SIX MehShs nearer the l'reclpioe.
In the article from the New York Ecen-
ing Post, the following passages occur:
In the rapids which run faster and faster
o The Niagara river approaches, the place
where it sheets over the rocks, the boatmsn
is warned Of his danger by the increasing
swiftness Of the current. n he gives heed
in season he may steer his boat safely to
land, but it sometimes happens that he al
lows himself to be Garfield SO far towards
the prccipicc that no strength Of arm can
avail him to escape and he is swept over the
falls.
We Of the United States, financially
speaking. are in boat which rapid cur
rent Is hurrying toward prccipicc.

Whether the mischiefis beyond the reach
Of 4 remedy we will not undertake to say !;
but this we must say, that the current is
rapid, that its swittncss and .orce is increas-
ing, that the boat in which we sit is drawing
nearer and nearer to the prccipicc, and that,
unless something cfIect,lal b. done, it will
go down with the waters on which it Is Aow
floating.
a Genuine Abolition Semtlnacmt.
sIr. Grinncll, u genuine Aboltionist, in
his speech on Tuesday night, in the House
debate On expulsion, remarked:
would rather say thousand times.
let the country be ,livided--the South go
their way all slave and the North all free
rather than see the country once more un-
der democratic misrule."
Mr.. Holman demanded that this sentence
should be taken down BY the Clerk.
After some further proceedings, Mr.. Grin
nell retreated by saying ne was merely
attempting to quote the remarks Of Mr..
Conway.
The Speaker pro. tenn. said under these
circumstances the gentleman from Iowa was
in order 81.
Mr.. Grinncll first makes disunion speech
and then shirks out of it by falling back
upon Mr. Conway, not now . MEMBER
Pray in what respect is the sentiment of
Mr.. Long worse than that of Mr.. Grinnell
One was elected Ms = democrat and the
other as republican, and the latter would
sooner see the old Union destroyed than the
Constitution obeyed and the country re-
united. Justice, indeed, must have taken
wings from tho Federal Capitol, when these
determinations arc passed over in the
House Of Representatives. Y Express.

One of the largest and most enthusiast
tic gatherings we have ever seen IL
Northern Indiana, assembled at this place
last Thursday TO hear Judge Turpie
Democratic candidate for Congress in this
(the 9th Congressional District. The
morning was lowering and had every APP
pearance of rain, but Notwithstanding
this, at an early hour the people began to
arrive from every direction-in wagons,
on horseback, on foot, and in every con-
ceivable way in which they could come,
and, BY ten O'Clock the town was literally
alive with the sturdy yeomanry who had
left their plows in the burrows and come to
hear the truth fearlessly spoken. At
about eleven O'Clock the delegations from
Walnut. Green and Union began to arrive.
The procession was over mile long, and
consisted of two. four, and six horse teams,
and near one hundred horsemen Such
hurrahing aud cheering, az the procession
passed up Michigan street, has never be-
fore been heard in this part of the country
The procession was joined in the north part
Of town by delegations from German,
North and Polk townships, and after
passing through the principal streets the
procession was halted in front of the Ed
wards House where vocifcrous cheers were
given for the peoples candidate for the
next Presidency-sL Little Mae" the State
Ticket, Judge Turpie, &c, &c. A little
past twelve a hickory wagon drawn by
thirteen yoke of oxen, representing the
thirteen original States, and signifying
that a long pull, and a strong pull, and a
pull altogether is what the Democracy are
determined on in the coming canvass, was
seen entering Michigan street from the
east on Madison street. This was the
signal for a general uprising of those
who had previously arrived. Both sides
of Michigan street from Yellow River
Bridge to the residence of c. H. Reeve,
Esq, was completely lined with people
The procession moved down Michigan
street, hating in front of the Edwards
House where cheer after cheer was given
for Peace and Union the Constitution and
the Laws, and the Democratic candidates
generally.
At half past one o'clock the immense
masses moved to the Seminary Grove
where the speaking was to take place.
After the meeting had been called to or
der most supert flag, on which was in
scribed the names of "McClellan and
Pcndleton," Mcdonald and Turpie,"
"Peace and Union" was presented to the
Chairman of the Democratic Central Com

committee of Democratic ladies, consist

The Letter To Gen. Mcclellan An
nOunCing hir Nomination.
New YORK, Sept.

