FREMONT WITHDRAWN.

We are pleased to announce the withdrawal Of
canvass. Although we never regarded the Ere
mont move as amounting to anything, yet we
hail its abandonment as a step forward in the
path to peace. 1t will add thousands of votes
to the immense endorsement which the loyal
people will give Abraham Lincoln next Novem.
Der. 1t will make their voice more effective, in
proportion as the number is increased. It re
moves dissension from the Union ranks, and
knocks very large prop from urder Copperhead
hope.
General Fremont has regained hosts of friends
by this move. And he relieves many men who
were unintentionally acting the part of Copper
head allies. he expresses belief in and satisfac
ton at the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln, claiming
that as Mr.. Lincoln has always been q follower
rather than leader of public opinion the main
difference therefore between them is settled, mas
much as he will be guided by that great COVER
nor, which the General thinks is up to his stan
dard. General Cochrane accepts the Baltimore
platform, and warmly urges the reelection of
Mr. Lincoln.
The Cleveland and Buffalo attempts to unite
the opposition to Mr.. Lincoln in the Republican
party satisfies US that the Cincinnati Convention
will not amount to anything. and as the end Of
the campaign approaches and the fight thickens
the loyal men of the North will be o unit for
Lincoln and johnson.

ELECTORS.

We to-day substitute the name of Marcus j:
Parrot for that of W. F. Cloud, on our Electoral
Ticket. We are as thoroughly satisfied and con-
WINGED that the salvation of the country and the
happiness Of the people demand the reelection
of Abraham Lincoln, as we are that we exist.
We believe further: That it is positively and
absolutely impossible to preserve this Govern
ment through the success of his opponent. With
such a belief deeply impressed upon our mind,
We could not do other than sink every thing
else for its success. We would not that the
rebels should be gratifed by one single electoral
vote for their candidste-and particularly may
God spare the glorious Commonwealth of Kansas
from casting that vote.
Personally, We prefer Cloud, and would be
glad to confer honor for his glorious services
but Cloud is not the man to stand in the way of
q principle SO vital. We therefore hope that his
name will be dropped, and the possibility Of q
Mcclellan elector running in cease to be. And
then. don't let the boilers be more maguanimous
than we. They nominated our full ticket, and
Afterwards placed a man of their choice on be-
cause one of ours died. We hope this difference
will be healed before November.

THE VALUE OF PRINCIPLES,

The Copperheads, who are the main supporters
of Bob Miller for the State Senate, hold number
OF strings in their hands, by which they hope to
pull in many Republicans. First, he claims to
be fer Ewing, by which he hopes to gull the
boys in the EleYenth regiment secondly, he is
for Col. Phillips, which is bait for Saline
county We learn that he passed himself off
among the Germans on Mill Greek as Fremont
er, in Saline county as q Lincoln man, while in
a speech in this place accepting the nomination
he made no allusion to Presidential matters.
We have q few questions to putt these Repub-
licans. Is Ewing. or Phillips, or any other m,n,
worth sacrifice Of principle so sweeping as
vote for Bob Miller would demand7 We find no
fault with your personal preferences. but why
make them manifest through a Copperhead. the
choice of men who three years ago would have
hung Ewing and Phillips for their loyalty Are
you willing to submit your interests and voice
in this vital moment of our countrys history to
a policy man? Is one vote for Ewing or Phil
lips worth all the other votes of two years which
may be cast for Copperhead measures Z Is one
vote for any living man on Gods footstool equal
to the principle involved in the reelection of
Abraham Lincoln, that You should support-even
countenance-a man who does not support that
principle? Surely no Republican, loving his
creed with full heart, will make such a cheap
sale of its heaven born principles. otherwise than
thoughtlessly.
On the other hand, all are personally acqusin-
ted with W. K. BARTLETT. No man can say
aught against his integrity. If he has not the
same personal preferences that you haye, you
know him to be Copperhead-rebelha hating anti
slavery New Englandsr, whose tastes and deyo-
ton to principle would not lead him to claim a
birthright in the semi -barbarous States of South
Carolina or Georgia-and whose vote on every
measure would accord with your own.

house in Council Grove, on Saturday, the
Gath ult., put in nomination the following
ticket:
For Representative, Rev. Joab Spencer /;
County Commissioner, A. s. Pollard; Pro

Of tho nomination for Representative We
have only this to say, that it was one that
was eminently 6t to be made. Mr.. Speu-
Ger was the only voter in Morris county
who was consulted BY S. N. Wood last
winter in Interference to the Senatorial Fraud,
and he counseled its consumation. And if
the Convention could not consistently NOM

Rebel Steamers on Lake Erie.

Government has received information
that two armed rebel steamers, fitted out on
the Canadian coast, are at large in Lake
Erie, and, when last seen, were off Bass
Island.
By terms of treaty with Great Britain,
we are prohibited from maintaining more
than one vessel of war in Lake Erie. The
gunboat Michigan is there, and a protest
was some time ago made by the British
the entire number of guns agreed upon for
all the lakes upon our northern frontier.
A compromise was effected, and We believe
that the Michigan is now required at john
sons Island, where rebel prisoners are con-
fined, and there is nothing to prevent rebels
from destroying the commerce of the Lake,
and laying Buffalo usder contribution.

