A Specimen Sheet.

If any of our readers desire to know
the largest possible amount of slang,
Islander, detraction, abuse and misrep-
resentation that can be crowded into a
common sized newspaper, they have
only to procure copy of the Cassapo-
lis Democrat of last week. We ad.
wise those who wish to secure a model
Of scurrility as a curiosity to preserve
the last number of the Democrat, and
we can assure them that not another
specimen equal to it has appeared since
the time when the "memory of man
runneth not to the contrary" 1t may
be that the Union fusion guerilla
party in this county has reached snch a
depth of moral and political degrade
ton as to feast and fatten upon such
garbage as they are treated to by the
Editor of the Democrat; but we do
not believe it, and feel confident that
the course they are pursuing will meet
with the hearty condemnation of their
readers.

Our Next LegislatuIe.

The Legislature that will be chosen
at the approat hing election in this
State will have unusually grave and
important dnties 10 perform. The re-
bellion and the attendant expenses and
measures for its suppression have in
creased the burdens of the State Gov
ernments as well as OF the Federal
Government, and we want none but
trusty. discreet, honest and patriotic
men in the Legislature at such a time
as this.
A United States Senator, is also to
be chosen by the Representatives in
the Legislature now to be elected. Do
we want Vallandigham Democrat, or
a sound. true aud eyer-reliable Union
man to represent the loyal State o.
Michigan in the Federal Senate? Eve
nv man can answer the question to'
himself by the kind of man for Repre-
sentative be votes for at the polls.

Republicans, do your Duty.

X publicans, only few days remain
before election. Much work needs TO
be done before that time. See that the
name Of every Republican voter is
registered properly. Make your ar.
rangements to be at the polls early and
stay al day. Have all the Republican
voters out on election day. Do not
trade votes with or for any one. Go
fearlessly to every earnest, patriotic
man, no matter what his politics, and
ask him TO vote ticket which ex
presses principles and to sustain the
President by sustaining the party of
the President. Lay aside all jealousies,
all wounded pride. Make personal
sacrifices. Act earnest; act patriot
cally for the good of the principles
you profess. Triumphant success will
be the result, for earnest, faithful, de-
termined action always triumph.

~ Byron G.. Stout made a speec

Byron G.. Stout made a speech
such as it was-at the Methodist
Church on Saturday evening last. He
declared that he was in favor of the
war, but was opposed to the contisca-
ton Of rebel property, except during
the lifetime of the rebel. He also de.
clared that he was opposed to the sns
pension of the writ of habeds corpus.
or course. None but robbers hate
the laws for the punishment of rob
berry. None bu: traitors have any dis
position to find fault with measures for
the restraining or punishment of trea-
son. We have yet To hear of an earn.
est and undoubtpd Union Democrat
who has any fanlt to find with any
measure of the Government for the
suppression Of the rebellion or the pun
isli ment of their allies.
We hear no man complaining Of ar.
rests that have been made on charges
of disloyalty, or of the suspension of
the writ of habeos corpus in such cases,
who does not himself desire for uni M.
tied ''freedom of speech in behalf of
treason, or the largest liberty of action
in aid of the rebels.

For or Against the Government.

"THERE CAN BE NONE BUT PATRIOTS
OR TRAITORS, in the present National
struggle" were about the last words
uttered by the late Senator Donylas.
Let every man weigh well the truth of
those words, in the vote he is abont Ia
give. Are You for the Government, az
do you Oppose it in the war measures
it adopts to crush the rebellion
If You are For the Government, give
to the Republican n"minees cordial
support-fnr they are pledged to an
Unconditional support of the Govern.
ment.
If OPPOSED To the Government, vote
for Fusion Union Democratic nominees
for they are pledged to Oppose the
GoCernnaent in the measures adopted
to put down the rebels.
Every vote given for the Fusion.
Union nominees is a vote against the
Government. Every such votes favors
and strengthens the rebels against the
Government. Every rebel in Canada,
every rebel sympathizrr in Michigan
favors the Fusion Union Democratic
ticket, because it is pledged to oppose
the Government. Every one of the.
Fusion Union candidates for Congress,
and for State, County, or Legislative
office is Opposed to the Government
1t is the Anti Government, Party,
pledged to Oppose the Confiscati"n of
rebel property, and other War Meas.
ures of the Government.
This is the difference, these are the
dividing lines between the Republican
and the Fusion Union Democratic par
ties. Let every man choose between
them.

The Ticket.

