even the New York
Esening Post rejoices that the check OF Rose
Grams and failure of the Texas expedition de-
lays a restoration of the Union. 1t says;
The checks that we have received near
Chattanooga, the failure Of the Texas incur
sion, and other little reverses that have occur
red of late, will moderate the zeal not only of
those who see peace few weeks ahead but
of those who are getting up nice little plans
for the restoration OF the Union

Am Infamous Abolition Lie.

After all the infamous lies heaped upon
the Hon. @. L. VALLANDIoHAM, during
the late canvass, one would suppose that
the Abolition stock of falsehood had been
exhausted. But such is not the case.
The miserable scoundrels, not satisfied
with their lying attacks and infamous
ISLANDERS upon his political record, now
seek, by the most miserable and unfound-
ed falsehoods, to cast stain upon his pri-
vate character. But it will fail as signally
at their attempts to blast his political rep
utation. The following, which we be-
heve originated with the Cincinnati Com
msreiGl, is going the rounds of the Aboli-
ton press
"Vallandighsm is terribly cast down by the
result in Ohio He is fast putting an enemy
in his mouth to steel away his brains He
put his trust in Copperheads aud If he is not
careful he will see some of the snakef in his
boots
To the many personal friends and ac-
quaintances of Mr.. VALLANDIGHAH, no de-
nial of this infamous insinuation is need
ed. 1t is lie as black as the cowardly
heart that conceived and gave it publicity.
How corrupt, low and mean must
that man or party be. when forced
to resort to such base libels tc
injure the reputation of aspolitical oppo
nent whom they fear, and so much desire
to get rid of. But their personal attacks
upon Mr.. VALLANDIeHAM will be as futil'
and barren as their Misrepresentation o
his political record. They have not tn,
means to break his hold upon the heart
of the people. which his tiled and un
Ainching devotion to their interests. anc
the interests of the country, has given him

BulIy for Cuyahoga County.

Notwithstanding the Western Reserve
has given tremendous Abolition majority,
the Democrats in that section have done
exceedingly well, and deserve great praise.
Taking into consideration the difficulties
under which they labor, being largely in
the minority, they did better, in some
counties, than in the Southern part of the
State. In Cuyahoga county, for instance,
VALLANDIGHAM's gain over JEwRTT's vote
is 2,063, and over ARMSTRONG, about | =
700. We doubt very much if any other
county has made gain equal to Cuyaho-
ga, located as it is, in the very hot-bed OF
Abolitionism, and with but one Democra-
tic newspaper--the Plain Dealer-to
fight against two or three of the meanest
Abolition concerns in the State. We
fully appreciate the gallant fight made by
the Democracy of Cuyahoga They have
done nobly.

The New York Tribune goes into Cen
eral RosEcRASs after the following fashion,
The time was when it plastered him all
over with fulsome eulogy. Now that Gen.
RosRcRASs is completely down, the 1ri-
Jaae essays to give him kick. We are
not at all sorry for him. Democrats will
remember his uncaled-ior letter to the
Ohio Legislature, in which he took occa-
sion to denouuce the members of that
time-honored party as ''traitors." The Abo-
liton party having used him to subserve
their purposes, kick him to one side like
a worn-out garment. His reward is severe,
but it is Just what such men may expect.
The Tribune says
'rThe removal Of General Rosecrans from
the command of the Department OF the Cum
berland has been fully determined upon Gen
eral Thomas will be his successor The TACT
that General Rosecrans was with Generals
Crittenden and McCook asleep in Chattanoo.
On while General Thomas was fighting a
brave aud desperate fight alone, has been
known TO the Government for weeks. II is
also understood that General Rosecrans has
failed, ever since the battle of Chickamauga,
to exhibit in his dispatches spirit equal to
the circumstances in which lie found himself
1t is now ascertained that General Rosecrans
came very near losing his command during
the siege of VicksburR, in consequence OF his
refusal to assist General Grant, alter repeated
orders by the Government and requests from
General Grant himself, by attacking Bragg so
as TO make diversion in General Grant s
favor, and prevent the reinforcement Of Cen
eral Johnston. The Government is satisfied
he was too cautious before crossing the Ten
nessee. aud too rash afterwards, in the first
case hesitating to obey orders to move, and
in the second disregarding orders not to move
too rapidly that, in a word, the Chattanooga
campaign was really failure.

A strOng-Minded woman.

A New York editor has seen strong.mind.
ed woman, "Boomer," in the interior of the
State, and he says her port and costume made
a strong impression upon him She wore
brown tunc brown vest brown bifurcations,
broad coarse straw hat, masculine boots,
(nines, he thinks, for her feet were very large.
and strange to say, carried in her arms baby.
1t seemed odd that such manipulating be-
ing should be a mother, but so it was; and the
newspaper man was informed that, in con-
tempt of the usages of decency, she was accus.
toned, when the infant required sustenance
in the street, to seat herself on the nearest
doorstep and administer to its wants from the
maternal fountain. From all he heard of the
lady, she is certainly entitled to the merit of
consistency Her principles and practices
agree. When the road that runs by her resi-
dence requires repairing, she turns out with
her brother laborers and shovels dirt and cracks
stones. She refuses to pay taxes on the ground
that she has no vote, and that taxation without
representation is an outrage on civil liberty.
Consequently the taX-collector seizes her
property (she uRs a small estate Of her own,
independent Of her husband and sells it to
the amount of his claim On general training
days she has ever been promptly on the ground,
armed and eqipped according TO law; but,
much to her chagrin, has never been able to
find militia captain ungalant enough to put
her through the facngs Jury duty she also
considers part of her duty but tho courts
"dont see it." The apronstring man, who
has the honor to be her husband obeys her in
all things. Why she does not compel him to
nurse the baby is mystery to the people Of
the town in which she lives Probably the
reason may be found in the delight she takes
in taking conventional propriety at defiance
by sucking it in public.
