PORTRAIT OF LINCOLN.

Senator JOHN SHERMAN OF Ohio made
one of his magnetic speeches in Sandusky
last week, to vast audience that inclined TO
every word Of his oratory. In the midst of
his powerful augmentation, he threw off q
personal sketch of ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
which viii be recognized every where as life
Ike
Il know Old Abe, and [ tell you there Is
not at this hour more patriotic, or truer
man living than that man Abraham Lam
coin. Some say he Is an imbecile; but he
not only held MS own IN his debates with
Douglass, whose power is admitted, and
whom | considered the ablest intellect in the
United States Senate, but got little the
better OF him. He has been deliberate and
slow, but when he puts his foot down, It is
with the determination and certainty with
which our generals take their steps, and like
them, whenhe takes 4 Cityhe never gives 1t
up This firm old man Is noble and kind
hearted, he IS a child of the people. 90 to
him with q stcry Of woe, and he viii weep
like a child This man. so condemned,
works more hours shan any other President
that ever occupied the chair. His solcitude
for the public welfare Is never-ceaslng. L
differed from him at first myself but ut last
felt and believed that he was II ght, and shall
vote for this brave, true, patriotic, kind
hearted man All his faults you have seen.
All his virtues you never can know. His pa
tienoe in labor is wonderful. He works far
harder than any man ia Erie County. At
the bead Of thisgreat nation, looi, at it; he
has ali thabills 20 sign passed ~ Congress.
No one can be appointed TO any oihce with
out his approval; no one can be punished
without the Judgment receives his signature,
and no one paTdoned without his hand.
This man, always right, always just we
propose now to reelec6 TO the Presidency.
To swap off such a man as this, my coun-
tlylnen, for Mcclellan, idle, incompetent,
and unwilling, would, in my opinion, be
deviiish poor trade. >

The Hot-Mutton Pie Democracy.


We have seldom seen a more apt illustrs-
ton than the following by George Sennott,
a Boston lawyer, famous for having defend
ed old John Brown, in late speech at kox-
bury:
''One freezing February morning negro
hawked mutton pies IN basket round Fan
euIl Hail Square, roaring out Hot mutton
pies. Hot mutton pies y teanIster bought
and tried TO bite one, but found it frozen
as hard as the curb stone. What do you
call them hot for, you black and blue swind
Ter. yelled the teamster TO the shivering
pielnan. 'Ny--wy-a white man guy EN-
TO me hot this mornin' Well. you fool it
didn take ten minutes to freeze them In
that old basket Why cali them hot now ?
Wy-God bless you dat's de name ob dem
de name 10 dem! If | didn't holler de
right name 90 dem nobody wouldn't tetcb
en-! You want me To h0!er freeze pies [
suppose: No, Sa You can I fool me dat
way
Thus it is with the Democratic party.
They received from jefferson and Jackson,
as a free gift, their principles. Those gifts
they Ineanly put up for sale aud hawk round
IN the deadly market Of slavery to freeze up
IN their shabby old party basket. They roar
ont, DemOcratic principles Democratic
principles for sale being understood. And
when you pay the price Of your vote for
them, goa find slavery benuInbing your I'm
gers, paralyZing your tongue, contracting
your heart and turning Your stomach. Ask
the swindlers why they call such stuff De-
mocracy, and they tell YOU blandly that Mr.
Jefferson gave them the original article
that they have kept it ever siuce-that it is
just as good as new, only not quite SO warm
perhape-and that you really mustn't quar-
rel with the pieman, for what he calls il Ia
its name. Ii you want 1t more Democratic,
you may take il home 20 your State and
5carH, it; but IN the meantime do not inter

Eleet Little nc and What Then 2

Aye elect Little Mae, and then look out
for the opening OF the Sixth Seal. For then
you may expect the assumption of the reb-

your own a total of nearly $1,000, 900, 600

tiscaJIons, a. much more, making your ma
ti0nal debt Sc, 900 900 COO.
Elect Little Mac, for then you viii never
recover a dollar from England for the spoil
atIons on your commerce committed by reb-
ei PryateeTs, fitted out IN British ports and
manned with British creWs-a nice little sum
of 800, 00O, 900.
Elect Little Mac, and compromise your
troubles by paying pensions to wounded reb-
ei soldiers tor lighting your own brethren by
these rebel braves.
Elect Little Mae, and have Lee. Beaure-
gard Bragg, &c, come back into the service
which they have left in dishonor and pay
them from your treasury the same salaries

mon armies.
Elect Little Mac, and abandon to the ten
der mercies of the slave oligarchs the Union
families Of the South who have aided our
cause, and the Union men who have fought

ARMED DEMOCRATIC CONSPIRACY.

