A DiShOnOrabIe Pence.

The adherents Of the widow maker talk
about Democrats wanting dishonorablc
Peace.
The Democracy have declared themselves
for Peace based upon restoration of the
Union, with every star upon our flag and
state for every star-for Peace that will
give every state its constitutional rights and
unite i'll one brotherhood the people of all
the States
Why is this a dishonorable proposition :?
If the disciples of shoddy will answer at all,
they will say, because it does not abolish
slavery.
Is it dishonorable to have the Union as
our patriot fathers made it?
Is it dishonorable to adhere to the old
constitution Of 1877
Is it dishonorable to have the North anC
the South dwell together in harmony, ami
mated by o common interest for nationa
greatness
Yes, say the disciples of the rail-spitter
unless slavery is abolished
Yes, says Lincoln in his letter to whom
it may concern.
Yes, say William Lloyd Garrison, Fred
Douglass and Abby Kelly.
Yes, say the whte-livered gentry who arr
robbing the government and growing ricl
upon the Affections of the people.
Yes, say those who went into fits over tn,
hanging of old John Brown, the first rebel
Yes, say Lincoln's hundred thousan,
heartlcss officials
Yes, say all who are willing to kill whit
men to free niggers.

Lincoln and the MaryIanders.
The widow maker, in his little speech at
Wa Shinrtnn last week said

Inc willow ulaher, Ill LIS llttlc spcecll III
Wa shington last week said
~ am notified that this is a compliment to me
by Mary ylandcrs present in this district infer
that the adoption of the constitution for the
view, the eXtirpation of slavery constitutes the
cheit merit of the constitution. Most heartily
do congratulate you and Maryland and the
nation and the world, upon the event. | regret
that it did not occur two years sooner, which
| am sure would have saved to the nation more
money than would have met all private loss In
cdcntal to the measure
| From this it would seem that Mr.. Lincoln
is under the impression that there has been
an election in Maryland. Gen. Wallace
suppressed the only Democratic newspaper
in the state, without prctence even that 1t
had afforded a reason for suppression, and
the president would not admit to a confer
cnce with its proprietors when they visited
Washington to lay the case before him. a
few days since the Baltimore correspondent
of the New York Tribune thus foreshad-
owed the determination Of the president to
control the election by intimidation and
! fraud
"In conversation with one of the most earnest
Presidency. He replied, There will be no per-
son run against Mr. Lincoln in in this city or or
are all known, and not one will dare to vote. "
Bearing in mind that it is the fashion of
abolitionists to term their political oppo-
nents rebels, and that those who voted
against the constitution were regarded as
voting against Mr. Lincoln, we may Judge
from this testimony by the Tribune, and the
arbitrary suppression ofthe Baltimore Post,
what kind of an election they had in Mary
land. How admirably did the action Of
Wallace, in its suppression, indicate the
means employed to fulfill the prophecy Of
the Tribune? What exalted virtue was il
in Mr.. Lincoln, after carrying an election by
such means, to congratulate the people OF
Maryland and the world on the result p

I.inCOIn's Policy.

Lincoln's policy is taxation, bloodshed
and conscription of white men to effect ne.
gro emancipation The enslavement of
whites has thus far resulted in nothing but
suffering to the negro. 1t has given him
over to worse bondage than he ever knew,
and made him and his children public pau
pers. 1t is Il fact beyond question that the
sufferings inflicted upon the 10000 eman'
cipatcd negroes, since this war began, sur.
pass in extent the entire suffering of the
great mass of Southern negroes who have
remained with their masters in their South
ern homes.

Indiana Election.

