Lewistown gazette. [volume] (Lewistown, Pa.) 1843-1944, 1864-10-26

~ We publish on our outside two
important articles which we commend
to the attention of our readers. The
trst Is a refutation of q tory slander
got up against Mr. Lincoln that he was
drawing his salary in gold. The state
ments of the officers of government
show that so far from doing this he
has managed to live in the White
House for nearly year without draw
ing his salary at all, and that where
all others are drawing gold interest he
alone takes his in paper! Yet this
honorable and patriotic man, who
stakes his all for the benefit of his
country, is maligned and villifed as a
butfoon, tyrant, and other choice to-
ry epithets by a set of scavengers,
some of whom have perjured them
selves to cheat the government out of
a few dollars income tax.
The other is an exposition of an
"Order" under various names, branch
of which it is we'll known exists in
this county. We have in our possess
sion copies Of the oaths, &C., captured
by the authorities in Indiana, from
which it appears that the members are
first sworn as supporters of State
Rights-the Notification Doctrine of
1888 as taught by Calhoun and other
Southern traitors; but as they advance
In degrees they are sworn on in treason
until they solemnly obligate themselves
to obey the commands Of the leaders
"'0itsom renaonstr0nce or question: As
Vallandigham, the Ohio traitor, is. or
lately was, the head of the concern. all
honest men who have been unwittingly
led into the meshes of this conspiracy
ought to withdraw at once, for tbev
may rest assured the time is not dis
tant when the ringleaders will be called
to account.

Peace Pendleton

Pendleton is at last out in a short
letter, which concludes with the fol-
lowing paragraph: g. .. l.
| am in favor of exacting no conditions
insisting upon no terms, not prescribed in
the Constitution; and am opposed to anv
course of policy which will defeat the es.
tablishment of the Government upon it's
old foundation and in its territorialintegrity.
Now if there is man living who
can make anything out of this letter,
ne must be something more than hu.
man, unless it is taken for granted
Pendleton and Buchanan agree upon
the construction put upon the Consti-
tuition, which it will be remembered
was that the latter could find notbinc {,
in that instrument authorizing him to
put down rebellion, or in other words
to cOerce a State!

Gives it Up.

The New York Herald, Mcclellan
paper, shows that the party which car
ried two of the three States of Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana, in Octo-
Der, have i'll every case carried the
Presidential election in the following
month, from 1910 down to and includ-
ing 1860 The Union party have now
carried the three States and therefore
the Herald says: "The conclusion in
evitably follows that the real result of
the State election Of Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana, of Tuesday last,
have determined the Presidential con-
test Of 1864"
In regard to the result in Pennsyl-
vania the New York News, (Ben.
Woods paper,) of Friday says : In
Pennsylvania both parties claim a vic
tory on the home vote, and each set
down the figures at from three thous,
and to five thousand. The contest is
so close as to give an appearance of
plausibility to the claim of each. The
soldiers vote will elect the Republican
State ticket over any majority that can
be figured up against it."
The soldiers vote this year was last
year, to large extent, the home vote.
1t is just as good now as it was then,
and it will count the same in Novem.
Der as it did in October What foIly,
then, for Democratic papers to be
claiming Pennsylvania, or be deluding
their followers by pretending to believe
that Mcclellan can by any possibility
carry this State in Novemberl They
know better.

Every property holder, every land
holder, every owner of a greenback-
a the best money we have ever had, for
1T passes everywhere-every laborinp
man who wants steady EN- mployment
and good pay, is interested in re-elect-
ing President Lincoln, for who can tell
what peace administration would do
if the people were SO foolish as elect
one. Remember what one of the dem
oeratic speakers said at Chicago, name
ly, that our government bonds would
become worthless, and remember what
coppefheads in all quarters say of
greenbacks, that like continental mon
ey, they will be worth nothing. viii

with the General, which he prefaced
by stating that he did not come from
the President, and had no authority or
consent to make overtures, but advised
Mcclellan not to accept the nomina-
ton, as he would certainly be defeated,
but to show his patriotism by asking
command, which, if refused, would
throw the responsibility on the admin
istration. The General promised to
give deep consideration to the matter

told him he thought Gen. Mcclellan
might write to him about the matter,

Speech of the President on Free Mary,
land.


WASHINGTON, Oct 10, 1S64.-To-night
the President was serenaded, and appear
ing at an upper window, spoke as follows,
being frequently interrupted by applause !:
al am notified that this is compliment
paid me by loyal Marylanders, resident iu
this District. infer that the adoption of
the new Constitution for the State furnishes
the occasion, and that in your view the
extirpatlon of slavery constitutes the chief
merit of the new Constitution. Most
heartily do | congratulate you and Mary
land, and the nation, and the world, upon
the event. l regIet that it did not occur
two years sooner, which, | am sure, would
have saved to the nation more money than
would have met all the private loss incident
to the measure; but it has come at last, and
| sincerely hope its opponents may, by it's
effects, be agreeably and proftably disap-
pointed.
A word upon another subject: Some
thing said by the Secretary of State, in
his recent speech at Auburn, has been con-
strued by some iato threat that, if shall
be beaten at the election, will, between
then and the end of my constitutional term,
do what | may be able to ruin the overn-
ment. Others regard the fact that the
Chicago Convention adjourned not sine die,
but to meet again if called to do so by a
particular individual, as the ultimatum of
purpose that if the nominee shall be
elected. he will at once seize control of the
Government. | hope the good people will
permit themselves to suffer no uneasiness
on either point am struggling to main
tain the Government, not to overthrow it.
|, therefore, say that if I shall live, shall
remain President until the 4th of next
March. And whoever shall be constitu-
tionaly elected, therefore, in November,
shall be duly installed as President on the
4th Of March, and that, in the interval,
shall do my utmost, that whoever is to hold
the helm for the next voyage shall start
with the best possible chance to save the
ship. This is due to the people, both on
principle and under the Constitution.
Their will, eonstitutionally expressed, is
the ultimate law for all IF they should
deliberately resolve to have immediate
peace, even at the loss of their country and
their Liberties, | know not the power or the
right to resist them. 1t is their own busi
ness, and they must do as they please with
their own. [ believe, however, they are
all resolved to preserve their country and
their liberty; and In this, in Office or out of
it, | am resolved to stand by them. | may
add, that in this purpose-to save the
country and its liberties mo class of peo.
pie seem so nearly unanimous as the SOL
diers IN the field and the seamen afoat.
Do they not have the hardest of it?
Who should quail when they do not? God
bless the soldiers and seamen, and all their
brave commanders.

patent democratic majority, which if
correct could be reduced to l in this
county by deducting 4 pauper votes in
Derry and l rebel vote in Brown.
This majority will be increased a few
thousands. All that the Union men
have now to do, is to 60 to the polls on
the 8th of November, and see that the
hundreds who staid at home at the last
election also turn out. Give the Re-
