The Draft.

And so we are to have another draft. -
We are glad oft; not because we delight in
human miscry-to see our neighbors led off
like cattle to the slaughter, as slaughtered
they have been, through the inefhency and
incompetcncy of this accursed Administra-
tion-but because it is only through tax
alton, conscription and the manifold woes
which follow in train of civil war that the
people will learn to love peace better than
Congo nggers. Then let the draft come.
We trust Congress will not only abolish
the $500 clause Of the conscripton act but
compel every bowling Aboltonst to fight
instead of preach. Let it come in that
shape farely ond squarely, excepting no
canting priest or brawling Office holder and
peace party will rise into existence as
numerous as are the pimps of this con
temptible Administration who are now suck
ing the life blood of the people, Does any
one doubt it ?-I5ntiac Jacksontan.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.7
The General Feeling in Refer.
enCe to Mr. Lincoln.

We can say with perfect candor that the
most astonishing revulsion of feeling against
Mr.. Lincoln has taken place. Slowly but
surely the conviction has grown up in the
minds Of the people, that President Lin
coin Is not the man for a great national cri-
sis He has steadily labored to ALLEVIATE
from him the confidence of the people, and
to make his Administration powerful
through force alone. BY pursuing this
policy he drove away from him General Frc-
mont, and by his constant interference with
Secretary Chase, caused that able man to
throw up the Treasury port folio with dis
gust. The Ecening Post and New York
Tribune, both Republican papers, speak
pretty harshly about Mr.. Lincoln, and in
deed nearly every Republican newspaper,
which is not edited by an ofiiceholder, has
something to say in condemnation of him,
or at best is noticeable lukewarm in his sup
port. We hear ever day on our streets,
expressions of distrust from former support
ers Of the President. There are many caus.
es for. this state of feeling, one Of the most
prominent of which is an increasing senti,
mcnt that the delays Of the war ore owing
to Mr.. Lincoln's political scheming. The
people desire the war to be honorably con-
cluded at the earliest period consistent with
the public interests, and they have come to
regard Mr.. Lincoln as an obstacle to this
end. 1t is believed that a sound, firm man
would have done better with the immense
resources furnished Mr.. Lincoln. There
can be no question that great political
change Is in progress

The ConscriptiOn The Prayers
for it.

The Circleville Union, a Lincoln organ,
says OF Lincoln's conscription proclama-
ton:
This long deferred, but eagerly prayed
for proctamation, will be worth million of
votes to Lincoln, because it gives to the
doubtful and despondent an absolute assur-
ance Ofultimate success.
Who prays for the proclamation? The
wives, mothers and sisters of men who may
be dragged into the field, leaving them to
die OF penury and want DO children
pray for proclamation that may take from
them their fathers forever? Do the pros
pective conscripts pray for it ? Oh no
publican politicians not subject to a draft,
who think it will be worth a million of votes
to LINCOLN. Ofcoursc, in their estimation,
a million of votes for Lincoln would be
cheaaply purchased by the lives of half
million of conscript, = Cincinnati Enquirer.

Nor A PARTY QUEsTIoN.-Fr pres
cnt indications the defeat of the Widow
Maker at the coming election will not be q
party question, good men of all parties will
engage in the work. When the integrity OF
the nation and the lives and liberty of the
people are at stake party prejudice should
be thrown aside and all labor together for
the public good. In this great emergency
we would not urge men to be Democrats,
but we would beg of them to vote against
LINCOLN, that they and the country may be
saved.

FINED. A few days ago DIR. ENos caught
Il little son of Mr.. ISAAC DAIsoN is his lot
where he had some choice fruits and taking
his knife cut the boys coat so badly as to
spoilit. When Mr.. DALsoN lived in this
place, the boy was in the habit of doing
chores for Mrs. ENos, who was always kind
to him, and on this occasion, being on a vls-
it, he got in the lot to ask Mrs. ENos for an
apple, and when on the way was caught by
the DoCToR and used as above mentioned.
The DoCToR did not, we suppose, know the
design of the boy, nor did he take time to
find it out. 1t was certainly very rash
proceeding on his part, and his conduct has
been pretty severely denounced by citizens.
On Tuesday he was arrested on warrant is
sued by r. JUSTICE, Esq, and after exam.
ination fined $500 for his indiscretion.

favorable occasions. A subscription paper
is being circulated among the faithful to

famous Napoleon war We give this as an
item of news, without any disposition to

Persons would naturally think there must
be some foundation for such story. The
whole truth in the matter is; some time ago
several persons in ncighborhood took a
notion to have little gun to shoot on the
4th of July and other public holidays
They bought one fourteen inches long and
one inch bore. Paid four dollars and fifty
cents for it. Men Of both parties contrbu-
ted to raise the funds. What terrible
weapon it would be to inauguratc a rebel
lion. These are the whole facts in the case,
and all the foundation there is for the Re
puJljcda'S S article. We must remember the
article was written by one who has twice
published himself slandcrcr to avoid
prosecution, and who is now plying the wick
cd vocation of lying about his neighbors by
reason Of being a dcscrtcr from the 100 day

SINGULAR.-It is a singular fact that
those who talk the most for war for Con

and are anxious to avoid the draft. In thi,

the Board of Enrollment to have thei,

fuse to contribute their precious Selves

For THE UNIoN.--When you hear a
LINcoLNITE say he is for the Union, ask
him if he is for the Union as our patriot
fathers made it. If he says yes; then
ask him how he can support LINCOLN, who
refuses to end the war on condition of re-
storing the Union as it was. But he will be
more likely to say he is in favor of new
Union composed Of Free States. In that
event you can inform him that he and jeff
DAVIS are alike; both being for the des-
truction of the Old Union and the estab-
Hshment of one to suit their capriccs.
