FOOD FOR REFLECTION We ask careful
perusal of the speech Of Gen. PRENTIss, on our
first page, giving an account of his sojourn
among the rebels as a prisoner. Those tender

publicaus,who are so tender of the, Constitution

whatever name, will see only matter of approv>

The Election of Mr.. Potter; necessity
for activity.

| 1t is we'll that the Union Republicans in this
the election of Judge Potter can be secured on
ly by vigorous action. The District is at most
a close one, and the majority either way has
never been large. From six to eight thousand
soldiers have gone to the war from the District
three fourths ofthese of qualified age ARE Repub-
licans. 1t isa true, provision was made in the
late special session of the Legislature against
strenuous opposition of the Democrats to allow
the vote of the soldiers to be taken; but it
must be remembered that several of the Regi-
ments represented from this Congressional Dis
| trict, have been badly cut up;many have fallen
on the field OF battle in defence of the Union :;
many are sick and wounded, and in hospitals +,
many have been taken prisoners. The scattered
condition of large number, will render it i'm :
practicable to receive their votes-some thous>
ands of course will not be reached Yet it is
confidently believed that ifthe Republican I'm
ion voters at home do their duty-their ,ohOIe
duty, the election of Judge Potter will be SCI
cured. e-
y. .. Drown, the Democratic candidate, has
the advantage of being resident of Milwaukee,;
we say Advantage, because the Milwaukee poll
ticans always succeed to some extent, in max :
ing their people believe that Milwaukee has
great pecuniary interests at stake, which can
only be obtained by having Milwaukeean in
Congress There are persons who will abandon
their principles for supposed pecuniary gain
The butternut democracy will doubtless give
Brown large majority in that city, but if the
Union Republicans in the balance of the Diss
trict are aroused to the importance of the issue
and the national interests at stake. Judge
Potter will be elected by handsome majority
Let no Republican except for extraordinary
reasons, stay away from the polls on the day of
election.

Voters of Kenosha county, look to your Leg
islative ticket; United States Senator who
will hold his office for six years. will be elected
at the next meeting of the Legislature in this
State. Ths tory Democrats,a are exerting every
possible influence, to secure majority in the
next Legislature, and thus ensure the election
of tory to the U. S. Senate. Every true Union
Republican, should realize the importance Of
preventing Wisconsin from being Represented
in the Q. S. Senate by an enemy of the govern
ment. The course pursued by northern DEM
ocrats in the last session of Congress, should
be lesson to every loyal man in Wisconsin,
They left no occasion unimproved to embarrass
the government. and throw obstacles in the
way of vigorous prosecution of the war. The
disorganigers in the last Congress, were the
tory Democrats.
Let every elector be sure that he cast his
vote for member of the Legislature, who is
committed to the support of the administration
One of the candidates for the Legislature in
this county, occupies no doubtful position; he
is the candidate of the Union Republicans
The other candidate stands-nobody can tell
where, except that his nomination was concoct.
ed by tories, and he consents to take the nomi
nation on the tory platform.

Vote the Regular Republican Union
Ticket.

Every consistent Union Republican, will
try's peril, the only safe course, is to vote for
the regular nominees. This not only applies
to national and Legislative officers, but also to
county officers. No party, or number of per-
sons, holding the same principles, can expect to
succeed without an organization. The Union
Republicans in this county, have an organiza-
ton; through that organization candidates have
been placed before the people, Now every
man, who is Republican in principle, and who
votes against any one, or more candidates nom
mated by the Union Republicans, helps the
cause of the enemy. He does PRECISELY what
the butternut democracy desire to have him do :;
their chief design, especially in this county be-
ing to divide the vote of Republican Union men
1t will not do to say, that the Democrats, have
put in nomination good Republicans and quail
ned Tor office and therefore there is no impro>
priety in their being voted for by Republicans.
No republican has right to give his influence
or his vote, to divide and weaken an organiza-
ton, to which he processes to be united in prin,
ciple. 1t is in accordance with the genius OF our
institutions, that whatever good is sought to be
achieved by the people, must be gained by
united action divisions among men, having
the same object in view, are always disastrous
in the end.
The Democrats of this county have nomipa-
ted county ticket, making it ND larolv ofl
Republicans. Why were so many Republicans
put on the ticket Was it because these Dem.
ocrats really prefer to have Republicans elect, |

A FACT.-In looking over the nominations
made by the Democrats in the several counties
in this State, it will be seen that in those coun-
ties where the Democrats have a clear and un-
disputed majority they have proposed no union
tickets, nor have they agreed to any. They
have invariably, in all such cases, nominated
an out and out democratic ticket. But in eve
ry county where the democracy are ev identity
in the minority, there they have gotten up IN ;
ion nominations-so called. In view of these
facts, what are the professions of union, on the
part of proslaverv democracy worth? When
ever they can get along without the help of I'M
ION Republicans, they have everything their
own way; while in localities where their
strength to elect their own candidates is doubt
full, they contrive to get up union tickets, with
the hope of dividing the union Republicans, and
make all they can out of such division.
This kind of political action, is perhaps more
apparent in Wisconsin than in most other
states The people of the State were sufficient
" auped by this practice last fall and it is be-
heyed the game cannot be so successfully play
ed this fall

Dexo,conrDay to " our Country.

