The People GulIed.

Mr.. Dawes, a Republican member O.
Congress from Massachusetts,, in a speech
on the frauds and populations of the pre-
sen t Administration, said: Il
"In the Grst year of a Republican AID
ministration, which came into power upon
professions of reform and retren chment,
there is indubitable evidence abroad in
the land, that somebody has ~plundered
the public treasury well nigh in that sin.
gle year, as much as the entiI current
yearly expense of the Government during
the Administration which the people
hurled from power because of its corrup-
tion." r4r- .=r.-T4tE a- f1I1I
The above extract, coming as it does
from high Abolition authority, should be
evidence sufh Client to those who support
Lincoln's administration, that it is one Of
the rottenest concerns now known on the
face of the globe. 1t is this fact which
the Democracy of the country have been
trying to impress on the minds of the
people for the last three years. but thus
far without success. But still there i S
hope. There is a happy change taking
place at present which is destined to an
initiate Abolitionism and consign 1t to an
ignominious grave. 1t is a settled fact,
established beyond dispute. by the past
history of the country, that the Democrat
ic party is the only party that can conduct
our government with success. All other
parties of whatever shade, color or prin-
cipal nave failed, never having been able
to r~e-elect their President for two consec-
utive terms. Such will be the destiny of
the Abolition party; 1t has made its own
grave by outraging the rights of an inno-
cent people.whose wrath and Indignation
will recoil upon it by stamping the brand
Of defeat upon its forehead ia November
next. This is the mission of the Demo
cratic party, and those of other parties
who desire to see the country saved. Let
every man understand his duty aud per-
form his work. There is no time to idle.

sci, they proceeded to nominate for Sher-
if. DIT. Sampsel nominated III. G.. Hood
and Mayor Sampsel made a speech in ia
vor Of Hood to the effect that Hood had
some rebel lead about him and consequent-
ly he was a heagy'dog. Alexander Nell
son, of gVermillion, was announced as a
candidate for nomination. Mr.. Nelson
has long been q consistent and fair mind
ed member of the Republican party, had
worked for it through thick and thin, had
stood by it through disaster and defeat.
But 10! a renegade, kicked out Democrat
becomes master of ceremonies, introduces
as has candidate another Breckenridge
renegade and against all rules of conven-
tions or decency shoves him through with
a set speech. The convention saw that
Dave had the upper hand and they dared
not disobey.V He'll stick to them as long
as he can thus rule. as long as he rules
he'll! run them into tho ground, and when
they tell him to come down to the ranks
he'll make a desperate effort to kick their
mush into the fire. ~ @
After Hood was nominated, one Camp
sci of Ashland, moved that the delegate
system be abandoned for the popular vote
system. Sampsel, that has the brick yard
North of town, made a speech in favor of
the proposition. Several gentlemen made
speeches in opposition. Dare Sampsel
tircu made another speech. He said this
delegate system was corrupt and fraudu-
lent; hat a clique of two or three in each
township controlled the nominations, and
that without disrespect to this convention,
he must say, in looking around, that he
behold the same set ofmen that had made
the Abolition nominations for the last ten
or twelve years. The convention got
scared and Mr.. Sanpsel's molten was
carried. After the transaction Of some
business of minor importance, DR.. David
Sylvester Sampselis convention adjourned
in gloomy silence, sine die. ~ :l.l laa5

, Peace.

There is hardly a week passes now but
we hear of men of this county, who have
heretofore been wal men, turning around
and declaring themselves for peace and
the Democratic faith;-men too who have
voted the Abolition ticket and supported
this Administration which has so nearly
ruined the country. The Democracy are
almost universally for peace and with the
accessions we are having daily, we can
safely say that a vast majority of the vo-
teIs of the country are ready to demand
peace on any terms. sal 51iDnnj ~ i7i

Abolition Postmasters.

We have complaints from almost every
locality in the county, from our subscri-
bers, that they don't receive the Union
regularly, and in a great many cases not
at all. THIS is no fault of ours, as We at
tend to the matter Of mailing the paper
ourselves, SO that no default on our part
may occur. The fault, we are compelled
SO say, is with our loyal Postmasters, and
not one of mere accident. Were it but
an occasional delinquency on theit part
we should say nothing; but when it m
to be weekly, it becomes our duty to spot
the villainous scou6drels in order to clear
ourselves of any delinquency in sending
cur paper<regpIarly to subscribers. The
UBien is particularly offensive to the
filthy n~ostrils of brainIess Abolition trail
tors, ard more especially to one horse, bla-
tant, Abolition Postmasters. They think
to keep up their reputation for loyalty, by
p~erjuring themselves in suppressing the
circulation of Democratic papers and will
fully and wickedly refusing to perform
their sworn duties as officers under the
law. It is time the people should see and
understand the ~iniqui:y of their workings,
aud demand and compel a respect for their
rights. Other papers of Abolition hue
pass through the mails regularly without
complaint or default. Why not Demo-
cratic? By what order or law or regula-
ton are we debarred the use of mails, ex-
cept it be by a "muggius' of a Postmas-
ter who has, not sense enough to enjoy
good health2 We shall put ourselves to
some trouble to see who. is to blame in
this matter, and endeayor to have the full
penalty Of the law visited upon the heads
of the, miscreant scoundrels. Recollect
there is no wrong without a remedy, and
a word to the wise is sufficient.

lion of votes to Lincoln, because it gives
to the doubtful and respondent an abso-
lutte assurance of ultimate success"
Who prays for the proclamation ? The
wives, mothers and sisters of men who

them to die of poverty and want Do
children pray for a proclamation that may
take from them their fathers forever p
Do the prospective conscripts pray for it?
Oh! no. The only men that pray for it are
the Republican politicians not subject to
a draft, who think it will be worth a mil
lion of votes to Lincoln. Of course, in
their estimation, a million of votes for
Lincoln would be cheaply purchased by
the lives of half a million of conscripts.-
