fkpe is in divided North. This might give them REIN
fcreements from Tennessee, Kentucky Maryland and
Missouri, while it would weaken With the draft
quietly enforced the enemy would be Respondent and
would make but little resistance have doubt but
the enemy are exceedingly anxious to hold out till afse
the Presidential election. They have many hopes from
its effect They hope for counter revolution. They
hope for the election of peace candidate In fact like
Micawber, they hope for Something to turn up Our
peace friends If they expect peace from separation
much mistaken 1t would be but the beginning Of war,
with thousands of Northern joining the South, be-
cause Of our disgrace in allowing separation. 70 haze
peace terms, the South would demand tho resor
ton Of their sayes already freed They would demand
indemnity for the losses sustained and they would de-
mand treaty which would make the North slave hun
tiers for the South They would demand pay for the
storaton Of every slave escaped to the NORTH.
Yours, truly is. GRANT.
I need make no comments on the above. You are
soldiers, and know Grant. We will make him Pres
dent some of these days. But hasten to close.
have said that man is known by the company
he keeps. Who is Geo. II. Pendeton, the so-called
Democratic candidate for Vice President? Remen-
Der that Harrison and Taylor died in the Presiden
cy and ii Mcclellan were elected he might die and
Pendleton become President. Who and what is he?
A man Of great wealth, ordinary talent, and no
moral principle-the rankest kind of Peace Cop
perhead, openly avowing his sympathy with the
South, a warm political ally of vallandigham and
Voorhies. He was nominated to please the Valan-
digham school of politics. And remember that if
you vote for Mcclellan you must vote for Pendle-
ton. And when you vote for Pendleton remember
that you vote for man who In his
seat in Congress, ala0cys voted against supplies for
the army and who alscays roted against appropria-
tons to pay eees youl This is not only matter Of
cord, but it has been Pendletons public boast
that he yet voted dollar for this and
gallant soldiers. Go stand by the graves of your
fellow comrades, envoke their ashes and then vote
for Pendleton, if yoa cam

of rebuke for JEFF. Davis and his fellow-rebcls in
vain for word in condemnation of the rebellion;
in vain for one word expressive of determination
to conquer peace; in vain for word Of encour-
agement for you feowsoldiers to 60 till victory
perches on your banners; in vain for one word in
regard to what they would do after jeff. Davis had
flung back their offers of peace with scorn in vain
for word of open honest positive declaration to
the Union at all hazards. There is any
amount of wordy abuse of Abraham Lincoln, but
not one word against JEFF Davis or his rebel associ
ates And McClellans Letter Of Acceptance The
whole thing is as transparent as the web that the
spider weayes to catch silly fies and written for
precisely the same purpose. From beginning to end
it talks Union, and yet the who wrote it allows
his name to be placed the same ticket with Gee.
Ell. Pendleton, an open and ayowed rebel sympathi-
zer It is just such composition school boy of
sixteen might write, full Of gcneralites asserting
line of policy, protesting nothing, deciding nothing
Soldiers we have won with blood the right to de-
mand that he who asks our votes shall be bold In
the avowal of his opinions any and all points of
public policy Geo. B. Mcclellan has not done this
Abraham Lincoln has.
Finally Asking you still to bear ir mind that
a man is best known by the company ht keeps, let
me ask and answer the auestion-who will vote for
Mcclellan
All men in the North who openly or secretly SYM
pathize with the rebels will vote FOR him.
All who have discouraged enlistments and resist
ed drafts will vote for him.
All who have joined armed and oath-bound Sc
cret lodges to resist the efforts of the Administra-
ton, win vote for him
Every rebel who has been sent North Of the Ohio,
and has secured residence, win vote for him.
Every man who always abuses Lincoln and never
abus@ JEFF. Davis, will vote for him
Every man who loves his party better than he
loves his country win vote for himl
Evs1y man who has rejoiced over rebel victories,
and been gloomy and silent yours, win vote for
him
Soldiers. are you willing, after covering your
selves with glory as with garment, to link your
selves with these enemies of the you have SO

exhort you te turn back and read again and again,
