FAcTs.-The laboring man who wants a
new dress for his wife, is now compelled to
pay from seventy-fve cents, to one dollar
a yard for it. When We had Democratic
President we could buy it for t,oelre cents
Under the Democratic Administration the
laboring man could afford to drink tea and
coffee, and use sugar in his family; but
since Lincoln came IN power, these useful
little luxuries have had to be abolished
from thousands of honest households, on
account of their enormous prices. Under
Democratic Administrations the laboring
man could clothe his little ones neatly, that
they might visit the house of God once a
week, but now many families are deprived
of that privilege, because they are naked
and hungry And 50 on until the end of
long and drcary chapter The poor man
cries out against such enormous wrongs,
and prays that We may have those peaceful
and prosperous times again; and the only
way is to change the head of the Govern
ment, and bring it back to the good old
Democratic rule, and all will be well.

CoRREcTIoN.-The Republican of last
week, complains that Republicans were ex-
cluded from the Court House when the
election was held Also that the polls were
closed at noon and the ballot-box taken out
to dine.
When the polls were about to be opened
in the morning John Corbus and Wash
Everett were on hand and wanted men,
Der of the board. This was objected by
Democrats present. The other party used
to have control Of this township and then
Democrats got no favors of that kind, nor
do they get Il representation any place where
Abolitionists have the power to prevent it.
Even when Lincon's lotteries for men arc
drawn, Democrats have no interest in them
except to be drafted We are under no OBJ
legations to give any such tavors. nor have
we any disposition to do so.
The room was not closed against Aboli-
tionists or any others The West door of
the Court House was open all day, and any
person could pass in and out at pleasure,
and many of both parties did so.
The polls were not closed at noon and the
box taken out to dine, nor were they closed
at any other time during the day, either
this year or last year
There is not one word of truth in the Re
pnJlicam's article. The election board is
composed Of men who cannot be harmed
by the talsehoods and base insinuations of
the editor OF the Republican, John Corbus
Bill Wireman or Andy Teschcr
There is not a truthful man in Mllersburg
who knows anything about it, but who will
say the Republicans article, to which we
have alluded, is false from beginning to
end.

REFLECT Upon IT-A point in Lincoln $
policy comes right home to this community.
From fifty to seventy-fivc men from this
community, Of the lO2d Regiment, have
been taken prisoners by the rebels Under
Lincoln's policy of no exchange until negro
soldiers arc recognized the same as whites
these men must pine in rebel prisons fol
months, perhaps for years. The wives,
families and friends Of these men are com
PEELED to ponder upon the sad reflection
that Lincoln's love for the negro is the
cause of them suffering in Southern prison
-confned--destitute of medicines
bercft of comforts--lost to the country
probably to return no more forever Re
fleet upon it and then shout for the negro
loving Widow Maker.

OIsITU AIRY.

DIED-Octobcr 18th, 1864, THOMAS o. WORRIES
aged just 30 years.
Tho deceased was out rs one OF the hundred
days men in the service of his country, In which
he contracted the disease that deprived the
friends of most amiablc and beloved child, the
community of q citizen whose walk and con
versation was ever that of n pure christian, ano
an upright citizen. Long will the deceased be
remembered by those who knew him best AS Q
most worthy young man, of the purest morals
and most exemplary life.
DIED-At her fathers residence in Mlllers-
burg Oct. 3d. ofa lingering consumption, Mrs
MARIAN WOODS. daughter of J. & y. AlbertSon
in the 3ith year of her age.
For number of years the deceased had been
II faithful and consistent member of the Dsci-
pies Church. and died in full hope OF part in
the first resurrection. She leaves n large circle
Of kind friends, an absent husband and a bright
cncrub boy to mourn her loss, which is her
eternal gain. God will temper the wind to his
shorn lambs. The lonely cadence of the autumn
wind, the gentle dropping of the yellow leaves,
tho silent dissolving of nature is a fit sequel to
her departed spirit NJ.

day, denounced the Democratic as a rebel
