NEW YoRK, Oct. z, 1868.
The beautiful October days are here. A
brilliant sky, and balmy atmosphere,
make life luxury. The subtle influences
Of the SUMS genial rays give buoyancy to
the spirits, aud send the blood bounding
In healthful currents throughout all its
artsrial realm. The scene presented in
this thronged metropolis is cheering and
animated. Men, driven hiiher and thither
BY the various impulses that give spring
to human activity, move with a quicker
and mere elastic step, more cheerful and
less care.Korn in mien. Fair ladies, joy
ous AMI happy IN demearOur, glide along
Broadway, dsintly picking their way
through tke crowded thOroughfare, while
their humber or less fortunate sisters, in
such habiliments as pinehing want may
give, also saunter forth to enjoy the pass
ing luxury Of these bright auiumnal hours.
Poverty is always next door neighbor TO
wealth, and here, as elsewhere, and al
ways,
:" Some haunt in rags, some hutter in broca5e.''
The steady advance in gold, which has
marked the transactions Of the past week,
iceasing last night at l47, produces few
erish state Of uncertainty in business cir
cles, and the tendency Of prices is upward,
especially on imported goods, for which
remittances have TO be made in gold. Yet
the activity of trade abstes not one j0t or
title, and stocks Of goods are melting
sway like dew before the rising sun.
Men rush on in their business career with
an energy and enterprise and confidence
without parallel. Who would think, in
viewing New York as she is to-day, that
woa, or want, or war, is anywhere depress-
sing, pinching, or desoleung any portion
Of EARTH teeming millions.
The elections TO como off next week ex-
cite uncommon interest as the result TO be
obtained By the mOmentsus issue ap-
proaches. All eyes are upon Ohio and
Pennsylvania, and the most intense solicit
tude for loyal triumPhs is INDUCED. This
is no ordinary political party strife or
scramble. Partisans who think IL skin 10
former political contests, deceive them
selves. A nations life is involved in the
issue. Let loyal results be reached in
Ohio and Pennsylvania, and an unenvia.
BILE position will be assigned TO the Cop
perhead enemies of the Republic as an un-
divided nationality. In vain may they
think to recover themselves. Their doom
will be sealed. Their names will stand
on the roll of infamy with the tories Nbthe
Revolution, snd the blue-light Federaiisis
who opposed the war of 1872. The issue
is not political. Il is the nations life.
Let every loyal man sTise 20 q true appre-
ciEtion of this great, this vital fact, and so
act, and so vste, as to save the life Of the
Republic, snd dorm its traitorous enemies
to pogerless disgrace and infamy for all
coming time. But the hour for words is
psst. Deeds now must accomplish the re-
sult. God grant that no loyal manin Ohio
and Pennsylyania will fsil TO give one
5av. and that day Tuesday next, to his
country.
IL Is gratifying to see and to know thst
Okiosns and Pennsylvanians abroad are
fastening home TO vote. know many
men here, who are making the journey to
Ohio and Pennsylvania, expressly and
solely to put in their loyal ballots. Hon
OF, praise and a grateful remembrance TO
these faithful men who thus do and sacri-
Zee for his country.
HereI must close, for I, too, must pre-
pare to commit myself to the swift railway
car, that may not fail of the glorious
privilege Of casting in my mite for ma
tons salvation, by giving hearty, en-
phatic vote for Brough and the country.
As q last word, in these closing hours,
before voting begins let q felioW-laborer
in the cause Of our common Union, urge
upon every loyal Buckeye, whom these
roads may reach, to be at the polls, and
secure others to be present with him, there
to do great and good deed for the ooun-
Try. And may God protect aud advance
the right. b.
