We ask all those who are so fast to have
the present war continued for the express
purpose laid down by the COMMANDMENT.
Chief, at whatever of cost of the best blood
and treasure Of this once peaceful, happy
and prosperous land, to look carefully at
the following list Of casualties In the Grant
campaign, add to it the untold number
slain in all the other engagements and
those lost by disease during nearly four
years of war for the negro as well as the
'last man." yet to meet his fate on the
bloody field or from disease contracted in
camp in the miasmatic swamps of the
South and then say, if they are Of Lincoln's
kept subjects, whether they are or not ear
nestly, anxiously and sensibly in favor Of
an honorable constitutional peace, so de-
.termincdly spurned by the wise executive
head Of this nation, now asking for another
four years of despotic rule at the hands
of clearly unwilling people. Reader, in
our humble and freely gwen opinion, the
watch word Of the people of this heavily
laden country will be, as it is now, until
by their votes in Nov. they declare that
the glorious Constitution is supreme and
not the negro, PEAcE-HoNoRABLE PEACE.

MAJ. UEN. IEINTZELNAN,

If this whole matter shall teach friend
Lefingwell the impropriety of being con
mon carrier of information in any degree
prejudicial to the Union cause-from the
Union party t, the pace press, it will not
be without good results and if it shall
show him the weakness Of going into the
opposition press in the effort to reconcile a
discrepancy to his own dishonor, it will be
better yet.-McGregor News
A decidedly delicate institution the Re-
publican party is getting to be, and brother
George is feeling keenly pricked over the
weakness Of his pet political hopes and will
find it heavy task, indeed, to keep all the
once warm supporters of the abolition
government" at Washington from ex-
pressing freely their conviction of right and
wrong. Something must be to pay when
the party press is forced to check members
high in position-leading members ofthe
dying aiair-who have honesty enough to
tell the truth-the very plainest truth-in
fear that the mere revelation of facts, no
man dare deny, may be the means Of the
utter overthrow Of party which openly
denounces the Constitution and laws of the
nation as being Of no more intrinsic value
than the simple parchment upon which it
is written. Ali George, do you really
know before what manner Of wind you are
being irivene

1--WE have held our tongue till this late
day. We have never uttered word or
syllable derogatory to the best interests of
the party to which We are the adherents
but we have discovered, during the admin
istration Of the present controlling faction,
that our interests have been confided to
the protection of a faithless, unfit body of
honor-seeking, money getting patriots, (y)
who are disinterested in our country's all
pervadng question :-"How shall we best
terminate the WARP" and deeply interested
IN their own personal ACCOMPLISHMENTS
By unskillful administration, we are al this
hour trembling upon the bring Of national
destruction. By man whom we have
every reason to believe honest, but whose
lack of wisdom, and continual supplication
Of disordered brain, have brought a com
plication Of national diseases upon us, and
we are obliged to face oncomng calamilies
which threaten to engulf US in deeper
woe than that which at this time surrounds

manifest determination Of the Republican

we are playing into the hands OF the Demo-
cratic party. Democratic party say you,
reader! If the Democratic party be q
party made up Of men whose aim is to
bring about a speedy but honorable cessa-
ton OF the present hostllities, whose ambi-
ton it is to suspend the sacrifice Of the
best American blood Of our land alone for
the interest of the colored man; whose
whole bent is to check the ample opposition
offered for the liberal addition already over
loaded with gain at the expense Of the
thousands who are devoutly crying that
this cruel war may speedily end; whose
every effort is to effect restoration of the
Union Upon solid, permanent, and never.
