1t is unnecessary that | should go
into an examination of their res

clared in favor of the immediate adj
mission of rebel representatives., they
are unobjectionable. But won't do to

HOW THE LOST SHALL BE FOUND.
Lean, perhaps, best illustrate and
enforce this policy of our opponents
by telling a story:
It is toldEof traveller, that once on
dark and rainy night he lost his
way, and after riding his horse first In
one direction and then in another,
and seeing no light, he became dis
heartened. Instead of getting out of
the woods, he only got deeper in, I'M
til presently he was unable to move
for the chapparel and brush. He dis
mounted from his horse, stopped
down and felt on the ground, hoping
to find beaten path, but found none.
In despair, he remembered that
there, u was virtue in prayer.
So he knelt himself reYer-
emily, and uttered a fervent prayer to-
the Ruler of the universe to direct him
out of the woods. But herecefved no
response. 9 The Lord did not answer,
perhaps, because he had not asked
In the right spirit. y Finally, giving
this up, he concluded, as last resort,
he would try the other tack. Accord
ingly he knelt again, and prayed to the
evil one, to lead him out of his dilem-
ma. He had uttered only3a few inco-
herent words when the devil, in all his
majesty, raised up before him, with his
great fork elevated in the air.. Said
the devil, What do you want?' All
said the traveller, | am lost, lost, lost
Can'tyou lead me out of these woods?
Nothing easier, said the devil; and
stepping back and motioning with his
great fork, saying, This way, this way
Immediately. said the traveller, : |
turned and went in the opposite direc-
ton, and soon came out Of the woods
all right; because | knew the devil
was liar, and it would not do to trust
him" 1Great laughter and cheers. j
Just SO is it with this new party. It
won't do to be trusted. They who
compose it have not clean record in
the past. They have proved them
selves as untrue and unfaithful as the
evil one himself, and it.won't do. to
follow them. They will lead you
deeper into trouble than you now are.

STAND BY THE UNION PARTY. sqsa
IF you desire to come out of your
doubts and anxieties, and be once more
pon the broad highwatsof prosperity,
stand by the party which has stood by
you. Stand by that party which has
sent eighteen hundred thousand men
to battle for their country Stand by
that party which has expended four
thousand millions of dollars to save
our country from the death stroke of
treason. Stand by that party which
never, during the four years of terrible
war, was willing to lay down its arms
until treason and traitors were sub
dued. sob q
Stand by that party that has sus-
tanned the men who stood by the flag,
the party who believe he who has
/ fought on the side of his country is a
better man and more to be trusted
than he who has fought against it..
Stand by that party which would not
desert the widow and orphan of the
slain patriot. Stand by that party
that will uphold the MANNED and
wounded soldier. Stand by that
party which is for freedom, justice,
] and right, and our country will move
on prosperously and become what our
| forefathers intended she should be-
come, the greatest, the freest, and the
thappiest the world has ever seem

aiii WHO ARE TO BE TRUSTED si5s z, Q
l'9BWe are told that these people are to
be trusted. How much are they to be
trusted? What evidencedo they give
that they are fit to be the properrcus-

We are told that they are better Union

Are you willing, are the soldiers

see once more the armies of our nation

i Are you willing that the pirates

H.. My fellow=citizens, every freeman,
every lover of his country, every man

if they are not to be trusted, if they
are not to be put in command of our
