HARPER. CLAIMS or Brigadier General Delano 05 S0LDEBB3 ASTX CITIZESTS. The people are indebted to General Delano, because in the last Legislature he succeeded in getting a law passed, requiring every citizen TO PAT A TAX OF FOUR DOLLARS, who did not join the NationalGuards, The National Guards are under obli gations to BROUGHT and DELANO for having caused them to be sent into the field in violation of the law under which they were organized. Our brave soldiers should, remember Delano, for urging them.to go into the field, while he declared that he would pay FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS rather than allow III S SON JOHN to become a soldier.. And , this, too, while said John is a hale and vigorous young man, wha can do a big day's work in the harvest field. And soldiers will not forget that BRIGADIER GENERAL DELANO voted against sending our Soldiers supplies of food and clothing, or nourishment or medicines to the hospitals, while they were fighting under our flag two thousand miles from' home. Let citizens and soldiers think of these things before they vote. Money in the Elections. The Administration and its adherents are using greenbacks (of which the; are the sole manufacturers) in unlimited amounts, for the purpose of continuing themselves in power - The Federal Treasury, ard all the department) BahktVnCdrrjorations, and all the other mo-nied influences, are against the free and un-trammeled exercise by the people of their rights and judgments at the ballot-box. Citfi zens, beware of this public corruption, which now exists ta an extent never equalled in any other age.or country, and-, repudiate the false public servant who squander the funds ofthe people in order to control their votes, and retain their own own hold on power and the pa blic purse. Signals or Distress! The ft-Union League are holding meetings almost nightly, and are issuing appeals to the members to turn out and work for the sinking cause of Lincoln. Some of the old members utterly refuse to attend these meetings, and avow their determination to vote for General McClellan, the Union Democrat, in preference to Abraham Lincoln, the disunion Abolitionist. Committee? have been appointed to watch and wait upon the sick that is, those who are sick of AbolitionUm, and who wish "to see the Union restored and peace established, which will be the certain result of McClellan 'a election and Lincoln's defeat. The Difference with Delano I Some people object to- Delano because he was not in' favor of making war udoa Mexico. That war was begun clearly to extend and strengthen Bbxvery. The difference is this. Delano baa been a consistent opponent of slavery, while - bis enemies have been its friends. Ml. Ternon Hemtbhean. Sent ember 27, 1864. . . Now, if we were to admit that the Mexican war was to extend and strengthen slavery," which is false, as California, New Mexico and other territorial acquisitions by that war prove, the naked fact would stand oat that the only motive Delano has to guide him in opposing or advocating a' war is ita object touching negro slavery.

Tne Soldiers for General UeClellaou ; Oar young townsman Mr. John Oeorge,. has placed in bar posaession ft letter" which he re- eently received from bis mend Mr: J. II. P. Martin, Co. A. 96th Ohio, now eUtioned at Morganza Bend, Louisiana. Mr. M. writes quite an interesting letter in regard to matters and things in general. We make the following extract, which shows the feeling in the army in relation to tbe Presidency. There is no doubt in tbe world in regard to the popularity of Little Mac with the soldiers ; and that he will receive a Large majority of their votes, is now reduced to the certainty of a fixed fact. Mr. Martin says : : : : "Last sight I visited the 104th Ohio, and learned to my great surprise and satisfaction that two-thirds of the entire Begiment were bound, bent and determined on casting their votes for General Oeorge B. McClellan. A reaction is taking place all through tbe whole arriry. The boys now see the condition that the d d negro-loving Abolitionists have got our once happy, prosperous and united country in, and they axe fearful of its result. Too well they know that if four years of Abolition. rule could thus ruin our country, four years more would send it so far on the other side of limbo,' that we would never again hear of Peace, Union, Liberty and Freedom Gi ve us our Union as it was, and our Constitution as it is, that is all we want and ask for,; They called us out merely to fight for the Union. What do art care for a lot of d d lazy ne groeswhat becomes of- them Of where they are? When Old Abe called us out he as sured us we were to fight , for the Union, and said he had no right to interfere with' slavery, and if he had the right, he had no will to do it. Now please tell me what this two-faced individual means ? If he i an honest man, then I must le a wretch , of a rogue. That's what's the matter!" Delano Ahusing Oen. KcClellan. The burden of Delano's harangues throughout the district is low-flung abuse of General McClellan charging him with being a "coward," &c. De'ano is a pretty man to impute Lfipwardice to any person, when be himself sus tains the reputation to being one of the most lily livered blusterers that walks the earth. ; If General McClellan is a "coward," a6 this brave man Delano asserts, whv was he twice called by Lincoln to take command of the Federal forces around Washington, when the National Capitol was seriously threatened by rebel invaders, when Lincoln and the gang of Abolition fanatics and traitors that surround ed hm, were trembling in their boots with Delano talk about "cowards" ! Delano ! who took sides with the Mexicans, against his own country; who was one of the Abolition conspirators that met in Cleveland to resist the execution of the laws ; who, instead of serving his country in the ranks, as a brave man would, employed his military talents in buying pork and beans ; who, when his son was dratted, in stead of letting him go to war like the sons of poor men, paid $500 for a substitute, and declared that he would pay $5000 before hit should go into this war. This Is a nice man truly to accuse Gen. McClellan with 'coward-ice 1 " ; Delano U one of the grandest humbug of this age of humbugs, cheats and charletans. POLITICAL. The Crisis, Governor tfedary paper, hoi the McClellan ticket. This 'hVals the h ets ast division in the Democratic party in Ohio. A perefect panic prevails among the merchants of the conntry. A majority of them helped to eiect Lincoln, and have sustained him. This is what they get for their pains. Two members of the republican state, central committee of Pennsylvania have come out for McClellan. ' The drafted men at Indianapolis parade.1 tbe streets on Monday night, and made, at- tacke upon the houses of prominent republicans. There are apprehensions of further trouble in the same direction. Lincoln having compelled the people to put a stamp on everything, they have concluded to put a stamp on him in November. John W. Forney was heard to say: 'We maj print as many greenbacks as we please, Pennsylvania will not go for Lincoln. A Republican who has traveled extensively through Pennsylvania, gives it up that the Keystone States will go for McClellan, and so informs the Pdrvidence Post. Paymaster General Van Buren was "the principal speaker at. the McClellan meeting in Albany.: On they come. ... . .. . Henry Winter Davis has - written a letter to a, frtehdr iii Sf.

