THE COUNTY CLERKSHIP AND

For County Clerk there arc now runningtwo
active Democratic anddates-Henry W. Genet,
the present incumbent Of the office, holding the
regular Tammany nomination.; and VIM. Z.
Conner, at present Supervisor, who has the
nomination of all the "outsdc" Democratic or
carnations These two candidates are about
evenly balanced; so that, with proper effort,
we can elect the Union nominee, Mr.. James NJ
Thomson to this Office beyond any shadow OF
peradventure. Mr. Thomson is gentleman OF
stainless character who enjoys wide popularity,
and deseryes--as we hope he will receiye-the
votes of all good citizens. II would be no small
triumph in mere party point OF view. to elect
one OF our County candidates; and indeed there
is no good reason why the Shrieyalty
should not also be carried by our excellent nom

ton for the place. Let every Union ballot be
cast for Messrs. Farmer and Thomson, and the
result will not be doubtful. Let there be no
scratching" or eyasiOns of plain duty. MIR.
Farmer will receive the full and earnest support
of that wing of the party with which Mr..
Thomson is regarded as more especially allied;
and Mr.. Thomson should certainly not be
treated with less justice or generosity by the
gentlemen who regard Mr.. Farmer as their
nominee. Never was finer chance presented
to secure two decided and important victories
to the Union cause in Oh: local contest. Let it
not be thrown away.

THE FORGED VOTES.

We are informed that Oswego County is
flooded with spurious Mcclellan votes OF every
description. There are forged votes from living
soldiers as we'll as from dead; fictitious votes
from soldiers whose genuine votes and powers
of attorney are in the hands Of their friends;
"yotes with aaidavits, with forged names, tcti-
tious signatures of fictitious officers, and votes
purporting TO come from persons who have no
existence. These packages have been seen and
examined, and they correspond perfectly mih the
,rorE described IN the recent Baltimore tnrsstt-
CATION"

ably of many other counties; perhaps Of all.

A leading Rochester Democrat went to the H.

he had in his possession one hundred and fifty

make up that deficiency by chucking i'll the

Board of Inspectors, half honest and alfknayish

THE WAR DEMOCRATS THE FU
TVRE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The recent great meeting of the War Demo-
Gratis ut the Cooper Institute, and the resettng
bv them of the ancient landmarks of their party
was an august and propitious event. 10
break out from the furious drift of passion and
folly which is hurTying the old Democracy to
destruction, and to seek hight where to set
anew the stakes Of party that shall labor for
freedom to all, and equal justice and consecrate
itself to the glory and power Of the nation, was
grand puritanism of politics. We shall not
have to wait decade for the good fruits of the
movement. They are with us this day in part.
For the rank and file of the Democracy now
being hurried TO the November battle against
the Union, took note Of the separation from
them of such tme-honored and influential lead
ers as Francis b. Cutting, Moses Taylor, Ed
wards Pierrepont, John A. Dix, Gen. SickleS,
Henry G.. Stebbins, Alexander Hamilton, ir.,
Alexander r. Stewart Theodore Roosevelt,
Gu'tavus A. Conoyer, James X. Whiting,
John A. Stewart, Michael Ulshoefier, VIM. II.
webb, Peter Cooper, Geo h. Butler, Henry
Nicoll. d. s. Coddington, Robert j. Roosevelt,
Aaron yandcrpool, James Wadsworth, Alfred
A. Valentine, and Henry T. ingalls,.
They well knew that these were the New
York legatees of the old Jacksonian Democ-
racy-legatees in trust for the party at large,
and for the world They knew that in the con-
fusion and displacement which the too long per-
mitted alliance of the party with Slavery had
induced, tho men authorized TO lead by the
catholic broadness of their natures. by their
dsinterestedness their honesty and their devo-
ton. had been thrust aside, and the command
Of the Democracy had fallen into the hands OF
Adventures in the stock market, and new men,
characterless agents and tools Of the Richmond
Rebels. The coming out from the party SO led
and managed of the solid, trusted men, who
made the war meeting at the Cooper Institute,
was an example that has been initiated daily
and hourly since. 1t was reputation OF the
Democracy that serves S.ayey-that opposes a
war in which the country is engaged-that
would consent to a dsunion-that would reverse
and set to flowing backward the whole current
Of civilization. Hundreds and thousands in this
State of New-York will quietly receive the
impression of this reputation, and on the Sth
of November, either by remaining at home
without voting, or by casting their ballots
boldly for Mr. Lincoln will muster themselves
out OF a service that has become offensive to
gentlemen and impossible to men of honor No
harder blow has been stricken the Mcclellan
Democracy than tina, it received from the War
Democrats last Tuesday night. The true Dem
ocra,ic Party of the United States was organ
lied then and there.

