&C., &c. No matter if the speakers do mis-
represent and cauminate those whom you deem
the best and greatest men in the oountry--no
matter though they preach treason and rebellion
it is not your business to stop them-nay. You
have no right to do it, Every man is response

ity. not to mob violence. II speaker lies,
choose proper time and place to refute him;
bat you have no right to do it in his time and
place. If party meeting is called, its platform
is not free to members Of the adverse party. un-
less they be specially invited thereto. They are
invited to listen, not to teach, nor to interrupt
And, II you don't like what is said by the in-
vited speakers, you are at perfect liberty to 60

Some persons seem TO cherish q vague notion
that they have a mission to expose all the
sophistry, refnte oil the falsehood. and rebuke
all the sedition they may chance TO hcar-a
most mscheyous and dangerous assumption.
You are not called TO notice in any manner
objectionable remarks not specially addressed TO
and rejecting upon yourself. In fact, too much
consequence is usually given to false or blunder-
ing assertions. They soon pass out Of mind, II
well let alone. Gen. Fremont. when candi-
date for President. was the target Of a steady
FIRE Of personal detraction, such as few men
ever encountered. He said nothing In replyi
his friends said very little; yet we doubt that be
lost one vote for every million lies told TO biz
prejudice. And now President Lincoln is
assailed with equally furious and scnseless
scurriity. His friends rarely notice the sttocks

dable, determined Rebellion based on devotion
J. to Slavery. ABRAHAM LINCOLN and ANDREW
JOHNSON are the chosen candidates for President
and ce.President of those who hold that the
d Rebellion was causeloss, wsnton, wicked, and
ought to be given up or pat square down.
d George b. MoCieiiaa and George III. Pendieton
are the rival candidates Of those who hold that
d Rebellion provoked, impelled, excusablo, and
would have it bought of, or compromised with,
e by new concessions, new guarantees 10 Slavery,
j. so that the Rebel chiefs, (f they can be induced
to return 10 the Union,) shall como back and re.
: sumo the Government Of our country with the
for years out of his estate by the false pretenses
Of rival and the chicano Of rascally attorneys.
Hore is q grand, broad, vital ISSUE in view OF
D which Mr.. Lineoln's sorriest jokes and Gen.
! McClellan's still sorrier speeches become Of no
3 account whatever. We oppose Gen. Mcclellan
because of orr conviction that he does not want
the Rebellion put square down. and never
did, even when he was in command Of
the Union armies. We oppose Mr.. Pendleton
because he has at all times ind under all cir
oumstances maintained position Of courteous
and dignifed, state smanlikc and manly, but
most determined and effective opposition to the
War for the Union. We infer from his public
career that he esteeBs Slavery righteous,
natural, benefcent, and is doing his best to
strengthen and perpetGatc it. Like Horatio
Seymour, be would rather have tho Union
divided than SEQ Slavery overthrown; unlike
Seymour, no walks uprightly, speaks frankly,
and goes on his wrong course with the Cir of n
man whose course is guided by hs convictions.
He is in politics our natural, deadly antagonist,
whom we can respect even while we mast de-
termnedly oppose him.
Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson en-
body and represent the spirit of unHinchng
antagonism to the Rebellion--to its spirit,
indictments and sims-and they are supported
for this reason, on this ground opposed. They
will be voted for by all who sympathize with
