Don't Let it Be Said

OF any Lincoln man in this County that
he staid away from the polls on Tuesday
next. Let it be every mans proud boast
that be cast his vote for Old Abe Lincoln,
the next President of the United States.

, REPUBLICANS!

Remember that Tuesday, closes the Pres,
sidenlial campaign. Though every body
admits that the Presidential victory is
substantially won, yet we must not lay
down our armor till the las: Republican
vote is poled on Tuesday evening. the
9Th Of November. The Sham Democra-
cy are now dispirited and broken. but
they will make an effort to rally their
shattered forces. Republicans see to it
that your sentinels are all posted, and
that the forces are all in good trim for
the final charge, which is all that remains
to make our victory complete,
We must beware Of apathy and over
confidence. In 1910 Harrison carried
tn, State by "a 900, and two years after
wards Corwin was defeated by sheer
carelessnsss and an over weeaing conf
dence. Such fatal negligence will Of
course be avoided.
Republicans of Wyandot use all dill
gence during the few days that remain.
You did well on the Of October, but
can do much better on the 9Th of Novem
ber. We must and can give Lincoln and
Hamlin ONE HUNDRED majority in
this county. From all parts of the coun-
ty we have the most cheering accounts
| Our Republican friends are Wide A wake
and rain or shine, cold or warm, will be
at their posts. In the language of the
! gallant HARRISON, at the battle of the
Thames, when the British forces began
to waver, "Let as gice them one fire more
boys, and tile v;cto,y 'OiH be oars"
The war drums are beating,
| Prepare for the fight! @ rr
The people are gathering.
In strength and in might.
-.. Fling out your broad banner
/ Against the blue sky,
| - With Lincoln and Hamlin
| Wen conquer or die.
/ The clarion is sounding,
From inland to shore;
Your swords and you lances
Must sumber no more;
The slave c-driving minions,
See, see, now they fyl
- With Liucoln and Hamlin, -
Wen conquer or die.
- e#. -.. aa
March forth to the battle r esI @.
All fearless and calm;
The strength of Your spirit
Throw into your arm;
With ballots for bullets,
Let this be your cry,
With Lincoln and Hamlin, .
Well conquer or die,

The Indiann Scnatorship.

The papers have been discussing the
question Of a successor to Hon. Graham
N. Fitch. The Indiana Journal of Mon
day, in view of the many speculations a
float, gives the following: .... .
For the satisfaction of al! who are
troubled with Senatorial speculations, we
may say that it is the general feeling a.
mong Republicans that Col. Lane, in vir-
tue Of his election and rejection in 1855,
has strong claim to The vacancy in the
Senate to which we believe Mr.. Morton
and Mr.. Smith will defer readily and in
the best spirit The statement that there
is any intriguing or manageme mt among
the friends of any of these gentlemen is
nonsense. s

