Editors LeacaSter Gazette We, tho
undersigned, non-eommissionod Off
GERS and privates OF Go. II, 5Sth Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, and of Fairfield
county, beg leave 10 ask through your
paper, who OF the YallandIgham par
ty Of Ohio, has had the impudence to
mail to our address the enclosed pack
ages of the Eallahdighom party tick
cts. We wish these politicians to
know that we are aware that they
done everything in their power to de-
privc ns Of the privilege Of voting,
while in the service, and even after
the Union members of our Legisla-
ture secured for US that glorious and
inst privilege, they even tried to haze
the election contested, because tho
soldiers had n voice in the same. We
would lave these politicians know
that we consider it an insult to the
soldiers to be asked to vote with that
party, and also consider them enemies
in our rear who arc decriving our hon
est friends who would give us their
influence if it were not for such
men as Coz. Schlcich who has left us
and gone home to use his influence
against us and in favor Of the rebels.
We respectfully ask the gentleman
who sent MS these tickets to call at the
Gazette office, receive the same, and
I forward them to those for whom no
, has been giving his influence. We
will return the original envelopes. In
case that gentleman does not call Tor
them, we you'd suggest that they bc
presented to the Valandigham Cen
tral Committee Of Fairfield county.
that the person who sent them may
be reprimanded for violating the laws
Of the ValIandigham party in trying
to obtain for the soldiers privilege
that is in violation Of the laws Of their
party, and, as they say, the Constitu-
ton. The handwriting on these en-
yelopcs we cannot detect, but ifthe
person notices this, We trust he will
come forward and own up the corn
and if not, by this mode he can bo
brought to justice by the Committee
/ for this violation of their laws.
We remain respectfully your. obc-
dent servants for Lincoln and the
Union, and the suppression Ofthc re-
belion by force Of arms.

THEY DECEARE THAT "MA C,s ALL
RIGHT"

When General Mcclellan took com
mand in West Virginia, we, in com
mon with the country at large, enter
taincd high hopes Of success in his
future career. No one lent him u
hearticr endorsement than we did; no
one wished him q moro fcrvent God
speed" than we did no one could
have rcjoiced over success he might
have achieved than we would But
when we looked at bis career after as
suming command Of the Army of the
Potomac, when we waited and watch
ed for some movement OF his immense
army before Washington, and no
movement was made; when We read
of pompous reviews in camp, and of
magnificent balls and festivities in tho
Capital, wherein Gen. Mcclellan was
the most conspicuous figure when he
rcirained from movement because the
heat was too great then because the
mud was too deep, and finally, because
"thc tedres on the trees rere too hick," ,"
we began to lose faith in his ability as
n commander, and our hearts grew
faint over the prospect ofthc evils that
his weakness must subject us to- And
when tho events at Balls Bluff and
Manassas eliminated in disgrace we at
once surrendered all hopes Of achiev-
ing any thing fuccessfuI under his
leadership, and proclaimed our con-
viction that as a commander he was n
failure.
But, in all that we have ever said
concerning McClcllans career in the
army, we have never imputed to him
actual and downright disloyalty to the
Lcausc he was commissioned to defend
We confess to occasional ,misgivings in
this regard when some new disaster OF
mysterious procedure would como to
light. We sometimes secretly Won
Idercd how 1t came TO pass, if General
| Mcclellan was true man, that our
every movement and plan, the mum
I bcrs of our forces and the strength OF
onr armament, were actually known
to the rebel leadcrs--cven before our
| own commanders had knowledge OF
them. Such was the fact; but VIC are
10th to believe that General Mcclellan
could by any possibility, connivo at
Esuch proceedings, as some less chalita.
Bile than ourselves openly charged him
with. And it must be confessed that
circumstances went far to warrant the
suspicion that his conduct was worse
than mere weakness could explain.
That he should have permitted him
solf and his army to be actually shut
up, virtually JeSeiged in Washington
by an army known to be but about
ono-third his own, to be kept there for
months in succession, without striking
a blow; to permit the rebels to hold
tho Baltimore & Ohio railroad on his
right, and to blockade the Potomac on
his left, leaving him only a single
track for supplies, and that liable to
destruction at any day, all withoutTa
single effort at extrication--aH this ar
1 CUES something worse than weakness
! 1t has been called cowardice by some
while others hayepronounced it treach-
cry to the cause ho pretended to de-
fend. Who can explain such, conduct
