SO1rlC Oh the UcfBmOn ANSSs
|, The Hjghload B6te, following in the steps
of the Cincinnati Polksffeund, has taken
downtb names, of Fremont and Cochrane,
and substituted those of Mcclellan and
| peudleton. Itsays in explanation: q
When the campaign opened, We repeat
edly declared it the duty of every patriot 70
oppose the present Administration by all
the means 1t our command, and remove 1t
from power. Every day has confirmed this
our resolution. We therefore welcomed
gladly the formation Of an opposition party,
With General. j. @. Fremont as its leader
man who has been disgrscefully persecu-
ted. BY the Lincoln Administration, because
he refused to assist in the systematic .sup>
preston of the liberties of the people. But
since the leaders of the Fremont party-the
so called friends sof the General-have
made his election impossible, and moreover
have deserted him in point of fact, by joins
inc in the call for the Cincinnati Conven-
ton. which is nothing but comedy gotten
nm nv Lincoln officials to cheat the friends
of Fremont-we hoist the MINES of Me-
Clellan and Pendleton at the head of our
columns.
We believe that Mcclellan is the only
man who can beat Lincoln, and hence We
support him with our limited means. 10
General Fremont, however, the Democratic
narty owes eternal gratitude, because in
the darkest hours of the last years he arose
SOLITARY and alone, in his party in favor OF
freedom of speech and free press.
The Anz eiqer has the following article:
Lincoln and the ruling party will never
restore the Union, and we consider 1T
even doubtful whether they desire to do it.
They may be able to exterminate the
Southern people, to change the county
into desert, and erect new negro EN-
pire on the graves of the Southern people,
hut thew can never restore Union aeserv'
ing this name and resting on the happiness
and affection of the people.
The history of the past three years and
q half furnishes the proof All the veto.
ries of our armies and feet have remained
lfruitless in the hands Of the Lincoln party
We have taken possession Of cities, rivers,
fortresses, whole States; nay, more than
the half of the Southern territory has been
reconquered by us, but We have attained
nothing thereby but anarchy, demoraliza
ton, corruption, Provost Marshal rule and
bayonet despotism. The people, however,
(which we wanted to reconquer for Union
of Republican States, with equal rights
this reople of the Southern States We have
not reconouered and will not reconquer
unles the system of thu last three years
and half is changed. Does any one be-
lieve that any success of our arms will in
, duce the Southern people to surrender tc
| Lincoln and the ruling party, and let the
revenge of that fanatical party take its
, course? Whosoever is given up to such
an illusion should cast his eyes upon the
immense sacrifices which the Southern
} people have made, to their heroic resist
ance, and infexible determination, which
never wavered even under the most dis
heartening circumstances, and which made
new exertions possible, when they seemed
to be at the end of their resources.
Firmly as We are convinced that the
Union can and will be restored, we are al
so convinced that Lincoln'sre election must
result in many years more war. 1t may eft
feet the determination of the Southern
people, it can never regain them.
Incapable in conducting the war, the
Lincoln Administration has been still more
incapable in it's political measures. Mea
, sures of extermination aud confscatiol
may throw bleeding Poland at the feet OF
the tyrant, but in federation of republics
embracing half a continent, they can only
result in moral, political and material ruin
This path the Lincoln Administration has
struck out for us; we cannot continue in. il
two, much less four years longer We have
paid dear enough for the crazy attempt tc
change war for the Union into wal
against a serVile system of labor. 1t is time
toreturn. ..at
| Tie last hope for the restoration of the
Union consists in the uniting of the North
for this restoration. This uniting is only
possible if the war is conducted for consti-
tutionsl purposes. The victory of the
Democratic party at the next election is
the only means to effect Peace and Union
which We can see. The continuation OF
the present rule of fanatics can, at the very
best, bring us nothing but that terrible con
dition of things which we witness now in
the so~called reorganized States, or in Po-
land, and with it the ruin of the country.
The late victory in the Shenandoah val
ley was won almost entirely by the caval-
