interfere with slavery in the States where
it exists. believe that | have no consti-
tutional power to do so. This was what
Mr.. Lincoln said in his inaugural. The
Constitution has not been enlarged, altered,
or amended, since he spoke those words !;
yet he has undertaken, by proclamation,
to abolish slavery in all the Southern States,
and is slaughtering his thousands monthly,
and calling for more, to make that procla-
nation good. Judged out Of his own
mouth, he has done what he had no con-
stitutional power to do, and is carrying on
this war not for the maintenance of the
Constitution but to enforce the acts by
which he has attempted its overthrow, Is
this the man to make President for another
four. years?

The Draft,

The draft for Ohio's quota of the last
call for 100000 more men, recently took
place in the several districts and sub
districts liable. The result has carried sor-
row and weeping and mourning to hundreds
of homes where little while ago all was
comparative joy and gladness. 1t has bro
ken many family circle to be reunited
again nevermorc. Fathers and husbands,
brothers and sons have been doomed by the
turn of the conscript wheel to leave their
homes, friends and little ones to the tender
mercies of cold and uncharitable world
and go forth to peril their lives-not for the
restoration of the Union, or in defence of
the Constitution, but to carry out the ruin
Gus and fatal abolition doctrines of the ad-
ministration. For this, and this alone, has
been poured out millions of treasure and
oceans of blood. We ask any candid man
to tell us, if he can, what has been gained
in return for all this immense expenditure
Of blood and money? Has single State
or foot of territory been brought back to its
duties or allegiance under the Constitution?
Is the Union any nearer restored now than
when the war first commenced? Can it ev-
er be restored under the policy of the pres
ent administration? These are questions
that appeal to the judgement and consider
alton of every rejecting man and earnest
lover of his country. IF Lincoln is re-elec-
ted we shall have more constitutions more
bloodshed, more taxation, and all fornaught
as far as a restoration Of the Union is con-
cerncd. Your neighbor is the victim of
conscrption this time. His wife, like Ra-
chaol of DID, is mourning the loss of her
first born. The next time it may be your
sad fate to weep over the taking away Of
some one of your household flock Would
you prevent it? Then work and vote for a
change Of administration and policy. This
is the only remaining hope of Peace and
Union

TO the Polls! To the PoIIs!!

The October Election takes place next
Tuesday. The importance of the election
CANNOT BE ovERRArED. The Repubi.
cans know that if the Mcclellan men carry
Ohio in October, or lose the State by only
a few thousand votes, there will be no
chance for Lincoln in November. Hence,
his supporters are stiaining every nerve to
rally their party and poll the largest posi-
bic vote for their ticket in October.
The Republicans were beaten in Ohio in
lSG2-and with PROPER ExERTIoNs we can
not fail to poll 10000 more Democratic
votes this year than when Ranney and 9TH
ers carried the State two years ago.
Let every Democrat in the county, feel that
Il personal duty devolves upon him in this
matter Don't throw from yourself upon
others the responsibility which each man
should feel resting upon himself. There is
work for all, and if our country shall be
saved, it will have been accomplished
through the earnest and united effort of the
Democracy at the elections which are now
close at hand.
LITTLE HOLMES must do her whole duty
and not be behind her sister Counties in
the redemption Of Ohio from Abolition
Despotism.
RALLY THE VOTERS!

Erem OffIhe Track.

John G. Fremont has Withdrawn from
the canvass as Presidential asprant, and
Post Master General Blair has been asked
to resign, by President Lincoln, which he
has done, doubtless to appease Fremont;
but the ''wooly horse still holds the same
opinion of Lincoln Administration he did
before. Hear him.
I'm respect to Mr.. Lincoln continue to hold
exactly the sentiments contained in my letter
OF acceptance | consider that his Admi nistra-
tion has been politically, militarily, and tinan-
cial!y a failure, and that its necessary continu-
ance is a cause of regret to the country. There
never was Il greater unanmity in a country
than was exhibited here ut the fall of Sumter,
and the South was powcrlcss in the face of it..
Bat Mr. Lincoln completely paralyzed this gem
crous feeling"
The declination of Fremont, will be an
advantage to Gen. Mcclellan, for the Ger
mans, generally, who adhered to Fremont,
will now flock almost en- masse to the stand
ard of Gen. Mcclellan.

