despair of the Republic, nor do we see
why every such man should not take one
step farther, and cast his ballot in the
right direction.
Some such men profess aud honestly be-
lieve themselves, to be supporters of the
war. With no desire 70 hold their con-
victions up to ridicule, but rather with an
earnest hope of showing Inconsistency, we
suggest that any such man ask himself
in what way is he a supporter of the war7
Theoretically or practically If theOreti-
caliy only, he is ft only for an ideal repub-
lie like that of Plato, and is not competent
to be citizen of the United States. If
practically, then, with all the, earnestnsss,
and sOlemnity even, with which the fmpor.-
lance of the election tomorrow inspires Us,
as we'll as him,-we ask him in what way
he supports the war; Tho Spectator says,
in one of his essays. that5he hasia general
belief in witchcraft, but that he gives NO
credit to any particular instance of it. It
is in q corresponding manner that our
friends who are divided in their miBds,
support the war. They give it the general
aud worthless support of their quiet assent,
but withhold the particular and practical
support of their votes.
The wishes of the army upon this SUBJ
ject are entitled to the profOundsst respect.
When three years ago we sent men from
this city and surrounding country to the
front, to receive blows that would otherwise
have fallen upon ourselves, we made no
special promise to stand by them and de-
fend them from their enemies at home. No
one dreamed of the necessity OF such q
promise then. But if we had taken hum
dred oaths We should not have been more
thoroughly bound than we are BY that i'm
piled agreement, on the faith of which our
brothers have shed their blood. There is
no doubt as to what are the wishes of the
army. If there had been, the redemption
of Pennsylvania from political disgrace by
the votes of her soldiers would have re-
moved it. Neither will the army accept
the idle excuse of personal dislike Of
4 want of confidence in, Mr.. Lincoln
No political miracle Is to be worked to-
by which both candidates will be
defeated, and the Presidential chair filled
with ghostly successor of supernatural
perfection. Choice will be made between
Two men, one of whom ,OH be elected
Neither of them will be voted for as men,
put as representatives of widely different
The contest is not about per-
sons, but about the destiny of the republic.
One party will say: We are not voting for
we are voting for peace-peace
At any hazard and at any price. The other
will say: And we are not voting for Mr..
Lincoln, we are voting for the prosecution
Of the war, We are voting for the preserva-
lion of the republic.

liz an article this morning, we have adj
dressed ourselves to class of voters who
to- morrow intend to support Mcclellan,
irrespective of his partner, PeudletOu, aud
of the Chicago platform, upon which both
we're nOminsted. There is another class
to whom we desire to say parting word.
We mean those who do not intend to cast
their vote for either candidate. Personally
they are opposed to Mr.. Lincoln, and so
are they also opposed to the disgraceful
peace movement. They are, many of them,
in favor OF what they understand to be
democratic principles, but they are also
decidedly in favor of war measures. Thus
divided in opinion they cherish the vain
delusion that they are not called upon to
take up on either side. 1t is undeniable
that 1T the Republic must die, there is a
kind of propriety in permitting this politi.
cal apathy which has injured It SO much,
to give IL the finishing stroke. 1t is equal
" nudeuiable that, as half loaf is better
than none, it lie better not to vote at all
than to vote wrong. But we do not yet