The total vote in indianapolis in 1860 was
., l64; in 1869 it was 5,i9S. This year it is
9, 3j7. The gain from i62 to Ga is about
3,s5O--yet the Shoddyites exult over this
as the legitimate expression of the ballot
box, 1t is not very hard to carry elections
by this process, Do the Abolitionists sup
pose they can force lincoln upon the coun-
try four years more by such rascality? II
they do, they will find themselves sadly in
error
Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1864-10-27

The Abolition party have resolved to dis
member the Union permanently, build up
an illimtable public debt, establish, by vir-
tue oft, military despotism over the ad-
herring States, erect Government church
which shall persecute all other denomina-
tionS tho Catholic especially, and 80 per-
petuats themselves in office over the pros.
trate liberties Of the people. Freemen OF
America, are you ready 70 meet the issue

The women Even to he Drafted

Tho Columbus Joundl, the Official organ
of the LINCOLN party in this State, thus
foreshadows the LINCOLN policy. 1t says;
1--WE go further-if 1t is necessary, wa 20 for n
universal conscription, without respect to age
or sex, il II would be the means of giving
strength and efficiency to our armies in the field
hut, in all these things let the people know au'
thoritively what is expected of them"
This is fair specimen of the crazines'
that prevails, and is an index to the sort ol
government we may expect for the next foul
years, if Lincoln is reelected

Another Draft Coming.

II is stated that the Provost Marshal
General has sent word TO his deputies TO
hurry up in filing the quotas of their sever
al districts so as to be ready for the next
draft, which, it is supposed, will take place
IN December or January, that the men may
be ready for the Spring campaign.

Cause ami Effect.

Elect Lincoln and as certain as the sun
shines, wo will have more drafts, more taxes
and more war. Let all 'To whom it may
concern" take notice. We should not COM
plain if all these burdens were necessary to
restore the Union, but we do complain that
such sacrifices are demanded to make the
negro equal to the white man, socially and
politically.

GetteySbllrg,

At the battle Of Getteysburg, when the
Federal forces were about to give way and
victory was just to pc rch upon the rebc
standard, the cry was passed along the lines
that Mcclellan was in command Instant
ly the Union forces were inspired with new
life, new strength and new courage, and
from that moment the tide of battle was
turned 1t was this that gained the victo,
~ and saved Pennsylvania.

What Lincoln told a Sister OF
BeeCher.

The 81. Paul Pioneer of Oct. 10, says
"We know that Abraham Lincoln told Miss
Catharine Beecher, sister of Henry Ward
Beecher,' that he''shouM nerer cease TO re-
gret the day he failed to reinforce Mcclellan
on the Peaias,.ld," and we dare Abraham
Lincoln to deny it.

From the Plain Dcaler.l
The Maryland Election.

We gave last week by telegraph the speech
of Mr.. Lincoln in reply to the serenadcr,
who waited upon him, with the lying intel
ligence that the counterfeit Constitution
which he and his abcttors have attempted
to fasten upon Maryland had been adopted.
Abe Lincoln knows that the Constitution
was rejected. BY the existing Constitution
Of that State votes can only be received at
the place Of residence of the voter. p

The soldiers vote heard from gives 1859

GAO against the fraud, with only one regi-
ment to hear from: The Washington COR
respondent of the n. Y. Herald says:
at is stated that Governor Bradford of Mary
land has decided to throw out the soldiers vote
on the new Cons stituton in Maryland, upon the
ground that soldiers were not authorized to vote
under the existing state law, and that the Con-
Stitutional Convention had no right to extend
the suffrage beyond the limits prescribed by the
present law II this be SO; and the action OF the
Governor be sustained by the Courts, the new
Constitution is defeated, and legal emancipation

OPINION OF A MARYLAND SESAroR.-ln
report OF Hon. Reverdy Johnson's speech in
the Senate, recently, upon the question OF
exchange of prisoners, the following interest
ing paragraph occurs:
He, johnson, had never doubted that the
employment of the slave In the military service
of the country tpso fdeio emancipated him IL
would be dsgraceful II, after the employment
OF colored men to defend its existence, this gov
eminent should permit them to return to sla-
very. lie thanked God they never could be re-
enslaved. II gave hun pleasure to remember
that when he formerly had-thc honor Of occu-
plying seat on thus Hoor, In 1877, he declared,
in debate upon the subject Of slavery, that Ii
was wrong as a system, morally and politically,
aud especially economically, slavery was indie
feasible. The people OF this country were rap
idly becoming wiser on this subject.