Connecticut,

There is no State where the enthusiasm
for General MCCLELLAN is greater than in
Connecticut A New Haven correspondent
of the Boston Post, in speaking of the Nc
CLELLAN ratification meeting there, says:
The day has been cloudy and lowering
but did not prevent the outpouring from all
the country towns They came in vehicles
Of every description, with bands of music
banners, &c, &c. The procession was about
three miles i'll length
There were at least II, 900 listeners to the
speakers on State House square, cheering
for Mcclellan and the Union.
Nothing like it since 1910!
We may count Connecticut for MCCLEL-
Ian.

Post Master General,

The widow maker has appeased the wrath
of Fremont by forcing Blair to resign the
office of Post Master General. William
Dennison, Ohio's great "Succedaneum,"
has been appointed Socially, Denison is a
gentleman, and this will make him poor
company for the vulgar old story teller who
will inhabit the White House until next
March. Mr.. Dennison's tin cup operation
at the commencement Of the war, and the
horrid manner in which he allowed Ohio
soldiers to suffer when he was Governor will
render him unpopular. 1t is well known,
too, that he does not possess single quail
fication for the Office But these are the
days of incompetent officials.

The Soldiers sVOte-AdviCet TO Our
Readers,

We would earnestly impress upon our
readers, upon all fathers, brothers, wives,
sisters and all others who have relations or
friends in the army to cut out the Mcclellan
tickets for the Presidential election which
appear in our column, and send it to them
by letter, with an urgent entreaty to vote it
at the coming election. The only hope of
peace and unity depends upon it. There is
great difficulty in getting our tickets to the
army unless this course is taken. 1t is a
vitally important consideration, and we beg
every subscriber to heed and act upon it.
There is probably not one Of them who has
not some friends in the army whom he could
address in that manner. The result of the
election and the fate of the country may de-
pend, readers, upon your promptly acting
on this suggestion.

A Word.

The importance of the election next Tues
day must not be overlooked or cast into the
shade by the great Presidential contest in
November. The whole country will look
to the result of the State elections sa fore
shadowing, to some extent, the result of
the Presidential contest Should the Dem
ocracy carry the State next Tuesday, it will
be certain for Mcclellan and Pendleton in
four weeks from then Every blow struck
now will tell as directly for Mcclellan and
Pendleton as if made in November. But
we do not think there are any amongst us
who do not realize the importance of sue
cess. The question is how to attain it. Let
no one be idle, Do not depend upon those
who are known rs leaders. y A Gcnaral
can arrange the order of the battle and
watch the operations of the enemy; but
success must depend upon the nerve and
muscle of the rank and file to a great degree
The issues before us are perhaps of greater
importance to the most humble in the land
than to those known as leaders" and they
should be actively engaged from now until
the election, each laboring in his sphere for
accomplishment of the great end. Wher-
ever there is a band of Democrats, how
ever small, let them organize and under
stand thoroughly what ought to be done
and decide as to the best way of doing it
All have influence, all can be leaders, and
every one ought to strive to do his duty in
this hour of danger to our country and lib
erty. Let not voter be left behind, and if
the October elections can be carried at all,
the majority will be more than double in
November. There is always a floating vote
which goes with the strongest party. BY
success in the first election, we will secure
this vote for the second, and if the elections
are carried in the State by barely one thou
sand, we can count upon a majority of
twenty thuusand for Mcclellan in Novem-
bcr. So let each friend of the country, ev-
cry man that desires change in the admin
istration Of our government remember that
in every vote gained for the Democracy in
October they increase McCellan's strength
bya score Of votes in the election to fol
low

Peace Ruinnrs.

