An Appeal,

On that day the people Of these
States will decide whether thoir
sympathies and interests are link
cd with those of the Union, or
whether they shall be cast away in
the fearful hazard Of rebellion.
Those In sympathy with the for
mer will vote for the Union ticket,
and those of the latter the Demo.
cratic ticket. In the decision OF
this momcntors issre the people
of Seneca county take part and
cast their verdict. 1t is simply q
question whether the people of this
county are in favor ofmaintaining
tho old and glorious Union OF
these States; whether they will
stand by the Government; wheth.
er they are willing and ready to
defend la ", order, truth, justice,
freedom and constitutional liber.
ty to tho end, that this accursct
rebellion may he put down and the
supremacy of the Government in
all it's departments vouchsaiod aud
secured to all coming generations,
or whether they mean that rebel.
lion shall triumph and with it an.
srchy, confusion, desolation, dam.
nation, and civil war In the North.
Those who wish the latter will
vote for NOBLE, SHAW, IIEILMAN
aud CHrLDs. and those who wish
the former will vote for BrcKLAHp,
STEVENS, WErRicK and SHkIvER.
Those who desire public tranquil.
ity and II permanent peace res.
tored to the land, will vote for the
Union ticket, and those who wish
10 destroy our peace aud happi-
ness az " people, and to bring on
u long aud bloody strife, will vote
for tue Democratic ticket The
success OF the Democratic ticket
in Ohio next Tuesday would do as
much IN strengthening the cour.
age aud hopes of the rebels rs a
victory over GRANT, SHERMAN OF
SHERIDAN, and would disheartcn
and discourage our soldier. in tho
field as much as il either Of these
Generals should suffer defeat.
The effect of the election of the
Union ticket will strengthen our
arms and disarm the rebel cause.
IL will tell tho soldiers that VIC
mean to stand by them in their
manly efforts to crush out armed
treason against the Government.
That we will rejoice with them in
our victories and mourn with them
in our defeats. When you brush
away all the thin drapery of sec.
ond-handed and worn.out Jug
glery and deception. and look at
the real substantial, and unmista.
kable issue, you will find II has
been entirely unchanged by the
nomination OF proicssod war
General upon peace platform. 1t
is the old issue which has divided
parties ever since hostilties com.
nenco6; it is the same issue,
which in every State election wo
have gone to tho jury upon the
old question, whether you will
prosecute this war until the rebels,
shorn OF their military strength,
bow Internationally to the courts
and jurisdiction OF the General
Government, or whether you will
make peace on the terms which the
rebel authorities have affirmed
and still affirm to be their only ul.

enoe OF the secoded Statesa That
is the question, stripped of all dis
guise, and it i, unnecessary for a
sane man to 80 into any analysis,
either OF the platform or the candi.
date, for the purpose of making
this discovery. The election of
the Democratic ticket means a base,
cowardly, unconditional peace.
Such a peace means submission
and surrender to tho rebels. 1t
