your wives, misters and mothers, to per
form the sterner ditties of a solder' at

Why did you go?
To make motry?—that-iias impossi

spree?—that is not reasonable. To
because it is said, " sweet to

alarming extent, we opine. Tn gain
laurels?—possibly some did, but if they
were Democrats, they soon learned that
indignities, and not laurels, were heap
ed upon them.
Why, then, soldier of the No'rth, did
von enlist in the army to peril limb
and life, to give up i•rnnforts and take
up the cross of suffering and hardship?

BELLEFONTE, PA., FRIDAY; FEBRUARY 19, 1869.
North! Shut not your teyes to the
truth. These Southern' , "rebels,", so,
termed derisively brdemagogues, are
your countrymen and your kindred.
They are white men, and white women,
and white children—scions of the race
which has done all that has been done
for mankind and its progress. Like
yourselves, they 'are not immaculate 4
bUt liable to err. They long since gave
up their notions of independence, and
are praying to be again admitted to
Rill fellowship with their brethren and
countrymen North. Will you, soldier
of the Union, permit demagogues to
stand in the breech and forbid the baus
that should, ere Odd, have.bOund them,
oi the fraternal bond or ft - restored and
happy Union? Think over th is.
