hopes for the future, in the name and
by the love we bear to that glorious
old Flag, struck down and insulted by
traitors in arms, yet none the less loved
and revered by us, we appeal to you
now. We ask you SO to vote, as most
unmistakably to attest your love for
the Union, your confidence in the Gov
ernment in Strengthening the hands
and nerving the hearts of those to
whom is committed, by the Constitu-
ton and the laws, the guardianship of
our nationality.
There are but two real parties now
in existence-the Government and its
supporters. and they who are arraycd
against it. Rally, then, to the support
of the Government. Say by your vote
you stand by the Administration. Vote
for Col. WILLIAM H. WALLACE, who,
nominated by the Olympia Convention,
Is the only Administration Union can-
didate now in the field for your SUI:
frages.
Your voting for him, is an expression
of appreciation of the policy of tho Ad-
ministration. The Republican party is
now the party of the Government. To
a Republican Admission the people
have entrusted the preservation Of our
free institutions, the perpetuity of the
Constitution, the duration of the I'm
ion itself: That party must of necessi-
ty stand by and endorse the Admins
tration in power; they must uphold the
Government. For the time being, that
Administration and the opinion which
sustains it, is, from the very nature of
our institutions, the Government itself.
Besides, call to mind the fact, that every
State which voted for Mr.. Lincoln has
responded in furnishing troops, to re-
cover our we'll nigh lost nationality.
Remember, that not one Republican in
the length and breadth of our land has
avowed secession sentiments. That in
the loyal States, party ties are blotted
out and forgotten, as is so gloriously
exemplifed by the gallant Republican
Governor of Illinois appointing, as sue
ccssor to the late eminent patriot, Ste-
'phen A. Douglas, Judge Cation, though
heretofore Democrat.
Pause, ponder and reflect before you
cast your vote. You know Col. Wal
lace we'll. You know the sentiments
he has professed for years. You know
the confidence and regard entertained
for him by the present Administration.
Do we say too much, when we say that
his election at this time will more I'M
mistakably assert the devotion Of the
the people of this Territory to the Un-
ion, than any other manner in which
it can be expressed.
We urge his election, because he is
worthy of your confidence and support;
because he is long identified with the
Territory. and knows its every interest;
because he is able, eloquent, fearless,
energetic, in every way competent to
benefit our people, and secure an eff
Gent representation of their wants in
the Halls of Congress. But over all
this, and especially to be desired at this
time, electing him attcsts our eternal
attachment to the Constitution as II,
without. amendment or alteration to
suit traitors, our never-dying love for
the Union Of our Fathers, our unalter-
able hope to see it maintained intact
against the assaults of traitors in arms,
our unfaltering confidence in the poll
cy Of the Patriot Lincoln, and his glo-
rious compeers, in their present efforts
to crush out rebellion and treason.
