Besides large, costly and expensive ma
val force, 4. Lincoln has had, or has at his
disposal over Two Millions of men for the
land service, aud about Two Thousand Mil
lions Of money To this last item there
should be added the immense sums paid by
the several States and by municipal corpo-
rations, in bounties, in the outfit of rcgi-
ments, for sanitary purposes, and for sup
porting the families Of soldiers absent on
duty. This would increase the grand total
several hundred millions more, And it
woud'swell to still greater and more in
comprehensive amount, il it were to i'll
cludc the losses occasioned by the shock
given to business in the first years Of the
war, the injury done to our commerce by
rebel priyatcers, and the wealth that would
hayo been created by the young, healthy,
ami stalwart men employed as soldiers,
many Of whose corpses moulder beneath the
soil OF hundred battle-felds, and hundred
! of thousands Of whom have persisted il
military hospitals, while hundred and
twenty-four thousands widows are appli-
cants for pensions.
Such is the appalling account which a
Lincoln has incurred with the American
people. The money, the men and means
have been furnished, and sacrifices made
with such lavish and even extravagant pro
fusion, that the Union might be saved ant
the States kept in it which the rebel lead
ers sought to take out Of it. But instead
Of: this result being attained the people ar
told by 4. Lincoln $ mouth pieces that tn
Union is dead beyond the hope of restora
ton, and that it is not the intention of hi
Administration to restore it. He himsel
is acting upon the ground that the unio
which the rcbe! leaders sought to divide
cannot be preserved. Accordingly he ha
gone to work through his military .subor
dinatas to break up States by nullifyin
and ahrogatng their Constitutions, an
taking from the people their constitutions
rights and liberties, without which thcr
can be no Union. Such is the account A
Lincoln is rendering to the people of hi

a LiucOIu's Account.

Before the people of the United States
consent to employ A. Lincoln to manage
their affairs for another four years, it would
perhaps be well to look at tho state Of hi,
account with them, and see what funds and
means have already been entrusted to him,
and what service he has rendered and what
results he has brought about in return
This account is in many respects at present
indefinite and difficult to state with precis-
ion; but there are some fixed items easily
asccrtained, as they are matters Of public
record. Let the people examine these.

EVERY man who can read knows that
Lincoln and his supporters are committed
to the policy of preventing a restoration
Of the Union, unless coupled with the
abandonment of slavery" If the South
offers to return, they will not be allowed
to do so,while Lincoln is President, unless
slavery is destroyed. Lincoln cares moth
ing for the Cnion--nothing for the peace,
happiness and blcod Of white mrn--hiS
sole object is to destroy slavery. So all
this waste of blood and treasure must 70
on so long aS Lincoln has power to cont; ol
the men and resources Of the country Ia
the interest of Ab0liii0nism. Reflect up
on LincOln's policy, fellow citizens; read
his letter ITO whom it may concern" in
which he declares that no proposition for
peace will be receive j that does not in
clude "the abandonment Of slavery; and
then if you prefer the freedom of the ne.
gro to the restoration of the Union and
the happiness of the white race, vote for
Lincoln the negro champion.

their power to carry this election. We
certainly have the men to do it if they
can be brought to the polls, and We urge
upon our friends everywhere to turn out.
AholitiOnism is not quite so fashionable

too corrupt. too fanatical. We have spent
upon it countless lives. and, according to

to fight for the Union If it cannot be re

for barbarous Abolition crusade. That

PLAIN FACTS. If the Democrats were
in power to day they would stop the was
and restore the Union in three months
and every one who would be glad to see
such a result should vote the Democratic
ticket. That the party in power is total
ly incapable of conducting the war or
making peace. has bern abundantly de,
monstrated. and to continue the imhecilrs
in power, after such long and deplorable
trial, would be criminal. Lincoln is a
buffoon, Seward bloat, Stanton brag.
gart. and Welles n dotard. From such
rulers We have nothing to expect but dis
aSter and disgrace. Rally. fellow. citizens

anything to elect their ticket. They have
everything in their own hands, and will
resort to any means to succeed. The only
ticket for Democrats to vote is at the head
Of our columns. Before voting examine
your ticket carefully and see that it con
tains every name in the ticket at the head

but ITO abolish slavery in every one Of

that, with the Democratic programme, he
can "reStore tine Union Of the States, and
present our flag and our country once
more in the face Of all the world, with a
star for every State, and n State for every
