Dissertation of the House of God.

We are informed that a fanatical Meth
odist Preacher, by the name of Baynhart,
on the last Sabbath before the late Blec.
ton in attempting to Preach to the people
of Salem, Luzerne county, so far forgot
the sanctity of the Sabbath and the sacred
ness of Gods House, as to break out in
strains of political exhortaton for all good
citizens 10 vote for Curtin, and then de.
nounced Woodward, and Ills followers, as
Copperheads +! Having thus turned the
house of God into political meeting and
changed the pulpit into the politicians 8

the congregation rose to their feet, and in
wild commotion, the Democrats gave three
hearty cheers for Woodward and Demo-
craey. The Abolitionists following by
cheering for Curtain, All such political
priests, whether fool or fanatic, afflicted
with "nigger-on.the. brain," should be
banished from decent society here as they
will be excluded frem Heaven hereafter.

THE INDIANA ELEoTIoNs.-It is signid.

Letter from Gen. Mcclellan.

The following noble letter from Gen.
Mcclellan, was received in Philadelphia
last Monday afternoon, and speedily tele-
graphed over the State. The occasion
that gave it interest has gone by, but we
publish it, in order to keep up with the
current of events, and also expose another
Of the base falsehoods by which the Abo-
liton press endeavored to cheat the peo-
pie into the belief that the great and good
men Of the Democratic party had become
renegaaes, and repudiated consistency,
elf-respect, honor and principle, by de-
claring in favor OF Curtin.
ORANGE, N. j., Oct. 70, 1863.
Hon Charles j. Biddle:
Dear SIR: My attention has been
called to an article in the Philadelphia
Press, asserting that had written to the
managers Of Democrrtic meeting at AL
lentown, disapproving the objects of the
meeting, and that if voted and spoke, it
would be in favor of Governor Curtin.
am informed that similar assertions have
been m ade throughout the State. 1t has
been my earnest cndeavor to avoid partic.
ipatlon in party politics, and had deter.
mined to adhere to this course but it is OBJ.
vious that cannot longer maintain silence
under such misrepresentation. L, there
fore request you to deny that l have writ
ten any such letter or entertained any such
views as those attributed to me in the
Philadelphia Press, and | desire to state
clearly and distinctly that having some
few days ago had full conversation with
Judge Woodward, find that our views
agree, and regard his election as being
called for by the interests of the nation
| understand Judge Woodward to be in
favor of the prosecution of the war with
all the means at the command of the loyal
States, until the military power of the re
elion is destroy ed.
understand him to be OF the opinion
that while the war is urged with all pos
sible decision and energy, the policy di
recting it should be in consonance with the
principles of humanity and civilization
working no injury to private rights and
property not demanded by military ne.
cessity and recognized by military law
among civilized nations, and, finally,
understand him to agree with me in the
opinion that the sole great objects of thi,
war are the restoration of the unity OF the
Nation, the preservation Of the Constitution
and the supremacy OF the laws of the coun.
try. Believing our opinions entirely agree
upon these points, | would, were it in my
power, give to Judge Woodward ny voice
and my vote.
am, very respectfully, yours,
| GEORGE b. MCCLELLAN.

The Election is Over.

We now trust that the political waters,
which have been lashed into such Violent
turbulence, Will quietly subside, and that
a calm more conductive to reflection will
follow. The Republicans have got their
victory they will enjoy it with their &C =
customed enthusiasm while the Democracy,
now quiescent, will look forward to the flu
ture, when they will roll back defeat and
obtain in its place substantial and per-
manent triumph. To our Democratic
friends we say, then, be up and doing /;
while you submit to the will of the people,
you can look forward with confidence to
the sober second though which will sue
coed the deleriousness OF passion that has
just spent its force, and upon its correct
wisdom the fabric of Democratic ascen-
dency will be built. The Democratic
party is only obscured by temporary
cloud, and will soon blaze out with reful-
gent luster. You have polled a vote
throughout the State that is enormous
by far the largest you ever gave and in
that fact, and by your firm, compact and
solid organization, you have won the re-
spect, if not the fear, of your opponents
When more than half the legal votes oi
the State march in solid column to the
ballot-box and disposit their votes for
Woodward and Lowrie, it is high time
that yenal and unscrupulous men should
cease their clamor about traitors and trea-
son. If they keep it up sfter that de.
monstration, they will simply expose
themselves to contempt and derision.

