the attention OF those wise men OF the east
who have lattery been giving so much Of
their time and labors to The alleged msman-

half 50 foolish ever done in this western de-
partment? Nothing in all its annals begins
10 equal this strange, this murderous move
ment. Was it not known that the enemy
could easily send heavy reinoreements to the
threatened point! Was it not certain that to
occupy thirteen hours in transporting scarcely
two ssments across the stream would furnish
both the fullest notice and the amplest oppor-

less the duty Of all good citizens who remain
at home TO see that the state receives no detu

the vote for the candidates who represent their
convictions as formidable as it may be. Ger
,,iuls there is no reason why republicans
sbould rcirain from voting for republican state

tieir wise views of public policy There Is
no reason why Union men of whatever name
should choose to vote for an untried state
