LETTER FROM GOVERNOR BRAMLErTE, OF
KENTUCKY, WHO wAs ELECTED BY ABoLI>
TON %BAYoNETs.
COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY. =.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
FRANKFORT, KY, Oct. IA, 1864.
s. Nc C2eHan and Others Committee, Wheel.
ing, Va.:
GEsT-Your letter of the 18th inst, in
vitiug me to attend and address a mass
meeting of the Mcclellan party at Wheel
ing on the Goth inst, came to hand this
morning. s
Pre- engagements will prevent my attend
ance. Most earnestly do / desire the eiec
ton of Gen. Mcclellan. His election would
Ie>establish a healthful administration of
our Government; and by the adoption of
his just policy of conducting the war would
soon bring about IN honorable adjustment
and the establishment Of the Union in
all its integrity. Being of those who will
not consent t. a division of the Union, but
who will cling with hope to it's preservation
under all adverse conditions, l confess that
the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln will cast the
gloom of despair over that hope. This war
can never be ended in a restored fUnion
upon the policy of Mr.. Lincoln. Unless the
policy is changed the Wal must linger en-
indefinitely until its griefs and burdens be
come 80 grievious, that a suffering people
will consent to almost any terms of peace,
other than sustain it. Division then will
be inevitable; and this I regard as the
greatest calamity which can befall US, ex.
cept the loss of our liberties. as . people;
and that would soon succeed q severance
Of the Union.
Upon the policy so clearly defined by
| Gen. Mcclellan, the rebellion would be
speedily disarmed, Union sentiment rsstor-
ed, and peace and unity once more crown
and bless our people.
THE Union is the one condition of peace;
we ask no more" and this object prosecu>
ted by legimate means, as proposed by Nc
The constitution and laws pursuant thereto
would be the rule of McOlellan's action, and
the Limitation to executive power. Mr..
| Lincoln recognises no law but his view of
necessity. Whatever he deems necessary
he regards as lawful, though in violation of
the highest law of the land-the Constitu-
ton. He so avowsit. This is the assump.
ton and assertion by him Of absolute des,
potism.
Those who vote for Mr.. Lincoln with his
avowed principles Of action vote for the
establishment of despotic power iu the
President, instead of the limited powers
conferred by the Constitution and laws.
1t were we'll for men to pause and consider,
ere they voluntarily cast away the sscuri>
ties which constitutional government throws
around their liberties.
1t would be a fit and deserved tribute,
| of grateful return for his noble services, for
Western Virginia to cast her vote for Gen.
| Mcclellan.
Kentucky will give Mcclellan over fifty
thousand majority.
| am, gentlemen, yours respectfully,
THos. f. BRAMLETTE.

-FOUR YEARS OF 0PpRESSI0NH
Tive Miles & q Half ii Demecrats
The Largest Mass Meetingl
SINCE
The sUnterrifled' I'm their Glory

The demonstration yesterday in behalf
Of MCCLELLAN and PENDLEToN was a grand
affair, by far surprising any procession
that has passed through 'thej streets of
Wheeling, since the campaign of lS44.-
The affair struck terror into the depleted
and broken ranks of the Shcddyites,-they
were perfectly bewildered, and but few Of
them dared show their faces. They saw
that the demonstration was gotten up and
participated in by the working men-the
manufacturer and mechanic, as well as the
sturdy yeomsnry of the county and sur
rounding country turning out almost en-
masss. No government wagons, no govern>
ment supporters, or shoddy contractors,
helped to sweet the crowd which was out
yesterday ; no government money nor gov
eminent Influence was brought into the
affair, but it was the spontaneous outburst
of thousands of freemen who dared to take
their stand for M'CLELLANand PENDLEToN,
the Union and Peace.
The procession was we'll supplied with
music, there being three or four bands in
attendance. The Mcclellan Glee Club
was out in all its glory, and the young
gentlemen made the welkin ring" There
were three or four large wagons filled with
ladies, who enlivened the AFFAIR with music
and song.
The immense procession was ~interspersed
with devices and notices. We cannot, of
course, give the whole of them. The fol
lowing is a list of the principal features:
Free Press-Workmen in wagon, with
printing press, throwing out Mcclellan
and Pendleton documents.
Nail C~utting-Workmen in wagon, with
nail machine, cutting nails, ETC., etc.
Tinner-Workmen in wagon, with fur>
mace, busily making up tinware.
Observation-Disclosures with bellows and
anvil. Horse being shod.
Team drawn by an OLA black crow in
a cage; organ. grinder, with singing.
Three years Of war-Wagon filled with
badly used up men, who avow themselves
for Mcclellan.
Several wagons filled with hickory poles,
bearing the photograph Of Mcclellan.

triotic, solemn duty to do all in my power,
to avert such a ca~tastrophy. And, in my
judgement, it may be averted by united
and Jealous efforts. That the Union can
never be restored under an administration
of Mr.. Lincoln, if his present policy is per-
severed in, (and those who control him will
not permit him to depart from it'll l am

terminate every white inhabitant, without

he fails in this. there will remain the seeds
of a relentless hatred, which will REQUIRE
an army in each of such States, to prevent
from breaking out, from time to, time, in

The Beginnings oi Evil.

Truths like the following can scarcely
be repeated too often. Young men iOr
the most part, are but little aware of the
danger which attends th, beginning ol
evil. No one becomes suddenly aband-
oncd and pronigatc. There is always a
gradual progress. lie hcgins with Tih
occasional departures from rcctitudc, aud
goes FROM one degree of guilt to another
till his cousc icncc becomes scared, the
vicious propcnstcs strong, the habits ut
indulgence fixed, aud the character ruin
ed.
Nothing is more Obvious than this con-
ucction between the beginning and con.
summation of evil aud yet, hardly any
thing is more difficult, thun to convince
the you1g OF its reality. In entering up
on wrong courses they have not the
least exp, citation uflear ot the dreadful
issue. They mean not to proceed be-
yund the point of safety aud they have
10 doubt they can easily effect an escape
whenever danger appears but ere they
are aware. they are arrested by the iron
gr sp ol habit, and ruined forever.
Take for example, the young man who
occasionally drinks To excess in the so-
cial circle; he does not dream that he is
entering upon course which Will prob
ably end in confirmed intempcruncc. He
means no harm there cnn be no dan
ger in il. But soon his hands nre made
strong, and he becomes the slave Of Z
scottish vice.
THUS il is with all vicious pructccs.-
However slight at first, they tend, by
strong aud necessary impulse, to th'
point OF utter dcpravity of principle ant
ruin of character There is no safety
but in guarding against the first appear
ancc OF evil. To step upon forbidden
ground, is to throw ones self into The
power OF the destroyer aud IL God in
tcrposc not TO deliver, ruin is inevitable

that the way of vice lies down hill j