The rumor has several times obtained
currency that Georgia has proposed to the
authorities at Washington to return to the
Union. 1t eminates from Washington, and
its object is apparent. 1t is designed to in
ducc belief that the victories lately OBJ
taned by our armies have led the Southern
people to seriously entertain the terms of
peace proposed by Mr.. Lincoln for their ac-
ccptance. The State authorities of Geor-
gia would disdain to consider them for min
ute, and so would nine -tenths of the peo-
pie. Mr.. Lincoln knows this, and has CON
scquently provided that one-tenth of the in
habtants may reconstruct" any one of the
seeded States. This provision is proof
that he is aware how utterly repugnant to
the South is his project of reconstruction
II it should prove true that Georgia wish
es to return; and has mode through her
proper authorities propositions of settle
ment, there is an excellent opportunity Of
tered to test Mr.. Lincoln's capacity to re-
store the Union. Will he abandon his Mig
ger policies, or can he tempt Georgia to
lose the war by accepting them? Who be-
licves that he will do the one, or can he do
the other, until of the inhabitants of the
Safe there is left but the tenth sought for

whose behalf he urges the exterminating

tions that he will accept He has made
none that she will accept There is an ir
reprtssible conflict between him and the
Southern people concerning the ''nigger. -
That is the simple truth in the matter, and
our victories do not touch or affect this con-
flict.

DEM. CENTRAL CoMMITTE Rooms,

OOLJMBUS, ", OcU. L, lSOf,
The pending political contest is to decide
whether all that is valuable and dear to you
as Citizens and Ereemen, shall be preserved
and secured to yourselves and your children.
The election on Tuesday, the 1lth of Octo-
ber, though confined to the choice of State
and County representatives and officers, will
necessarily have u direct influence on the
Presidential issue in November. Members
of Congress are to be chosen, who will be
required to act on the measures and policy
of the administration at Washington. Need
we remind you of the Importance of sccur-
ing true and tried exponents of your opin-
ions in that branch of the Federal Govern
ment? Success in this, the preliminary
trial of your strength will fix the wavering.
and inspire all with courage, and stimulate
to increased action and effort in the great
final struggle in November The time for
argument tspost-the time for octton is at
hand Your opponents are viglant active
and thoroughly organized. They are deter
mined on success; they may succeed, unless
you arouse to a full apprehension of the
danger. We appeal to Democrats, and all
who love the country and its institutions,
| to aid in averting such dire cdldmitv
| Let every man, from this ldy forth until
the polls are closed, be unceasiHg in his cf.
forts. Let no man entrust to another that
which he can do himself Individual effort
and influence, combined with the action of
local committees, will bring your full
strength to the polls. Victory IN October
secures Victory IN Nocembel- Vtictory IN
Noren,ber drives Lincoln, with his destruc-
tive policy and corrupt party, from power,
and restores to our beloved country the
blessings of an honorable and ustinq
PEACE, with the UNION and the CON
STlTUTIQN Of our. Fathers, presided
over by MCCLELLAN and PENDLE-
TON.
Democrats of Ohiol we ask you to give
the second Tuesday of October to your
country. Let every business man close his
house on the day of election, and repair
early to the polls and stay there until the
last vote is deposited! Let the farmer leave
his plow, the mechanic his shop, the work
ingman his toll; let every Democrat of every
profession and avocation give that day to
securing the triumph of the only political
party that can restore to the people Peace.
Prosperity and Union Do not be drawn
into disputation, but maintain at all haz-
yards all your lawful rights Have efficient
chalengers at every polls to see that none
but legal voters exercise the right of suf-
frage. DO not let our foes achieve victory
this fall as they did last, by threats, by in
tlmldation and by fraudulent voting One
days effort upon the part of every Demo
crat--a full vote and an honest count, will
redeem Ohio from the misrule Of the LIN

The state Election.

The State election comes off Next Tues

the final grand struggle in November Let