The evidence adduced on the trial Of DODD,
at indianapolis, grows stronger and stronger
as it progresses lii developing the conspiracy
OF the Democratic leaders in the Western
States to overthrow the Government
The evidence thus far adduced is clear in
showing that the Democratic secret societies
throughout the " est were military organiza-
tlons, and we're designed TO be used, at the
proper time, to cooperate with rebel armies
that We're TO be thrown by Price into Mis-
souri,, and 10y BRECKINRIDGE and BCCKNER
into Kentucky; that kALLANDIGHAM. the
pilot of MCCLELLAN 5 fortunes, was the
Commander-in-chiefo Of this brotherhood Of
traitors, and It's inspiring genius that he
had, as such Commander-in-chief fora staff

MORGAN stat, and who was captured and
escaped with MORGAN, and TO whom, rs a
Son OF Liberty, was committed the duty Of
releasing the prisoners on johnson S Island

Fallandigham s sOrderwera armed-that the
number enrolled in the lodges Of Illinois was

hands aud be friends that the invasion
Of Missouri was posted in the Order for Oc-
toger aud that 1t was understood IN the
lodges that Price army-now progressing
would stay in Missouri at least until after
the election.
That the present invasion Of Missouri IS
the fruit Of this arrangement, there can be
do doubt, The death of John Morgan and
other slight accidents TO the Contederacy,

conspirators but this is faithfully carried

"HURRAH FOR MCCLELLAN r' 4
s REBEL, BATTLE-ORY.

IF England and France want measure OF
the strength and endurance of the Ameri-
can People, and Of Republican Institutions,
let them watch the wonderful spectacle
which this Presidential canvass presents
OF the quiet establishment by a popular vote
OF Government Of the United States for
new term Of four years, ia the very midst
OF a civil war, huger in lis proportions and
more sanguinary IN its earnestness than the
world has ever seen. The American armies
Will fight and vote In the same hours. and
On the same ground, on the Sth Cay of No
yember, IN the year Of Gods protecting
grace TO Democracy, 1864 Our soldiers

firing, and IN the intervals of loading their
pieces, debate with their adversaries across
the death-space that divides the intrench-
ments, the politics which uphold the war on
one side and demand peace on the other
Wonderful fact, and to be seen nowhere else
on this earth More wonderful. and 10 us
Americans noteworthy particularly: regi-
ments and brlgadcs Of our own and the reb-
ct troops debate this political issue, necessa-
rly In the short war-cries TO which the occa-
sion limits discussion debates them on
open fields of battle, and IN the midst Of
charges, and through the crashing Of mus
kety and the thunder Of artillery. From
out CT the smoke that curtained the Rebel

ACCORDING TO GUNTHBR.

