why Gov. Seymour does not
Resist the Draft.

Able McMasters, of New York city,
addressed a coPperhead meeting at Du-
buque, Iowa, on the 23d ult., in which
be said, as reported in the Daily Times
of that city:
"He had been frequently asked, since
he came here, why Seymour had not op,
posed the draft He would say that the
Governor had done all 1t qcas prudent
to do. In short time there would be a
convention held, which would adopt res
olutions opposed to the war and against
forcing people to fight. If man wanted
to fight let him join the army, but NO
man should be forced to enter the service
of the despots iu power. Gentlemen,
Governor Seymour will act up to these
resolutions. .......
alt is not safc,' said the speaker, Ito
oppose the draft now. New York is full
of federal bayonets. We had riot, but
the taxpayers, moany of aohons are dene-
0crats, a0iN haze to pay for the destruc.
tton of property, and 1t aoiN come hard
on them. As question of brute force it
is net policy to make war on the govern,
ment now. We tried 1t once and ii did
not pay.'"

We want them to concede that the

Treason Ten Years Ago.
"PLATTE CITY, Nav 29th, 1858

fLATTE CITY, May Z9th, 1905.
"Hon. jeff. Davis Permit me to in,
troduce my friend Judge Samuel Treat,
of St. Louis, 10 this State. Judge Treat
is Gentleman of talent and a politician
of the Modification, Secession and High
Treason School to uhich I belong. He
understands the true position of parties
and men in this State. I desire you will
receive him with kindness and courtesy,
listen to him and act as you think best.
Yours truly, D. R. ARoHIsoN."
Thus ten years ago, wrote to Jefferson
Davis, the man who, in 1856, led the bor-
der rufians into Kansas. At that early
period he understood Davis, and Davis
understood him. The proof accumulates
that the professed democratic party has
been the party of treason for full gen,
Grafton. Under special pretences of ia
voring government by the people, that
party has been endeavoring to overthrow
popular institutions in this country in
order to exalt slaveholdiug aristocracy.

George w. woodward ON For
eignerS.

Citizens of foreign birth, please read
the record of the Democratic candidate
for Governor, and make up your minds
then how you would like such man to
govern you. 1t is not our words, We re-
fer you to the record of the Convention
held In 1887 to amend the Constitution
of Pennsylvania. See vol. 5, p. 446 of
the official report of the Convention. He
absolutely proposed an amendment to the
Constitution "to prevent any foreigners
who may arrive in this State after the 4th
of July, 1S41, from acquiring the right
to UOte or to hold office in this Common
,cealh." E
Such is the Record. He dare not and
his friends cannot wipe it out. He was
opposed to letting those happening to be
born on the "other side of the water"
either vote or hold office in this country.
and he gave bis reasons for it. They are
as follows: - g.
at is my honest impression that We
DO but squander those privileges in con-
ferring them upon every individual who
chooses to come and take them.
"Why should We open these great po-
litical privileges to every species OF char
acter that may light on our shores ? They
(foreigners) have no sympathy in CON-
mon with US they have no qualifications
to render them fit recipients of these high
political privileges.
II believe that if the time has not yet
come, when it will be lndlspensably nec-
essary either for this body or some other
body of this State, or of the United States,
to inquire whether it is not right to put
some plan In execution by which foreign
ers should be prevented from controlling
our elections, and brow-beatlng American
citizens at the polls"

STRAINING is HURTFUL.
STRAINING is HURTFUL.
STRAINING Is HTRTFUL.

Cramps, Spasms, wrenching pains attend
ing an evacuation from the bowels, from a
dose Of medicine, iG a proof that the medicine
thus taken is injurious 1t is not the guam
tity of faces expelled that ensures cure.
Fills and purgalive medicines made of aloes
and other drastic cathartics are injurious, in
asmuch as purgation fiom these obnoxious
drugs is induced only from the irritation they
produce on the mucus membrane. They have
no influence on the liver or chyle, but are car
ried to the lower bowels. and by their irrita-
tion evoke an evacuation. DR.. Railways
Pills are the only safe purgative to take.-
These pills act on the liver and other secre-
tionS; hence in their operations no siraining
or wrenchng pains follow the stools instead
of being thin and watery, are natural; it is
the absence of the diseased humors which
these imperfect pills fail to eliminate from the
blood, that causes thin watery discharges /;
and hence when the patient has an evacuation
he has to strain without producing the de-
sired result, a dose of Railways Pills will
insure a thorough evacuation; this accom-
plished, no further physic is required.

SINGULAR the Mexican war

a law permitting soldiers to vote in camp.
who were absent in defence of their coun
try. No one objected to this, as it was a
Just law. But now, when our soldiers
are not so far frou home, aud engaged in
a far more glorious cause even, the right
of voting is denied them by copperhead
Judges. Is it not singular how policy
will change matters and things! But
there is a way in which to overcome this
grand scheme of keeping Union votes out
of the ballot,box, and that is by giving
furlough to the soldiers for them to re-
turn home to vote.

importance to us the rebelsl to aid in stimu-

against their own Government and in de-
moralizing and disintegrating society in that
God abandoned country. y."-Richmond Engui-
Here we have candid admission of a
Rebel Organ that the democratic party
is of the utmost importance to the Rebel
lion. When will honest men see the
wickedness of the course they are pursu
ng in acting with the so-called Demo
cratic party? Almost every Southern
paper praises the course of that party.
and appeals to it's discouraged and dis.
heartened friends to persevere "little
longer" and the "diverson" making in
their behalf by their Northern brothers
will accomplish the success of the Rebel
lion. Honest Democrats, will you pause
and reflect? You would not, you could
not purposely aid and encourage this
bloody Rebellion Yet you are doing it
and 10 way that is most satisfactory anc
coDsoling to the rebels. We entreat yor
to reflect upon the consequences of th'
unthinking career you are pursuing, err
