THE Widow Maker of the 10th Century
and Republican Candidate for Presf-
dency.
Including the last batch of half nailfiont
since the war began two million seven hun
dred and ninety five thousand men have
been called into the field by the n orth, or by
the widow maker. And the crusade is mo
nearer over by fighting to-day than it was
tour years since, and we veribly believe that
IT the affair goes on for year more on the
same plan as for the past threes the rebels
viii force the North to terms. Seventy
five thousand three m onths men were, in the
estimation of our rulers and tyrants, full en-
ough to subdue the rebellion. The differ
ence between the first call and the number
actually taken from their homes to be
butchered and squandered by the fiat boat
tyrant and widow maker,is not greater than
the difference between the aforesaid nation
al grave digger and the least of all our form
g. statesmen.
Only TWO MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND
NINETY-FIVE THOUSAND men lost to their
homes their industrial pursuits, the eir families
and their country through the fanaticism of
of Aboltionigts, and the imbecility of She
widow making President! And these men
have been by dribets fed into the mangling
machiDe-smothered to death in cotton or
stunk to death between niggers-not for the
salvation of the country but for the glorifi-
cation of HONEST OLD AB4 the clown and
usurper, who in his crusad e for Eiggefs, has
marked his path with the blood and bones
of his betters at every step.
How much longer will ye stand this in
suit, oh! Ye willing people? How many
more of your brave men shall go forth to
death, oh! loved country? How many more
hearthstones will ye suffer to be made desc

ter over. Let them look at the miEions of
the tyrant strutting by in good clothes and
face marked wilh riotous living-let them
look at our decimated armies-at our waste
feds-at the half en- PITY workshops-at the
deserted hamlets-at the widows in weeds
and the orphan in tearS-at the prospect for
the future, and tell, not US, but themselves,
whether it is worth while longer to support
Abraham Lincoln, the tyrant, widow maker

daily disgracing this once happy nation.
MEN AND BRETHREN! Talk it up. By
the twilight talk 1t over among yourselves.
In little clusters, standing by neighbors

ing at your half filed tables-coming in
squads from workshops and toll. talk this
matter over among yourselves. It is for you

maker, we owe allegiance. Talk it over
As you bend in toll think, and let your
