mcm, and we verify believe that it Nicks-
burg had been held and Lee had thoroughly
defeated Meade on his own ground, ne
Woods. and Cores. and Id2dRaighdmS and
their foHOwcrS ,cOUid hare been rampant for
peace and separation, and that not one
drafted man would ever have worn tho
United States uuiform--tac livery of hire
ling or degraded soldier--in the city of New
York But VCishurg fell, and Lee failed
TO overwhclm Meade, and so the peace mcn
are as mute as frightened mice, and the
drafted rowdics are forced easily iuto the
ranks.
If we expect anything in the way of bring
ing about peace from the action of the
Northern people outside OF liuColn's armies,
it is of the last Importance that our armies
work to that end now with will, and that
speedily. II we hope for the close of the
war under five years it is now become all
important that we give them such n les
son. and that socn as will cast down their
naughty aud clated spirit and incline their
hearts again TO peace, and their minds to
the conviction that the rebellion is not
crushed, neither can it be. Atprcsent, APP
pcaranccs are so decidedly against us that
the Northern masses Judging us by them
selves in similar circumstances, are rapidly
arriving at the conclusion that we are
nearly ready to surrender at discretion.
This feeling is adroitly inspired and kept
alive by the leaders, and the people remain
in ignorance of our real powers, resources
and determination, and SO are rampant for
the vigorous prosecution of the war of sub
| jugatioa.
This popular feeling must be checked
and changed, and there is no means of doing
it but by determined and successful con-
! tiict at one or more points. The heroic
holding out of Charleston helps MS to some
extent. but something more must be done
| The election for Governor of Ohio takes
place early in November, we believe, and
the new Yankee Congress meets in Deccm
Der. In order fdrordb'Y TO effect the OhiC
election and he organization and action o,
the nep Congress, a majority of which is
against the Republican party, but not firmly
decided as to anything else, it is to the last
degree essential that the Confederate ar
mics win one or more decisive battles
within the next thirty or sixty days L
Johnson and Bragg can defeat RoatcrauS
and Burnside, Charleston still holding out
feat Meade with all the aid of his new con
scripts, demoralized and disaffected as the
are represented, then We may expect III,
most fac0rable reSults in the ohio election
and Lincoln Congress. But unless some
thing of the kind is accomplished speedily
then long farewell to peace party-Nal
landigham will be defeated, and Wood an,
his party parolyzed or overawed in. Con
gress, and peace postponed indefinitely
without foreign aid.
In relation to this infamous combination
between tho acknowledgements of Ohio
and the Southern rebels, the editor Of In
RepuJHcan well remarks, as follows
There is not in the worlds history an,
recond of trcachery so black as this article
shows the traitors of Ohio to be engaged in
Yallandigham declares that the success o
Southern arms alone could give strength
and consistency to the peace movement
| Which means that if ouly enough of ON
bravo brethren at Chattanooga can b,
slaughtered Valandigham can be elected
And says the rebel paper, In order favor
ably to effect the Ohio election, it is to tn,
last degree essential that the Confederat,
armies win one or more decisive battles
within the next thirty or sixty days. |
Johnston and Bragg can defeat Rosecran
and Burnside, then we may expect the mos
favorable results from the Ohio election"
Now we ask all the other candidates OF
the peace ticket if this is so. Can it be tru,
that the price of your election is the life
blood of the brave boys down on the front
Do you realize the awful truth that the reb
els of Georgia are longing to see the Val
landigham ticket elected, and with such We
hemcnt desire, that to secure success TO
you they are willing to hazard one or mor
battles for your and their sake. NaIlandig
ham, your leader says that your election
depends on the defeat of the Union arms
The rebel C0HstitWiOndijSt urges that Ono
more battle be fought to fvorably eifcc
your election prospects. Are the dispatchc
from the Army of the Cumberland music tC
your ears? Are you spcculating how mucl
tho blood of the $4,000 Ohio wounded anC
slain profit you on election day? And why
did rebellion choose TO encompass and over
whelm Rosecrans with whom most Of th,
Ohio troops arc? Why says the COHSHi',
tiORuliSt, In order to fdvorably effect th'
Ohio election" 1t is true that Seymour amC
his "fricnds," the New York rioters, are tt
some extent responsible. The considerable
force subtracted from Meade, to render the
draft effective in New Gork, enabled Lee tt
spare Longstreet and corps OF rebels tC
concentrate upon ROsecrans. 1t was lIor
alto Seymour, Copperhead Governor of New
York, that sent LOngstreet upon his mission
to fdrOrdbiy effect he Ohio election. On
the historic days Of September 10 and 20
1868, the heroic columns from Ohio, undc
their gallant leader met the shock OF Tho
combined forces, not only OF Bragg anC
Lougstreet, but of the peace men IN New
York and the Nallandgham men of ONO
And the battle was preciptated by the
rebels, and the sides of the lookout noun
tains were REDEEMED with the blood of on
noble men, of the 18th, of the 10Th, of the
64th and Goth, aud why that NallandiS
ham may be elected in the State of Ohio
Tor says the Constitutionalist, " II rs ht
last degree essential that The C0Veder0t
armies wiR one or more deciSice battle
,ciRR hiry or sirty days IN order 10 fl,
cordJly effect tie Ohio eiectioR.' And /
any one doubts the gcnuineness Of the ahov,
article, they will please call at this oiilc'
and be convinced.
Day by day, broader and clearer grow
the evidence that the leaders of the pcac
party, whether cloakcd under Constitutions
bubbles or party hostilities, are in damning
conspiracy with the Richmond devils. i
due time they will be arrayed before th'
tribunal of "a just God, and punished fo
the crimes they are perpc.ratng agains
the liberties of the people and the intcgrit.
of this country under the cloak of Democ
racy.