Dissolve the Union-Iet the blush Of shame
Hide, with its crimson glow, the brazen cheek
or him who dare avow the traitorous aim.
IT'S not the true, the wise, the good who speak
Words Of such fearful import; but the weak,
Drunk with fanaticism's poisonous wine,
And reckless of the future, madly seek
To bold their saturnalia at the shrine
That noble souls have held and still must hold divine
dissolve the Union-madmen, would ye rend
The glorious motto from our couAtry's crestf
Would ye dsspo the stars and stripes, that lend
Home, food, protection to the worlds opprestf
Have ye no reverence for the high bequest
That our immortal sires bestowed erewhile?
Has sin defacod the imSge God iuapreSt ls5st
On your humanity, that ye could smile
To see the lurid flames of Freedoms funeral pile.
Dissolve the Union-in the day, the hour
Ye rsnd the blood-cem ented tie in twain,
The fearful cloud of civil war will lower
o'er every old blue hill and sunny plain,
From torrid Mexico to frigid Maine;
And men will arm, and strange, new banners wave
And pallid women look on kindred slain;
Brothers will battle, and the lfe-blood lave
The threshold noble sires and husbands died to save
Dissolve tho Union mo ye cannot part,
With idle words, the blessed ties that bind
In one, the interests of that mighty heart
That treasures up the hopes of all mankind.
Awhile, perchance, the blind may lead the blind,
And men may follow phosphorescent light,
From beaten paths to quagmires, ere they and
The ray that shone, so beautiful and bright,
Was but phantom-lure to deeper, darker night.
Dissolve the Union never ye may SOW
The seeds of vile dissension o'er the land,
That men may reap in sorrow; ye may show
The world your disregard of all it's grand
Eternal interests; but noble band
OF patriots, tried and true, who still remain,
With heart to heart, and sinewy hand to hand,
To guard, from foul dishonor's cankering stain.
The jewel God has shrined in Freedoms holy fame.
Dissolve the Union ! no; destroy the page
That gives to human sight the hideous scrawl;
Let not the frsemen, of future age,
Read these deteSted words; they would recall
Shame, madness, imbecility, and all
That mars the noon-tide glory OF our time,
True to the undivided, stand or fall;
To waver now is little less than crime
10 battle for the right, is glorious, sublime.

The Comic Side OF Lac.


Life, which is certainly the greatest ain.
stitution" that we know Of, has its comic
side as we'll as its dresry one, and we some-
times find the comic and the dreary going
most strangely hand in hand. Peopie are
often made to laugh when they fain would
weep. The bufoom frequently comes to 10
most inopportunely-ihe unwelcome guest
on dismal occasions. .sE aa-ti
The British House of Lords are the most
august body of men in the world. They
never smile. They apparently regard laugh
ter as a capital offence, and entertain feel
ing of profound contempt for humorists and
comedians. One afternoon when the House
of Lords were uncommonly dignifed and
sleepy, an inebriated American, who ahad
found his way into the gallery, uttered E
startling aboriginal "whoo o.op," and asked
if"some hon'r'ble (hic) lord wouldn't favor
the House with (blc) comic song"
In csrtain town in New Hampshire, .
few years since, an individual borrowed Q
large silver watcn to wear at bis wife's fl.
neral. He had not been accustomed to
carrying a watch, and made rather absurd
display of the time piece in question. Dur.
ing the funeral sermon he annoyed the other
mourners exceedingly by taking out the
watch with great flourish every few mo-
ments, end replacing it with an equally OK.
tensive flourish. AT the grave he took out
the watch again, and in a solemn voice
said: ut was just twenty minutes past three
when we got her in"

One Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred years ago there was not
single white man in Ohio, Kentucky, Indi.
ana or Illinois Territories. Then, what is
now the most fourishing part of America
was as little known as the country around
the Mountains Of the Moon. 1t was not un-
til 1859 that the Hunter of Kentucky, the
gallant and adventurous Boone, left his
home in North Carolina to become the first
settler of Kentucky. The first pioneer of
Ohio did not settle till twenty years after
that time. A hundred years ago Canada
belonged to France, and the whole po2ula.
tion of the United States did not exceed a
million and half of people. A hundred
years ago the great Frederick Of Prussia
was performing those great exploits which
have made him immortal in military annals,
and, with his little monarchy, was sustain
ing a single handed contest with Russia,
Austria and France, the three great Powers
Of Europe combined. A hundred years ago
the United States was the most loyal part OF
the British Empire, and on the political no.
rizon no speck indicated the struggle which
a score of years thereafte established the
greatest republic Of the world. A hundred
yeurs ago there we're but four newspapers in
America; stesm engines had not been i'm
agined, and railroads and telegraphs had not
entered into the remotest conceptions OF
man. When we come to. look back at it
through the vista Of history. we find that the
century which has passed has been allotted
to more important events, 10 their bearing
upon the happiness Of the world. than almost
any other which has happened siRce the Gre.
alton. A hundred years hence. what will
be the developments?
