DIRT EATING.

1t is somewhat curious to see the
slime honored" Democracy eat dirt,
with such an evident relish, or if not
with relish, with q determination TO
take their fill. They are crawling in
the dirt at the feet of President
johnson and kissing them flercely.
1t is beyond the knowledge of most
men as TO how they can do this. They
didn't give Lincoln any support, and
his course was far milder than that
of Johnson. Why is it? Simply this,
that for the last four years they have
been sailing without any sails OF
helm, and don't find it very smooth
going. They arc bound to tic to
some one. johnson is their only
hold, and they attach themselves tc
him like leechcs. 1t is humiliating
,bu. they have had to take back seat
in the political ring so long, tina
nothing is too mean for them to do
They are welcome to all they can gail
by their sickening sycophancy. /
would be funny indeed, tn see Pres
ident Johnson and Yallandighal
, sailing in one boat---onc the leade
of the great loyal people and the 9th
I cr the leader of the disloyal Dem
/, tocracy. The people will unite tn
2 Democratic knot with a yeugence @
the polls on the tenth. Bury th
Democracy in mountain Of votes.

REMEMBER

That the national debt was created to
enable the Government to maintain
Itself against its enemies.
REMEMBER
That the Copperhead Democracy op-
posed the war and in so doing, pro-
longed 1t at least two years,
REMEMBER
That in their opposition to the war,
they encouraged its enemies, lessened
confidence in it, and deprecated its
financial credit.
REMEMBER
That such dastardly disloyal course
increased our national Indebtedness
by one-half
REMEMBER
That when volunteers were called
for, they demanded q draft.
REMEMBER
That when draft came, they op-
posed the Communication clause. and
declared 1t was discrimination
against the poor man.
REMEMBER
That when that clause was repealed
they complained that the only hope
of the poor man was gone.

A Genuine Relic.

A Washington correspondent OF
the Akron. CO.. Beacon, brings to,
light a most interesting relic con-
nected with the history of President
Lincoln, in the following paragraph:
"But ] commenced to speak of
relic, which l have seen, fled awsy
in the proper department. here. It
consists of an age STRICKEN. worn
out and patched muster.out and pay

teers, which rendered the Govern
ment twenty. one days service in the
Black Hawk war, 1889. This roll
gives the autograph signature of each
member of the company. Among
the privates is the now weff known
and easily recognized signature of
the great martyr, "A. Lincoln He
received for his service. pay proper,
S4,66; use of horse, arms, etc, 40
cents per day, SS,40; rations and
forage, 20 cents per day, S5, /; to-
tai, S1S,3l."
What other country can boast such
an individual career? How little did
MIR. Lincoln, in 1882, when armed
and mounted to chastise the Indians
for their murderous incursions upon
our frontier, in his true, honest in
tegrity, anticipate his glorious fu-
ture! From private soldier in
1882, to President and Commander
in Chief in 1851, the victim of the
cowardly assassin and q martyr upon
the altar of his country in 1868.

Colorado has indorsed the new

of the Territory, which have here
tofore opposed State oIganizationr
declined to vote ut all at the recent
election. The effect of this is that
the majority for the State is much
larger than anticipated. All that is.
now required is an act of Congress

Union.
The Alabama Convention has pass.

What has been Secured.

The Washington Chronicle says:
In less than six months after the
of the rebel armies, three
important measures for indemnity
for the past and security of the flu
ture, have been almost consummated,
and many now be regarded as fixed
and unalterable. These measures
and objects are as follows: .,U
|. The ratification, oy all the re-
cent insurgent or rebellious States,
OF the joint resolution Of Congress
amending the Federal Constitution,
by forever abolishing slavery in the
United States. .li
III. The abrogation and repeal o.
all laws, codes, or provisions, State
or municipal, for the protection o.
slavery, for the oppression of the
colored man, and for the withholding
from him the rights secured to all o
his race, in most Of the free States
,of the Republic.
III. The authoritative avowal that
none of the debts incurred in thu
prosecution of the rebellion against
the national authoritity, either State
or national, shall ever be paid or be
made pretext for taxing the peo
pie, or for a claim upon the Govern,
Iment of the United States,
These measures are in accordance
with the Ohio Union Platform, but
Democracy hates and fights them.

REM EN- BER!

That the same party which during
the early party Of the war, claimed
that the Southern States had the
right to secede whenever they de-
sired, now say they never had any
right to Withdraw from the Union
that the action Of the conventions
declaring the States out of the Unior
was not valid--that the said State:
never were out Of the Union-that
they are to day entitled to the same
privileges as States as though ther'
had been no rebellion and that the,
ought to be admitted into Congress
Immediately without any questions
being asked.
Are the people of Hancock Willing
to follow them in their winding way
II so, vote for their candidates ant
! principles.
