Storey COUNTY UNION TICKET.
WILL THE PEOPLE STAND BY
THE GOVERNMENT.


WILL THE PEOPLE STAND BY
THE GOVERNMENT.
VIII the people keep up their pluck and
fight the thing out? It all depends upon
their steadfastnesS Of purpose. II Richmond
does not fall sooner, the Army Of the West
will finally make its way to the back door.
II none Of the Eastern Rebel army comes
here we will wear this one out before the
close of the season, and it is but a matter Of
time when the entire force OF the enemy must
waste away. VIII the people hold out
Thus writes General Hogan in private
letter. "Win the people hold OUT" 1t
is pregnant question. 1t comes TO us as
the voice of the army. With what anxiety
are they straining to catch the response.
Some of them went forth when first the
tocsin of alarm was sounded. Bravely
have they combatted against the angry foe
who so causeleSSly flew to arms, and right
well have they pushed him back. When
our bows FIRST rallied TO the defense of our
insulted Flag, the glorious old banner had
been disgracefully lowered in nine States;
since that time it has been again elevated
in them all. Then the Rebels de6antly
held us in check, and seriously threatened
us, at Columbus, Kentucky, and Manas-
sas, Virginia. Now, while the armies in
the East are still threatening each other in
Virginia, it is the Rebel, not the Ma
rional Capital that IS seriously menaced.
And the grand old heroes OF the South
west have cleared the Mississippi Valley
of the last vestige of an army able to cope
with them for its supremacy. have driven
them from the plateau dividing the west
from the east, and have set down at the
headwaters of the tributaries of the Allan
nc Ocean, to closely besiege the only army
that seriously contests our right to con-
troll the South Atlantic States. VIII the
People hold out while the rest of the work
is being done:
The fertile Valley OF the Mississippi has
been enriched with the blood of Freedoms
uoblest sons. Their bones bleach in every
State, monuments of love and devotion to
a generous and free country. They count
ed il an honor to sacrifice their lives to
save their country. They willingly barred
their breasts to receive the blow aimed at
Freedom. Liberty was assailed, and III
their own person did they freely pay the
price her possession entails. Have those
lives been sacrificed for naught: Was
the blood of Liberty's sons vainly spilled:
II so, it will be simply because those who
have been left behind, expecting to profit
by the magnanimity and devotion of their
brave defenders, are too despicable and
mean to complete the work they so nobly
begun. Shall the widow and the orphan
saw: You suffered those dear to me to be
forever wrested from my embrace. and then
forsook them, and left them and their
country to an untimely fate, when had
YOU but rallied as you should, had you
been as worthy and noble as they, their
sacrifice would have been reeompensed;
but now, through your cowardice, Ma
TONS life is lost, together with the lives Of
thousands who wished not to survive it
And shall this be echoed by those now
periling their all for us, and they be
allowed to point to Us, when the old ship
shall finally be hurled on the rocks around
which it has 50 long been sweeping, and
tell US, that had we but manned the yards,
she would not now be careening, and her
fragments going down into the abyss
yawning to receive her: The tree of
Freedom has been watered with many
tear, and its soil invigorated with many a
drop of blood-shan traitor hands now
tear that tree from its roots. and we do
nothing to avert it VIII the people
hold out Reader, you are one of the
people, what say you: Your vote on
the Sth of November is just as important
in sustaining the Government, and making
its strength felt against the rebels, as
though you were on the battlefield.
Grant, Sheridan, and Sherman have men
enough at their command to fight the
rebels with powder and bulletS-but the
Government requires your support as well
at the ballot-box. A paper ballot cast in
favor of sustaining the Administration In
its endeavors to put down the rebellion,
will carry as much weight as though it
were leaden bullet shot at the heart OF
the leading traitors of the South. Are
YOU true enough to your country to do it:
If so, RESOLVE TO VOTE FOR ABRAHAM
LINCOLN AND ANDREW JOHNSON.