Fremont's Letter of Withdrawal.
BOSTON, Sept. 81, 1S(

0O0AOHN3 OCpAs ~ ACV1s
Gentlemen: l feel it my dnty to make
one step more in the direction indicated BY
my letter Of the 25th of August, and with
draw my name from the list of candidates.
The Presidential election has in effect
been entered upon in such way that the
union of the Republican party has become
a paramount necessity. The policy of tho
Democratic party signifies either separation
or re-establishment with slavery. The
Chicago platform is separation-Ges. Nc.
Clellan's letter Of acceptance is re.establish-
ment with slavery.
The Republican candidate, on the con-
trary. is pledged to the re-establishmens of
the Union without slavery, and however
hesitating his policy may be, the pressure
of his party will, we may hope, force him
to it.
Between these issues think no man Of
the liberal party can remain in doubt. Il
am consistent with my autecedents in with.
drawing, not to aid in the triumph of Mr..
Lincoln, but to DO my part towards pre-.
venting the election Of the Democratic can
didatc.
In respect to Mr.. Lincoln, continue to
hold exactly the sentiments contained in
my letter of acceptance. I consider that
his administration has been politically, nil
itary and financially failure, and that its
necessary continuance is cause Of regret
for the country.
There never was greater unanimity in
a country than was exhibited here at the
fall of Sumter, and the South was power
less in the face of it; but Mr.. Lincoln
completely paralyzed this generous feeling.
He destroyed the strength of the position
and divided the North when: he declared TO
the South that slavery should be respected.
He built up for the South strength which
otherwise they could never have attained,
and it has given them an advocate on the
Chicago platform.
The Cleveland Convention was to havo
been the open avowal of the condemnation
which we have been freely expressing TO
each other, and which has been fully known
to the President; but in the uncertain con.
dition of affairs, leading men were not
found willing to make public a dissatisfac-
tion and condemnation which could have
rendered Mr.. Lincoln's nomination imposs;.
BILE; and this continued silence and support
established for him character among the
people which leaves no choice. United.
the Republican party is reasonably secure
of success; divided, the result of the Pre-.
sidential election is at the least doubtful.
l am, gentlemen,
Respectfully and truly yours,
j. C. FREMoNr.

Stirring Words from Grants Army.

Stirring Words from Grants Army.
The following private letter from an
officer in the army Of the Potomac, Is pecu-
liarly interesting:
TRExcHEs BEroRE PfrEassuRo,1
September 4, 1864.
Our regiment was relieved from the front
line last evening for forty.eight hours. and I
must now tell you how the "Johnnies "
received the news of the nomination Of
Mcclellan. They seemed to take more in
terest in the Chicrgo Convention than We
did, were very anxious to get our latest
papers, and probably an hour after We 10
ceived the news of the nomination, they
had heard it. as they set up . cheering
along their entire line, and their bands
played the Bonnie Blue Flag. Their cheer
ing sounded harshly upon loyal ears.
The Johnuies seem delighted at the idea
of "cessation of hostilities and conven-
ton of States," as this would give them
time to recruit and gather supplies. In .
talk with q rebel prisoner, he said to me,
"Giye US cessation of hostilities only for
three months, and We can fight you for i've
years longer! But no matter how long We
have cessation of hostilities, the end will
be the same. You have either to conquer
Us, or We to conquer you.
This rebel was frank and now, is il not
humiliating and cowardly, to
talk of cessation of hostilities at this pres
ent time, when the redels are truly on their
last legs. All tha. is now wanting is dfty
thousand good fresh men sent here to assist
our tired and worn.out army. ] firmly be-
lieve-and this is the belief of our entire
army-thst, with only fifty thousand fresh
men sent here, Grant would soon be in
Richmond. Our situation is now so firm
and safe that no rebel army could disturb
US. But we need fresh men to advance.
I have not seen the first man who is in
favor of cessation of hostilities." No,
no! eight on J" is now the word. Ev-
cry man here sees and knows the condition
of the rebel army, and it cannot hold out
when fifty thousand fresh men are brought
against it.

ONWARD.

We propose to publish an account of a victory
each week until the grand and Gnal victory at
the polls in November. Our deluded Southern
brethren have of late been getting such ineessant
raps over the knuekies that it is impossible for
them 10 cast the hesviness from their hearts and
appear joyous cnee more Sheridan is /" sloshing
around" in the Shenandoah perfectly reckless
knocking down the castles in air built by peace
sneaks. sending gold hurting down. and calico
as big king as gold-has taken similar start.
All splendid electioneering agents for Lincoln.
Sheridan has whipped Early q second time in
the Shenandoah Valley, completely routing
him. and darkness only preventing the entire
rebel army from being captured. The import
ance Of these victories cannot he over-estimated
as the possession Of that valley Was of great
advantage to the rebels.
If We mistake not, Pennsylvania votes next
Tuesday, and by our next issue we will know
enough Of the result TO state that she is good for
fifty thousand majority for Lincoln and johnson.
If, however, she does not cast her vote until the
second Tuesday, then Sheridan cr some body
else will whip them in time for US to tell about
it next week. Well do what We cay. for that is
the way it is going Eow. The thing is being
wound up.
