with insects, which are destined to destroy

Why is it so2

A democratic soldier in writing home
to his father in Lewistown, whois also
a democrat, tells him in no wise to vote
for Mcclellan, because, says the SOL
dier, there is not rebel in the South
ern army who would not 90 on his
knees and pray to have Mcclellan
elected The fact that the whole
rebel army before Petersburg gave
three cheers for McClellon when thew
heard he had been nominated by the
Chicago peace democracy, seems to
have opened the eyes of the Union
soldiers, and created a strong suspi-
clon in their minds that there must
have been something rotten at Chi
cago. |o
We also know of another letter from
a gentleman in the army who stands
high as citizen and democrat, who
says no sensible man can vote for the
nominees of such platform as that
adopted at Chicago.

Messrs. Editors A private in the Sd

and your readers with few lines from one
who was a democrat, but who now repudi-
ates the party who call themselves by that
name.
Having been an eye witness of the per,
secutions forced on free people in Kansas
by the connivance of Presidents Pierce
and Buchanan. such acts as recognizing
laws, made by Missourians, to be the fun

the n0usubmitta of all the Lecompton
Constitution to vote of its people, (two,
thirds of whom were opposed to it, and
by other glarlng wrongs, which time will

In view Of the crisis now pending, | am
constrained to pen these lines. Though
very poor hand in the art of composition,
| cannot remain silent when base men are
trying to betray oar country and delude
the masses We have had enough of milk
and water men in the person of James
Buchanan for all time to come He sold
himself secretly to the South and pledged
himself openly to the North, and his record
shows the issue Your humble servant and
many others who supported him have re-
pented lo3g since: and are now reaping the
fruits of our folly in the tented field Nc
Cellan has accepted the peace platform
with Pendleton, but he must have the vote
of the war democracy to ensure his cleo
ton, and so he endeaVors to reconcile them
in his letter Of acceptance thus waiting to
ride two horses Of different colors at the
same time. Such subterfuge merits the
contempt of all upright men, and the Union
men have nothing to fear, for though he be
thus mounted with his record in his hand,
he will be left far in the rear. He has
pledged himself, like Buchanan did, but
the people have their eyes open and are
quite suspicious, and his game will not win
this time. He says "Good Cod" and
tries to satisfy Satan by whispering be does
not mean it. His platform is too elastic,
and there are too many inequalities in the
road for him to ride throug gh safely. No
doubt ne expects majority of the soldiers
votes, but how can they support man
whom the rebels cheer in joy at his nomi
nation, and whose election is the only lope
for their confederacy, whose prospects of

For the Gazette.
Slavery and the Designs of
Providence.

A year or more ago the writer of
this article pointed out some remark
able indications of Providence in this
war, the most singular of which was
that whether the Union Or rebel az
mics were successful, the slave was
continually being freed. Within the
past few months some striking events
have taken place, so much akin to the
views then advanced, that feel agar
constrained to call the attention of
your readers to them. Congress, it
will be recolIected, did not pass the
amendment to the Constitution abol-
ishing slavery, by two-tbjris vote,
and Immediately following that we
had series of alarms at the north
with much injury to property, while
our armies, though advancing, gained
no decisive advantages. Thus matters
stood until President Lincoln's declar-
alton to the rebel emissaries at Niaga-
IA that he was ready to make peace on
the basis of the abolition of slavery
Since then victory has crowned our
arms with signal success. Three
strong forts at Mobile were surrender
ed almost without a blow, the garri-
sons of two being apparently panic
stricken. Next Atlanta fell into our
hands in manner almost beyond hu
man calculation, for its works were of
character to defy assault. And Gu
rious y enough, this event took place
before the miscreants who had assem-
bled at Chicago to reUiye SlaUerg by rec
ommending Il cessation of hostilities
had reached their homes! Next. on
the heels of McCIellan's milk and wa
ter acceptance Of a slavery platform,
the StOnewall Jackson army, which had
caused incalculabIe mischief to the
north, and hitherto detied all efforts to
drive or destroy it, has been literally
cut to pieces and captured in a series
OF engagements which had not to it ii
single redeeming feature.
Is this chain of remarkable events
chance, or is it Providence? We have
seen time and again that when we ia
vored aught establishing slavery, or
even wavered, disasters have fallen
upon us with a heavy hand while, on
the contrary, whenever the apparent
Great Design was favored, great and i'm
portant successes followed. The skeptic
may take the ground of chance, but can
processing Christian, who believes that
God rules Nations, ignore these facts,
for such they are? Viewed in any
light it is singular combination of
historical incidents not often met
with; and ought to induce every Chris
tian man who still adheres to slavery.
to examine whether in upholding that
harlotry of the age, he is not fighting
against God, for if He has decreed it's
destruction, He will effect it despite
all that men can do; and wo to that
nation or that people who will stand
in His path. Yes, FIGHTING AGAINST
GOD. 1t is an awful thought, for His
vengeance is terrible.
