On the same platform, and zeeu 20 repre-

On the eastern portice Of the capitol 3;

One represents War, with sword in hand;

that Is TO put down this rebellion il the

| friends, l do rot wish 70 change our Pres

the 6eId. Lincoln s1its ne, 50 does Sew

and Farragut.

changes, before We gut the right menin the

Secretary who will keep our relations with
other nations, matter OF the greatest mo-
ment, in better trim than Seward. Many
ind fault with Stanton. They say he Is
rude aud overbearing, but who questions
his honesty or his ability LOOK At or
vast armies raised, equipped, transported
over great distances, every soldier 10 oe
provided every day with his punctua! rA-
rienz, and consider the vast and multiplied
agencies which must be provided Il Is
Stanton Who presides over s!l this nschin-
erv; sud he works II well. Vast as his
duties are, he neglects nothing. There he
fz, always at his post, earnest and iadefat-
iEabIe. Ny friends, if you turn ont Lincoln,
Eou turn ont Seward sud Stanton, Snd all
the other members Of the Cabinet. Can
auv one assure you that Grant aud Sner-
mar will net 20 also I very much fsar
there ould be clean sweep rot Cciy IN

than one disAfected MAJOR General, who
has been retired, like Mcclellan, Who Eould
be sure 70 be restored. What further
A clean sweep of all other civil ofncers,
f-om our foreign ministers down. This is
the rule fully established, first introduced
By q Democratic Administration, and never
siace omitted We complain of frauds Aad
peculstious in our officers; but how shall
We stand q new sad hungry swarm?
There Is another most weiEhty conzid-
Grafton against snch 3 change, sud 1t Is
this:
If in November next it should happen
that tn people displace the present Ad-
miuiztration, what would be the result:
That Administration would be paralyzsd.
Set aside By the people, their services ig-
nored, their policy condemned, they would
lose heart and confidence in themselves
aud they would lose the confidence and
support of the country. What capitalist
would lend another dollar, what soldier
would risk his life in another battle, for
people who condemn or seem TO condemn,
the war? An outgoing 4duinistratien,
whose policy has been condemned, Is pow
erlesz; and so from November TO March
nothing would be done. Precious time lost,
perhaps never TO be regaised- Have you
| forgotten the fatal delays OF the outgoing
/ Administration a of Buchanan, when tor
| ucuttz the rebels we're "let alone p The
| country never vzs in such peril as IN that
six months. Our escape vas Providential.
NJ friends, n view OF such obvious re-
suits, What Iae lover Of the Union viii
consent TO make = change now! Is there
auT nan so welded 10 his party as 70 foe-
ze; what he owes to his county? Alasl
there are many, many trae Uuion men, who
have personal preference for Democrats
/ candidate, and many others wao have a
personal dislike to Lincoln. We call this
class War Democrats; they incline 20 fol
/ low their party instincts and their persorzl
| feelings
For myself, have lost sight Of al party
| ideas since this = ar broke out. II Novsu
Der, 1850, no persuasion could indaee me
TO vote for Lincoln. In November, 1854
Iif live to cast = vote, il shall oe for hin.
Not vote for him because he did not be-
long TO ny party in 1850? Not vote for
him because our political crseed do nos
coincide. We agree il the great business
nov in hand, and that iz enough for me,
eShau ask the brave soldier, who tights
By my side, in the eause. of mankind, il
oar cresds sgree?"
Nay, uay, ny good friends, no oae can
persuade me 10 vote Lincoln out. 1 An
thoroughly satisfied Of the fatal policy Of
change, so thoroughly that Lincoln him
coin himself could not, by any personal
