curious oversight in McClellan's letter

The Post observes:

The Opposition to Lincoln I'm
lIamiItOn County.

So strong feeling prevails against Mr..
Lincoln among the Republican voters OF
Hamilton county, that it is claimed that the
Executive Committee had serious thoughts
of throwing overheard the President. in or
der to save the local tickets from defeat
The following is from the Cincinnati COM
nerciuJ:
The following resolution was offered in
the Union Executive Committee meeting
yesterday, by William Penn Nixon. Esq.
Committeeman of Spencer Township, and
upon its rejection, after spirited discuss
ion Mr.. Nixon withdrew from the Commit
tee:
WHEREAS, 1t is known to this Commit
tee that the Union voters of Hamilton coun-
ty are divided on the subject of the Presi.
dency of the United States, and whereas it
is considered Of paramount importance tc
secure the entire Union vote for the COUNTY
and District tickets; therefore,
"ResOtred, That until after the State cleo.
ton this committee shall take no part in the
Presidential contest as between John c..
Fremont and Abraham Lincoln, and leav.
ing the conduct Of the Presidential cam
paign to other organizations, will devote its
entire energies to secure the success of the
State, County and District Tickets"

"Abolitionism has brought us to the
verge Of ruin"
'Give us liberty, or give us death"

'Let there be no strife between mine and
thine, for we be brethren"

Situation and Peace NegOtia-
lion.

''Those who find fault with this paper
tread in the precise footsteps and follow
precisely the example Of Lincoln. They
would have peace lat least they say so, but
only on condition that before entering into
the negotiations they be allowed to prescribe
all the terms. They and Lincoln each know
that there never can be peace on such condi-
tions. They know that freedom of discuss
ion is essential to peace negotiations
bringing about peace But their whole,
sole object appears to be to trammel the ad-
ministration so to trammel it that it will be
utterly impossible in any contingency, or on
any terms whatever, to open or assent to
peace negotiations. 1t isimpossibe to con-
ceive that they are actuated but by a single
motive, and that they wish to embarrass
the administration and to bring it into dis
repute, wholly reckless of the consequences
resulting to the country. 1t matters not
how long the war shall continue provided
they can glut their hatreds, and see their
predictions of evil fulfilled. Richmond

The New York Tribune arraigns Generals
Burnside and Meade for incompetency, and

A Good Point.

The Albany Atlas and Argus, in recent
editorial, made the following good point
The supporters fMr Lincoln are in the
habit of saying, You have no evidence that
the rebels will make peace on the terms you
propose" Suppose that to be so-is that q
good reasonforiterposing additional barriers
in the way Of peace? Is that reason for
superadding to the legitimate, constitutional
terms, which we propose the unconstitutional
and impossible condition which Mr.. Lincoln
insists upon? But Mr. Lincoln does not,
cannot know that peace on constitutional
basis will not be accepted-for the reason,
that he has refused to receive Peace Com
missloners,, or to entertain negotiation, ex-
cept upon his abolition condition precedent

For CoNsIDERATIoN.-W know of a
goodly number of you young Republicans
who are liable to draft, and who are in favor
of a Union of all the States as they used to
be- We ask you to read LINcoLNs 'To
whom 1t may concern" letter. wherein he
plainly states that he will listen to no terms
OF Compromise that do not embrace the
abandonment of slavery. You declare
yourselves opposed to abolitionism and un-
willing to carry on war for the purpose OF
freeing Niggers. We desire, then, to cal
attention to the fact that your old party lead
ers-those exempt from draft-like Messrs.
BRowN, BRAY, ANKENY, MULvANE, IVES
TON, &c, &C., are in favor of LINcoLN's
plan of carrying on the war until slavery il
wiped out" and also in favor of drafting
you into the army to do the fighting while
they stay at home to do the talking and
make money. Ifyou are willing, under
such circumstances, to have the draft sha-
ken over your anatomy every few months
until it catches you, then, Hurrah for the
Widow Maker.

