"Facts for the People,"

Those who hesitate for whom they
should cast their vote in November,
will do we'll to consider the following
facts:
That the rebellion is Democratic
bantling, inaugurated under Demo-
cratic Administration and connived at
by Democratic President.
That it was engineered in it's incipi-
ent stages by Democratic Cabinet and
the Democratic members of the Fed
eral Legislature
That with few and insignificant excep-
tons, all its prominent leaders were
Democrats.
That it originated in the Democratic
State of South Carolina, and ragged
fercest where the Democratic prepon-
derance was greatest.
That every sympathizer with rebel
hon-every Fort Lafayette graduate
every member of disloyal secret organ
ization-every secret and open traitor
in the North is a Democrat.
That every attempted uprising against
the Govern ment-the riot in New York
last year and the more recent plot con-
cocted in Indiana -were Democratic in
their origin and inspiration.
The prominent Democratic leaders in
the Free States have been holding Sc
cret correspondence with the conspira-
tors at Richmond ever since the war
broke out.
That the engineers of the Chicago
Convention were in communication with
rebel emissaries at Niagara Falls during
the summer, and that the Democratic
programme was virtually fixed by these
"high contracting parties"
That George N. Sanders, an agent of
the traitors at Richmond, pronounced a
benediction upon the results of the Con-
vention, and telegraphed the editor OF
the rebel organ in London to support
the Democratic ticket.
That General Mcclellan was nomina-
ted in pursuance of secret arrange
ment between the leaders Of the rebel
lion and their Northern Democratic
allies.
That the news of his nomination was
greeted by cheers along the rebel lines
at Petersburg.
That the motion to make his nomina
ton unanimous was made by Vallandl-
CHAM, the high priest of Northern trai-
tors, and the Chief Commander of the
secret armed organizations in the West
That his most active supporters are
men who are pledged to overthrow, by

County Treasurer.

There is great rejoicing in the Copper
head camp over the chances which they
think they have to defeat our candidate
for County Treasurer, Mr.. Francis
Vivian. Knowing that they stood not
the slightest chance to defeat him by
running one Of their men against him.
they, through tool of theirs, who by
some oversight got into the Union Con
vention, have induced Mr.. Granville,
of Linden, to run as an independent
candidate. Now, Mr.. Glanville, as far
as We know, is good Union man, and
under other circumstances we should be
glad to support him, but like Mcclellan
and Fremont, he has got into bad COM
pany, and stands no more show Of being
elected County Treasurer than Fremont
did to be elected President, and if he
was as patriotic to his county as Fremont
was to his country, he would like
Fremont withdraw. The Copperheads,
always rejoicing over a split in the
Union ranks, are through their tool
persuading Mr.. Granville and his friends
that he will get great many Demo
cratic votes, but when they say it they
know they lie. Now these are not
merely assertions without proof, for we
know them to be facts. This tool that
we alude to was actually DELEGATE to the
Union Convention, and after the ad-
journment of that Convention, while in
conversation withssa prominent Democrat
who was afterwards a delegate to the
Copperhead Convention, he was heard
to use these words 'You nominate a
good man for Sheriff, and we will scoop
Tom Thomas-nominate strong men,
and we will defeat the whole Shanghai
Ticket" What do you think Of that
Is not that rather STRONG language for
Union man to use? And this man
by the use Of Mr. Granville $ name, is
doing his utmost to "defeat the whole
Shanghai Ticket" All we ask is that
the Union voters Of the County may not
be fooled. Watch your tickets, and
see that they have the name Of FRANCIS
VIVIAN on them for County Treasurer,

A Montreal paper of Friday, the
day after the raid upon St. Adams, has
this:
"Mr. George N. Sanders, the well
known Agent Of the Southern Confed-

this arrival has had with the raid can
be guessed from the fact that one Of the
robbers telegraphed to Sanders thus !:
I'VE are captured. Do what you can

