Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1862-10-27
From the New York Evening Post.

We trust that every voter in this state, and
in every state where elections are held this
fall, will go to the polls and vote. The cleo
ton Is one OF the utmost importance its re-
suits are anXiously looked for, not only by
our friends and enemies abroad, and by the
rebel leaders at Richmond, but perhaps more
anXiOusly yet by class whom we have too of
ten forgotten in these timeS-the LOYAL men of
the south. Wherever they may have sought
refuge, whether in the mountains of western
Texas, or in the cavernS and Businesses of
east Tennessee, or in the backwoods of Ar
kansas, or at home in enforced silence and
submission, they are watching with anxious
hearts for the results of our elections
Ihese southern loyalists are all of one mind.
1helr representatives, who spoke last night in
Brooklyn, all tell the same story. If we want
10 save the wmte working men of the south,
our brethren and our allies, from the despot-
Ism which is grinding them to the dust. we
must support the president and the candidates
OF the unlon-republcan organization. If we
want to have white labor honored in the sontb
we must oppose the men here at the north,
whom every loyal southern man feels and
knows to be in sympathy and alliance with the
slave arlstocratS. If we want America to be for
white men, five want to rescue the half of this
continent from the dominion and despotism
OF a set OF men who have given it over to
black slaves, and who are determined that in
all that vast region a white man shall have no
WORK TO do-then, they say, we must put down
at the coming elections the SeymOurs, the
woods, and their fellows in other states and
keep IN power the men who mean to support
the government and crush the rebellion.
Nor do the loyal men of the border states
speak differently. The editor of the ST. Jo-
seph Mo- Herald says of the effects of Mr..
Seymour'S speech in that state =
Every word that he uttered in the demo-
cratic convention at Albany is seized upon bv
seceSslonists in our midst, and rolled as a
sweet morsel under their tongues Abuse of
the present administration for its honest ef-
iorts 10 save the country, is nothing more nor
less than AID to the enemy. If any man
doubts this, let him watch the countenances
OF the rebels In st. Joseph as they read with
eagerness the bitter remarks of the eX-gover-
nor on the conduct of the war"
From Louisiana, in the same state comes
10 us a letter, from prominent citizen, a life
long democrat, to the same effect He saws
u begin to grow gray, and have been nil
my life firm, as | have endeavored to be a.
consistent democrat-have always voted for
the candidates of the party, and have no re-
grets to make on that account, though the
men voted for have not always been such as |
desired. But do think the course pursued
by a portion OF the democrats in New York
and other states suicidal in the extreme.
assure you they have done us incalculable in
jury by that course, in strengthening the
hands OF the rebels in Missouri. And as we
nave reason to fear we shall not have uninter-
rupted peace so long as the war continues
nave sent my mite to help you defeat a party
with which l have always heretofore acted"