ANSWERS WANTED.-A couple of cores
pondent sends us the following problems
which we submit to any abolitionist or 10y
al Lacquer of a mathematical turn of mind,
for solution
A P'oblem.-Abraham Lincoln called out
$4,000 men to put down the rebellion in
sixty days. since that time, three years have
elapsed, and he has called 2,725, 900 men.
At that rate how many men and how long
would it take to put down the rebellion?
Another.-Whch is the worst, for men
to go against their principles to fight to free
the negroes, or men who are in favor of
freeing them to stay at home?
But not the Same.-If Abraham Lincoln
is judged for his works as other men are,
where will he be found ten days after the
Resurrection
Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1864-08-25

How THEY SoUIRM.-It is amusing to
see the radical papers squirm and twist un,
der the lash given the Widow Maker by
Messrs. WADE and DAVIS, in their protest
against LINCOLN for his rotten and unjusti-
fable position on the Reconstruction Bill
which passed both Houses of Congress. -
Paste and daub it as you will, there the
matter stands, solemn protest made by
two leading republicans, men who have been
quoted time and again by the republican
press, as great spirits in their party. Muir
der will out, and Old SMUTrY has got his
foot in it at last,
Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1864-08-25

QUESTIONS If Democrats are Traitors,
why do tho abolitionists want them in the
army?
If war is popular with the people, why
are Conscriptions necessary when the gov
ernment offers such heavy bounties?
If the Rebellion is on it's 'last legs" with
its "back bone broken in dozen places,
why don't the cursed thing die?
In view of the fact that Congress abol,
ished slavery by law, and LINCOLN abolish
ed it by Proclamation we are led to inquire
why 500, 600 men should be drafted to fight
it to death ?
Judge WELKER being strong war man,
could he not kill more rebels with musket
than by being elected to Congress
Judge WELKER was in favor of the draft
in 1862, he is in favor of the present draft,
how many drafts will he vote for if elected
to Congress?
Is it a fact that all who refuse to volun-
teer are in favor of being conscripted ?
Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1864-08-25

LINCOLN LINCOLN holds the purse ant
sword Of the Republic, and the liberty ant
lives Of the people are placed at his disposal
He has rccklcssly squandered the treasure
inhumanly welded the sword, destroyed the
liberties of the people, and he is giving mil
lions Of our lives to secure the freedom o.
! the niggers. He asks 10 bo the custodian Of
these for four years more. Shall We gram
it to him
Those who arc in favor of devastating
war for the abolition of slavery, say yes.
All who lose sight of the property, liber
ty and lives of white men in their blind zeal
for the niger, says yes.
The recipients of official favors from LIN
colin, say yes.
The army contractors and government
thieves say yes.
The men who expect to obtain place and
plumber through LINCOLN, say yes.
Those who are actuated by honest mo.
tives, say no.
Those is favor of the old Union and the
old Constitution, say no.
Those who want liberty, prosperity and
peace, say no.
Those who would not have their sub
stance consumed by endless taxation, say
no.
All who would not sacrifice life, liberty
and country for igottcn Greenbacks or
sooty Niggers, say no.
And most emphatic no comes from the
broken family tics-the deserted tenements,
the ruined hopes of millions of orphans
the million widows he has made-the four
millions of families over which he is sha-
king his heartess CONSUMPTION.
What has he done for his country? Ru-
ined it He has filled the land with fear
and mourning. lie has caused Il million of
brave men to be sacrificed for nothing. He
has scattered smutty jokes and heshless
bones all over the land lie has strength
cned instead of weakening secession. He
has digged an impenetrable gulf between
the North and the South and filled it with
the bones of brave ond patriotic men that
Niggers might pass over to an abolition
paradise. He has disgusted his own party
and won the contempt of every man who is
not one of his minions, or paid tool who
can with pointed bayonet or specous lies in
suit the people who have placed him in pow
er.
Let those who can support him do So
1t is their privilege. Let them hang their
wedges and axes on poles as once they did.
Let their shouts and huzzas rise above the
wailings and lamentations of mourning
people. Let them fling their flag to the
breeze, with scull and cross bones painted
thereon in black, and shout in drunken glee
for their pet the great Widow Maker ofthe
nineteenth century.

SHERMAN. General SHERMAN says that
to put down the rebellion requires univer-
sal draft. Seventy-fve thousand men were
tried, then three hundred thousand, and
finally the number was increased to two
millions and half, and now it is proposed
to take everybody. Rather than try such
an experiment we would favor the first pro-
position, sending dozen Massachusetts
women with mops and broomsticks.
