In accordance with this resolution we bret
" address you, not as county committee, but
al members Of truly loyal body, devoted 10
the country, to patriotism and human liberty.
We have been soldiers and ATTEMPTED to dis
charge the duties of the field and the battle
in a soldierly.l like manner, risklng our lives
for our cause and trusting to Almighty God
for our preservation. When we were in the
service voice of encouragement and good
cheer came 10 as from the entire Moth.
Glorious old Maine, Vermont, Ohio and
great aud .'big hearted" Iowa, as well as
other States, pointed US TO the future as
crowned with rewards for military exertion.
We have returned home aud our position
must be defined Soldiers of merit must not
be overlooked in the great political struggles
of the day. They saved the country, the
| Constitution and the flag in war, and they
must be permitted to assist in upholdlng the
country in It's integrity, and defending all the
fundamental elements of the Government in
/ time of peace Men of POLITICAL celebrity
declared the war failure, but stont arms
| and brave hearts placed the seal of fondemDa-
ton on the falsehood.
Hundreds of thousands of brave men said
that the Union should be preserved, and to-
day it is presented TO the world as the liga-
ment of States. and the pride OF % great peo-
! pie. The men that said that the war was q
| failnre and refused TO aid the cause of law,
| liberty and civilization, are on Tie var path
Of soldiers in time o( peace.
We beg leave to be brief and explicit.
| Action, brcvity, quickhess for soldiers, words
| for stump orators. On the I'D OF Septem.

body to bullets, Of which he bears the marks
rebel color bearer at Corinth DoERR did no
such thing. RoLLETr captured the flag
DoEaR was not there, but at that time was
discouraging enlistmeHts and trying TO pre-
vent the filling up Of your decimatsd rank .
RoLLETT has the flag as present from the
gallant General RICE: DoERR has no flag TO
show to the people, except the Chicago peace
failure flag. Ii is said that DoERR is compe-
tent: so is RoLLRIr. Ii is said that DoERg
has had experience, and this is true. He
has been SO long in office, so long fed from
the public treasury. that he cannot keep out
without sickness. Rol.LETr accustomed him
self to bullets, bayonets, cannon, blood and
liberty, while DogKE used himself to quilts,
ioolscap and peace.
