The shining light of the Shoddy Dynas-
ty-the .bell-ringer extraordinary for His
Majesty Abraham Frsl--has been trying
his hand at discOuraging enlistments-so
shoddy organs say. He made a speech at
Auburn, New York, on last Saturday, in
which he said
owe will have no drali, because the ar
my is being reinforced at the rate of five to
ten thousand men per day by volunteers"
Only few days before semi-official bull
lstins from Washington announced that
the service was being recruited al the rate
of thee thousand per day. The Secretary
neglected TO Stale the cause of the s.imu-
lated stale of the recruiting business from
three up to five and ten thousand. He
should have said that the nomination of
Mcclellan has given an impulse TO volun-
teering equal to The time OF firing into Fort
Sumter The sentiment of the people he
could also have given, which is-lhat it is
universally believed, first, ihst Little Mac
will be elected and second, that peace
will be the speedy result of his election !!
The enthusiasm for Mcclellan among tie
volunteers xho have lately been going into
service is unbolnded. Cheers for him
are given with will by entire companies
and regiments AS regiments march
through our streets, on their way TO the
front, lusty and heartfelt cheers are given
for M M'Clellan, but never for Lincoln. In
his next speech the Secretary shonld cor
rect his omissions in the Auburn speech,
and give the facts as above.

The EXPRESSION OF Women are
more like flowers than we think. In their
dress and adornment they express their
nature as the flowers do in their petals and
coIors. Some women are like the modest
daises and violets, they never look or feel
better than when dressed in morning
wrapper. Others are not themselves unless
they can fame out in gorgeous dyes, like
the tulip or blush rose. Who has not seen
women Just like white lilies Who does
not know several DOODLE marigolds and pop
pies? There are women fit only for velveis
like the dahlias; others are graceful and
airy, like the azaleas. Now and then you
see hollyhocks and sunlowers. When
women are free 10 dress they like, uncon-
trolled by others, and not limited by their
circumstances, they do not fail 10 express
their true characters, and dress becomes a
form OF expression very genuine and use-
fu..-Neredith.

| From the Cincinnati Inquirer Of Tuesday. j
| At an early hour in the evening of the

to the number of full two thousand, they
proceeded to the house of our gallant Eom-

My FELLOW CITIZENS: thank you for
this evidence of your interest and good
will. thank you for your kindness and
sympathy. 1t is just Ten years since you
first voted for me Tor Congress. That is a
long time in the lie of young man. You
have given me your confidence during all
that time. Ia defeat as well as in success
you have supported me. In all the trying
scenes of the last four years you have been
my constant, unwavering friends.
You gave me the word of encouragement
when left. You gave me a cordial well
come when returned. When, according
to my humble ability, advocated the right,
you loudly approved. When my judgment
erred you censured gently. My friends,
from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
To merit and TO have your cordial good
will and confidence is more valuable than
office or honors.
shall hot make you political speech
tonight. Ii is not necessary-we under
stand each other perfectly.
One thing desire 10 say, which has
been Impressed on ne to-day. We are
about 10 enter upon warm, excited con-
test 1T will trytyou-try your your princi-
ples-try The strength of the institutions of
Tree government. Let US indulge in no per =
sonaI animosities or personal abuse. Let
as remember that the cause is too sacred
the consequence too ImPortant-the re-
suits too vast Tor such party instrumental
lies. Let as appeal TO reason and judg-
ment, and experience-lei us appeal to the
minds aud hearts and consciences of our
fellow citizens. And then if We shall be
successful, and in Gods good providence
our dearest hope shall have again the bles-
sings of individual liberty, under the pro-
tection of Constitution vindicated, and a
Union re-invigorated, no unpleasant recol
lection of this contest will mar the glory of
our triumph, or dim the supreme lustre
of our great achievement

We understand that the Lncolniies are
trying a new scheme. There are many
not because they are fanatical, but because
they have been overawed and terrified.
These men have determined TO vote for
Mcclellan. But the Abolition managers
try new dodge by persuading them 10
vote the Abolition ticket in October, even if
they intend 10 vote for Mcclellan in Nov,
ember. We hope such voters will not be
misled. A Democratic triumph in October
IS necessary 10 secure success in Novem-
Der. Every friend of Mcclellan should re-
member this. Vote the Democratic ticket
in October this will secure McClellan's
success.

Every parent whose son is away from home
at school should supply him with a news-

now doing. The war has not debased the
South, because their struggle is like that
OF ours in 1875, for inde pendence, aud for
the sacred right of self government. But
how shall we come out of IL? Ruined in

ting the obscene usurper ont of powesr 10
the least Of the task before u.s. We have
10 thoro ughly purge ourselves OF this miIi-
tary virus before we can ever become a
free and virtuous people again. A war Of
aggression and rlunder has brutalized the
public sense, and familiarized il TO theft,
rape and murder, to such degree that il
will take halt a century TO eradicate the
poison The sight of man snutting in
uniform must be hateful 10 our eyes. Il
should remind rs oil the urce of the debt
that brushes Us II must cause the Wild
ow's heart to curse the profession that has
sacrificed her husband. II must teach the
orphan TO despise the tinselled BOBBY who
struts before him in the gaudy habiliments
oftape and feathers. All things that re-
mind US of this most atrocious war must
be al abominalion TO our eyes, as the first
evidence that we are in hopeful way OF
finally redeeming ourselves from the curse
that has fallen uyon Us. To bring these
bloody ensigns into disrepute and con-
| tempt is the first duty of patriot. To
sweep into political and social oblivion all
the guilty tools o: the cruel despo,ism
should be the labor of the statesman and
the Philan nthropist. A satrap OF Abraham
Lincoln should evermore be looked
upon as DEATHS head in socie;y-an en-
blem of murder, remembrancer OF rape
and arson! Let him walk among men like
Cain, with the mark of tsion on his browl

M'CLELLAN's LETTER OF ACcEPTAScE.-
We hope that Gen. M'Clelan's letter ac-
cepting the Democratic nomination foG
the Presidency has by this time been read
by eAery Yoter-both in our own party and
in the opposition. II is rnaichless pro-
ductiou in style and dignity; and in this,
as in its sentiments of fidelity to the Ua-
ion, it far surpasses the letter Of MIR. Lin
coin accepting the Baltimore nomination.
1t is also, most fitting reply to The SLAM
ders OF disunionism which have been laid
to his charge. 1t is in perfect consonancs
with the Chicago platform, and while il
expresses firm determination to maintain
the Union in all its parts, it gives the
American people perfect assurance that
every ho norabIe and equitable effort will
be m ade 10 amicably adjust the present
deplorable national difficulties and secure
peace TO the suffering country.
