TO THE BOYs IN BLUE!

The campaign will close next Tuesday at
suudown. Until then, you are expected to do
your whole duty. The final battle, before 60
ing into winter quarters, will be fought on
Tuesday. Nothing of vigilance must be re-
laxed before the dawn of that day. We have
got the enemy where We want them, and we in
tend not only to defeat them on the field, but
to capture them, their baggage train, camp fix
lures and stores. Maintain unceasing picket
and outpost duty. Bring in all the prisoners
possible, and treat them kindly-for many of
them are nearly starved, waiting for the bread
and-butter rations, by the epromise of which they
were csjoled into the rebel service. Get all
things in readiness for the last struggle. Hold
frequent inspections, and see that your prep
erations are completed before Tuesday morn
ing Reveille will be sounded at sunrise, in
Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania camps. Fall
in promptly and see to it that there are no
stragglers or sluggards. There toN be no sick
call hdt morning. Every man is expected to
be on hand, in working order. Knapsacks and
all superfous baggage-such IS business and
family cares-should be left in quarters The
grand Union Army will go forth in light march
ing and fighting order to win another victory
over the enemies of Liberty and Union. Throw
out skimishers and sharp shooters, with good
supply of ballots, and station your reserves at
| the polls to remain on duty there without relief
until the day is over. 1t may not be much Of
fight, but it is the part of wisdom to be pre-
| pared for it all the same. In conclusion, GO IN

GKN. BUTLER IN FRKaIONT.

Another rousing Union meeting was held in
this city on Monday evening last, addressed by
Gen. BUTLER and Gen. BucKLAND. An i'm
mense crowd greeted the hero of New Orleans,
and the town was ablaEe with enthusiasm. The
General and family arrived on the 6 P. M. train
from the west, and while here wac the guest Of
Gen. BuoKLAND. At an early hour Birchard
Hall was filled TO overfowing, without dimin-
ishing the crowd in the streets in the least. A
huge bonfire was lighted at the corner of Front
and State streets, flags were displayed from the
hotels and many other buildings, and the bal
cony of the Kessler House was tastefully hung
with banners and transpsrencies. 1t was decid-
ed to hold the meeting in the open air, in Or
der to give everybody chance to see and hear
the speaker, and accordingly the speeches were
made from the balcony of the Kessler House.
About o'clock Gen. BUTLER was escorted
down town by large procession, headed by the
band, following which were the "Boysin Blue"
with torches and transparencies. The appear
ance of the distinguished speaker was greeted
with prolonged applause, and his speech, occu-

He presented the living issues of the campaign

away the sophistries of "my policy" with which
they have been beguiled, and let flood of light
and truth into their understandings. At the
conclusion of the speech three cheers were Civ
en- for the hero of New Orleans, three for Gen
BuoKLAxD and three for Congress. In answer
to loud calls Gen. BUckLAND came forward and
made few happy remarks, after which the
crowd dispersed. The meeting was a great
success, and the reception of BUTLER handsome.

hour the same morning to attend the meeting
in that place.

NEXT TUESDAY.

Three more working days only intervene be-
tween the day of Election. A great deal of eff
fective labor can, however, be performed within
that time. Every citizen should take time to
do some work. Intelligent mei, who under
stand the issue at stake, should reason with
those who are doubtful, and labor with those
who are against us but will listen TO argument.
There are men in this city and county who can
and will spend every moment of the time left
in laboring for the Union cause. Workingmen
can find time to visit the work shops and ap-
peal to their fellow workingmen. Business
men of all kinds, whose prosperity depends
upon good laws and their just and prompt ad-
ministration, should make il their business to
see that nothing shall be omitted that ought to
be done to carry the election Upon the success
of the Union cause depends peace, the perpetu-
ity of the National Government the National

THE DEMOCRACY SHEDDING ITS 81

Everybody who has lived near the Lake
shore, has had unpleasant experience with the
swarms of Canada flies which emigrate to this
side from her Majesty's dominions. One OF
their peculiarities is that of shedding their
skins, and reappearing in still more offensive
shape Any summer morning you will see a
pile of husks under lamp posts, and ere long
become aware of the resurrection of the vermin
by their slimy familiarity. The once time
honored Democracy has just performed SINH
lar operation. 1t has shed its skin, and reap
peared as full blown National Union Copper.
johnson party, more repellant than in its old
shape, and like the Canada yermin, bound to
be exceedingly short-lived. The only good
thing it had, it got rid of-its name; and even
that was so intimately associated with SO many
vile deeds that it was stencil in the nostrils.
Many who clung to the party did SO only be-
cause it was called Democracy, and since its
transmogrifcation, refuse to train in its COM
pany. The newborn deformity will expire
next Tuesday, ana no tears will be shed at the
funeral

CORRUPTION MONEY.

