The Peace Democracy have been in
great distress for long time lest they
should pass through the approaching
election without "a free ballot or q FREQ
fight" They may suspend their anxiety
on this point; or if they choose, they may
change their cry to "a free ballot and free
fight" We have the pleasure of inform
ing them that the most ample arrange
ments are making to give them all the
voting and all the fighting they can stom-

Some OF them were engaged in knock

Others have participated in a controversy
with the advocates of States rights and
the opponents of the Lincoln despotism
from Chattanooga to Atlanta. We who
have remained at home will do what we
can, also, in our humble way, to make
the election interesting to our Copperhead
friends, If they desire lively time. On
the whole. therefore. We trust the Copper
heads will cease shouting themselves
hoarse, to the great disgust of ell decent
and loyal men, by bawling for free elec-
ton. when they know that they alone have
ever interfered with the freedom of elec-
tions, by bullying honest citizens away
from the polls. and that they will rest
assured that if, in addition to free elec-
tion, they have the slightest disposition
for free fight, we shall give them every
facility in our power, and there is no doubs
that the free fight will satisfy theI most
sangnine anticipatioas.

enaeavored to prevent them from voting.
and in Indiana and Illinois, alone Of all
the States of the Union. are they obliged
to return to their homes to vote. Perhaps,
the Copperheads. by way of facilitating
"a free election or free fight" will con-
clude to prevent them from voting at
home. as they have prevented them from,
voting in their camps. If so, look outfor
free election or free fight.

Sanitary Bazaar-An Appeal to the
People of Indiana.

The magnitude and success of the oper.
ations of the Sanitary Commission of this
State, and the steadily growing necessity
for their continuance, have determined the
authorities to apply, if possible. some OF
the interest always felt in the State Fair,
to enlarge the Society's means and If pos
sibly enable it to do all the good so urgent
ly demanded of it. 1t has, therefore,
been decided that Fair and Bazaar for
the benefit of the Sanitary Commission
shall be held on the Fair Ground and in
connection with the State Fair, beginning
on the 81 of October, and continuing
dnring the term of the general exhibition.
The undersigned having been appointed
Superintendent Of it, takes this mode of
appealing to the people of Indiana to give
their best help to it. that it may rebound
no less to their credit than to the comfort
and health of their sons and brothers in
the army.
1t wonld be superfuous to enlarge on
the invaluable services of the Society; on
the thousands of sick and wounded. needy
and helpless soldiers it has cared for and
saved from neglected death, for glorious
service in the army for happy return
home; on the health it has infused into
enfeebled ranks, and preserved by timely
help of food and clothing; or its universal
ministry Of good. in camp and battle,
march and hospital. The country knows
all this by heart. These benefits have
been limited, but too often limited by the
want Of means to extend them. Will not
the people of Indiana see to it that this
opportunity to relieve so grave want
shall not pass unused? They can not be
willing.to acquicsce in an inferiority Of
liberality where other States have done so
nobly. and where the reputation they have
made as soldiers. is Sd high and endearing.
They have given of their blood layishly,
and they cannot hesitate to be as lavish of
their goods which must go so far towards
saving blood and life. Let not New York,
Philadelphia St. Lonis, Chicago and Gin.

dreds yofthousands of dollars, boast that
Indiana is more indifferent to her soldiers
than they. The time for increased effort

A VOICE FROM THE FRONT
What General Grant Says Of The
Situation.

WAsHINGToS, Sept. s.
The following is an extract Of letter
from 1t. Gen. Grant to Hon. f. b. Wash
burne, dated City Point, Aug 16, 1864
[ state to all citizens who visit me, that
all we want to insure the early restoration
of the Union, is a DETERMINED SENTIMENT
IN TIE NORTH. The rebels have now in
their ranks their last man; the little boys
and old men are guarding prisoners and
railroad bridges and forming good part
OF their garrsons for intrenched positions.
~ man lost BY them can't be replaced
They have robbed the cradle and grave
equally. to get their present force.
Besides what they loose in frequent skir-
mishes and battles. they are now losing
from descrtions and other causes at least
one regiment per day.
THE END is NOT FAR DISTANT
IF WE ARE ONLY TRUE TO OUR
SELVES.
Their only hope now is in divided
North. This might give them reinforce
ments from Tennessee, Kentucky Mary

expect peace from separation they arc
much mistaken. 1t would but be the
beginning of war with thousands Of North

disgrace in allowing separation.

wonld demand restoration Of all slave.

and care is Fastening on. The winter
campaign will soon commence, and its
perils and privations must be soitened by
the liberality Of its friends at home. If we
wonld net hear Of losses in camp as great
and as sad as those OF the blootliest battle.
Times are hard, many necessary articles
viii be scarce, anl no time should be lost
in collecting sll that can be obtained.
Contributions may consist of any ar
tele of food, clothing or medicine, that
can be used directly in the army. or OF
anything that can be disposed of for
money, manufactures of all kinds, cloth.
wood or metal, articles of taste, pictures.
books, all kinds of agricultural products.
rare and curious things. natural or artif-
cial. anything and everything that will
add to the attractions OF the exhibition, or
sell for any sum however small. Other
Sanitary Fairs have succeeded astonish-
ingly in forming rich and rare exhibitions.
and it is to be hoped that our Fair. if it
of curiosities as others, may equal them in
the nobler wealth of substantial products.
As no effort which appeals to popular
aid can succeed without organization aud
well digested plans, it is hoped that So
ceties TO cooperate in the getting up and
carrying through Of this Fair will be formed
everywhere. Each county should have a
parent society, with branches in each
township. to solicit contributions, to-
encourage and urge the manufacture Of ths
numerous articles of apparel and hospital
service. which are not furnished by the
Government. to keep alive and earnest tho
zeal Of the people, and finally to bring az
many as possible to witness the imposing
and beneficial exhibition which will be the
fInit of their generosity and the crown Of
their honor.
All articles for the Sanitary Fair should
be sent to my ldress and delivered at the
Sanitary Rooms, north of the State House,
until the week of the Fair. when they
may be sent directly 20 the Bazaar on the

Although the following resolution,
offered by Long of Ohio, at Chicago, did
not pass, yet it embodies the views of all
the leaders Of the Democratic party: sss o
Mr.. Long. OF. Ohio, then proposed that
in the deliberations of the Convention, a
rule be adopted which had been adopted
in every Democratic Convention that ever
approached the nomination of President

ton. or an amendment to the first resolu-
tiou, and 1 trust, that this Convention

ry. If it could how long would peace
continue? Better, in our opinion. fight il
out now, on this line, even if it.takes three
or six months longer, since it has com
menced, and remove forever all cause o.
any future rebellion.
II Mr.. Lincoln is reelected the rebels
will despair and disband their armies al
once, as they cannot possibly hold out an
other year. Their last man is in the field
On the other hand should Mcclellan be
elected the rebels will be encouraged to
hold out until he takes his seat, in the con-
fident expectation that he will be forced
by Vallandigham, Long. Voorhees,. Wood
and Harris to acknowledge their indepen-
dencc, notwithstanding the pledge made to
the people in his letter Of acceptance
The shortest road therefore to peace. per-