Norwegians Read this,


The following letter from William
B. Nelson Of Co. c, 31st Wis. Reg t, a
person we'll known in this county, to a
prominent Norwegian, will be read by
many of our readers, with much inter-
est. When his country called for assist
ance he nobly responded, and now he is
unwilling to be deserted by his Norwc-
gian friends, who when he left were
considered Union men. After some pre-
liminary remarks he comes to the main
subject in this wise:
THE recruits which are constantly
arriving from Wisconsin, tell us that a
great many Of the Norwegians in our
county have turned traitors, or what is
more polite, Copperheads but as the
two terms signify the same, according to
my notion it is immaterial which you
call them, and that they are going to
vote for Mcclellan, hoping that he will
the soonest close the war. Now this is
mistaken notion, or, at least, [ think
SO, and [ assure you there are few SOL
diers in this department who think DIFF
rently. [ am well aware that the prin-
ciple reason that my countrymen are
deserving the cause is because Of the
present and the prospective heavy taxes.
This is matter Of great Importance,
for [ am we'll aware that it is at the
present time hard matter to pay the
taxes, but is it not likely that we, suf-
fering as we do at times, are as anxions
to close the war as you are? Yea, and
more so. My life is at stake, and in
danger every day while your property
is at stake. But l do solemnly swear
that I never would consent to peace
unless it was honorable to every soldier
concerned. And [ don't hesitate to
say that it would be impossible to OBJ
tain an honorable peace under the Ad-
ministration of Gen. McClellon. A rebel
officer of high rank, told us that it was
the general belief in their army that if
Mcclellan was elected, they were all
right. And if they would be all right
we would be all wrong. should think
this alone would be enough to cause
every voter with spark Of patriotism
to spurn him, for he cannot be true to
the Union and be friend of the rebels,
and am we'll satisfied that it is the wish
of every rebel that Mcclellan may be
elected. But again, if the candidate
was what they represent him to be, the
platform is enough to sink every delegate
who attended the Convention to the
lowest depths Of infamy, and any man
accepting a nomination on it is fit
subject for the gallows, and should be
hung as high as Haman.
The rebel soldiers are tired of the
war. From prisoners and deserters
coming in almost every day We learn
that they dread an encounter with US,
for they know they will be whipped and
driven from the field.
Now, want this war to close, am
tired Of camp-life, tired of fighting,
tired of being shot at, and SO | am 60
inc to vote for the man who | think will
end it the soonest and in the most hon.
orable and effectual manner, and having
more at stake than you have, | have
studied the matter, and with my fellow
soldiers, have come to the conclusion

The Great Conspisacy.

Judge Advocate General Hollis re-
port upon the testimony gathered by
him concerning the reasonable secret
societies formed in loyal States, as ad.
juncts to the rebellion, was published in
the Post some time ago. According to
this report this reasonable order en-
braces societies bearing various titles,
such as Mutual Protection, ""Circle of
Honor, knights of the Golden Cir
Gle, Corpse de Belgique Southern
League, " "Order American knights, :"
"Order of the Sons of Liberty"
"knights Of the Order of the Sons of
Liberty" ''Peace Organizations, "Star
Organization" american Organiza-
ton, democratic Inyincible Club, y
Democratic Reading Room, and "Mc-
Clellan Minute Men" The latter title
is one born by secret political associ-
alton in the State of New York and
other parts Of the North.
Of it Judge Holt says: It would
seem to be branch of the @. A. K,
having substantially the same objects,
to be accomplished, however, by means
expressly suited to the localities in
which it is established, for, as the Chief
Secretary Of the association, DR.. B. F.
Stevens, stated in June last to reliable
witness whose testimony has been fur
nished, those who represent the Nc
Clellan interest are compelled to preach
a vigorous prosecution Of the war, in
order to secure the popular sentiment
and allure voters.
The Mcclellan Minute Guard, as APP
pears from circular issued by the Chief
Secretary at New York, is organized
upon military basis similar to that of
the order proper. It is compose of COM
panies, one for each electoral district, ten
of whom constitutes brigade, with a
Brig. General at it's head. The whole
is placed under commander-in-chi
The number belonging to the Order
has been variously estimated at from
100000 to l, 900, 900, but Vallandigham
in his Dayton speech, put it at 100000
which is probably nearest the total
These are scattered through Indiana,
Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri and
New York. In March last the armed
force of the Order was capable Of being
modelled for emergencies.
The oaths declare that member will
defend with arms the principles Of the
Order whenever directed by competent
authority Of the Order.
1t was admitted by one Of the Order
in Missouri that on joining he under
stood the object to be aid and assist
ance to the Confederate Government
He adds: "The Order is hostile in
every respect to the General Govern
ment and friendly to the so-called Con-
federate Government. 1t was exciu-
sivcly made up Of disloyal persons de-
sirous of securing the independence Of
the Confederate States, with view of
restoring the Union as it was"
Other purposes Of the Order are
shown to be Aiding soldiers to de-
sert, destruction Of government prop
erty, destruction Of private property,
and the persecution Of Union men ;
assassination, murder, and the establish
ment Of Northern Confederacy.