1t positively asserted, and not denied, that
Andy johnson is sending FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS of the Secret Service Money, in
to each Ohio District for the purpose of electing
Copperhead candidates for Congress'-Zanes-
tile Courier.
In addition to this large corruption fund 1t is
also a well known fact that the President Of
these United States has placed in the hands of
the copperhead candidates for Congress in all
the Districts the power of turning Union men
out of Office and appointing men who support
''my policy in their places. The eopperhead
candidates make up the slate. The President
acts promptly on their suggestion. They are
paid presidential spies and informers. Mr..
F1xErRocK received his commission to do this
dirty work while riding in the same car with
the President from Cleveland to Fremont, and
he has used bis new authority without stint.
Who wants to train in the company of such
cerruptionists, spies and informsn?

BEWARE T!

Various tricks will be, and already have been,
resOrted to by the cOpperjOhnsonites to weaken
the Union strength st the pending election.
Look out for them Don't "pair of" with
any Democrat If he don't want to vote, all
right; but don't lose your right of suffrage any
how, or let any other Union man, if you can
help it
Don't "trade" votes. Many of the coppers,
despairing of Finefrocks election, are propos-
ing already to trade him off for votes for parts
of their county ticket. If Democrat asks you
to vote for his candidate for Probate Judge with
the promise that he will vote for General Buck
land, undoubtedly you ought to tell him to
clear out His candidate for that office trains il

CONNECTICUT TOWN ELECTIONS.

Connecticut held town elections last Monday.
The first kilograms announcing Democratic
gains, were false. The following from the NY,
Tribune of Tuesday states the result correctly ,
Connecticut held Town Elections yesterday
in many of her towns, and the aggregate result
shows overwhelming gains TO the Republican
Unionists. They have carried almost every
town where they seriously tried, including quite
a number that were against them last Spring
Among these are Seymour, which never before
went Republican, as well as Danbury, which
we lost at the State election. There is scarcely
township which does not show decided Re-
publican gain in the popular vote So it is
wherever people who can read are enabled to
pass Judgment on "My Policy"

SHOWING THEIR HANDS.

Thomas P. Finefrock, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Congress in the Ninth District, said on
Friday last, at Sandusky, in answer to direct
question, that if an opposition Congress was
formed of Northern CONSERVATIVES and Rep

and that body outnumbered the legal Congress,

Probably the oldest stove in the United

crot. is one which warns the hall Of Vir-
ginia's capitol in Richmond. 1t was
made in England aud sent to Virginia in
1870, and warmed the House Of Burgesses
for sixty years before it was removed to
its present location, where it has been for
thirty years. 1t has survived three British
monarchs; has been contemporaneous
with four kingly monarchies, two republics
and two imperial governments of France.
The great republic of America has been

ANDREW JOHNSON AND THE STARVING
IRISH.

The Detroit Post has exhumed the following
fact in Andrew Johnson record:
''In the winter of 1S46-7, during the Irish
famine, it was proposed in Congress to appro-
pirate sum of money to purchase corn and flour
to send to the starving people of Ireland. The
bill passed the Senate and came to the House
where its title was read, when Andrew John
son of Tennessee, objected to it on the ground
that it was unconstitutional to feed starving
Irishmen and women, and moved to lay the
bill on the table, When this vote was taken
Andrew johnson voted to lay the bill on the Ia
ble In spite of Andrew johnson, the Ameri-
can people did send several ship-loads of corn
and flour to Ireland to aid the starving people of

INJURY OOHtHttSctoV Auftuhchy Oo'
Messrs G. DoNoYsos and Isaac KNAPP were
not the Military Committee ofsandusky county.
They were members of it, but constituted a
small minority of thatcommittee. 1t is an in
excusable assumption on their part to sign
their names as the military Committee of
Sandusky County" As to the amount and
character Of the influence such man as Mr..
FNEFRooK would probably exert in recruiting
for the Union army, the reader will be able to
Judge by reference to his record printed in an
other column of this paper. 1t would be deci-
dedly ''hefty." 1t is notorious, that the few
speeches Mr.. flsKyRoCK made during the war,
accomplished more harm than good; it is also
notorious that he was withdrawn and not per-
mitted to speak, after few efforts in that line,
because his influence hindered recruiting; it is
also notorious that he never gave a cent 10 any
fund in aid of soldiers or soldiers families.
These things are notoriously true. Neither Mr..
FINEFRocK nor his friends deny them. His
record is damnable, and he can not escape it.
We call upon him, or his friends for him. if he
has any, to disprove single charge brought
against him. -- h = r-~s- -
