a DtsgruccGul Fact.

Notwithstanding the terrible defeat OF Gener.
al Rosccrans by an overwhelmingly superior
force of rebels the administration persists in
the military occupation of Ohio and other loyal
States. In the face of the impe ious demand for
every available soldier in the tielG thousands OF
men are to be furloughcd from the army to vote
the abolition ticket in New York and Penusyl-
vana, in addition to the enormous force already
stationed in the loyal States. 1t is thus that
the administration, under pretence of saving the
Union from division by the rebels, is using eve
ry power at its command to disintegrate and
destroy it. Ha these troops, needlessly station
cd in the Northern States been in the field
whore they properly belong, Rosccrans army
instead of being borne down by numbers, woulC

and Absalom Baker to look honest men
in the eye and say, if they can, that they

Millersburg, on Tuesday. And if they
say they did not, we want them then to
explain why they brought armed men
here who boasted of their intentions and
the amount of ammunition they had. We
want them to explain why inohensive

their rowdies, right before their eyes,
without rcbuke, and some times with in
couragement. Their meeting was ut the
Depot and the Democrats were about the
public square, distance of nearly quar-

they sent their armed bullies that distance
with fixed bayonets to charge upon the

Without regard to what may have

to pause ana inquire, as he shall answer
to God and his fellow men, what his du-

the preservation Of the States and State

Union, existing by and under the Con-

most upon u.s. This Is our last entreaty to you
until the ballot.box will proclaim for the free

Fellow Democrats, we beg of you, each and
every one Of you, to leave no stone unturned tc

you to secure lib erty to your children, we enjoir
upon you to do your whole duty in this hour o
our extremity and peril
Next Tuesday, the 18th Of October Is the i'm
portant day. Every true American heart beats
quickly as to the important issues then to be de.
eided--the life or death Of the American Re.
public. The last hope of our expiring nation
hangs upon the success of the Democratic party
The defeat Of the Democracy will add to and
prolong the disaster and ruin that afflicts us. II
will pile upon us heavier loads of taxation. II
will destroy the last hope Of con stitutonal lib
erty. II will drag to the field of carnage and
death hundreds Of thousands more of our citizens
But the triumph of the Democracy will tighten
the burdens Of taxation II will re unite all the
States in the holy brotherhood of Old. 1t will
wake our nation TO newncss Of life The over
shndowing sadness and gloom will be dispersed
The robes of urnng will be thrown aside
The sweet messenger of Peace will tary with
us. The sun OF Constitutional liberty will again
smile upon us. Upon the hill tops aud in the
valleys the people will clap their hands with 10Y
aud shout over their dcliverancc from the hand.

We pray our people to be equal to the great
duty imposed upon them, Every extra effort

your whole duty in this great emergency in which
all is to be won or all Is TO DO lost

Chief Magistrate attaches so much sacredness.

Very Strnnnc.

II Is exceeding strange that men will look at
the state of the country under Democratic rule,
will reflect upon the gorics and prosperity we en-.
joyed and the happiness that surrounded ms and
still cast their votes against return of those
joyful and inestimabo blessings.
! II is past comprehension that honest ard well
meaning men will cast their votes for party
that has been chiefly instrumental in dividing
the Union, bring war upon the country, weighing
the people down with taxation, bringing mourn.
ing to every aresde and delugng the land with
blood.
Have we not had taxation enough sorrow

BRouGH votes for divided Union, for an in
crease Of taxation, for more drafts and for more
widows and fItherless children. Those opposed
to more of these things, and in favor of return
of the good old times we used to have will
