The Rebels an d our Presidential Election

thus refers to our Presidential election /:
cit is singular to remark that these
States have not only profound interest
in that foreign election (though without
votes to isfuence it), but are exercising
most controlling poacer an deciding It
They also are fighting in the Yankee
Presidential campaign, after their own
manner. If Grant is engineering for

rolling for him about Atlanta, on the 9th.

gone over to stump the State of Mary
land and Pennsylvania for the peace
party. A certain war politician, named
Hunter, had engagements to meet Early
on the stump, but it is feared he will
back out of them and their is probably
nothing to prevent our eloquent advocate
of peace from sweeping those States" J"
Notwithstanding the air of levity in
those words of the Examiner, there is
more truth in them than our Copperheads
will care to acknowledge.

An Appeal.

The Republicans and War Democrats
to all staunch friends of the Union
cause, BY whatever political names they
are called-to all good citizens who here
tcfore have checrfully sustained the Gov
ernment in its efforts to conquer its enc
mies-we make an earnest aud solemn ap-
peal to heal all past divisions. and, in
spite of the apathy aud lukewarmness Of
the past few months, now to close the
rxuks, and heuceforward to march should
er to shoulder TO the great struggle OF
November next. Let there be no disafTec
tion in the only party competent to save
the country. Let such alienation as now
exist be straightway forgotten. If the Balti-
more Convention WAS held too early, it is
too late now to remedy that misfortune
If the Presidential candidate was not the
best that might have been named, it is
too late now to change our line of battle
in face Of the enemy. The one aud un-
divided duty of all loyal men is now to
unite cordially, strenuously, enthusiast
cally TO give victory to the platform and
candidates Of Baltimore, and overwhelm-
iag defeat to the platform and candidates
Of Chicago. Between the two, the choice
ia between patriotism and treason, between
Slavery and Liberty, between a country
and our country, between Jefferson Davis
and Abraham Lincoln, "Choose yet this
day whom We will serve!"
The prospect Of victory is brilliant
The outrageous character Of the Chicago
platform, and the sunshiny effect of our
late victories by land and sea, have re-
kinled the old enthusiasm in loyal
breasts. We summon all our friends to
hard work Organize! The cause dem
auds every mans best service. Let every
loyalist with tongue in bis head 60 to
every doubtful man in his neighborhood
and reason the case with him earnestly
and candidly' All men who will listen
10 reason can be made to see the turpItude
of the Chicago scheme for the overthrov
Of the Republic. Nor are ministers 10
their pulpits to be exempt from this need
ed service. Let them take fit and early
opportunity to make known the Christian
duties of citizen to his country in such
a crisis as this. If any pew-holder is
afraid of politics in the pulpit, and stays
away on that account, let not the minister
be ostwitted BY this poor stratagem, bu
inmediutely visit him at his store OF
house-in no case letting any man End
corner Of refuge from the searching argu
ment and appeal. If every good citizer
shall do his duty for the next two months

and Liberty, in which to reflect on the
sweetness Of having served ones country

Editor Jeffersonian :-Will you be Sc
kind as to publish the following, viz =
The sentiment of the Soldiers, not only
here in Camp Parole, but through the
entire Army.
1 suppose Democratic politicians are
counting on large Mcclellan vote in the
Army; but when the time comes to act
in the matter they will find where the
army stands. The soldiers are not blind;
they know who are their friends aud who
are not. Mcclellan was once their friend
and favorite.
Thpy remember that the same party,
which has used most strenuous measures
To take away their right to citizenship,
their privilege to vote, now trys to court
their favor by inserting an ambiguous
clause. as the last plank in a rotten plat
form. They know, too, that the party,
wRich %odld elect Mcclellan, is pledged
to render futile all their past efforts to re-
store the Union. As they remember their
labOrs for the past three years-as they
think Of the treasure that has been spent,
and bring to view their comrads, whose
lives have been sacrificed in the struggle
they are disposed to say to these disloy-
al apologists for treason, stand out OF
our way-Grant, lead us on--our labors
shall not be unavailing. BE assured, the
army knows which way the wind blows
they will vote while they ght,-and they
will vote for Lincoln while they fight for
the Union.