From this day till the polls are closed
on the 4th of November, let every
patriot, let every lover of his country
work for the Republican ticket. The
tories are making death struggle to
aeize the Offices, and thus to cripple and
to control the government and strike
hands with the rebels, who are bent or
the ruin of the country. A vote fol
Stout, is vote to encourage the South
ern traiters. True, it is not directl,
for them, but it will serve their purpose
much better than if Jeff. Davis himself
had nominated his avowed friends fol
the offices. Who, then, that loves hi.
country, will be found doing the dirty
work of rebels and traitors ?

One of the best seasunable enterpris-

squire feet, shows the entire State of
VIRGINIA SO completely that every
county, town, city, village, river, brook,
mountain, hill, and principal road, and
the movements of the armies are readi-
ly traced. 1t also embraces Mary land
and part of Pennsylvania. The other
Map, covering about Is square feet,
gives all the Southern or Slave States,
including Missouri, Kentuckey, Virgi-
MIA, Maryland, and Delaware. Tho
not SO minute az the Map of Virginia,
this shows all the counties, principal

az The net loss to the Republicans
in Ohio has not been less than 100000
men, and in INDIANA 10000 who are
volunteers in the Union army. That
the unconditional Union men should,
under these circumstances, be worste,l
at the polls, need not be a matter of
surprise. If the soldiers from those
States had been allowed to vote, not a
single tory would have been elected To
Congress. The Republicans would
have made clear sweep. This slate.
ment is shown to he true by the result
in Iowa. In that State the soldiers
were permitted to take part in the cleo.
ton, aud behold the result! The VIC
tory il one of gigantic proportions.
The Republicans have elected the en-
tire delegation. Not tory came with.
n sight of success. Let the volunteers
of Indiania and Ohio vote to.morrow
aud they will reverse the result in every
district carried by the Vallandigham
party.

all the country newspapers OF that party,
including the mis-named Cassapolis Dem
ocraf and Niles Republican, echoed and
have continued to echo the treasons and
toryisms of the Detroit Free Press.
These have found greedy ears upon the
heads of a large proportion of their party.
Those who have been engaged during the
last fifteen months in the patriotic work
of enlisting volunteers, know very well
how almost impossible it has been to pro-
cure volunteers in neighborhoods in which
these traitorcus organs have afforded the
principal newspaper literature of the in

the village of Cassapolis,) has far larger

most populous, it is almost the only town

bly, more copies of the Detroit Free Press
and Cassapolis Democrat circulated than
in any five townships besides. ~

Byron G. Stout opposed to Coufiscation.
We publish below a letter written
bv Byron G. Stout, the Democratic
"Union"- fusion candidate for Governor.
to member of the Legislature from
Lapeer, which clearly proves that the
honorable (?) gentleman is not only
opposed to confiscatien under any cir
cumstances, but that he has been ac-
tuated by the most selfish motives, In
taking the course he has, and that in
stead Of having been, in favor of a
Union party ever since the war began,
he only was in favor of it after he
found out that he stood no chance for
attaining the Republican nomination
for Congress-. We should judge that
this letter would open the eyes Of some
Of his devotees who have hon estly fol-
lowed him thus far believing him to be
in favor of sustaining the President in
his efforts to put down the rebellion.
But here is the letter:
PONTIAC, April 5th, 1862.
Mr.. j. Is. WILSON Dear Sir =
From some remarks / nave heard You
make, am led to think that you are
not favorable Ia the nomination Of MIR.
Trowbridge; if SD, allow me TO ask
you if there is anything in the way OF
supporting myself, should / conclude
to be a candidate.
You know the position which &C
cupy. While / am in favor of rss,kine
an example of leading rebels in tn,
present war, am opposed to extrem,
measures against the victims of South
ern traitors, who have been mislet
into rebellion. Under our constitution
no forfeiture on account of treason car
be operative longer than the life of
the traitor. Property at his death
wOnld revert to his heirs. The whole
cOnfiscation scheme Of Congress u
void, as well as impnlitic, ii, by it, this
forfeiture is intended To- be perpetual.
| Again, what Southern Court will de
cree the general contiscation Of al
property. 1t mnst be borne IN mind
that each State alone can take cugniz
apce of crimes committed In its Dor
,lers. What Alabama Court or iur,
will carry out any Congressional Con
fiscation Law? Why then take away
the only indncement to return to loyal
Ity; bnt, can give my views more faf
when see yon.
| would be glad to hear from you, il
at all favorable to my nomination,
should take pleasure to know yon
views. az well as those Of other Lapee
Republicans. Yonrs very trnly,
BYRON q. STOUT.
