A Word in Season. I
That Grant and Colfax will be the next
President and Vice President nfthe United
States, we have no more doubt than we have
that there will be an election in November ;
and that Ilartranft and Campbell will be tii-
umphantly elected in October, we have just
... . .
as little. V e are assured of these results i
because we are certain that as a parry, we ;
we have within our control the means to ae
complish them. We do not expect they will
would expect the ground to plow itself, thc
seed to sow itself, and the harvest to reap
itself. We know that it is an inexorable law
of Nature that nothing that is worth the
having can be obtained without labor. We
may be pcrf-ictly assured that we can accom- j
plish a purpose, but we must be equally cer
tain that we will have to use the means nec-
ps.rv tn ftrtain it (!nnftlt,nt jta trn owi
therefore, of -our success at thc polls in Oc
tober and November, we are just as confident
that we must use zeal, diligence, and effort
to obtain it. We must plow and sow if we
would reap. We must go actively to work
and "organize victory."
Our adversaries are wiley, unscrupulous,
and active. They have everything to gain
and nothing to lose. The very fact that they
are conscious of the weakness of their tie-Let
and the weight of the load they have to car
ry, makes them more earnest and indefati
gable in their efforts. The'y are resorting to
every means that their ingenuity and past
experience can devise. They know full well
that with the defeat of their ticket this tail
the last flickering blaze of the Democratic
candle, now spluttering in the socket, will
be extinguished forever. They are perfectly
assured that the glad peals that will ring
forth the news of Republican triumph, tviil
be the death knell alike of the "Lost Cause,"
and of all their hopes of power, revenge and
spoils. Hence they will hesitate at nothing
in order to accomplish their purposes. They
are already flooding the country with lying i
and slanderous documents; making out lists !
of "names to be furnished with fraudulent :
naturalization papers, looking up favorable j
localities for colonizing votes, organizing se- i
cret societies to control the polls, and using i
every iniouitous expedient by tht; aid of
which they have gained temporary successes
in former years.
It is time then, that the loyal men of the
land should arouse and iro earnestly to work.
The certainty of triumph should oi.Jy be in
incentive to labor. All our efforts in th i
past, all the vast sacrifices that have been
made, all the expenditure of treasure ami
blood will have been in vain, if we refuse or
neglect to use the means now in our prwor
to secure forever, for ourselves, our children
and their posterity, the great results of the
war. Let us then organize at once. Estab
lish a Graut aud Colfax club in every town
ship. Place at their head earnest, active
and fearless men. Sec that your neighbors
and friends are provided with papers and
documents. Make your arrangements to
have the township thoroughly canvassed,
and the vote got out on the day of the eVc--tion.
Acquaint yourselves with the right of
each man in the township to vote, so that
you may be rrepared to contest those that
are fraudulent and illegal, and vindicate
those that are right and lawful, at the polls
, , , . . .... 1
' use oi me means, oe Oiligent and
watchful, and you will rejoice all the more
over our great and final triumph.

mour was regarded a, a trusted friend in the
camps of the rebels, and feared as a foe to
patriots all over the land. What more

of "j5 Canadian volunteers, for the Pupal

"ot a sigh was heard nor s funeral note
As up Salt River we hurried.
Cut we longed to depart from the dreary boat,
And wished our leader was buried
He was killed to dead on election day
By the Grant and Colfax legions.
That nought was left for his -friends" but to pray
His sou! from the 'infernal regions.'
And thns in the dark and gloomy night
Of defeat and despair we were hurried
i 'With his r'.ay-coM corse concealed from sight
To the place where our dead lay buried.
The coffin was ready, ('twas Belmont's best.)
And in rebel gray as we found him,
He lav like a traitor tan ing his rest.
With the 'stars and bars' around him.
Pv the side of McT'lellan we made his grave.
j With our torcltfs dim'y burning.
And the ?.iu;c old -spades' of that gallant brave,
' Were ued for the salt turf turning.
Few and short were the prayers we said,
j V-'e fini?lied our work and left him,
; His New York -friends' still pray for the dead,
I Of their -marcs' n uite Las bereft him.
j And there he lies in the moonlight cold,
1 On the bank of that lonely river.
So stune was erected the tale to unfold
Oar dead are forgotten forever.
And now in the bottle we seek relief.
The 'offices' all have departed,
With Seymour and Blair wo have come to grief,
And hence are all broken hcaited.

one here into that belief. The rights of
citizens and private property were perhaps
as much respected by them ashy the rebels
themselves, certainly not more, and as for
defending the border from the enemy, it
was farthest from their thoughts. The reg-
intents sent here arrived on Sunday, at a

Hot Shot from a Clerical Battery. '
T. L. Cuyler, D. !., in his last letter to

Democratic nnmii,es in a s!ashin wav. He
writes as one who knows ami we reckon he
"k'nows whereof he affirms:"
"Our indolent, and druken college class-
m:xtc Fl'auk Biair. has been nominated for
'bat high office which Andrew Johnson once
discr'ieed by his intoxication. Poor Blair's j
only distinction in college was his amputa- j
tion of a ciase mate's nose with a carving
knife in a tipsy sr,ree. And now he is nom
inated on the same ticket with thc man whose 1
ui - i.i.iiiioo iii limine act was ro veto the
prohibiiory liquor law of New Y'ork. With
the partisan politics of Messrs. Seymour and
Blair, wc have nothing now to do ; but
while one of these men has an unhappy tend
ency to insanity.and the other is addie'ed to
strong drink, we submit whether Christian
patriots should be called on to commit the
mighty interests of this Republic into their
hands."

How Seymour takes at New York.
"Burleigh," the New York correspondent
of the Boston Journal, relates the following
little incident, which shows how things are
working at the metropolis : "I was present
at Barris' on Saturday, the dining place
where merchants and lawyers congregate.
There happened to be uite a number of
active politicians present, representing both
sides.- Though the thermometer was above
ninety, the discussion became quite anima
ted. Among the company wasadistingnish-
; ed lawyer, who was quite opposed to Gen
eral Grant. He was addressed by a persori
present, wio said, "You take the stump
' for Seymour, I suppose?" "Well, you will
support the Democratic nominee, you arc
! so 1itter again.-t Grant?" "I don't like
I Grant, but I shall vote for him." lie
added : "Gentlemen, I am the personal
friend of Horace Greeley. When the mob,
! ten thousand strong, hooted and howled
! around the Tribune buildingand threatened
; to tear it down. I was inside prepared to de
! feud it. I am considered one of the best
' riile shots in America. I never miss my
! mark. I saw Governor Seymour stand in
the midst of that excited crowd, addressing
j his "friends"'. I covered Lis heart with my
I rifle. J could bo'h hear and see him. I
j made up my mind if they attacked the
i building, I would bring him to the
j rri'ind, and I should have done it, for my
I ball never mioses. What I saw that day was
'. quite enough for nie and he shall have no
influence that I can brinsr to bear.

"In all their hours of disaster and gloom,

was one pany, every man of which stood
around our banner, and never despaired of
