election, must vote afirmatively upon the

Tickets will be printed, I presume, with
this affirmative vote upon them, and tear

IL was duly announced to the people of
this community by flaming posters that
on Thursday night of last week the de
mon Of ofRadicalism" would be met BY GER
tain appointed champions Of the Peace
Democracy Of this county, and fought,
subdued, and forever annihilated from
this mundane sphere. But when the
time arrived for this tragic political
drama the rain fell in torrents and the
valorous Vallandighammers stood aghast-
TD fact they were not afraid Of Radical
ism but they never could stand cold wa
ter. Consequently Radicalism was per-
mitted to live another twenty four hours.
But on Friday night the rain having Civ
en- way to stronger elements, the omens
were more favorable for Democracy, and
It's champions entered the lists, high
strung and confident as knight St. George
when he fought the dragon. First Col.
Reid met the monster and after three
hours battle, compelled him to die an un-
willing death by sheer exhaustion. E.

peace. and also a physician, then very ap-
propriately followed in a professional dis
course over the harmless corpse This
clinical haraugue was of course interlar-
ded with many highly instructive obser-
vations of a therapeutieal and surgical
nature, the gist Of which was that the
su bject was entirely defunet and harmless
to both che rebel aud eopperhead. After
which the pow-wow adjourned.

speeches whether he is opposed to or in
favor of the unconditional admission of
the rebels to their full rights in. the Uni

sometimes the other, apparently for the
purpose of adapting himself to the quail
ity Of his auditors, But the platform
adopted by the Democratic State Con

reads sal aoi5
Resolved, that one great question Of

Col. Reid says he is opposed to the
Constitutional Amendment, and he there
fore denies to the freedmen protection of
person or property, as the first section of
that measure designs to confer. And
Col Reid sfellow Democrats in the South
have passed laws declaring that all these
same freedmen who do not support them
selves shall be imprisoned and otherwise
punished as yagrants- But how, in the
name Of common sense, can men support
themselves when they have no protection
for their persons or property? Here
then, we have Col. Reid and the rest Of
the Northern Democrats making the
freedmen vAgrants, and his Democratic
in the South furnishing them
for being vagrants What use to abol-
ish slavery if the Democratic party is al
lowed to carry out such a devil-inspired
scheme as that ? And what an outrage

men should stand up in the face of all the
world and say they are in favor of deny

There is no doubt whatever but that
arms are being secretly collected in the
Southern States, and the resources of
war carefully husbanded. 1t has been
reported by reliable persons travelling in
the South that there are already arms
enough collected at a few convenient
points to equip 100000 men. In some
places it is openly boasted that the war is
not over, and it is made no secret that the
secessionists are keeping comparatively
quiet, hoping to regain political power,
when they will make new strike for in
Indeed it is only necessary
to take up almost any Southern paper to
see that the spirit of secession is as in
solent, treacherous and maleVolent as at
any time during the war.

its utmost capacity with a very intelligent
audience of the voters Of Delaware and
vicinity Owing to the almost impossible
condition Of the roads and the favorable
weather for neglected farming operations
the attendance from the county was not
as large as it would have otherwise been.
The best of good feeling and enthusiasm
prevailed among the audience. Gen. J. @.

made foreiable; eloquent, impressive and

Copperheadism were scathingIy rebuked,
and the principles of the great Union

With reference to the prospect, polit-
ically, in New York, the Post Of Saturday
evening says
At the time we are writing there exists
hardly doubt of Gov. FentOn's re-elec-
tion. In every precinct of the State this
conviction is expressed without qualifiea-
ton. Letters from well known citizens
make such assurances as these: The St.
Lawrence Congressional District promises
5000 majority; the Cattaraugus District
promises to exceed that, but that Is
doubtful; the Steuben District promises
over {. 600; the Tioga and Tompkins Dis
trict, 1000; the Cs yuga District the same
or more; the Onondaga District, 5000
more; the Oneida District 500 better than
ever before, while the Democratic coun-
ties will hardly rise above the Slocum
majorities of last year.
