The impression seems to be growing at the j
North and in the Northwest among the poli- I
ticrans, that there is no Other alternative but lo 1
support either Lincoln or Met.'IclIan. Many >
' t are accordingly preparing to swallow the bitter
pill of McClelJan, rather than the 'nauseous
one of Lincoln. We collect together the foilowing
outgivings on the subject: ,,1
The Ciucinnati Enquirer, thejbomc organ of ;
Pendleton, warmly supports McClcttan anil de- j
nouhces the N. V. JVcusv. ' j

Hon. Fernando Wood, brother of the Editor,

Slass Meeting in Xew York, in which he says
that,he \vill give his earnest arfd uetermijiyd

Important* to Salt phftenaskks.?'W? are J
authentically i'nf<wtne4rthat there an; no less j
? . than twontv-three salt manufacturers in Charles- !
ion, and vncinity, within the conscript age, who
arc detailed t<? make salt ou the special condi-.1
tions that they would sell the article-to consumers
at the works at .nine dollars a bushel, or
delivered at any of the railroad depots in-good
shipping ord-vr, at twelve dollars. ,Nw, the
question arises, with these twenty-three salt
boilers, bound to these conditions, Lciw is. it
that salt is to^day from twenty to twor:ty-fiv<i
dollars per bushel in our market f The qitds.
tion is .easily solved, but we do not propose t<5
do it just now. We would, however, say to
f ' our farmers, planters and country fcqnsumers
generally, that if tlicy club together for any
partienjar District, and appoint a responsible
agent here, they can have their salt at the'
prices to which the salt boilers Lave- bound
themselves to suorrtv consumers, else the boiler
refusing to supply at these prices will not have
his detail renewed. We may advert to this
matter again, and fnrnish tho names of the salt
boilers so detailed.?Charleston Mercury.

Tuk Draft.?Nobody wants to be drafted
?nobody wants to go. Trie parties to the
proceedings are a powerful Government on tlio
one side, and'a frightened, disbearted and. reluctant
people on the other. The pressure of
the draft is made by the Administration and
its party leaders?they who are exempt or who
can procure exemption of the first part, and
them to whom nothing is left but submission,
of the ?ocond. The "pro|>er precautions taVen
by the president ''to guard against resistance''
are not against any particular party, ;
but against the whole people. There has been, j
' ' during pasttime, in certain quarters, a demand
for "a strong Government." We have a strong !
Government now?the strongest in the-'world
m t. ?a despotism not yet sapped by its owr. inherent
rottenness, nor broken-by internal conspiracies?an
iron rule without conscience .and '
ithodt remorse?an Adrainstration at once
' eak and crnel, inconsistent and inexorable..?
