TO THE POINT.

The Democratic speakers are talking
= great deal about voting for soldiers,
They have put soldiers in nomination,
on the State and Congressional tickets,
but on platforms which inevitably &C.
cure their defeat. But in this District,
which has heretofore been Democratic,
did tho party nominate a soldier? Not
by any means; for they hope to
elect their candidate, and they never
nominate soldiers under such circum-
stances.
The Republicans, however, did nomi.
nate.a brave and gallant soldier, Capt
s. NJ. Bruce, Of the Third Regiment.
Nov, Democrats, here is 4 case in point.
Here is true soldier, who never de.
serted his eolors or his principles-vctc
for him for State Senator. Will you,
dare, you, be consistent? Let us see.
There is another good soldier on the
Republican ticket-Capt. r. Scheme.
mann. WIN you be consistent aud vote
for him for Clerk Of the Court? You
must, or else your claims for Colville
fall to tho ground. Democrats, be men,
and vote for Capt. Bruce and Capt.
Schoenemann.

Of the Tenth Minnesota Volunteers.-
The meeting was called to order by
Capt. L w. Collins, and Col. Charles
D. Kerr chosen to preside.
Gen. Bakers speech was calm, logi-
cal and convincing. He first demon
strased from the plain provisions Of the
Constitution, that the work Of recon-
st!uction rested wholly with Congress.
He then proceeded to discuss the Con-
stitutioual Amendmet, taking it section

that its passage Vas demanded a. just
aud proper settlement Of the difficulties
before the country. His remarks were
eloquent, and very favorably impressed

Baker with denial Of the right 40
