A Lincoln EleotiOneering Article.

The paid organs Of the Aboli'iun party are
doing all they can in a feeble way to Fr-elect
their master to the Presidency bHt their ef-
forts are indIferently successful, because there
is very little ability in them. Below we give
On article from sodrce enthusiastically in IA
tor Of IrNCoLy, which Is worth peru>ing, be-
cause it is ably written and because it con-
tains, among things which are not true, more
truth than can be found in the general run Of
LINCOLN organs
[From The Richmond Enquirer Of Sep. 81
The Democratic nominees in the United
States are Mcclellan for President and Pen
dletoh for Vice President. What concern
have the people Of these Confederate States
in the fate these candidates at the approach
ing election2 In our opinion, the interest
and hope Of peace is not greatly advanced by
these nominations. From Gen. Mcclellan
our people can have but little hope of peace,
other than a reconstruction peace.
What hope do his antecedents hold ont that
should encourage our people to believe that
he would yield our nationality any sooner
than Mr. Lincoln? He IS BY FAR THE MORE
DANGEROUS MAN FOR Us; had his policy been
persistently tollo,ged, and the lDar conducted on
the principles Of ctdiliaed atarJare he njgLthave
divided our people, and, perhaps, conquered our
liberties. With cunsummate abilities, he clearly
foresaw that emancipation might possibly free
the negroes, but could not unite the sections;
that confscation might enrich his soldiers;
but could not reconcile our people hence,
with an earnest and honest lote for the Union
he avoided those fatal facts, and condrc'el
the war for the restoration ofthe Union, rath-
er than the destruction of the South. His
policy was the olive branch in one hand and
the sword in the other, to conquer by power
and conciliate by kindness. 70 1ras most
dangerous policy for us; ) for Vthc ameliorati1g
hand Of Federal kindness hate sotteRed the rig
ors of 1car, our people acOuld not hare been s"b-
jected TO terrible fires of suffering By lchich hr.
Lincoln has hardened sUery heart and sieeled
sver'y ssutimsafagainst our merciless foes. As
a sincere secessionist, preferring war and ma
tionality to peace and the Union, we looked
upon the fact of difference between Mr..
Lincoln and Gen. Mcclellan as to the proper
policy Of conducting the war, as peculiarly
fortunate for our cause. We hailed the pro-
clamations Of emancipation and cOnGscauon,
and the policy Of plunder and devastation as
sure pledges of our ultimate triumph; they
were terrible ordealsj but they most efectu-
ally eradicated every sentiment of Union, and
arottsing the pride as well as the interest Of
our people, infamed the patriotism of the
whole, until they would have accepted death
as preferable to ultimate defeat.
Now, between Mcclellan and Lincoln there
are many points of diference-the former is
a man of talents, of information, Of frmness
and great military experience and ability
the latter is a supple, plant, easy fool good
but vulgar joker.

The General Feeling,

siScE Gen. Mcclellan was put in nomindi

Letter from Col. A. Y. Rice.

THE following letter from Col. Rice,
Democratic candidate for Congress, has
been handed US for publication:
KALIDA, Ohio, Sept~15, 1864.
Col- Jesse S. Norton, Toledo, Ohio
Ny DEAR COLONEL Your letter of
the 18th inst. was received to-day. I
tender my warm thanks for its friendly
terms, kind wishes and congratulations
in my late nomination for Congress. My
recollection of our intercourse in arms, to
which you allude-when, in the Spring
of 1861, we together went " to the vars
for the suppression of the rebellion, the
maintenance of the Constitution, and the
perpetuity of the Union of all the States
is as vivid as your own. For these OBJ
jects have I steadily worked, and there
yet stand.
My nomination was certainly unsought
and unlocked fer. My servieein the ar
my, commencing when the first blow was
struck at our nationality, and soon after
leaving College, has so fully engrossed
my time and attention, that parties and
the civil departments of the Government
have received very little thought, least Of
all that I Ishould be candidate for Office.
Ny Intentions are, as soon as my
wounds have sufficiently recovered, to re-
turn to the gallant men of my command,
whose fortunes have SO long and so
proudly shared but if my fellow citizens
Of the 10th Congressional District think
I can, in the halls Of Congress, better
subserTe their interests than by continu-
ing my military calling, I do not feel at
liberty to deny them the opportunity Of
making the experiment. And should 1
be elected, I asure you it shall be my
pride to remit no effort to vindicate the
generous confidence thus reposed in me.
I am greatly aided in permitting my name
to be thus used by the gratifying hope,
based on our recent victories and present
prospects, that the need of my services in
the field will have passed ere the meet
ing of the next Congress.
I certainly shall aim to do nothing to
bring reprOach upon the service which
has constituted my chief and almost ex-
elusive pride for the past three and a
half years, nor upon my brave comrads
in arms, with whom I have shared SO
many trials and perils "Tbe Union
must and shall be preserved" )" and this I
believe to be the sentiment of our people,
however they may differ in regard to mi
nor points.
If honored by an election, I shall deem
it my duty to support the Government in
the use Of every constitutional means for
the earliest suppression of the rebellion,
and for the union of the States. My record
IS my sword and my wounds, and with
these hope for success.
Thanks for your kind Invitation to Wis
1t you; regret my inability to do so at
present, on account Of my wounds. I am
confined to my bed most of the time. My
foot, my only support, is yet unable to
bear my weight. viii come as soon as
I am able.
