The Herald AttacEiur rMr p.rson.

The Herald Attacking Mr.. Parsons
:. Nothing is more transparent than ths
the Herald and its clique are thorough
: alarmed. After larger fund has beel
$ raised to elect Mr.. Spalding, and
more lavish expenditure of it ha
> been made than was ever known
IN a Congressional canvass in this dis
trIct, it now turns round and raises tht
. cry Of "mad dog against Mr.. Parsons
= and talks about hirelings," corruption
5 and eopperhesds. 1t is perfectly noto
rlous to all intelligent persons in this city
that the Spalding clique expect to carry
certain wards by Democratic votes, and
we know in single ward that an offer
was made by Spalding man to give
them from twenty-five to fifty Irish
Democrats if they were needed to
carry the ward "
II any Democrats are working against
Judge Spalding, We know many who are
actively working for him, and as to
money the Herald knows its clique has
raised and expended five dollars TO Mr..
Parsons one. We can give "names and
facts about sorruptions and "hire-
lings that might induce even the Herald
TO stop its undignilied Misrepresentation.
When the Sentsr clique can be taught
anything in regard to packing and car
rying the wards in Cleveland, new poll
-ical era will have dawned upon Us. We
havehad some years experience with these
gentlemen and know their abilities. We
believe from very careful examination,
that freetosrths of the leading Repub-
licans in Cleveland are for Mr. Parsons,
and the Herald cannot deny it. And we
are as confident that Mr. Parsons will be |
nominated as that the sun win rise upon
the morning Of the convention.
The Herald can deceive no one in the
city by the cry OF packing or "corrup-
tion,' Its only hope is to deceive our
friends in the country
The Soldiers and the Union Party.
Copperheads are trying to make great
deal Of political capital out of the fact that
the present faithful and excellent Secra-
tary ofState was re-nominated, instead of
some soldier. This cry will deceive no.
body. The soldiers remember very well
that the very men who now pretend
such sympathy for them were, two years
ago, while they were undergoing unpar-
alleled suffering and dangers for the
Union cause, denouncing them as "Lin-
,oln's hirelings," hired Hessians and t
'Lineoln's dogs. They will remember !
hat at the same time the true and loyal !
men Of the Union party were either fight
ng with them in the field, or, through
sanitary and Christian Commissions, and !
~ personal benevolence and effort, re-
ieving the soldiers wants Remember
ng these things, they will not be deceived a
nto political alliance with the Copper il
leads
But the record as to tbe political hon
rs which soldiers have received at the a
ands Of the Union party is made up. s.
{ is easy to ascertain what that party has b
one for the soldiers. And we find that a
f the Union Etato officers elected by the q
eople, exclusive of Supreme Judges, who il
re elected for five years, fire are civilians 4
nd SIC are soldiers of the Union. The =
blowing Is the list of soldiers holding | +

Beside his, five of the Union Congress n

Te think that the soldiers have no cause h,
