At Washington stands two colossal stat

Lincoln and Johnson are Of one mind /;

pose, and that is to put down tl;s rebel.
hon in the only way in which i ever can
Be put down, and that ishy force Of arms

Ny friends, did not vote for Lincoln
have never seen him, but from the sth
Of March 1861, 70 the present ,lme,
have watched him closely lie has said
SEINE things which ] DO not approve.
He has done gene things which did not
suit me- but for 81 that, prefer him
70 any new aud an,ried man an my
wishes, al my hopee, are centered in
one thing, and that Is the crushing out
Of this rebellion By force Of arms There
is 20 other way to save the Republic.
Whatever else may be said of Mr. l.in-
coin, no one can doubt that be has the
same purpose, and that from first 70 last
be has never Filtered ia the good work.
Ny frieEds, ] do not wish 60 change
our President or his Cabinet. or oar
Generals in the field. Lincoln suits
me 80 does Seward and Stanton and
Fessenden aud Welles aud Grant aud

Change Of Standardization Fatal
There is another most weighiy eonsid
GRAFTON against such change, aud II i

They inelins 70 folIos their party ~

For myself, have lost sight Of a

November, 1859. no persuasion couls
induce me TO vote for Lincoln IN No

1901 Not vote for him because ou
polisical creeds do not coincide! W
agree IN the great business now in hand
and that is enough for me.
