THE VOICE OF THK PEOPLE.

134E kOlNE QF 41ah F&tO1AEs
Elsewhere we present In u condensed form
the resolutions passed by various State Leg
islatrrcs endorsing President Lincoln nud his
administration and fayoriag his rcnomina-
ton. These resolutions indicate the popu-
lar voice and the popular wish. The people
have set their heart upon Abraham Lincoln,
who has plloted the Ship Of State through
nearls four stormy years and haye determined
that lie shall rcmain at the helm, with IN
loutst heart within and God overhead, until
be has worked out the salvation Of the old
ship. There arc three classes working
against him: The rebels, who dread nothing
60 much as Ills reelection; the Copperheads,
whose apprchenstous run In the same track
with the rebels; and sore-heaaed politicians,
like Greeley and Poneroy, who are contsiv-
ing their Vaccinations in the very house Of
their friends. The combination may be briefly
summed up rs follows: Jefferson Davis,
Alexander q. Stevens, Fernando Wood, VAL
landtsta1n, Horace Greeley, s. G. Pomeroy.
Every one Of these men will move Heaven
and earth to. prevent the re-nomination Of
President Lincoln, but the people Will over
throw this political firm and their plottings
In the words Of the Maryland State Union
Convention, the people IRE for Abraham

bic paralIel in the case of Paul, who was BIT
ten s,y the adder On the Isle Of Melita, and
the President Of the United States. Both
were men, to human seeming, most unlikely
to he the chosen Of God for their good leader
ship. btr. Lincoln, Ike the Apostle sailed
into the terrible Euroclydon, which burst in
terrific fury, and to his wise counsel the
lives Of all on board are due, and, / believe,
III tangel Of God stood by him. The Island
OF Emancipation was reached, and the bar
barous people showed much Kindness" But
ne Abraham .was seeking the comfort Of the
stor1n-tossed, the ripper Of Copperheadism

snakes arel came ont and tnstened upon him.

len nnd fall down dead; but he did not cease
his work, hut simply shook of The reptile

AUDITOR.
JACOB MCAULEY.

FELLOW CITIZENS : Remember that
on Tuesday next is the most important
election, in which you will ever be cal
led upon to participate. The eyes of the
people Of the whole country, are turned
upon Pennsylvania, and if we can show
to our brethren in other states, that the
Old keystone State is sure for glorious
Little Mac" in November, it will have
controlling influence throughout the
north. The election in thisstate on Tues
day next will in a very important sense
| decide the Presidential contest. Every
vote will count in its influence. II in
adding the votes in the Congressional
Districts, it shall appear that the De,
mocracy have a majority, it will give q
stimuous to our friends in other states
which nothing can overcome We
know there are many Who propose to vote
our ticket in November, who do moi
propose to vote at all on Tuesday. This
is wrong A vote now will tell more
even than a vote in November,
Remember the policy of Abraham
Lincoln and his party, is as Henry vii
son states it "war and only war;" wher
no living man pretends to be able to sec
the eud Of it, The policy Of the Demo
cratic party is to seek peace through
coaciliation-to attempt to appoaso the
passions Of the people and to bring them
all together again in the spirit Of the
fathers. Choose ye, war and only war,
or peace with all its attendant blessings
/ AS tho people decide in the election, so
! will it be.

GEN. BURNSIDE ON MCCLELLAN.

With what crushing force Of rebnkc
does such testimony as Gen. Burnsido'a
come home to the Lincoln presses Of the
Tribune stripe, who seek to defamo Nc.
Clellan by impugning both his ratri-
otism and his courage
Among series ofrcsolution adopted
by the Democrats of Pittsburg, Pa, the
following is peculiarly patriotic
ResoIccd, That we might rest the
name and fame Of our candidate, Gen.
Mcclellan, on the language of Cen
Burnside, Ga brother officer high in the
confidence Of the administrator ):-"I
have known him (Gcn M'Clel!an) most
intimately, as students together, as sol
dier5 in the field, and as a private cti.
zen. For years we have lived in the
Same family, and have known him as
well as any human being on the face of
tie earth, and I KNOW THAT NO
MORE HONEST, CONCIETIOUS
MAN EXISTS THAN GENERAL
MCCLELLAN. I know that no feeling
or ambition beyond that Of the Govern
mert and the success Of our cause ever
enters his breast. All that he does is
with single eye, A SINGLE VIEW TO
THE SUCCESS OF THIS GOVERNMENT,
and to the putting down Of this rebellion.
| know that nothing aadcr the sun will
ever induce that man to swerye from what
he knows to be hjs duty. He is an hon.
est, Christianlike and conscientious man;
and now let me add one thing, that HE
HAS THE soUNDEsT HEAD AND CLEAR.
