FELLOW SoInIERs-CoMRspEs OF Shows
BATrEHY.-'lhe bugle is again sounding the
assembly; we cannot rest; up and answer
to your names. Then form yourselves in
battle array, for the enclny is upon uS-in
our very midSt-led on by that traitor and
renegade, Andrew johnson. But, com
radcs, you who fought treason and stood no.
bly, up when the vile traitors of the South
and the miserable Coppcrhcads Of the North
were arrayed against you, where do you
stand to-day? | think hear you say We
stand still arraycd against treason. Yes
comrades. some of our officers have deserted
MS and gone over to the enemy-to the Bread
and Butter Brigade aud our Captain has
said that he can influence the Battery; but
let us teach him and all others of his stamp.
that we cannot be bought with piece of
bread and butter; but that we intend to
stand by our country and our countsy's in
tcrest-stand by what we fought for, and
vote for no man who has erer given aid or
Sympathized with treason We want no
Rebel Vice President in our Halls of Con
rress; we want no such men to control the
destiny of our country. They tell us they
have repentcd and we should toagive: but
comrades, have they rcpentcd? No: the
same bitter feeling exists now that existed
comrades, we have yet great duty to do;
we must shake off this slow fever that has
preycd upon us for months anI 90 forth
again equipped fot the fight, and let us vote
as we shot--agalnst treason; let us, with
one will exclaim, we endorse Congress but
dcnounce Andrew Johnson's reasonable
policy; let us tell the people of this country
and of this State that we want no dictation
that we want no king; but that we want
true men to govern this conntry-man of
senSe-mcn of true principles. You ali re-
member, comrades. that we gave our whole
vote, at the last Presidential election, to
Lincoln, that good and true man, but at the
same time voted for that traitor and rene
gade, Andrew johnson. He betrayed us,
but he did not dismay us. Let us vote for
what we fought for. Let MS rally around the
balot.box as we did around the flag of our
country, and stand by her interest, by show
ing to traitors that we vote to make treason
odious--not honorable. Il. /. L.
