The present political campaign is
near to close. Only few more
days are left for organization and
preparation. On Tuesday, the 10th
day of October, the great civil bat
tie is to be fought. Soldiers, are yon
readyp Nothing is needed but your
arms in perfect order, forty rounds
of ammunition and one days cooked
rations Your gallant General is to
lead the Union column. We know
HE will neither tremble nor fall
ter He never retreated nor left his
soldiers to encounter dangers or en-
dure hardships he was not ready and
willing to share with them. Will
you stand by him nowp Remember
this is pre-. emincntly the SoLDIERs
CHAMPION. More than two thirds
of all the candidates on the Union
tickets for election on the 10th, are
men who have done gallant service in
the field, in maintaining the Govern.
ment and the Union.
They have been your companions
in arms. Will you forsakc them
nowp Will you by indifference or
slothfulness, permit the cnemy-the
party and men who have abused and
viliiled you from the beginning Of
the war to this day-to steal your
well earned laurels-to cheat you of
final and glorious victory? Let
not the miserable and senseless cry
of abolition and negro equality mis-.
lead you, nor the specious homage of
your bravery by those who have du.
ring four years OF cruel war, viified
you, deceive and allure you from
duty. Forget not the duty you owe
to those brave companions whose
bones bleach or moulder, on Southern
soil! Forget not your duty to those
families at home who mourn their
absence. ... a.. rru a, r.I
The eyes Of q civilized world are
watching this last great battle. On
its issue hangs the last hope Of Sc.
C ession--the credit of our country AZ
home and abrJad-the future reward
and honor of your brave deeds.
If you yield in this struggle, you
concede that much for which you
have bravely fought was unworthy
OF such valor. a'
The ticket presented by the Union
party bears the stamp ana approval
Of full convention Of which you
constituted an important part. A
careful scrutiny since, induced by
the "logic of events" proves the
wisdom and prudence of the con
yention. Let no ISLANDERS or mis-
representation deceive you in regard
to our State ticket. IT is all that
good and true men need desire
Each and every candidate will fill
the JeEersonian rule--"Honest, ca
pable and faithful" t'' u
We have the most encouraging and
gratifying reports from nearly every
county in the State. In few local
tiles we hear of apathy. Ii with you
there is not zeal and activity, such
rs you saw in the field on the eve of
a great battle, begin at once to rally
your companions to the work. Trust
not to overwhelming numbers. Be
not satisfied with a mere victory
Let it be total rout, otherthrow and
annihilation Of the enemy--such q
victory as you have lately won over
armed rebels in the feld--such a
victory as will forever settle the
question Of secession and notification
at the North, as VIC believe it is tor
ever settled at the South. fT..-,
We have faith in your valor, your
sense Of duty to your country, to
posterity, and to yourselves. Let
not our hopes be disappointed in
the election of every Union candi.
date in the State. Ii oAN BE DONE.
We are, very truly, yours,