Chase, OoT.l Densison, Columbus Delano, and theAbolitton Party Resolutions of Secession. On the 25th of May, 1859, (says the Statesman) a contention of the Sons of Liberty was held in Cleveland for the arowed rmrpcwo of setting at defiance the authority , tf the Federal Government, declaring the State of Ohio out- side of Federal jurisdiction, and looking to the ultimate wtihdrawal of the State of Ohio from the Federal Union. That this was a powerful and influen tial convention is attested by the fact that the Governor ofthe State attend ed and addressed it in favor of this avowed object. One United States Senator from Ohio was upon the com mittee' and drew up the resolutions; one member of Congress presided and sev eral others were in attendance. The proceedings of this convention were published in The Ohio State Journal of May 26, 1859, and indorsed editorially, as they were by every Republi can paperjn Ohio. Y .

" Mr. Wade, from the committee on Resolutions reported the following, among other equally violent and treasonable resolutions, which were unanimously adopted and approved of by the convention: Resolved, That the several States comprising the United States of America are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General Government, but that, by compact, under the style and title of a Constitution tor the United States, and of amendments thereto, they constituted a General Government for certain definite powers, reserving, each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own self-government; and that whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void and of no force, and being void, can derive no validity from mere judicial. interpretation; that to this compact each State acceded as a State, and is an integral party; that this Government, created bv this comnact. was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of-the powers delegated to itself, since . that would have made its discretion and not the Constitution the measure, of its jowet; but that, aa in all other cases of compact among parties having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress.

Kentucky. He transported a number of families from Kentucky to Canada under a negro guard, and all the.Abolitlon prints rejoiced, andpufFed him as a vigorous General and good officer the ne plus ultra bf heroes and patriot. When he took command in Kentucky, a correspondent of The Cincinnati Gazette, whose name will doubtless be found now among those possessing plenty of greenbacks, announced that the secesh and sympathizers of Western Kentucky would be compelled to dry up, and added several mysterious hints which are now fully explained.- The following is a record of infamy which should tinge every American's cheek with shame. We copy from The Louisville Journal of Tuesday the 27th September: Sometime ago Col. Craddock, of the Kentucky service, was called by business into the District of Western Kentucky, then commanded by Brig. Gen. E. A. Paine. The Colonel found the people completely cowed, not daring to utter a word, when every day their most sacred rights, by military force, were flagrantly violated. By close observation he became convinced that Gen. Paine and his subordinates were exercising the iron . rule of despots, were persecuting and robbing the people under various flimsy pretexts, and that the worst corruption prevailed in his office and characterized all his official vets. Being convinced of these facts, he sought Maj. Gen. Burbridge, at his headquarters in Lexington, and fully stated the case to him. The General was loth to believe that crimes so enormous as represented by Col. Craddock could be openly practiced by a man clothed with authority and honor of an officer of the United States Government; but, on the solemn assurance of the truth of the statement, he concluded to appoint a commission to investigate the case. On the 9th of September an order was made detailing Gen. S. S. Fry and Col. Brown as a commission to pro ceed to Paducah and fully -investigate the conduct of Gen. Paine while in com mand of the W estern District of Kentucky. Col. Craddock was appointed to accompany the commission and assist them in their labors. Just before the arrival of Gen. Fry at Paducah, Gen. Paine was relieved yf his command by Gen. Meredith. Paine was ordered to remain at his headqarters and meet all charges that might be preferred against him before the commisr sion. This he refused to do. When Gen. Fry and his associates - arrived, they found that Gen. Paine had fled ' to Illinois, where he is till absent without authority. All of his ' subordinate officers also took "French leave," 1 knowing that their conduct would not bear investigation. f Gen. Fry found it very difficult to commence operations, as the main parties were absent, and the clerks and orderlies with whom they had surrounded themselves, and ' possessing a knowledge of their transactions, had been previously sent out of the. district. The citizens were so completely - cowed that they would not bpen their lips with one word of complaint against the policy pursued by General Paine. Acting on he authority of Generals Meredith and Fry, Col. Craddock .publicly proclaimed the object prthe.coramission In visiting Paducah, and assured "the people ihat,if they .would come forward and testify to facts they should receive full protection from all the parties : who might be implicated by their statements. This had the desired effect. : Gen. Fry was received with the greatest enthusiasm. All of the evidence taken before the body is in the'form of affidavits, and the recprJli quite Voluminous. . It was. found, that 0en Paine had exercised the most arbitrary wilL; and that the -worst corruption prevailed in his offices. - Citi-f sens had been arrested and thrown intq prison without a she-w of trial, and no record vof:: single ' charge- preferred against theinxould- bo found amongny of the official papers in the ofioe.

