written a strong letter in support of
Grant and Colfax. Mr. Carlile is a
West Virginia conservative, and has
heretofore acted with the Democratic
party. But he can't go Seymour and the

The following comnu appears
iu the Wes,t Wo vo ni_
mend it, the "Boys iu Blue" everywhere :
('oltuADEs:—We c - 4 re again called upon
to battle with our common enemy—the
enemy of iutln•ovement, the enemy of
universal liberty, and the deadly and in
veterate enemy of every man that raised
his voice or carried a nwshet t.o inn, down
the most unholy awl wicked rebellion of
this or any other laud.
The, discomfited traitors of the South,
and their coadjutorn, the Copperheads of
the North, are sailing in the piratical
bark of treason, the stars and bars fl o ating
from the masthead—bottle along by the
waves of secession, and lulled to repose
by the music of the Bonnie Blue Flag . '
—her decks yet slippery with the life
blood of our brothers, while 'round her
volition boards we tind such men us Sey
mour, Vallandigham, Forrest, .Tolinson,
Davis & Co., eulogizing the memory of
Wirz and Booth, and regaling themselves
in potations of Sandwich Island 111111 and
villainous whiskey.
Comrades, there is no neutral ground
for the soldier in this contest. lie must
stand by the men who have carried our
victorious banner through seas of blood
and triumph ; men who have repudiated
treason in the field and at the ballot box,
or he must come down on his knees and
ask to be forgiven for the great part he
has rendered by disowning rebellion, and
then having quietly submitted to the
voice of Democracy, be handed over and
eternally damned by the victorious le
gions of Seymour, Davis & Co.
The Democracy have never missed an
opportunity to stab the loyal soldier in
the back—to insult and vilify the patri
otic soldier of the Republic,—and yet
call themselves our friends. Merciful
God! " Save us from our friends !"
But we remember by the blood of our
fallen comrades—we remember the vic
torious shouts that echo front the Atlantic
to the Rio Grande for Grant and Colfax,
is proof that we remember Democratic
treason, and have not forgotten the hero
of Donelson,—Uncobditional :...ttrrender
Grunt. A BOY IN BLUE.
AN old gentletuan in Michigan, who
served in the war of 1815, and also in the
Mexican war, called a day or two since
141 receive the payment of bounty for two
sons 1w had given to the country in the
late Nvar, and voluntarily in the presence
of two or three persons, made'the state
ment that he was nearly eighty years
old, had never yet voted nay ticket but
the Democratic ; that he had served in
two warts, had given two sons in the late
war, "but God forbid," said the old man,
as the tears came into his eyes, "that
what will in all probability lie my last
vote should be cast for men who have
always opposed the interests that I have
fought for, and for which my two only
sons were given."

brave o'er. :+ l ,l;oukled
the nation iu mournin! , , and flooded it
with tear. Sticli are the glm,tly testi
monials of what the Democracy le , done
in rear:: pa-t.
..".s.,ro thanks to that party that to-day we
have. a country to love or a Consiaution
to revere. It did all in its power to de
stroy both.
And now it .wain seeks power through
discord and civil stril'c. For four roars,
during the hi'l2lli, of The halioli;s peril,
the only hope of the party for success
was in disaster to our arias. !knee it
rejoiced at every 1. - nion defeat, and
mourned over every Union victory.
Its candidate for Vice Presi6nt de
clared to the Convention that nominated
him, that " we inu4 have a President
who will cxecute the will of the people
by ‘last arc ustu ptttiuus (y .
knots o 4 the lierMistrilefiOit acts.
I repeat, this is the real and
only question which we shotthl allow to
control us. It is idle to talk of bonds,
greenbacks, gold and the public credit.
I wish to stand before the Con
vention upon this issue.'' Thu s was h e
nominated, and Wade Hampton, advo
cating the ticket before an audience in
South Carolina, declares •‘ that the cause
for which they fought, and fur which
Stonewall Jackson died, will yet be gained
in the election of Seymour and Blair."
If this party can succeed at the ballot
box, the work of reconciliation for four
years will be undone, and the priceless
sacrifices of four others will have been
made in vain.
The issue is marked and well defined :
Grant, Lolfax and Peace; or, Seymour,
Blair and War.
Caleb Cushing is out against Seymour
—Chief Justice Pearson, of North Caro
lina, conservative, is out for Grant.—
Maj. Gen. Gordon, of Indiana, a warm
friend of Hendricks, is now stumping for
Grant.—Gen. Steedman, Democrat,
,re
pudiates Seymour.—Hon. Geo. M. W es
ton, of Bangor, Maine, heretofore known
as "the wheel-horse of Democracy," takes
the stump for Grant.—Hon. T. W. (been,
a staunch Democrat of Indianapolis,
Ind., is on the stump for Grant and Cohax.
—Surveyor General Sleeper, of Leaven
worth, Kansas, Democrat, ha, waked
rip, and goes for Grant.—The Ti
Ti meN, the rc,, , itlar Democratic or;P:an of
the Eight (lUdianal Diqrict, repudiate ,
Se y inmir and the Blairs.—The
(N: Ouzet/e, the only Deniocratk•
(lady in Cliennuig county, has taken down
ihcs 11111110 ti of Seymour and Blair, and now
supports Grant and Colfax.-1 fon. Thos.
N. Stillwell and General J. L. swift, both
Johnsonites, have rclurned to the Re
publican fold, and are now stumping for
Grant and Colfax.—Everybody votes for
Grant and reads FATHER AHRAHAM.
Let no Republican "take for granted"
that the important work of thorough and
perfect organization will be attended to
without his own individual effort. Let
the work be done—not to-morrow, next
week, or some other time, but wow.

Work nil c ountry, for ti
purified Constitution, for a redeemed
race, for the memory of the sacred dead,
for the reward of the heroic living.
We work for Grant, Ivho saved us our
liberties.
We work for our national credit, with
out which Grant would to-day be an
outlaw and Davis enthroned at Washing
ton.
We work to prevent a new war.
We work, therefore, for Peace and
Freedom.
Republicans, War Democrats, Boys in
Blue, begin at once to organize and to
canvass, and remember the motto,
" Work, Not Words !" Philadelphia
Press.
THE Republican party cannot deploy
tot) carefully. We do not fight the bat
tles of this campaign against an open,
manly foe, but against a bushwacking
enemy, whose weapons are colonization,
fraudulent naturalization, duplicate vot
ing, and false returns. These agents are
sworn to seeresy, and the fate of Casey

conscience, reveals their hidden arts.
