sane excitement of fighting for the Stars
and Stripes when they are simply the emblem
of the Chicago platform, and not of the Con

reaction in store for these traitors, who
under pretence of preserving the Union, are
not only trying to overthrow it, but TO stab
free government at its very vi,as.

The Republicans are bound to adhere to
