The Tribune says 1t is an outrage upon
deetncy, that 100, 900 white men confined
as prisoners Of war; North and South,
have not long ago been liberated. The
Tribune speaks the truth for once. And
why have they not been liberated Be
cause the Lincoln Administration has out
ragged deeenoy by adhering to the odious
doctrine that a negro is as good as white
man. Decency is outraged by those in
authority as a matter of course. But it is
habit Of the Lincoln Administration to
outrage decency and especially is it a
habit of LINCOLN himself, in "his public
walks and private conversation" to out
rage deeeney. Decency was outraged
when this low, vulgar, ignorant, cowardly
aud cruel man was made President and
his occupancy of the White House will
be standing outrage on decency until he
suffers an ignomnious expulsion.

tons His Cabinet secretaries have been
mere clerks, charged with the supervision Of

The Immense Election Frauds

used for a poll list, have been fairly surpassed
by the late election in Indiana Only think
of Indianapolis with population of twenty
FIVE thousand, giving vote of ten thousand
In the same ratio Cincinnati ought to poll
eighty thousand votes instead of the 30, 900
she has Just cast This is specimen of what
transpired all over the State, aud its very
statement is argument enough to show the
fraud. II is melancholy to think that there is
anybody who will rejoice over a triumph pro,
cured by such means. II ia a triumph OF deg.
radiation that should bring sorrow to those
engaged in il when they reflect calmly upon
it. IL any moral effect can be had favorable
to Lincon's cause from the late election in
Indiana, the party has sunk even lower than
we, its enemy, are inclined to believe.
Such a victory will turn out to be worse

On the 29th Of Sept. the Mcclellan men e
a section OF Barkhamsted raised hue hick-
ory pole, and from its top flung to the breeze
q handsome American flag. II was the flag
Of the Upion---with all the stars aud all the
stripes On the second night alter the raising,
the Lincoln men came secretly in the dark
and bored six large anRer.holes in 1t, cutting
il nearly in two, 10 order TO have it break in
the first wind, and then tore away the braces
and threw them into the river. Here is an
other illustration OF the love of that party for
the American dag-of their real feeling for
what they call "Old Glory" Their conduct
in Rhode Island in tearing down an Ameri-
can flag which had been raised by the friends
of Mcclellan is another illustration. Again,
more recently, the same breed of Lincoln
patriots in Chelsea, Mass, tore down and
trampled large flag Of the Union there.
In Pleasant Valley the Mcclellan men de-
termined to watch, aud in the night the Lin
coin sneaks came again, to finish their work.
1t was very dark, but the Mcclellan guard
fred upon the followers of the 7Fibune's in-

or not is not known 1t is hoped they may

object of their calumny. But nothing
swerved him from duty and to the last he
was faithful expounder of the Constitu-

for McCLELLAS. Mr.. PRATT said he
would. "Then, said the Foreman, eve
cannot employ you, for we have strict
orders to employ none in the Government
service but those who will support the
present administration.
This is plain simple statement of the
facts as related by Mr.. PRATT himself
This shows conclusively, as it has been
shown an Infinite numbe of times and
ways. that Republicans have no regard for
soldiers unless they can coax or oonstrain
them TO vote the party ticket. Their

Their wounds, aud scars, and msngled

Difference to the popular verdict
We may with quite as much truth say
that the hope OF Republican Govern
ment on this continent rests upon fair
and free expression Of the public will at
the ballotbox, Whenever elections come
to be carried by fraud and force, the Gov
ernment which tolerates such measures, 50
far from being worthy of preservation,
ought to be instantly superseded. To
speak of such Government as "Re-
publican Government" is an abuse OF
words, and an insult that ought to be re-
sented. Look at the facts Last year
Indiana had no Governor to elect and
she colonized Ohio to the number Of
thousands of votes. This year, Ohio sends
an equivalent number TO Indiana to aid
in the election Of MORTON. Illinois, by
the same Infamous means, contributed to
the same iniquitous end. But this is not
all. Force is employed-miltary force
the force Of bayonets-w whenever and
