Security 10 be Reaufred.

Before the election We were assured by the
supporters Of Mr. Lincoln that the rebellion
was 20 nearly crushed that no other draft
would be necessary. But since that event
the note OF preparing is being sounded for
another call. The Washington correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial SAYS:
MORE MEN FOR THE ARMY.
IL seems TO be no secret among officials
and others ThO pretend to know any thing
on the subject, that the reason why General
Grant makes no offensive movement against
Richmond is, that be has not at his conI-
manda force sufficient TO warrant him in SO
doing and give him confidence in the results
Many will exclainl when they hear this

to make up for the discharges for disability
and expiration Of service since the lst of
May last The quotas in the half million
were furnished principally by the exhibits
of towns and cities to the effect that they
were so many thousand ahead of all calls;
that they had not received credit for certain
enlistments in the navy, which they had
hard work to show where ever made at all,
or that they were entitled to credits for hun
dred-day men--all of which may have been
.yery'fa and very proper on the part Of the
towns and cities interested, but unfortunate
ly such pen-and-ink reinfGrcements won't
swell the ranks of the army, and it requires
something more substantial than paper Gre

Hon. Henry Wilson. chairman of the
Military Committee of the Senate, is here,
in daily consultation with the head of the
War Department, as to the best means
Of providing for the recruiting Of the
armies.
The enrolment law is as nearly perfect as
it can be made, and quite as exacting upon
persons liable to military duty as similar
laws in other countries. 1t ought to be
amended, however, so as to provide that
while draft is pending or progressing, no
person liable to draft shall be allowed to leave
the district in which he resides without fur
nishing satisfactory security that, if drawn
in the lottery, he will be forthcoming, to en-
ter the army in person or send substi-

The Reelection of LinCOln-EEiS
POLICY

"a gate, y the Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette, writes as follows
to the Boston Commonwealth, the organ OF
Senator Sumner, upon the reelection of Mr.
Lincoln. He says: "....
I'VE have gained the battle. Must.the
historian, in recountng hereafter our tri
unph, declare that we have thereby lost the
campaign?
Mr.. Lincoln has undergone no change
since the last of July, when good men Of all
parties were uniting in the opinion that his
election was an impossible calamity. Shall
we hope that it will now he left for those
good men to change their opinion?
., with the most earnest wishes that here
after Mr. Lincoln administration may ex-
hibit fewer of those faults against which Ra-
dical Republicans have felt forced to testify,
| confess that am not sanguine. The same
men retain their influence over him, the
same kind of advisers surround him; the
same counsels are still likely to have weight.
''The fact which the whole country sees is
precisely the one which Mr. Lincoln does
not see; the fact, namely, that an overpow-
erimg sense Of the. duty of defeating the
Chicago Platform. and not the confidence of
the people in Mr.. Lincoln, reelected him
There never was canvass in which person
al enthusiasm was SO small an element =,
All our speakers bear the same testimony
Through large portions of the country, es-
pecialIy in the West, men voted for Mr. Lin
coin as they take calomel; it was bitter
pill, but the political doctors thought it nes-
essary."
). There is much truth in the closing lines of
the above. 1t might be added that there
has been scarcely demonstration of joy
over the election in any part of the country,
Those by whose instrumentality it was effect
ed seem to, be doubtful in their own minds,
in the hour of triumph, whether that tri-
umph will result in good. ~

A Display OGthe Right Spirit.

A seaenade was given, lately at the As
tor House, New York, to Hon. Reuben Il.
Fenton, the Republican Governor elect
The reception speech was made by General
Daniel r. Sickles, and it is worthy of com
mendation for its conciliatory spirit. What
an agreeable contrast is afforded between
this speech of General Sickles and the vio-
lent and lntemperate haraugues of some So
called union men. General Sickles said:
I'm the midst of this triumph, it is Just
and proper to say that something is due,
much is due, to the minority We owe to
that minority the respect which belongs to a
large mass OF men, actuated by pure pat
riotism, but. In ouIiadgment, misled by er
roneous convlctlo6s as to their path Of duty.
We owe to them the respect which is chal-
lenged not only from us, but will everywhere
be commended, in the manly and cheerful
acqulescence in the peoples verdict, which,
up to this hour, has everywhere been ex-
hibited. Applause: And, sir, am sure
do no. injustice to the sentiments Of those
whose sutfrages you received, when have
said that the heart of our people-both the
majority and the minority in the recent can
vass-wlll welcome more gladly than any
other word that could be pronounced in their
hearing, the tidings of an honorable peace
"a peace that brings back to us union-a
peace that gives to our future security
peace that has about it nothing that can Of

either Of the great sections Of the Union. -

We do notseek its determination. We ask,

AL Important Letter.

We give below highly important letter
written by H. p Spaulding, member Of
Congress from the Cleveland District, to W.
H. 2. Denny, Editor of the Circlevile Un-
ion. 1t was found few days ago and the
original is the possession of gentleman of
this city, 1t is important as showing the
hypocracy of both Mr. Spaulding and Mr.
Denny, who while protesting to be the firm
friends Of Mr.. Lincoln were secretly intrigu-
ing to defeat his denomination. As those
gentlemen viii probably be seeking favors
Of the Administration, this precious epiStle

Prom tho Philadelphia Mercury, Neutral
Enormous Growth OF Executive
Patronage.