The Peace Democratic Mayor Gunther- of
New York, has declined to comply with
request, made by the Common Council, that
he should issue proclamation directing
general illumination in honor Of the recent
victories. He says that if he should do 50
those citizens who declined to illuminate or
were unable to do so would be denounced as
dislofal; secondly, because the victories are
claimed by those in power to be not Union
victories, but the result of the Enancipa-
ton Proclamation; aud, thirdly, because, if
we are to believe the Administration papers,
we shall have Il succession of the victories,
and the city would have 20 be kept in a state
of constant illumination and, further, that
il ,S not the practice of civilized nations to
rejoice over victories obtained during civil
war
Inasmuch as the peace organs have all not
only abstaine3 from eXuiting over the late
victories, but have generally disparaged de-
preciated or lameDted them, is was hardly
20 be expected that a man so entirely In ac-
cord with them as Gunther should, either
officially or as private citizen, do anything
to celebrate them. His heartis III sylnpa-
thy with the South He looks upon yictO-
ries at this time solely with the eyes of a pO-
litical partisan. In order that his party may
triumph at the next election it is desirable
that there should be no victories for the u
Mon armies 1t is necessary that something
should occur to enable the Democracy to
keep up the cry that the war has been fail
ure. If Grant : army should be destroyed
there might be chance of eiecting McCel-
Ian. What matter. if score OF thousands
of brave men perish, provided the spois Of
Office for the next four years be secured for
the so-calied Democrats? Gunther mes
sage is exactly in the spirit of the Chicago
platform. He wants cessation Of hosbi-
tiles Grant Sheridan, Sherman, and
Farasut are going in direct opposition TO
the platform when they fight the rebels.
OF coarse Mayor Gunthcr cannot be expect
ed to celebrate their victories.

Prominent Damoorats for Linooln.


The Chambersburg Repository sums up
the prominent Pennsylvanians who have
given their support to Mr.. LINCOLN. 1t re
calls the fact that in 1860 Gov. Packer, Cab
iuet was opposed to Mr.. Lincoln. Now Mr.
HeiSter is the Union candidate for Congress
in Berks, and Mr. Knox is stumping the
State for Lincoln. Hon James l.: Rey-
-nolds brother of the late Gen. Reynolds,
who fell at Gettysburg was on the Demo
cratic Electoral ticket in IS60-now he is
zealously for Lincoln Gen. Mccall, who led
the gallant Pennsylvania Reserves through
the Peninsular campaign under Mcclellan,
and who ran as the Democratic candidate
for Congress in Chester in 1862, espoused
the cause OF Lincoln as soon as Mcclellan
was nominated. So with Judge Cunning
ham, Of Beaver; General Geary, of West
moreland Hon. Daniel Dougherty, Hon.
n. B. Browne, Buchanan Postmaster !;
Hon. B. T. Brewster, Hon. D. Paul Brown;
Hon W. Strong, Democratic Judge of the
Supreme Court, and others in Philadelphia
Hon. John Cessna, of Bedford; Hon John
Rowe, Of Franklin; Hon. John Scott, Of
Huntingdon, and many others, who we're
leaders in the Democratic party in 1860, are
now earnest in the support of Mr.. Lincoln.

Close up in Front {? Forward 2

which is last approaching and which viii be
fought in November. 1t was rec0nnois-
sancc IN force to. feel the Numbers and posi-
ton of the enemy Having fully accom-
plished all we desired, and ascertained the
exact strength and position OF the enemy, it
now becomes necessary for the front along
the whole line Of the great Union army TO
be closed up, every man at his post, every
soldier ready for the mighty struggle and

intend to present US with triumph The
bold bad men who hrve deluded ignorant
people into their support, and who lead the
factions composing the Democratic party,
are determined to die hard Defeated Tues
day, they will only fight the fisrccr a
month hence. Utterly lost to shame or the
influence Of principle, our opponents are re-
solved to light the coming contest for results
OF personal revenge, for the creation OF an
anarchy, if possible, throughout the free
States. which viii ingulph the whole coun-
try in the bloody wave OF civil war.
Oiw' friends mast at once set dbo1d re-OF-

his party now-the man who neglects to
make every effort for the increase of our
vote, has no claim upon the blessings Of a
good government, no interest IN the hope Of
a speedy end OF the war and restoration Of
the whole country TO peace and prosperity.

Drowned in a spoonfuI Of Water.

4 Unionist OF this city sauntered into a
group OF Rebel deserters, f6rty-one in mum
Der. on the corner of 10th and I streets, in
Washington, last week, and was edited to
learn from tie whole Of them that the
fighting temper Of Lees and Early,s ar
mics was maintained wholly by the hope
that Mcclellan would be elected President
They declared, too, that if this hope was
disappointed, the Rebel soldiers would gen
orally feel their cause was gone, and would
desert to Us by batalions. One of the lot, a
German, was stormy in his denunciation of
Mcclellan He said, had that General
