But We MUST STAND TOGETHER.
But here let us pledge to each other
that we will set aside our personal pre-
ferences, and 90 together in All un-
broken column for the nominee Of the
Union Convention. We can safely
trust that convention. 1t will be com
posed Of good men and true, who will
examine, and sift, and analyze the ma-
terial before them, and, discarding the
chaf and dross, nothing will be offered
for your suffrage but sound grain and
the pure metal.
NOT BORN IN THE WOODS TO BE SCAR
Ed DY OWLS.
Be no longer deceived and frighten-
ed by their watchword and cry Of
F." Abolitionist," Abolitionist!" 1t
is all the argument they have ever had.
You have been frightened out Of your
wits so often with that stale word, that
raw head and bloody bones, that i'm
aginary bigger in the closet. until it
certainlyis time TO see that it is only
the password Of thieves and traitors.
Their big man, Beauregard, who has
since proven to be big fizzle, actual
ly issued a military order commencing
and recommending them to call us
AbolitiOnist! And see how every lazy
negro amalgamator traitor, and con
servative, in our midst obeyed the Or
der They make the issue; they com
pei us 10 take sides for our country or
for slavery.
SLAVERY IS ARMS.
They publish to the world that both
cannot exist together Which are you
for perpetuating? Even if slavery
was right four years ago, it is not
right now. All of its advocates have
turned traitors to their country, 10 the
welfare of mankind, and the holy
principles OF justice and religion
The rebellion is slavery in arms,
slavery on horseback, slavery on foot,
slavery raging on the battlefield, slay-
cry raging on the quarterback, rob
bing, destroying, burning, killing in
order to uphold this candidate for pow
er amongst the nations Of the earth.
Its legislation is simply slavery in sta
tutes. Its diplomacy is slavery in
pretended ambassadors slavery in
cunning letters; slavery in cozening
promises. Say what you will, try to
avoid it if you can, you are compelled
to admit that this candidate for pow
ers is nothing else than organized slav-
cry. Which now in its madness, sur
rounded by it criminal clan, and led
by its felon chieftains, braves the civil
ization of the age? Therefore any re-
cognition of this power will be recog-
milton Of slavery itself, with welcome
and benedicuon, imparting to it new
consideration and responsibility; and
worse still, securing to it new oppor
tunity and foothold for the supremacy
which it now openly proclaim"
| BEWARE OF WOLNE IN NSHEEPS CLOTHING
Take warning in time, do justice,
obey the precepts of that still small
voice within your own conscience it
is u monitor that will not deceive you;
it is the cloud by day, and a pillar
of fire by night; follow it and fear no
harm.
Do not heed those scoundrels who
are now trying in this critical time to
sour you against your President
against your own defenders aud yout
country, and trying by assertion to
make you believe him tyrant. They
are liars. Let them show q single
act of tyranny on his part. Their OBJ
Iiect is to deceive you. You never
knew a traitor to openly avow that he
was a traitor. No, he carries hispoint
by pretending to be your friend, but
will insinuate against your laws, pre-
judice you against your country and
its authorities until they think they
have led sufficient strength into their
camp, and then they strike. Beware,
beware, vote for no man that has q
Just suspicion attached to him-it
is as easy to get men that are un-
doubted.
The Government does not propose
to take the negroes of loyal men with
out compensation, and do any of you
want traitors to be paid for their slaves

WHAT OUR GOVERNOR is TRYING TO DO
Our Governor is now, and has beer
trying to get the Government to post
pone the drafting of negroes; and is
promising that, if they will give him
time, he will fill the quota Of $4,000
men that is due from kentucky with
white men, showing clearly that he sets
more value on negro lives than he
does on your lives; hewill sell you out
or put you in harms way, to save thu
negro.
In counting population for repre-
sentation the negro is counted, bu
when it comes to defending the natioI
he is not counted! White man, poo
map, take care ofyoursclvcs, and don
let the negro aristocrats deceive yo'
any longer.
TOGETHER WORK AND TRIUMPH.
This is not a political contest it j
a defensive struggle for life, Let u
all work together, and ssmake no ne1
issues with Union men about slavery
OF favorite men, or anything else, Al
though l believe that slavery has caus
