"have you any disease about you that
would not naturally show itself to the

The Abolition Game OF ERtinaid Il =
ntion in the Army.

We SEQ almost daily something ike
the following in the Abolition papers,
1t is prompted and instigated, in each
case, by persons who have divested them
selves of their manhood for the poor
privilege of sporting shoulder straps and
lording it for brief period over thcir fel
low men. The Cincinnati Times prints
an extract from letter. which it claims
to have received from soldier, and gives
prominence to this passage
They said (speaking Of the 41st Ohio)
if there was Vallandigham man among
them, they would hang him. They said
if some one would cut old Val, in two
hundred pieces, they would agree to get
two hundred men to eat him, and then
get rid of his sinking carcass"
This is the game of intimidation that
is now being played. The petty Abo-
ition tyrants in the army carry out the
behests of the Abolition leaders at home;
and when Democratic soldier SAYS he
intends to vote the Democratic ticket,
they "buck and gag" him, and threaten
to hang him. Such outrageous conduct
on the part of the minions of Abraham
Lincoln and David Tod will surely
re-inspire and re'invigorate the fathers
and brothers at home of Democratic sol
diers, to almost superhuman effort. to
place in power once more the good old
party that has ever been for the Union
and the Constitution, and is to-day our
only hope of national salvation.-States-

kiii Pugh, thurman, and 9th

The Cincinnati En9uiaer Of tho ID,
contains the following dispatch from
UrichSvile, undor date of the lst:
The second attempt to throw the train
containing Pulh, Thurman, White and
friends off the track. was moro successful
than the first. The train. which left
Cadiz Junction this morning at 6 o'clock.
on the p. o. and q. II. r., was thrown
from tue track and completely smashed
One OF the rails was mysteriouSly broken
aud it is supposed to have been the work
Of the same Abolition villains from Steu-
benvile, who placed distractions on the
Cadiz junction Saturday night under the
impression that Pugh was on board the
passing train. Two passenger cars, iull OF
people. were completely smashed, but
fortunately no one was seriously injured.
Pugh escaped with scratch, Judge Thur,
man, was somewhat bruised, and several
other passengers received severe bruises.
The party were en- route for New Phila-
delphia, where Democratic meeting is
held to-day. a

traordinary precautions against accidents
but no foresight on their part could have
prevented the occurrence.

The DRAFT In Ohio.

In order 10 aid the Abolition cause in
this State. d. Tod has thought proper
to state in some of the meetings Of that
party, Tint there would be no draft in
Ohio. His object was Of course to save
the sinking cause Of his party. But other
sections inquire why is this ? And the
result is dissatisfaction in other States.
who know they are at least even with
Ohio in furnishing troops, aud to ap.
pease these it has to be semi. officially de.
MED that thero will DO no draft in this
State. If anybody here is skeptica on
tho subject just lot them wait until the
election is over and their doubts will soon
be removed. OF course the draft will
then go on, and Dave Tod had no au.
thoriiy under the sun to say it would not.
The statement was only a Tod abridg-
ment OF the truth
The draft might be saved in Ohio II
tho young men of the Tod,Brough-
Wada-Greeley school of Unionism would
volunteer; but that they will not do.-
They each go for the "last man." barring
one, and that is themselves They will
abuse their neighbors and impugn their
loyalty, but as to volunteering themsel YES,
that is quite different matter. When
that is talked Of they are silent. States.

EreCmCn, be Active.

If the fair fields Of this once happy and
united conederacy are not to be trodden
by the lirelings Of Despotism; if the flag
of our nations pride is to continue its
stars and stripes floating high as the EN-
blems Of our liberty, and inviting the
down-trodden and oppressed of other
clmes to take shelter under its protecting
folds; if Peace, like the shadow of an
Angels wing again encircles this once
blessed land; if mourning aud sorrow are
to be driven away and this nation to be
come hoppy agsin, rejoicing in the beauty
OF he heritage and the promise Of her days
if the fathers, husbands, and sons, who
are now engaged in the conflict Of arms
and the shock Of battle, are to be returned
to tho fond embrace of those who are
mourning tbeir absence and trembling
lest they fail; If these things are desired,
let old and young, male and female, devote
every day, every hour, from now until
the Second Tuesday of October to secure
the election of CLEMENT l.. VALLANpra.

The Conservation.

There seems to be no truth in the re port
tnat Ohio is to be credited with her sur.
plus on former enlistments and thereby
escape the conscription. Nor is there any
authority for saying tho number deman
ded will be less than about 40, 900. All
the management of this matter is kept
hidden from the people who are so much
interested in it. There is no doubt about
the draft taking place, but it will proba
bly, be postponed until after the election
for political purposes. Save your $500
you will need it yet to buy your freedom
papers from King LINCOLN.

The Mass Meeti ng at CoshOcton.