One OF the greatest dangers 10 our liber-
ties IS the corrupt exercise of Executive in-
tluence IN the distribution of public Office.
Ofthis feature in our political system, the
wise and vlrtuous statesmen who framed the
Constitution, and afterwards revised it in
the State Conventions, we're especially je;.l-
Gus. They endeavored to separate the
three great departments of Government so
that no two could combine against the other
for the subverSion of civil order and free
dom. But events are fast proving that the
conservative balance which they s:roye to
institute in the framework of the Govern
ment, has proved to be sad failure in prac-
tice. The Executive has too much favor to
bestow in the shape Of sslaried offices, and
every day is augmenting this power. 1t is
fnghtful to contemplate the enormous a.
mount of this means of corruption, which
is continually accommodating in his hands.
A host of officials, dependant on his plea
sure, scattered all over the land, and con
trolling individually, as local politicians,
certain number of voters, who control, in
their turn, many more. is a machinery COM
petent, in time, to establish, if it has not al
ready established, despotism in the midst
of theoretically free people.
Pc That it has been employed corrupty is aS
certain as that it exists. Since the day Oh
which Mr. Lincoln assumed the Presiden-
tial Office, the appointing power has been
used tp reward political partisaps and pun
>h political opponents. Custom has even
gwen this gross WroDg kind Of sanction
It's brarely avowed aud justified as salu-
tary right Of the reiening dynasty. Exccu-
tive patronagcis openly exerted to force the
most iniquitous measures through Congress,
50 that those who are members of the same
political party with the Administration, but
who are too honest to approve of all of its
opinions and acts, are vn,iictively dismissed
from positions under the government, and
their places accorded to others who are sub
seryieht enough to do the bidding Of an I'M
nerlal master. Events now transpiring at
Washington prove tl.at our liberties are
passing into the keeping Of the President -
The head of the State is becoming autocrat-
ic in his sway The one man power is SUI
perceding that of the people or their repre-
sentatiyes At this moment threats Of cx-
ecutive vengeance and offers of executive
favor, are being notoriously employed to
win men away from their honest convictions
OF duty to their consciences and principles
to destroy the independence of the peoples
representatives, and to stife the voice of
free debate This is a fact which indicates
unmistakably the tendency of our system to
central2e power in the hands of a corrupt
and weak Chief Magistrate, and it is full of
fearful omen.

.'.H DpHS.

The County Papers Of Ohio are in the
midst Of a storm, and it remains to be seen
how many Of them will weather through h.
The Ottowa Democratand other papers have
been compelled tn discontinue their pubica-
ton owing to the advance in the cost of pa
per, type, ink and labor. The profit Of a
County paper in ordinary times is far from
lucrative, and now since we are in state of
war, with high taxation and higher wages,
they have to struggle hard for an existence
The. dailies of the great cities overshadow
everything in the shape of weeklies, and
with their immense prices for advertising
they can afford to. Yet the County Papers
should be sustained by the citizens of the
county in which they are published. They
are the organs of local public sentiment, the
chroniclers Of local events, the trumpters of
local greatcness; in their columns is found
the history of the community in which they
are published They should receive their
support from home because they are printed

VIcE-PREsIDENT Stephens bas written
letter to Senator Semmes, of Louisiana, in
which he declares that Convention of
States is not favoritc idea with him as a
mode Of instituting negotiations, but reiter-
ates his belief that it is better than no mode
at all. He expresses the belief that if fa-
vorable response from Mr.. Davis had been
given to the Chicago resolution, looking to a
Convention Of all the States, it would have
secured McCellan's election; and that no
proposition of peace need be expected from
the Lincoln Government. He declares the
old Union and Constitution dead forever,
and all hopes of restoration vain and illu-
sive.

Disaster at Cabin Creek.
LARGE TRAIN CAPTURED.
Loss-sl ,5ee, 900.

A large train that started from Fl. Scott
about the middle of September for the Army
of the Frontier was bounced upon at Cabin
Greek about 100 miles below FIT. Scott by about
two thousand rebels, and captured. The train
consisted Of about 200 government wagons
1900 mules, about 100 sutier wagons and pri-
vate frIghteIs fifty cavalry horses all under an
escort Of about three hundred men. The train
was loaded with supplies for the army and for
which they are much in need. 1t happened
about daylight and seems to have been a sur
prise. The train is total loss. Many of the
escort and teamsters were killed. The loss is
tremendous and is the most severe blow to the
Stragglers and refugees from the train have
been arriving for several days along the border
towns. 1t is thought that the rebels are NOV
ing into Kansas and preparations are being
made to meet them.

Captain Sidney Clarke the Republican nom.

And he is working man. In politics he has
always been anti-slavery. He published and
edited q paper years ago in Massachusetts,
wherein he advocated freedom principles. In
kanGas he has labcred untiringly for the Re-
publican party and his works have produced
good results. His talents are of a high order,
and their being so well directed, and SO prop
erly exercised by his judgment, energy and
indonitabe will, he promises to be one Of the
most valuable men in the Nation. Never can
you shake Sid Clarke from a purpose that he
has resolved to execute. He is unfinching-
He is not weakened. He never craw-fshes.
In Congress he will stand by and cooperate
with the Freedom party, and sustain the Presi-

nothing criuging about Sid Clarke. He is 60

called Lee brute, treachcrous, licentious. un-
principled, SC. SC. Now, that Carney's faction,
to which the Sentinel belongs, has nominated

S. o. Thatcher for Governor and is silent abou,
the remainder of the ticket. At the head of
his editorial columns is card, in which he
