Reasons why the Administra- =
lion do not wish the War 10
End uf Present,

II the war were ended and the Union re-
stored, the secession States would be entitled
10 vote at the next Presidential election ard
most certainly would not vote to continue this
Administration or TO bring in another of the
same instincts and purposes, which would de-
stroy all their hopes Hence they will not
consent thus to render their own defeat Ger.
tain +; Lut will contine the wsr until after the
election. All this is demonstrated by the past
historyof,the Administration, and he fact that
more attention is being paid to put down the
Democrats at the elections than to suppress
the rebellion. Where is the noble army oi
the Potomac, and what is it doing
Why are drafts held ia some States and moi
in others Why is one State permitted to
avoid the draft by securing volunteers, while
the same thing is refused TO other States
Why is martial law declared in some State.
where there is no war, and not in others /
Why is free speech allowed ia one State aud
not in another Why is the judiciary tram
Piled upon in one State and not IN another
The reasons are obvious. Everything is
managed with reference to The elections, and
not for peace aad restoration of the Union -
Washington Constitution.
The only way to get out of this war is fol
the people to vote the leaders out who are
prostituing it to party purposes. Vote
against the shoddy dealers, the Govern.
ment swindlers, cotton thieves, and amy
contractors, and you will soon have peace
and Union. You will then have no NOR
conscripts, no more widows and ophans
Vote down Abolitionism and you win Kill
secession. Strike at the root of our ma
tional troubles and the cure will be per
manent. Vote against BRouGn and hii
negro-equality followers.

Congress to Abolish slavery.

Twenty years ago, Henry Clay said OF the
Abolitionists
"With them, the rights of property are no
thing the deficiency of the powers of the
general Government are nothing; the acknow
lodged and ncontestible powers of tho States
are nothing the dissolution Of the Union
and the overthrow of government in which
are concentrated the hopes Of the civilized
world, are nothing, A single idea has taken
possession Of their minds, and onward they
pursue il. overlooking all barriers, reckless
and regardless of all consequences"

A Free CnnntrY.

Hon. G. L. Yallnndigham is still an ex
lie from his country, whose laws he has never
offended but always gave his voice and inhu-
ence to maintain. A free citizen of the State
of Ohio and of the United States, he was seiz.
ed by the mailed hand of arbitrary, despotic
power, torn from his home and family, and
from the Jurisdiction of the Courts, State and
Federal arraigned before a Court Martial,
tried, convicted for no crime known to the
laws, and the favorite penalty Of tyrants meted
out to him. The only offense of which Mr.,
Yalandigham was guilty was that OF too fer
vent and devoted attachment to the Consttu-
ton and laws of his country For that offence,
and for no other, he is now an exile, within
view of his own country to be sure, but debarr-
ed from the benefit and protection Ct its laws,
Az Windsor, in Canada West, he waits patient
y for the time when liberty in this country
shall be so far restored as to permit his re.
turn. Should he DO elected Governor of the
State from which he has been driven by arbi-
trary power, II will become the duty of the
freemen, not only of Ohio, but Of America, 10
see to it that he is inaugurated
In the meantime, the United States Steam
eF Michigan lies in tho river between Detroit
and Windsor watching the exiled patriot, for
fear that he will make his way back 10 his ma.
tive State. A regiment of sodiers have also
been sent to Detroit 10 prevent the exile from
crossing over to the "Land Of the free (2')
But whether or not Valandigham is called
back by the voice of the people of Ohio, yet
will he live in the hearts of all true patriots
as the advocate of his countrys laws, and the
defender ofthe peoples rigbIa His wrongs
are the peoples and in vndicating his rights
the people will but assert their own. Bansh,
ell for no other crime--buta manly and deter
mined defence of his country's liberties, yet
may it be truly said that
''Nlore true JOY the patriot exiled feels,
Than Linco n with Senate at his heels"

From the Richmond Examiner of the 10th
FROM General Lee's Army.

General Lees army and also in that Of the

General Lees forces were in line of battle

enemy were reluciaut to lake up the gauntlet,
and fell back upon every indication Of an ad-
vance of the Confederate tEooRs 4 littla

lines was the only indication they gave of a
willingness TO fight If Meade was 10 COM

on general battle, but by setting our corps
in motion 10 asceFtain tho number Of our
troops and their positions. The enemy had
made no determined effort to cross the river
up to noon by scouts, who went within the
enemys lines, and returned, it has been ascer-
tanned that the Yankees had cooked five day s
rations, showing that the movement was one
that contemplated either a march or battle,

! Its offensive alike to good sense and good
taste to hear men who belong to ephemeral
political organizations which, like Jonah s
gourd, spriRg up in night and wither in a
I day, launching their malignant ISLANDERS
against party which had It's birth in the FIRST
"Reign OF Terror, grew to vigorous stature
under Jefferson, Madison and jackson, and
has hitherto shown its power to tread down
and crush out every pretension to aristocracy
and despotism in the government These
ephemera should some time learn that party
which is built upon the Constitution, and
draws all i;s inspirations from Libe.ty and
Justice which while in power administers
the laws impartally and when out of power
seeks to compel those who are in to do so
which has always so conducted the Govern
ment that none we're oppressed and all were
prosperous; which acknowledges and CON
forms to all the obligations and eonvensnts
Of the Constitution and disdaiBs to exercise
powers not granted BY the laws; which hates
despotism and loves freedom, and which looks
to the people as The source OF all Just power
these parties OF a day should we say, some
time learn that the great party, so born, so
nurtured, and so educated, is not to be put
down, or its domnancy arrested for any
length OF time, by any enginery which they
can bring to bear against it, Year after
year they die, pass away, and appear again
in new shapes, with new names and IDEAS

ldAers "shut up" the ParsOn.
The Columbia City Qnd) Nelcs, Of the
10th instant says
Last week we received letter from an
Ohio soldier in the army of the Cumberland,
written at Nashville, Tennessee, which, if il
were not strictly marked private, wo should
like to lay before our readers We cant,
however, help disclosing the most important
part of it. The writer, for whose veracily we
vouch, says that his regiment was invited a
few days ago to listen to a speech from the
notorious Parson Brownlow, an empty, low
flung windbag politician, who, if he were not
a knave and coward, would back up bis
hypocritcal professions of "oyalty" by shonl
dering the musket himself instead Of traduc.
ing his superiors in intellect and every other
moral quality that adorns an honorable man
The regiment accepted the invitation The
Parson made the promised speech, and as
might have been expected INDUCED in very
violent abuse of the noble and patriotic Va J.
landigham, now in exile, calling him traitor
&c-, &c. The regiment became dspeased al
tho style OF the Parsons speech and manifest
ed its disapprohation of his remarks by giving
him to understand that he must cease his
abuse of Vallandigham or stop speaking
The Parson subsidized and became very docle
all his vaunted bravery which he exhibited
while in the North forsaking him This is q
Democratic regiment, made up Of the besi
fighting material, and has sttested its devotion
to the Union on more ibaa one hatly contest
