you can carry eucry Loyal State IN 'he Un'On
for the Union Candidates. Let that be the
aim of your effJrts! Be content with moth
ing less. Remember that The contest Is not
one for party sscendercy. You are mol nght-
ing for party victory.
The stake for which you are cOntendlng Is
nothing less than the honor and the life OF
your country Remember that tallGre no" Is
failure forever that triumph OF the cessa-
tion aud surrender policy OF the Chicago Con
ventiou leads inevitably to a recognition OF the
Rebel Coafeieracy, with slavery as It's corner
stone-lhe disruption Of this glorious Union
and the overthrow Of Democratic and RePub-
lcap PRINCIPLES all over the world. Give not
sncb triumph to the foes OF freedom abroad
and the enemies of equal rights at home! Let
not England and France thus glory IN the de-
struction of this Imperial Republic Let the
world understand that the American people
still cling to the principles Of their fathers
that they will still msintsiu against all hostili-
tv the integrity of their UoiOn, the authority
of their Constitution. and the honor and su-
premacy of their glorious Flag.
We call upon Union Committees, Loyal
Leagues. and all other organizations formed
for the purpose of vindicating and maintain
ing the Union cause, to redoube their efforts.
let them pertect their organization, instantly,
everywhere Let them send to this Commit
tee for such documents as will enlighlen the
people in their respective localities upon the
great issues involved in the canvass they
will be furnished grsiuitously, on the sole con-
dirion that they are faithfully used. Let
speakers in every town and every district ad-
dress the Judgment and The patriotic senti-
nent of the people, and rally them to the sup
port and defense Of our principles and candi-
dates. Let full and prompt provision be made
in advance for bringing voters to the polls,
for preventing frauds, and for securing in this
sharp crisis of the countrys fate the vote oi
every citizen who has an interest in the pres
ervatiou of the nations life
Let special care be taken to secure, for eve
rv Soldier and for every Sailor, who is fight
inc in the field or on the sea in defense OF the
country and its hAg, the exercise OF his right
to vote II any mans right OF suffrage Is sa-
cred it is his. See to it that he is not deprived
OF it by negligence, or cheated in its exercise
by fraud Send agents to the army to secure
it for him. Where the action of hostile Leg
islatures has refused him the right to vote IN
the field, procure him furIough, if military
necessity will allow, that he may vote at
home
Fellow CITIZENS But one month more
remains for effort If that month be- proper
ly employed, the vote Of every loyal State
can be secured for the representatives and can
didates of the Union cause. There is not one
among them all that, upon any just and fair
canvass, will deliberately pronounce the war
in which SO many of our sons and brothers
have laid down their lives failure, or echo
the demand of the Chicago Convention for a
cessation of hostiliIies just on the eve of vic
tory, and for disgraceiul surrender to an ex,
hausled and beaten foe.
On behalf of the National Union Execu-
tive Committee.
HENRY J. RAYMOND, Chairman.
