1t was at once the prison and the tomb of
thousands OF our children. our brothers and
our friends The treatment they received
at the hands Of the enemy is Represented as
barbarous and cruel. But time and time
again did the insurgt rts offer n exchange
the Andefsonville prisohes for those held
by US; and as often did Secretary Stanton
refuse to make the cxrhange Accord;ngt0
the correspondent Of the New York IlTLpas,
who himself was prisoner, Mr.. stanton
is responsible for the many thousands OF
Union graves which surround the Southern
prisons; and Stanton has acknowledged that
the pretended difficulty as to the exchange
Of blacks was only pretext to prevent an
exchange Of our own brave men who were
dying in loathsome prisons He declared
that he would not exchange sound men FOR
living skeletons" And by our own Sec
rCtary of War were our own brave soldiers
doomed to starvation and DEATH While,
had they been exchanged, two months
time would have seen the majority Of them
once more in the field. But they are dead

THE SOLDIERS IN Ellie
| When the alarm of war first sounded, the
! young men Of America sprang to arnlS to
defend our flag, and now that peace is re-
stored, they are equally prompt ip protect
ing their rights as white men. and in resist
ing every attempt to reduce our country to
the condition of Mexico.
In Pennsylvania and Iowa, an in Ohio,
the Republican leaders have declared in fa-
yor of Negro Equality; and the Democrats
and soldiers have united upon ticket in
both Of those States, and in both it will be
elected.
The 'boys" who went to war proved
themselves to be good soldiers on many a
battle field and they will now prove that
the good soldier makes good citizen.
THE DISSOLUTION OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY,
Discerning men, of all parties, under
stand that the hour of death. for the Re-
publican party, is near at hand. Republi
cans, of ability and patriotism, are heard to
say the work Of the Republican party is
donc the war is over; serious abuses have
sprung up which can only be corrected by
a change in the administration Of the Gov
eminent, and it is for the int of all that
that change should take place. Applanse.
In every town and city, in eytry township
and county, are to be seen the seeds OF the

survive the coming Congress, and like u
failing patient, it is only kept alive by stlin
ulants. . IL,
| Would it not be wise then, for PATRIOTS
Republicans TO take their stand at once, and
not wait till theo become involved in com
men wreck? For, II by their votes, they
should elect Gen. Cox, they will do 20 with
the certainty of opposing him after the
election. Why, then. vote against your
own sentiments? Why cling to the body Of
a rnrty, the extrcmitics Of which are already
paSicd hy death Applause
Thousands of Republicans will stay away
from the polls to avoid the responsibility of
voting for Gen. Cax, hut in doing 20 they
will evade, and not discharge their duty. If
Negro Suffrage is right; if the four dollar
militia tax is just and wise; if it be good
economy to oxpcnd, in Ohio, six hundred
thousand dollars for collecting the internal
revenue; when it can be done for one-sixth
OF that amount; if you desire to pay tax
OF one hundred aud fifty dollars to buy the
negro dependency proposed by Gen Cox;
II unequal taSation is equitable, and if high
taxes are desirable to low ones, then yon
ought to vote for General Cox Rut If
these measures are wrong, as, in your heart
you know they are wrong, then it is your
duty to yourself, to your children, and 10
your country, to vote against him. LAP

OUR COUNTRY.
We are all Americans, all Ohioans and
we should never forget that our country is
the common heritage of the people. in oil
free nations there will, and ought to- be op-
posing parties for they act as checks and
guards upon each other, and without oppo-
sition there would be danger Of the party
in power becoming despotic But while
this is true, party spirit should always be
chastcned by patriotism, and every citizen
should prefer the country's good to a party
triumph. Applause.
An unfair attempt has been made by
portion of the Republican press 10 preiu-
dice the action of the people by attacks on
certain gentlemen who arc not candidates.

Parties are but associations of men, and
as men are liable to err when acting singly.

Let US all remember that we sre paseen-
gers on the same great ship of State, and if
she strands upon the rocks, we will all be
wrecked together But if prudent pilot
be at the helm, who will avoid all rocks and
shoals, and keep the sails fairly set to the
friendly breeze, a favorable voyage may be
expected.
