AMI patriotic resides, illustrated their idea
Of" free speech" by attempting to break
up Union meeting At hall in that place
right under MACS nose. The Union au-
dience endured the disturbance AZ long a.
they could but after finding that nothing
else would do they summarily pitched the

~ The National lnteitigenccr goes in
for Mcclellan. It was quite natural that it
should do thai. It has always been on the
side Of the "nigger-driver,' and no one ex-
poets dotards to grow wise. Tbs National
Inteiiigencer also complains offthe Mary
land Constitutional Convention, because 1t
authorized the soldiers to vote! That it
considers q gross outrage. This, too, was
quite natural. Soldiers have no right, in
its opinion, any more than ''niggers." eer-
tatinly It was an outrage to permit them to
vote! What should they know OF Consti-
lions. That is the ''sympathy'' Of the Nc
too. They vote against the soldiers all the
time. $500 yS f

militia by his late order was by no means
. voluntary act. The, order was issued ID
CONCEAL the fact that the whole body was
deserving, and it was beyond the power OF
Hoods veterans to prevent it. It was fear
ed that the knowledge of this fact at the
North would tend to injure the "lit.le
Mackenzie Presidential prospects. So the
militia were ordered home to make sor,
ghum molasses! The order was obeyed, no
doubt, with the utmost alacri,y, by these
gallant ''chevaliers." They went home to
make rnolasses. Probably they will stay
there, clinging TO this new ''sweetener Of

Are you at work: That is the Ques.
ton we put to every true man in Iowa
Never before had We such cause to labor
On one side is honor, duty, glory, perpetu-
al Union, q confirmed nationality. On the
other is disgrace, infidelity, disunion and
eternal infamy. We live honored or die in
degradation a. we decide the issues in No
vember. Can we not labor earnestly in
such cause? Shall the hearts OF any fail
them just as we are within reach Of the
goale We should think not. Our people
have not sunk so low as to bend the knee
to traitors. They will continue to labor
cheerfully till their purpose is securely at
tanned. They are not SO faint-hearted AZ
the Copperhead "peace-on-any-terms'
men imagine. They see that The greater
part Of their work is done. and they mean
to complete it. Aad just in proportion a.
they are xealous in support ef.the Union
will be their zeal to elect the candidates
who represent their wishes and aims
They will work, III Io,cG, to make the de-
feat Of the traitors Overwhelming. They
will seek to bury the foul faction which
sustains the rebellion completely ont Of
sight, II not out Of memory. And they
will doit. But all must work to that end.
Each must do what he can not merely to
maintain our position, but to give it in
crease OF honor. Are you doing your share?

has been not only alleged but proved that
Mcclellan was on board the Galena, gun
boat, during the pending Of that battle.
And the General who hasso much capacity,
testified on oath, before the Committee on
the Conduct of the War, that he could not
remember whether he was on board . yes
eel during the fight or not
Now there might have been good cause
for his being on . boat during the battle.
The fact itself, is not damaging. Ifneces-
sary business called him there, it was
right. But what sort Of General is that
who cannot or don't remember where he
was when one Of the srandest battles Of
the war was raging and under his command!
How could man forget whore he was du-
ring such battle # he had business on
the boat would he forget that? II he had
none why was he not with his soldiers?
H~-s u
- On Tuesday night Of last week, Ma
jor General George B. Mcclellan was greet
ed by torch-light procession, fixed up be-
forehand, at Newark, New Jersey. and the
little fellow made very brief speech. On
the afternoon Of that day, the news Of Sher-
ridan's first victory over Early was receiv-
ed, and the victory was on everybody's
tongue-everybody's but McClellan's. The
General had not one word to say about it
to his f0llowers-uot word! We are not
at this. It was q terrible blow
to the poor devil. But he could have sof-
tened it by at leas: pretending to be glad
that the traitors were beaten. He had not
wi. enough even for that. It was violo-
ton Of his "peace' programme. 1t was an
indication that something was doing
driving the rebels to submission.
If his own letter was an honest letter would
he not have rejoiced most heartily over the
success Of Sheridan? Would he not have
told his s'friends'' that he was rejoiced :?
But he utters not word.
Is not this another unconscious proof
that the smallest of All "Mackerels'' is at
heart along side of Neutrality-suspicious. he
is 'speacen man according to the dicta-
ton Of JEFF. Davis? II he were not, would
he not have been glad Of an opportunity to
express his delight that brilliant victory
had crowned the Union arms.

Vo.Several rebel Generals were severely
wounded in the flrst great battle Of Sherri-
dan with Early. There was one General.
whose wound was most severe, probably
to be classed as fatal, whom he forgot to
mention. That was Major General George
-. Mcclellan. Sheridan, we suppose,
thought it his duty to report only those
wounded in his front. He made no note al
those in the rear, Of which George B. Nc.
Clellan, Fi;z John Porter and Don Carlos
Buell. were conspicuous ones. II the Con.
lperheads don't do something to stop thi,
killing work, Sheridan win make an end

Democrats of Indiana a. to their duty in the
present crisis of the country, and that is to Uote
at the presidential election next Tuesday Let
no man fail to discharge this duty regardless
Of the consequences to himself personally or as
to any doubt whether his vote will be counted
or not Every voter should deposit his ballot
upon the side of right. aud il he fails to
accomplish the end in view. the responsibility
will not be with him. but il will rest with
those who, for partisan purposes and personal
acknowledgment defeat the public will and sacri-
fee the public interests The time for argument
has passed 1t is useless now discuss the great
issues which depend upon the election next Tues
day The time for action, for the deter animation
Of those issues isupon Us. The party IN
power has had the full control of the
government for near four years, and who can
question. in the language OF an eminent repub
can, that Il has been in every respect fsiluref
Can such an administration claim the further
confidence of the country We believe it will
be fatal to the country to endorse a policy and
renew power which has cost Us the lives Of thou
sands of men. and needIessy put the country on
the road TO bankruptcy In this contingency there
remains no alternative but To organize against
that policy aud that power every element OF
conscientious opposition With the vies 20 prevent
she misfortune Of It's continuance. These are
the sentiments of the Republican candidate for
the Presidency in ls56 and they must be the con-
clusion of every honest man now. The remedy
is to rofs against such a policy and such a