NEW DIRK, sept. ..
Major Gen George B. Mcclellan:
SIR-Thc undersigned were appointed
committee by the National Democratic
Convention which met at Chicago, Aug.
29th, to advise you of your unanimous
nomination by that body as the candidate
of the Democratic party for President of
the United States, and also to present to
you a copy of the proceedings and resolu-
tons OF the convention.
1t gives us great pleasure to perform
this duty, and to act as the representatives
of that convention, whose deliberations
were witnessed by vast assemblagc of cit
liens who attended and watched its pro-
ceedings with intense interest. BE assur-
ed that those for whom we speak were
animated with the most earnest, devoted
and prayerful desire for the salvation OF
the American Union and the preservation
of the constitution of the United States
and that the accomplishment of the objects
was the guiding and impelling motive in
every mind And we may be permitted
to add, that the purpose to maintain that
Union is manifested in their selection as
their candidate of one whose life has been
devoted to its cause, while it is their ear
nest hope and confident belief that your
selection will restore to our country union
peace and constitutional liberty.
We have the honor to be your obedient
servants, Signed by the Committed.

The meeting at Walkerton on the 9Th
inst was largely attended and Judge Tur-
pie made one Of his very best speeches
Notwithstanding the lovers of free ne
negroes, and abolition rowdics in that
neighborhOod, had previously threatened
to prevent NJ. Turpie from speaking, and
had made their arrangements for that plir-
pose, there was the largest political gather
there that had ever assembled at that place
Certain "lewd fellows of the bascr sort"
seconded by a number of women of their
own stripe brought to gether for the pur-
pose of endeavored t. create disturbance
during the speaking but were given to dis
tiEctly understand that their conduct
would not be tolerated and concluded that
discretion was the better part of valor-
Walkerton and vicinity being largely abo-
lition in politics, but endeavored on the
occasion referred to, to carry out the le-
gitimate teachings Of the party in power.
Intolerance, bigotry, and persecution as
naturally attend the reception of abolition
ism as water runs down hill We hope
that democrats, and especially democratic
women in that vicinity will whenever occa-
sion requires set such an example of good
order and propriety as will put to shame
the poor degraded wretches who at Wal
kerton last Friday ovcrstepped not only the
bounds of propriety but also of common
decency.

is universally spoken of as most eloquent
and patriotic effort. The positions he
took IN favor of such measures as would
tend to restore peace to our distracted
country, clnnot but receive the approba-
ton of every cool and rejecting mind
HIS remarks were earnest, dignifed and
appropriate. The sentiments he uttered
were warmly and enthusiastically applaud
ed, and are such as will be approved by
the people at the coming election.

'No State which cast a republican vote
at that (the last PresidentiaD election has
lifted its hand except in defence of the
Union-LoPofte Herald.
What becomes of the charges made by
the Herald and kindred papers that lndi-
ana. Illinois, and Ohio are full of traitors
clandestinely armed and ready to overthrow
the government, establish Northwes tern
Confederacy &C., &c. These States voted
for Lincoln in 1860, and the Herald now
says none of them ''has lifted hand ex-
cept in defence OF the Union" yet Morton !,
Darlington & Co. have been perslstently
asseverating that large proportion of the
citizens of these States are disloyal and
Gen. Heintzelman has issued an arbitrary
military order in violation of the constitution
prohibiting the people from transporting,
buyinc or selling arms and ammunition
under the pretense that these same States
that have not Gifted hand except in
defense of the Union" would use them for
reasonable purposes. This admission of
the Herald shows conclusively the hollow
ness of the pretense made by the abolition
lists that there are secessionists, traitors
and rebel sympathizcrs in these States
whom it is necessary to restrain of their
liberty or deprive of their right to bear
arms. What comment is this admission
of the Herald upon the wholesale system
of arbitrary arrests practiced by the min
ions of tyranical administration upon
their political opponents for the purpose
of securing mere political advantage and
perchance gratifying personal hatreds a
mong neighbors.

THE END OF THE WAR, say the admin
istration papers, is near at hand. 1t only
needs one more effort to crush out the re-
bellion and secure permanent peace
They have been singing this siren song for
more than three years, aud yet We arc un-
der the necessity of drafting half million
of men now to carry it on, and the Fed
eral officers assure us that all inequalities
in the assignment of quotas shall be equal
:zed IN the ncrt call. True, Sherman has
outgenSraled Hood and taken Atlanta,
and Grant still remains before Richmond
but the fall of Richmond, added to the
success of Sherman, will not end the war
at ALL The only result would be to trans
fer the field of battle for a time further
south, and probably to inaugrrate purely
guerrilla mode of warfare, unless the in
practicable terms of peace proposed by
the administration shall be abandoned and
the seeded States offered honorable terms.
This Lincoln will never do, yet he asks
the people to vote for him.