Colonel McChesney, commandinff at Mayfield, by the appointment and act-i mg under the instructions of Gen, Paine; told him, about the 1st of September, 1864, that he had shot seven - men at Mayfield,-: and had one more ir --the guard-house that he intended to execute the next dayl He said that he gave them no trial, and boasted that one of prisoners was shot and covered up in his grave in forty-five minutes from the time that he" was ! first reported by"a scout at his headquarters. The whole of Gen; Paine's official career in the District of Western Kentucky was marked by the coarsest brutality, calculated to exasperate the people and send re-cruite to the rebel army. He would order citizens to his headquarters, and without provocation would acuse them, applying the most offensive terms to them, "such aa d d rebels d d scoundrels, kc. The people of Paducah were driven from their homes without any just cause and their houses turned over to negro families for occupation. Gen. Prince, commanding at Southland, states that forty-two of the citizens of Paducah passed down the river on "boats under orders of banishment beyond the Federal lines by order of General Paine. The property of these families was confiscated by Paine's officials, as it was said, for the benefit of the jGovernment. Two old widow ladies, their hair silvered by more than sixty winters, for' - no ; just cause, were torn from their comfortable homes,, and sent to Canada under guard of a file of negro soldiers. " The people were" swindled in the most outrageous manner. Gen. Paine's rule was;' absolute! . A Trade Agent Was Appointed not by the Secretary of the .Treasury, but by the selfcreated monarch, who issued his edicts from Headquarters District of Western Kentucky. He levied a tax of ten dollars on each hogshead of tobacco and each bale of cotton exported, and assessed an ad valorem tax of 25 per cent on all cotton or tobacco received. J. E. Woodruff was appoint ed Irade Agent, assigned to this espe cial duty. The large tobacco warehouse oi l nomas u ale was taken possession of, and all cotton and tobacco subject to confiscation Or tax was stored in it. Only particular favorites and pets of the General were Sallowed to carry on business, thus monopolizing' the trade j Paine sharing in the profits. Cot. W, PL. Barry, of the colored troops, for months kept company with a notorious prostitute, appearing in public with her on all occasions. lie forced one of the bankers of Paducah to pay this woman $150 in gold, giving no excuse for the strange proceeding. Capt. Phelps Paine, son of the General and A. A. G. on his staff, sent a guard to take from the house of Mn Scott Ford sufficient furniture to furnish his private room in elegant style. ' After a "thorough investigation, the commission were satisfied that Hon. Lu-cien Anderson, member of Congress, R. H. Hall, Provost Marshal 1st Congressional District of Kentucky,-John T. Bollinger, and Major. Henry Bartling, 8th U. S, colored heavy artillery, were guilty of corruption, and were sharers with. Gen. Paine in his swindling transactions,At three different places in the district, Anderson and Bollinger addressed the people and told them - that," they did not vote for-Lincoln, they; would be granted no privileges, would not be allowed to trade,' their property Would be taken, and they would be reduced to beggary and a starving condition. Every possiblo effort was made to exasperate the people in order to have a pre text to seize their property. Col. Mc- Chesney ruled Mayfield with an iron hand. He nearly destroyed the beautiful town by cutting " down shade trees and: erecting a fortification : 'arbnnd: the Court nbuse" on" tlie pubKc square. On this V brk all citizens: were -reqftired t o labor; neither sicknessi nor age4 exempt-) ing a man from. duty ejr If a-person ' did not choose to labor he was assessed a fine from 200 to $300.

If yoo at home will do aa well as the soldiers, it will be all right. The election js all the talk now, and high words are followed by blows at times. The time are pretty hard.
