cleared away, and upon the vote Of her
c,iz.us At home Pennsylvania s,sods BY
the Government Of our fathers. while her
brave sons 10 the field will not give less
than twelve thousand msjori,y for the
good cause. The last hope, therefore, Of
the supporters Of General Mcclellan has
disappeared, aud the only resul: Of cou.
tinulDg to sustain him is TO give Aid and
comfort to the Rebellion by Increasing the
appearance of disunion among ourselves.
General Sheridan deal, terrible blow
to treason On "Wednesday, aud every pa
triot's heart thrilled With j,y upon hear
iug it; but . great msj jorisy for Ababam
Lincoln 10 Peonyivania would be far
more fatal to the armed conspiracy against
the Uuion and the Constitution. Every
vote for our tried AID faithful President
will psr.lyze some s!m raised 10 shoot
down tie flag, while every vote for the
base surrender 1t Chicago, and the men
sho carry its white d,g. will encourage
some rebel to shoot another northern SOL
der. The ticks; nominated BY Vsllsn-
digham, Wood aod Seymour is nov black
with treason, and after it is voted will be
red With the blood of cur brothers & Citing
for Us. Tie war has existed for the las,
year only BY reason Of our divisions, and
is cou,inuance to-day is solely owing to
the activity Of the disuuion party Of the
north aud the platform Of its conveusicn.
While suy hope remained Of the election
of lis candidates, plausible excuses might
be found BY misguided men Tor giving