The Democratic Mass Meeting at Co-
shocton, on Wednesday, September. ID,
was one of the grandest demonstrations
of the campaign. 1t was 40 far ahead of
the Brough meeting. held at the same
place several weeks earlier, that the con.
trast is positively annibilating to Black
Republicshism. Our meeting was BY far
the largest ever held in Ooshooton Co.,
lhe professions extended for miles, and
when they came together in one vast as
semblage. it was literally ian army with
banners" and covered acres of ground.
Hon. George Il. Pugh, Hon. A. G, Thur
man, Col. G. w. Andrews, Major d. w.
stambaugh. and others, ably and effec.
lively addressed the immense multitude
from several different stands. 1t was a
great occasion, and will long be remem-
bered as one of the largest and best meet
ings ever held in Ohio Statesman.

came to page 60, when he exclaimed,
All i! here is a speech delivered by the
noble and patriotic Vallandigham. |
have often admired that speech, as onun.
cating sound political sentiments. Let
me read you an entract or two from it,.
He then read as follows:
"Bnt, Mr.. Nbarman, there are some
things that gentlemen ought to under

y grant you, freoley and frank
ly, that l do not believe this government

question that there is to be ultimately a
separate confederacy. have no idea
that such a war would end otherwise than
in separation Of the Union, and the or

who snpposes that fifteen, or even seven

gated, as conquered provinces, makes a
great mistake. But, whether they can
or not, they ought not to be. 1t is against
the spirit and genius of the age, and no
man ought to seek to do it,"
Stop, stop. says the Republican; don't

Worn Tl,rcasfbare.

The green-back patriotism of the abo-
litionists has worn threadbare. The hon
est masses are discovering what kind of
material their boasted loyalty is made Of.
They are discovering that tine old disunion
abolitionists who make professions of 10y
ally are only loyal to the nigger-not to
the Constitution. They are beginning to
to see, too. that the lifelong Democrats
who run the niger machine are praising
Uncle Sam because they have their hands
in his pockets robbing him.

The Democratic meetings still keep on
getting larger. The meetings held last

tho many meetings in various parts ol
of the State. The meeting at Wooster
Tomorrow promises to be very large

tremendous meeting will como off at Mt.

Atn time have the people of any State
been so wide awake and deeply aroused
to the necessity Of attending the polls as
are the Union loving people of Ohio at
this time, Political meetings never before
compared in numbers and enthusiasm
with the Democratic meetings of this
campaign, while on the other hand the
disnnion abolition gatherings are thinly
attended and wanting in spirit. The po-
''ticai horizon Is radient with bright pros
prospects for re -cementing and perpetua-
ting the glorious old Union of our fathers,
and securing to ourselves and all coming
generations the blessings of Constitution

From the Lagan Gazettcl

lrioih Tue LnSan uaZetteJ
LET not the people be deceived by ig-
norant or bad men. If they desire to
know what Mr.. Nallandigham has said
and done, let them read his Record,
or the Congressional Globe. This will
convince them that he is as true patriot
as ever lived.
Is it not proof that the friends of Mr..
Nallandigliam hnoW that the people will
approve what he has said and done. when
they ask the people to study his official
Record? Aud when they print and circu-
late that Record by thousands over the
country?
Is it not conclusive proof of the hon.
esty ard good fai'h Of Democratic leaders.
that they refuse to go into the Repub rcap
party, though constantly ivi,ed to DO so.
where they might get big aflices aud fat
contracts.
Why don't Joha Brough publish tho
full correspondence between himself and
the State authorities, in relation to half
fare for soldiers? The answer is at hand!
Because he refused to convey them for
less than whole fare. This is the truth.
1t was his own party friends who first
revealed tho damniug and disgraceful
truth.
lr Is an outrageous wrong, as well as
insult to the soldier, to give him the right
to vote, and yet deprive him Of the means
ol reading and hearing both sides, SO as to
know how to vote.
DOES not every Republican see that
the bay onet rule, enforced in MARYLAND.
Virginia, and Kentucky, permits no m an
to vote except as the oppressor desires?
Do the Republicans always intend to go
blindly in favor Of whoever chance to be
rulers? DONE they see that the mo-
ment they oppose the policy of Their
rulerS, that tier liberties are gone, as
well as those Of the Democracy?
WHEAT is about eighty cents bush
Ell. This, considering the prico of dry
goods, groceries, etc, is not more than
forty cents would have been in Demo-
cratic days. If the crop this year had
not been partially failure, the price
would not have been as high as it is.
If the Democracy are beaten this fall,
look out for Conscription, Taxation, and
Despotism without end. The people will
never have another chance at the ballot
box. except under the bayonet, as in
Kentucky. The power Of our oppressors
will then be assured, and they will do as
they please.
A BROTHER OF Charley Anderson, and
OF Major Anderson of Sumpter fame, re-
sides in Pickaway county, Ohio, and has
published strong letter in favor of Val
landigham.
OLD Ton and other Republicans, went
on to Washington, and begged the Gov
eminent not to draft in Ohio until after
the election, for fear it might beat the