To BE REPEATED.-The abolition par
ty having succeeded at the polls, that
popular measures" the draft, is to be re-
peated on larger scale than heretofore.
A despach from Washington says:
II is not true, as has be en- reported that
the Government has any intention of re-
sorting 10 volunteerin instead of draft.
II is true that the consoription has not
realized as many men as was expected,
and it has also proved very costly, but
now the machinary is in working order
all over the North. The administration
believes it to be an easy way to secure
men. The military authorities, after all
has been said, are still Of opinion that the
draft is the cheapest and most expedious
means OF securing an army, and besides
distributes more evenly the burden of war
among the whole population. 1t will
therefore be persisted in.
Drafting may be San easy way to Sc.
cure men, and it may be "the cheapest
and most expeditions means of securing
an army" but we "cant see it," and we
doubt if those who have watched the pro-
gress of the last conscripton can see it in
that light. To enforce the last draft re-
quires the services of about seventy-fve
thousand men-provost marsbals, provost
guards, infantry, artillery, &c.-'while the
number of men secured for the services
by this expensive army of officers and
soldiers does not reach over Strty thou
sand In the light of these facts, does it
not sound like joke to hear that the
draft is "the cheapest and most expedi-
tious means Of securing an army :" Every
man secured will cost over So, 900, while
the process itself is tedious, x tending over
months of time. Meantime, the army in
the field is depleted to enforce the meas
ure, and grows weaker day by day from
fighting, disease, desertion, &c. Instead
of being an expeditions and vigorous
means of prosecuting the war, the draft
is drawback, an expensive and cumber-
some machine-in short, failure, dis
tasteful to all classes (even the most loud
monthed Ioyahst) except those officers who
make handsome thing in enforcing it.
The system Of volunteering, stimulated by
liberal bounties, would secure far better
army in shorter time.
But the government prefers drafting to
enlistment, and cit will therefore be per-
sisted in" If it is not impertinent, we
would inquire in this connection, what
has become of the promises made by the
Abolition journals, before the election,
that the people would avoid draft by re-
electing Gov. Curtin His own home or
gan held out tlis glowing inducement, ,and,
on the other hand, threatened the people
with another draft Of 600 900 in case they
should elect Judge Woodward and now,
before the returns are footed up, draft is
determined on. What has become of their
promisesl They are ropes Of sand, Sew.
ards promise of peace within ninety da VS..
Let these jugglers and confidence men an
swer to the people whom they have know
ingly deceived.

The Result in the State.

The result of the late election is o vic.
tory for our POLITICAL opponents, Gov.
Curtin being elected by majority of not
less than $4,000. We labored for what
we considered the cause Of constitutional
liberty, of right and justice and the best
interests.of the country. We espoused the
cause OF George w. Woodward fer his
abilities, patriotism, purity and excellent
personal character, and of Walter H.
Lowrie, for Supreme Judge, because he
has faithfully filled the responsible posi-.
ton of Judge, and has done much to raise
the dignity, honor and purity Of our Sup
RENE bench. We labored zealously for
the success of these excellent men and the
great Democratic party, because we keenly
felt the great Importance of the contest,
and strove, with the great Democratic
party of Pennsylvania, for the triumph
Of the cause Of the people.
But the odds were too great. We made
gallant fight, but the power of con.rac,
tors, spectators and Office holders, assis-
ted by the great central power at WISH
ington, which sent home some thirty five
thousand voters, who voted against us,
and of themselves more than make up the
Abolition majority in the State, has over.
powered US. The will of the resident
population of Pennsylvania has been sci
at naught and the State carried against
The Democracy.
The result, however, is not without iti
encouraging features. Out of a vote o.
nearly halt a million we are only beaten
tome twelve thousand. Nearly quarter

stitution as it is, b ave recorded their voice

ready to seize victory and power wher
our political opponents themselves grow
sick of their own choice and call on then
for succor. We are defeated, though no
dismayed. We will look forward to q
brighter day when reason and justice
shall once more return to the minds and
hearts Of the people.
The Opposition having carried the State
Governor and Legislature, we have nc
responsibility. We can wash our hand!
