VIII De. We extract from the snaaob tho
following, for the benefit of the soIdinrsof
Pennsylvania
The banner of our armies is tha han
ner OF tyranny and oppression. .n-Ro-

How does that sound to a soldierq Tho
banner under which you have been fipht-
ing so long and in defense of which Won
nave shed your blood so freely upon the
naCIle neid, that banneris only " the BAN
hef OF tyranny and oppression ~ That is
one specimen of their " loyalty" Here
Is another proof of their devotion to their
country:
rms Is damned Abolition war. and
we believe Abe Lincoln is as much of n
traitor as JET Davis. ."-AshIand (OhioO
Democratic Union.
=, soldiers, that sentence was put forth by
the very men who to-day ask you to sup
port their candidates for office!
Here is another proof of their LOYALTY:
The Democracy will yet teach Abe
Lincoln and his co-usurpers. that the wav
OF the transgressor is not easy.n-Hon. A.

This is another beautiful instance of
their patriotism. Here is another speci-
men:
Any man who volunteers to 90 and
fight in this war ought to be shot. They
are damned Abolitionists. ."-Kent coat7atg

COnUentiOn.
What do you think of that L? That
proves them to be your friends unuues-
tIonably, and deserving of your conf
dence.
You black Republicans have sent
your hell-hOunds down South to devas-
tate the country"
This is from Geo. w. Peck, a distin-
guished patriot, etc
" say to you, my constituents. that as
your Representative Twill never vote one
dollar or one gun, to the administration
OF Abraham Lincoln, to make war against
the South. ID. W. Voorhees,, NJ {. Sec-
e1ath Indiana District, Aaora, 1861.
Another instance of the hearty support
these men gave to their country in its
hour of peril:
otis a lamentable fact that not one
thousandth part of all our vast armies
North enlisted purely from patriotic mo-
JlNes. Some went for money, some to get
offices, some to getapplause at home, and
all with vague ambition to become re-
nOWned. And, too, alas that we should
say 1t! thousands upon thousands to steal.
Ihese are facts, and no amount of fine
writing and frothy indignation can change
them. We do not know that the South
ern soldiers were any freer from such in
centiVes, butthey probably were, as theirs
partook of war of self-defence. ."-Loya-
sing Democratic Journal, May Is, '66.
You went into the army for money, ac-
cording to these men. That is what thev
say of you, and yet they call upon you
with open arms to come into the ranks of
this great g loyal' Democratic party.
The Democrats cannot say to you that
these are only the utterances of individu-
ais, editors and speakers, for whose as
the very life and spirit of their utterances
were re-echoed and reiterated by the great
Democratic party itself, assembled in ma
tional convention at Chicago"