LOOK OUT FOR TWENTY OF
THEM.

The Soldiers Voting Law requires that II the
names of the soldiers are not found on the regis
tiers when their ballots are offered, "a house,
holder of the district must swear that he knows
the person whose vote is offered is resident of
the district, before their votes can be TAKEN" In
the Ninth Election District in the Nineteenth
Ward, on Wednesday last, the names OF twenty
soldiers presented for registry were accepted al
though there was no proof offered that they re-
sided in the district. Protest was made against
their being registered. 1t was unavailing.
Their names were put on the lists, and some-
body will try to simulate them next Tuesday,
and vote for them for "ths obligng young man

The German Union mass meeting which was
held last night at Cooper Institute, was in every
respect brilliant success. We doubt whether
in point Of attendance, of responsibility, of en-
thusasm, i has ever been exceeded by any
German meeting held IN this country The
two speakers who addressed the meeting, Gen.
Carl Schurz and Dr. Schultz, are men esteemed
As gifted leaders of the Progressive Party, both
here and in Germany. 1t is remarkable and
an undeniable fact, that the German Democrats
have not single speaker who enjoys the conf
dence and tie sympathy Of the Progressive
Party Of Germany. The Liberals of Germany
sympathize with the Union Party, while all the
organs OF the despotic German Governments
are the ardent admirers Of the Rebels and of
the Chicago Platform.

TIE "THIRTY DAXso QUALIFI-
CATION.

IL is not necessary that q voter, otherwise
qualified, should have been resident Of par
ticular district for thirty days next preceding
the election, except for the purpose of enabling
him to vote for officers to be chosen from such
district. He may vote for the Presidential,
State and County tickets, notwithstanding he
has moved from one district to another within
the same county. That this is the true con-
struction of the law, appears not only from the
Constitution, but from the language of the
general OATH" administered in case OF a chal-
lenge, as follows that you have been for
thirty days next preceding this election resident
Of this assembly district (or senate, or congress
sional district or districts ward, town, village,
or city, as the case may be; naming any or all
of the foregoing districts, nard, torn, riioge, or
city, from tchieh said person oftrs to rote)."
Maniiestly, if the person challenged does not
offer to vote for any officer to be chosen from
the election district solely, the thirty days
part of the oath is to be- omitted.
This is very plain matter and for the most
part is understood by inspectors, but we have
heard of one or two who decided the question
wrongly, and We elucidate il for their benefit.

The registry in this city is known to be enor-
nous. That it is largely fraudulent is more
than suspected. That it can be prOred to be
erroneous, let this example show.
The First District of the With Ward has been
Vigorously canyassed since the registry was
completed. Every house in that district has
been visited, and the name Of every legal voter
taken down. All the places of business have
been gone through. On the LIST which is before
us is the name OF every person in that district
who is or who claims 10 be legal voter. There
are just 81 of them, and on the registry List
there are in this same district 1O1. An excess
of A in one district. The registry, that is,
contains almost twice as many names as there
are legal voters

been done in many other districts Is it no
