Mcclellan.

Never was joy so outspoken, so wide
spread, so heartfelt, as that which responds
to the nomination of Mcclellan and Pendle-
ton. Changing bells, roaring cannons, and
human voices unite to give such an endorse
ment of the nominees as stirs the fountains
Of joy to their utmost depths. Why thi,
unbounded and uncomfortable joy? Becaus,
it is the harbinger of better days-the assu
rance, if the people are true to themselves
that the nation will be delivered from a SCI
of blood to a land of Peace, Prosperity an,
! Happiness

POIit iCal Excitement On the In
crease In Cleveland.

So far as the Democracy is concerned,
there is wonderful stir and ferment Ward
meetings are held every night. Clubs have
been organized in every part of the city.
The central MCCLELLAN club through its
able and industrious officers has been of the
utmost service in promoting thorough or
ganization of the Democracy and the West
side consolidated club has been likewise of
great aid to auxiliary movements.
Tonight the Ward meetings for the cleo
will be held and they should be largely at
tended. Let the Democrats turn out en-
nasse to these meetings They will COM
pact us for the great Ratification Meeting of
Saturday. Rally, the ball is rolling on
merrily and we have abund ent reason for
hope. Ploindeoler.

A Shoddyite is one who grows rich by
fraudulent government contracts.
A Government Buzzard is one who holds
an Office created by the war, and who is
growing fat on the blood Of men murdered

Bats are those who can't see that the
country has suffered enough under the rule
of the widow maker.
Patriots are men of all parties who desire
the public good, who want Peace, Liberty,

party preudices and support Mcclellan and
Pendlcton that the country may be saved.

The Abolition papers are applauding
Samuel Medary and Ben Wood because the
Crisis and the New York Ne,cs refuse to
support Mcclellan and the Lincoln elec-
tioneerers are busy in efforts to extend the
circulation Of these papers. The Shoddy-
ties, Government Contractors, and Cotton
Spectators, are understood to be 'bleed-
ing very freely, to raise fund to pay for
their gratuitous distribution, whenever it is
thought they will be the means of taking
votes from the Democracy While the
New York World, the Cincinnati Enquirer,
the Chicago Times, and other Democratic
papers that support Mcclellan, are sup.
pressed in certain military districts by Abo-
lition Generals, the Crisis and the Ne,os are
allowed free circulation in the same dis.

Little Mac and the Soldiers.

The following is an extract from letter
from a soldier in the Army of the Potomac;
'You ask me what think of Little Mac
for our next President? Why, l think he
is just the man. / only wish you all knew
him as well as we do; he was friend to us

never passed by us without asking how all
the boys were; and was so with the whole

Remarkable.

1t is remarkable fact that for the last
three years the rebellion has been about used
up immediately before an election When
Lincoln's Office holders want votes they
report that the rebels are about whipped
out and starved out, and deserting by reg
imcnts. A heavy call for more men comes
directly after the election. The telegraph
is in the hands of government hirelings and
until after the election we may expect it to
be freighted with ponderous lies.

Slavery.

The definition of a "slave' is that he is
"a man whose bodily toll and the fruits OF
it are the property of another" and under
this category comes every man in the United
States whose labor is, at the present time,
mortgaged, and the fruits of which are con
fscated daily at the rate of sixty cents on
the dollar by the swindling processes of this
Republican administration financial sys-

No nominations have ever been received
with such unbounded enthusiasm on
the part of the people as the nominees of
the Chicago Convention. MCCLELLAN and

they will be elected by an unprecedented

selves. Should we allow the dispiritcd, dis

then woe woe ! will be the fate of the

An Intelligent President.

Lincoln issued his call for five hundred
thousand men, and stated therein that unless
the men were raised draft would be made
at the expiration of fifty days. About the
time the fifty days was expiring he discov-
cred the law required sixty days notice to
be given. A very intelligent President,
aint he? Lincoln very often mistakes the
laws of Congress, the Constitution, his oath
of Office, etc.
Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1864-09-22

1t is singular indeed that any man should
be willing to vote for Lincoln under the
present state of affairs. We have tried him
four years, and we defy any honest and
truthful man to point to one single great.

There are but two considerable parties at

Mcclellan and the Draft.

The Republicans imagine that they make
strong point against MCCLELLAN because
at one time he asked Lincoln for drafted
men. The administration had ordered a
draft, and Mcclellan was very much in need
of reinforcements. There was no use to ask
for volunteers, because they could not be
had. Drafted men was all he could obtain,
and he wanted them as soon as they could
be obtained. There is no doubt he regretted,
that the government had to force men into
the army,-Ifa proper policy had been pur-
sued, there would have been no need of a
aft.-Ha,dm County Democrat.

Can't Go Mcclellan.

We are informed that Mr.. b. G. BRowN,
Of this place, can / go Mcclellan because he
is military man. He is safe in going for
Lincoln since he knows so little about mill
tary matters that he has sacrificed thousands
of brave men without any hope of good
resulting.
We may add that Mr.. BRowN holds n
fat office under Lincoln, and that he never
voted a Democratic ticket 1t is rich to

What have we I'm Return I,

Abraham Lincoln has been the cause of
more death and more misery than any man
of whom modern history makes mention, -
lie has sent whole generations Of young
men to the grave, and what has he done to
show for it? He has had two millions OF
men and fifteen thousand millions of dollars,
He has had the arbitrary power of Caesar,
and what recompense has he made to the
people for them ?

The city election in Alton, Illinois, lately
held, was boldly contested on party grounds.
1t resulted in the success of the MCCLELLAN

thirteen majority. This shows the tremcn-

The people have been cheated SO
often by the story that the South was about
to give up the contest, and that our success
in the war was speedy and certain, that he
who believes it now is generally regarded as

for three more years. With him to prose .
