more troops to fill up the now thinned

spectrully make the following represen

The war has been carried on for more
than three years with disaster and de fent /
to our arms and humiliation TO the coun-
Try, deluging the lard with ffaternal
blood, turning every household from Joy
to mourning, burdening the citizens with
the most oppressive taxation, aud bring-
ing bankruptcy and ruin to the people.
During ell the time the cVntt st

Washington, and by the officers in the
field, in spirit oi bitterness aud maliy.
nifty amounting almost to barbarism.
Persons who have DIFF red In opinion
with the President, or who have criti-
| cised his acts, he has hunted down and
prosecuted with the most merciless rig

Ec has denied q sovereign S;atos
their Constitutional rights.
He has destroyed tn : nation in order
to establish a military dcspotism upon the
ruins of constitutional liberty.
lie has stricken down the freedom Of

/
He has denied the people the rlaht to
bear arms for their own defense.
He has surrounded himself with n sat.

with tax 8.
He has destroyed the freedom Of relg.

He has nnnulled every constitutional
guaranty for the protection ofihe citizen
and subjected him to the irrcprcssible
tyranny Of military violence.
! lie has rendered the military superior
to the civil power.
The people, trained to submission tc
the authorities, have patiently submiue,
- these repeated wrongs. But with al
these outrages upon the right of tho peo.
pie, combined with the assaults Of 50O,.
900 men, who have at different times en-.
tered the service, the rebellion has moi
been put down, and the S, nth stands to.
day as determined and defiant as ever.
The experience Of the last three wears
prove most conclusively that war canno,
restore the Uuion.
We believe that the people Of the
South would to-day consent TO u rcstora-
tion Of the Union under the Constitution,
aud that the only obstacle in the WAY
of u peoceable settlement OF all Difficult.

EIsevbcre will be found the prrceeding'
of the County Convention held on last Mon
dny. The Convention was largely attended
and everything passed rff in the most har
monious manner. An earnest spirit seemed
to pervnde those present. and a iir.n de'ermi
nation to sustain the Government to the las
in its forts to suppress the rebellion. The
Sosnty Ticket put in nomination, which
we plsce at the head of dur columns will
the National and State tickets, 10 one OF 'h,
strongest and best ever presented d, the peo
pile of the county. IL is cdmposed Of sub
'stantisi and able men, who are fresh from
the people, and not one of whom has eveI
been AN office seeker Neither had any ore
of them the remo'est thought Of being noun
'inated. They were chosen without theii
solicitation, by ti,eir ficw ci''zeis' Tite'
full consideration of the best interests o.
the public. Moreover, and briofe Other
qualities, they are loyal to the Government
aud are men who have contributed by every
meaus to the most righteous war for the sup
preston efthe aost wicked rebellion known
to history. f1Gs alone should command the
vote Of every loyal man in the county.
The candidate for Auditor. Col 5. M
STEVENS, is one of those generous, frank
brave men who are always popular and VI
with the spirit of the age. BE was one
among the first in 1861 to raise company
