/ WINFIELD cCOII OI IIuHhHH IeFCc VIII DC
elected President of the United States. We
entreat you to vote for Gen Scorr because
l. He is the only candidate in nomination
for President who is distinctly and unequiyo-
cally friendly to the PRoTEoTIoS OF AMERICAN
LABOR, willie Pierce is the lifelong and bitter
adversary of that policy;
2. Gen. ScoTr is the only candidate favora-
| bic to RIVER AND HARBoR IMPROVEMENTS who
can possibly be elected, while Pierce is the
nominee and favorite Of that Virginia School
Of Political Economists who esteem every ap-
preparation from the Federal Treasury for
such Improvements unauthorized and wrong
3. Gen. ScOTT is proved and unequiyocal
advocate Of the policy Of Peace and rigid re-
spect for the Rights OF Nations in antagonism
to that school which regards the spoation of
ueil hboring powers as our manifest destiny
and is so intent on stealing foreign territory
/ that it neglects and opposes the Improvement
of our own;
! t. Gen. Scorr has devoted more than forty
/ years to the service Of his Country, in the
Council as well as the Field, and has been
eminently useful and brilliantly successful in
each. There is no man now living who has
rendered the Country SO many and such signal
services as he, while his opponent cannot be
said, without gross 1attery, TO have dstin-
gushed himself in any capacity. In other
words, our Country owes very much of her
nj 10 Cor
at all to Mr.. Pierce.
5. Gen. Scorr's private life has been emf
nently pure, heroic, exemplary. Often in
trusted with the weightiest responsibilities he
never violated law nor exalted the Military
above the Civil Power A Warrior by profess
sion, no act Of cruelty or inhumanity was ever
laid to his charge. Exposed to the strong
temptations of lofty and adventurous career,
he has ever been temperate, blameless in act
and speech, and irreproachsbly upright. And
the license and irreverence of Camp aud Court,
lie has hOnored the character Of a man and the
profession Of Christian. Should he be chosen
President, every citizen may point out to his
children the Nations Chief Magistrate as a
model to be initiated and a ruler every way
worthy of their protoundest respect
6. With Gen. SCoTT as President, we need
fear no insults nor aggressiOns from Foreign
Powers, while they need fear none from us.
He will not need to play the bully to prove his
courage, while they will not venture to insult
or presume on Government directed by the
first OF living warriors. His name as PreSi-
dent is better guaranty of Peace and gen.
erhl difference than an army Of fifty thousand
men would afford us.
Freemen Of the Union if you believe Gen
ScorT should be elected, We cOnjure you 80
ACT \ few hours must settle the question:
as your activity and fidelity or apathy and sell
fshness shall determine. If every one who be-
leyes Gen. Scorr should be chosen will only
oct as that belief requires, he cannot be beaten
There are voters enough who prefer him if they
can only be drawn to the polls. VIII you not
help in this work to the extent of your ability
To this and at the worst you can await the is
sue with a cheering consciousness of having
done your duty. Vote first yourself, with such
friends as YOU can conveniently take with YOU,
and then 10 after your dilatory or hesitating
friends or neighbOrs. Freemen and brethren
do not eyade the pressing demands of Public
DUTY