We earnestly entreat every Union Repubi-
can in Kenosha County, to devote one day
Tuesday next to the welfare of his country
Never was there period in our history. more
critical than the present If the enemies of the
administration and of the war, triumph III the
elections to be held on Tuesday next, it may be
the last general election ever held under the
protection of the old American flag That the
Union is in imminent danger, cannot, must not
be concealed. This danger at the present hour
is not SO much from the rebel armies IN the
Confederate States, as from tory enemies at
home. If the loyal people of the north had
none but southern traitors to deal with, we
should have no fears of the result. Unfortunate
IL we have enemies of the ULion in the north
men who seek to embarrass the administration;
to destroy the energies of the government, and
to bring the war to an inglorious terminal on.
These enemies are capable of greater mischief,
than all the combined forces OF southern rebel
dom. eas
What would the tory democracy of the north
do, if it had the power in Congress? 1t is fair
in the past, to show what it would do. if it had
the power Look at the records of the last SEES
sion of Congress, and also the preceding one.
There was hardly single measure introduced
| in Congress for carrying on the war with more
efficiency, that was not opposed and voted
against by the great body of the Democratic
members, both in the Senate and House of Rep
resentatiyes The democrats In Congress, ais
most uniformly manifested determined oppo-
sition to putting the government into position
for dealing more effectpal blows upon the re-
hellion. Don't hurt the rebels, WAS the con-
slant policy or the Democratic Representatives
in Congress. Whoever questions these oharg,
es, let him consult the ayes and noes as they
appear on the journals of Congress. If there
fore, the democrats, who were In minority in
} the last Congress, voted against war supplies
aud exhibited tactious opposition to the ad.
mnistration, it is easy to conclude what they
would do, were they in the majority.
1t is fearful to contemplate what would be
the condition of our country, were the supplies
of the army cut OFF, ana our soldiers as eonse
quence Withdrawn from the field of action
Would it bring peace? The South would still
be our determined enemies; would scorn GU
powardicei and be more arrogant thsn eyer.
the Democratic policy as exhibited in the las
session of Congress, should prevail the Unior
would of necessity be dissolved, anarchy ant

+ REMEMBER, That Democratic yic:o-
~ in Wisconsin, or any other northern State,
will cheer the hearts Of southern rebels, and
add new strength and courage to the rebellion
Remember, That the London Times, and ev,
cry tory hater of the American Union in Europe,
will hail every democratic victory, as an evi.
dence of the weakness of our government, and
as arguments for the recognition of the South
ern Confederacy.
Remember, That every vote cast against
John F. Potter, is blow struck against the
vigorous prosecution of the war. Every rebel
in the south would vote against Mr.. Potter and
for Mr.. Brown, if he had the privilege at the
ballot box

a Few Last Words.

This is the last paper we shall issue
before election, and it will be seen that
we have devoted its columns, nearly
to the object Of urging upon our read
ers the necessity and duty of voting
that ticket by which, alone, the hands
Of the administration, and the princi>
plies of Free Government throughout
the world will be strengthened. We
urge upon the loyal voters of Kenosha
County, without regard to past politi-
cal differences, to
REMEMBER-that the duty of vot-
ing on Tuesday next cannot be shirkI
ed or neglected, without infinite disS
credit, and danger to our Free Insti-
buttons. The Rebels and Traitors, in
arms against this Government are now
looking to the result of this election,
with even more solicitude than our
selves.
REMEMBER-That the success of
the mongrel ticket, labelled "Union y
got up by the Ryan Address Peace
Democrats, will give new courage to
jeff Davis and his minions, and ems
courage them to persist in this unholy
rebellion, with the hope that the friends
Of slavery and secession in the North
are gaining strength to materially aid
their wicked cause, and thus indefi-
nitely prolong the war.
REMEMBER-That the defeat OF
JOHN f. POTTER, will be hailed
throughout the seeded States as the
surest sign that the cause of disunion
and secession is gaming friends among
the people of the loyal States, and that
their wicked and parricidal acts are
approved by us.
REMEMBER-That Jas. S. Brown
has endorsed the Ryan Address Plat
form, which many of the ablest and
most strict, partisan democrats, hith-
erto, have declared to be disloyal and
reasonable!
REMEMBER-That the old mon.
arches of Europe, who would bail the
destruction of this Free Republic, as
the downfall of Free, Self Government
and as giving death blow to all oppol
sition to the iron rule ofsKlngs and
Emperors, will hail the defeat ct the Adj
mlnistration candidates in the Novem-
Der election as the surest signs of the
ultimate destruction of the best and
treest government the sun ever shone
upon
REMEMBER-That every candi>
date on the Republican Union Ticket
is tried and true friend of the Ad-
mlnlstration-ot the vigorous prosecu.
ton of the wal, and the early suppress
sion of the Rebellion. And finally
REMEMBER-To go to the polls
on Tuesday next, and vote for JOHN
F. POTTER, for Congress for B. T.
Hatch for Assembly for Hudson Fox
for Sheriff for E, W. Blinn for Clerk
of Court; for H. Ell. Tarbell for Regis
ter; for Peter H. Wood for Treasurer;
for Ira Peirce for Clerk of Board; for
Jason Lothrop Jr, for Surveyor; for
Harvey Durkee, for Coroner and you
will then have the consolation of re-
membering that you did.your duty as
loyal citizens and friends of the I'M
ion!
