The White soldier Candidate or the
RI.clr soldier Which
do you Prefer.
Every citizen must make his choice
+ate sides tor or against the white soldiers
whose patriotism and valor. saved the
Union, while the rebels of the South and
the radicals of the North were plotting
its ruin. There is no middle ground, no
lodging the issue. Are you for or against
the white soldiers, the veterans who were
fighting for the Union while many of you
were safe at home, enjoying the emolu-
ments of your contracts, your Offices, your
honest or dishonest gains, and only talk
ing loyalty and patriotisma e"
It will not do to show your courage by
fighting the soldiers battles over again in
mouthing speeches, or to expend your zeal
in denouncing repentent rebels, or attempt
to prove your 1'loyalty by talking about
Copperheads. All tits sort of thing
.ssi is played out" and you, Mr.. Candidate,
will be played out and ought to be played
out unless you go for the white soldier.
The white soldiers have been to
the war, they have seen the ele-
phant-the "blood red hands of the
rebels, Gas the poetic MARSHALL expresses
the idea), and 1.-THE fighting black heroes, f"
whom the radicals say are the best SOL
diers in the world, and they have come
home to see the. blood-red tongues of the
radicals, and they agree with wonderful
unanirnity on all subjects of public policy,
which in any way relate to the issues of
the war, to the pacifcation of the South,
the restoration of the States lately in re-
bellion to their proper place in the Union,
and all kindred questions.
These white soldiers who saved the
Union, who knew how to put down the re-
bellion and did it, are the very men who
| know best how to restore the Union 20
permanent peace and prosperity-who
know best what course the people of the
North ought to pursue towards the people
Of the South.
Now, we believe in the white soldiers.
We know them, for they are of our kith
and kin, and we will trust them-trust
their patriotism, trust their judgment,
trust their craftsmanship. They are our
political jury. The exciting question OF
! the day, made SO by the clamor OF the
radicals, has been submitted to that grand
jury of white soldiers, and by them de-
cided. The radical indictment against
the South, which General MARSHALL advo-
Gates in all his speeches, has been
submitted to the Grand Jury of white SOL
diers, and they have rejected it, endorsing
thereon "no BILL" Gen. MARSHALL knows
this, yes, no one knows better than he,
that nearly all the white soldiers are OPP
! posed to negro suffrage, both at the South
and North. he is the negro suffrage car
candidate black soldier candidate for
Governor, opposed to the views, the prin-
ciples and the policies of the white soldiers,
whose only candidate for Governor in this
State, is HENRY NJ. ROE.
As President JOHNSON said to the Abo.
litionist Governor FLETCHER, this is white
mans country. All who believe this, and
are in favor of keeping it so, will go with
the white soldiers; they will vote for the
white soldiers candidate and against the
black soldiers candidate, they will vote
for white suffrage, and all the time in ia
vor of keeping this ga white mans gov
