How Car; Tou DOItf

How can any man who has decent res
pect for himself, an ordinary regard for his
neighbors, Or a spark Of love for his country
vote for Abraham Lincoln?
He is devoid Of the statosmanship necces-
sary to manage the affairs Of the Country.
lie is a profane storyteller, an Inbred
bulfoon and vulgar backguard
He has violated the Constitution, di4re-
garded his oath Of Office, trampled upon the
laws, ana set at naught all the sacred rights
Americans hold to personal security and
private property.
lie has SO managed the affairs of govern.
ment az to unite the South in secession, and
to divide the North by arraying his thieves
and hrclings against the honest aud Union.
loving people Of the Country.
He has changed the war from Contest
for the restoration Of the Union to crusade
for niggers and plundcr.
His tanaticism has dcsoated half millor
heaGthstones, covered the land with greer
graves and made five hundred thouaanC
widows and a million orphans.
Amid the means of dying, tho shrieka o
the wounded and the horrors of the unbur
led dead ho enjoys vulgar negro songs.
He has taxed w on all we have, on tn
nccessaries Of life, on what we buy and OF
what We sell.
He has destroyed the liberty of spcccl
and Of the press and trampled upon tn
elective franchise.
He is opcnly opposed to the Union as on
Fathers made it, and proclaims for Uno
founded upon the visionary ideas Of dis
union aboiitionists.
He has declared that he will listen to n
terms Of peace which do not embrace III
abandonment of slavery.
He has, by his determination TO plac
negro soldiers on an equality with whit
soldiers, compelled oight thousand men VIII
have been imprisoned in southern prison
for eighteen months to take an oath of allegi
ance TO the rebel government to save thci
lives.
For the same reason he has caused lO, 90,
brave men TO die within the last fix month
in southern prisons.
He has run the country hopelessly in debt
taxed ua beyond all induance, depreclate,
the currency, ruined the national credit an,
pauperized the country
lie conscripts poor men into the army an,
allows wealthy men to buy themselves out
He has covered tho land with oficchold
ers to devour the substance of the people.
lie has no bright spot on his record, n,
noble actions to point to, no good actions {,
commend him to the people, nothing tha
should induce Union men to vote for him
How can any hopest, well-wisher of hi
country vote for him?

1t is reported by telegraph that 5000
Of our soldiers, after enduring eighteen
months Of close confinement, have taken
the oath Of allegiance to the Confederate
Government If this be true who has the
country to thank for this great loss? Who,
but Abraham Lincoln, because the rebels
refused to give up one or two hundred ne
gro soldiers, has prolonged the captivity of
$4,000 Of our brave boys in the various
prison houses and cattle yards ofthe South.
The people, as we'll as the army, will hold
Abraham Lincoln responsible for this an
fortunate catastrophe, His attemptto con-
vert the war for the Union into negro
crusade, is the cause for this calamity.
