THE DRAFT.

Preparations to Resist 1t in PennsyI.
vRnia-Ex-GOVernOr BisleF in Lea
que with Traitors.
The Cincinnati Gazette of August 18th
contains the following startling disclosure
of plot to resist the draft in Pennsyl-
vanaI
1t is more and moro apparent that the
COpperhesds are contemplating bloody
work against the draft in many localities.
There is, however, no reason for alarm, be-
cause men too eoWardly to defend their
country, and 50 base as 10 secretly collude
with traitors, viii lack the pluck aud cour-
age necessary to place themselves in such
a dangerous situation. But there is more
going on in preparing for resistance than
Is reported. Much more news of that kind
Is received by business men from their cor
respondents than gets into tae papers
For example, a book Publisher of our city
yesterday received letter from Clearfeld
county, Pennsylvania, from which we arc
allowed to take the following; aThe peo-
pie here are all crazy about the coming
draft. They have already been holding
meetings to prepare to resist it. Some OF
them are spending the last cent to pro-
cure firearms. tx. Governor Bigler is at
the head of it. l hope it will not be long
before he receives what hejustly deserves
Behold the position of the Peace party
They lift up their hOwlings to Olympian
heights on account Of the slaughter nee
essary to save the Government and at the
same time propose to i'll another ocean
with human gore by initiating the traitor,
in rebelling against the laws of the land

FRIDAY MORNING.. AUsUgT as.
The Re-NOminatiOn OF Judge spAIding.

The Convention yesterday was fully at
tended, and its proceedings were perfectly
harmonious. The denomination of our
able member, the Hon. &, P. spaldipg, was
foregone conclusion, and it only needs
the confirmation of the Convention, which
was done by acelarnation. Judge Spald-
ing has been faithful Unionmember, and
has done good service for the cause as his
votes and speeches viii testify, and it was
mete and proper that his course in Con-
gress should be SO thoroughly endorsed by
his constituents Let the Union men of
the 18th Congressional District see
that it still retain the proud
title ofthe Banner District Of the State"
and by thorough organization and other
wise enfeavor to give a still heavier ma
jOrity than was given last fall, when we
carried the district by over 1000 majority.

Listen 20 General sherman.

Major General VIM. T. Sherman gives it
as his opinion that general draft or con-
scription may yet be necessary to crush
the Rebellion, because of the apparent ap-
athy of the Northern people. General
Sherman is so patriotic and earnest in his
work that our slow movements snd poor
efforts to raise men irritate and anger him
His genius shows him success, and he could
grasp it, but the people unwittingly tie his
hands.
