Vote Early

rule of the Democratic party In
former years when it was always sue
csssiul, was "vOTE EARLY" The sys-
TEN presents more advantages than are
apparent at first sight.
by voting early, you render yoaiseli
free to devote your attention during the
day to hunting up and bringing to the
polls your neighbols who are less
prompt.
BY voting early, you avoid the danger
of procraStmation until it is too late.
BY voting early, you prepare yourself
for the business of the day, and avoid
the danger of unexpected calls upon
your time causing You to lose your
vote.
Let the old rule be strictly followed
by our own Democratic and Cosserva-
tive citizens to-day.

Meeting at tho Court House.

There was a magnii 'ent meeting at
the Court House, last hight. The Court
room was full OF people; and the peo-
ple full of enthusiasm.
Mr.. LADY, representing the laboring
men. first spoke; Capt. PORTER SMITH,
= Gallant officer in the late Federal
amy, followed in q neat little speech,
and PARKER made a glorious speech
which was unanimously applauded.
Mr.. SHANNON, of Ohio, was introduc-
ed and made short and telling talk.
The very best feeling pervades our
ranks. Roll on the ball, boys.

TIE Tribune says the Republicans are
bound to go under if they don't succeed
in their negro policy, and the Tribune
never said truer word. The Tribune
notifies the tender-footed of its party
that they can't ego back" on the negro
if they would, and every sensible man
must see that the Tribune speaks the
fact. The Tribune admOnishes every
professed Republican who turns against
negro suffrage to "bespeak and secure
beforehand place in the Democratic
caravan, and the wisdom ofthe 7ribune's
advice is beyond question.

Is it net Tiuet 2

During all the long years the country
was under Democratic rule, we enjoyed
uninterrupted peace and prosperity.
The burdens of the Government were
easy;
Taxation was scarcely felt;
Elections were free;
And every man was permitted, with
ont molestation, to think as he pleased,
talk as he pleased, and worship God ac-
cording to the dictates Of his own con-
science
The Constitution of the United States
was respected by the ruling party;
All the States we're represented in
Congress, and the people were contented
and happy.
Bear this in mind when you come to
vote.

Work.

There is necessity for the active ef-
forts of every Democrat in the city to
make the triumph of our ticket as CON-
plete as it should be.
Erery rote is needed, not merely for the
election of our ticket, but to elect it by
a majority that becomes US after the
grand triumph in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
California and Connecticut.
Let every sympathizer with the tri-
umphing cause come to the polls and
help us.

Hunt Up

Your Democratic neighbors and bring
them to the polls.
At every election there is number
of qualified voters who fail to deposit
their ballots. BY proper exertion on
the part of those who feel the import

paigu, nearly all of these voters may be
induced to come to the polls and deposit
their ballots.

AT the recent election in Virginia the
negroes voted almost to a man in favor
of constitutional convention, and for
just such delegates to the convention as
the majority of Whites did not want.
There was nothing surprising in this,
at least to any one who had credited the
Negroes with sufi cient judgment to dis
criminate between friend and foe. That
he should want to exercise the rights of
citizenship, since he is compelled to bear
its burdens, is natural, just as natural as
it was for him when slave to covet his
freedom. That he should use his ballot
SO as to secure the former, might be cx-
pected just as naturally as that he should
have used his legs in days gone by to Sc
cure the latter. Any other course on his
part would have indicated a stupid igno-
rance or scottish indifference that would
have satisfied all minds of his utter un>
fitness for the endowment. But Just be-
cause he did just what he ought to have
done, ard what would have degraded him
in the estimation OF the rebels themselvs
if he had not done, they turn upon him
with ferocity that would disgrace even
the negroes were the situations of the par
ties reversed. They propose to drive
him from employment, TO deny him the
common right OF all Gods creatures, that
of toll, and to bring upon him all the
horrors of absolute aud hopeless want.
Such madness and stupidity combined,
have seldom been equalled in the same
people. Even surprising that there ex-
isted necessity for some vindicatory
measure, the thing proposed is the very
refinement of non sense itself. The COM
munity that would attempt it would soon
fnd that its own was the greater punish>
ment, and we know of no people who
would be likely to discover the unpleas'
anttruth sooner than the Virgiuians them>
selves. They, can least of all, afford to
do this thing yet they have cammenced
it in downright earnest, and to- day there
are thousands of Negroes in Virginia in
enforced idleness and perhaps want. Idle
ness is the DEVILS work shop; want is
his opportunity Whatever of crime or
violence results from this mean course, let
the responsibility for it be correctly fixed.
That considerable of both will come if
the present purpose oe the white people
of Virginia is PERSISTED in who can doubt 7

AT ANDERSONVILLE.

The first thought that occurred to me
when fairly inside was, " How susli !
Can it be possibl. that thirty thousand
men were ever thrust il here ?" be-
lieve there are wenty seven acres in the
enclosure, but | can only say that it
seemed fearfully small. Just within the
stockade are some sheds, which might
possibly shelter one hundred men-these
were put up, l believe, during the last
four months of the prisoners stay, aud
they were the only covering provided for
the poor fellows except what they scoop.
ed out with Il cir own hands.
And now, with solemn aud eager Gu
riosity, glanced around An uneven
piece of ground it is, sloping from both
extremitles towards the centre, where it
is crossed by little purling stream, at
which thirty thousand dying soldiers lap
ped, or longed TO lap. A large plot on
both sides of the stream is marsh land,
impossible to be used. Inside of the
stockade, and close at its loot, is toer-
able deep ditch, while portions Of the
" desd line" still remain, forming an in>
ner circle. The ditch is grown up with
fIwcrs and ferns, many oil thsm very
pretty, but | felt disposed to quarrel with
the soil for producing such lovely things.
Oh, how could it do so 7 Thorns and
thistles, with the deadly nightshade,
should alone grow in the stockade at An
dersonville
AS | glanced around, my eyes were
met in every direction by those glaring
sentry. boxes aud ielt that, had been
prisoner, should have delycd into the
earth, if only TO escape the relentless gaze
Of those pitiless guards. When once |
cast my eyes upon the ground the fascin.
alton was 50 intense that had difficulty
in raising them again Every spot |
trpd was consecrated by suffering and
death. The ground was everywhere
strewn with rags, old shoes, and bits of
leather, washed into the soil by rain and
trampled in by feet. At every few pa
ces little hllock, or hole, told the
story how a man, accustomed to New
England or Western home had learned
to live in a space a trife larger than a
coffin Hours at Home.
