Union ticket, and the
HYPOCRISY.

The "Peace Sneaks" clamor for
peace while avowing themselves for
Northern rebellion. They pretend
to weep over the sacrifice of blood
and treasure made by the loyal peo-
pie of the North, and III which they
have had no part, yet propose rs n
remedy to give up all for which those
sacrifices were made, and to render
far greater sufferings inevitable by
adding to the Southern rebellion,
now so nearly subdued, gigantic
Northern rebellion or free fight from
the very contemplation of which hu-
manity shrinks appalled,. They groan
ostentatiously under the burden Of
our present debt, which is but ten per
cent on the value of our property,
yet propose as remedy to add to it
the rebel debt, thus doubling it at
once, an expense which would carry
the country through three years more
of war. They clamor at the Rcpub-
lican party for not having enforced
the Monroe doctrine by war on
NhiiC VIC ilutt Oit itb-
ell war on our hands, yet by their own
platform repudiate il wholly, because
their "shcnt-per- shent" owner, August
Belmont, also holds stock in the Aus
trian empire established in Mexico
They omit from their platform the
old fashioned Democratic plank in
favor of the rights of Irishmen and
other naturalized citizens and tor tho
encouragement of emigration, because
the same Belmont has lashed the Dem
ocratic party to the ear of Ireland''
oppressor. Strange anomaly. The
owners of the British debt, and o
the London y ines, now, through Bel
mont and the "Democratic' machine
seek to control even the votes of thu
Fenian Brotherhood. How long will
the champions of Young Ireland anC
the oppressors of Old Ireland thu'
trot in the same harness?

day to your Country
Voters OF Uaucoekt

Before you vote next Tuesday, we
ask you to carefully review the posi-
tiop Of affairs, and to consider we'll
responsibility that attaches to you as
free electors,
Tue war now desoloting the coun-
try has already lasted three and q
half years Burdens heavy to bear
have been imposed upon us--taxes,
necessarily heavy we have had to
pay, and, in addition, every township
has been obliged, at frequent inter
vals, to send out numbers Of men to
fight the battles of the country.
These evils would never have come
upon us, had there not been weak
and corrupt administration in power
in 1860 and '6l, an administration In
full sympathy and acting in concert
with the rebels of the Southern states
This point is so clear that argument
is not necessary, but we do as
scrt, and can substantiate, that had the
people Of the North been united--as
much so as were the people of the
south, the war could not have lnstod
eighteen months, and that all the men
needed to put down the rebellion and
restore the Government would have
been raised by volunteering, avoiding
the necessity of drafts.
We assert and ask you to consider
the following facts:
|. That we can have Peace and
o continuance of free Government
only by subduing the rebels.
2. That the rebels have persevered
in the hope that they would eventu
ally receive assistance from the north
3. That every election that has re
suited in favor of the Union caus,
has spread gloom over the South
gnl every election that has resulted
olnerentiy mas encouraged enou"
4. That the Rebellion is now yer,
nearly ended.
.. That it will ond just as soon n,
it is a settled fact that the rebels car
receive no assistance from the North
There can be no disputing the trutl
of these propositions. After th,
election of 1862, which resulted dis
astrously to the Union cause in mos
of the Northern states, shout o
exultation went up from the entir,
south, and their zeal was renewed
In '63, the Union party succeeded
and the rebels became despondent
All that is needed is unamity, il
the North. A Union victory at tn,
polls, this fall, will SO dishearten til,
rebels, as to make the task Of tile ar
mics an easy one.

The rHect Of Union Victories.


Under the influence of troubles at
the North, and reverses in the field,
Gold went up to nearly 800. AS a
matter Of course, goods of all kinds
followed, cotton goods, sugar, coffee,
and everything we use. But mark
this Farragut's successes at Mobile,
Grants victories at Richmond, Sher-
idan's victories in the Shenandoah
Valley, and the taking of Atlanta,
sent gold down to $50, with ev-
cry prospect of still further decline.
Raw Cotton has followed, having fall
len about 90 per cent, and all that is
needed to bring dry goods, groceries
and other goods down to moderate
prices and restore business to its old
basis, is more Union victories in the
field, and an election so decidedly
for the Union ticket that the rebels
will be entirely satisfied that they
have nothing to hope for from the
North.
If you would aid in bringing down
goods to old prices, and restoring
business to its old basis, pray for I'm
ion victories IN the South, and vote
the Union ticket ut home.
