the "Head Quarters OF the Executive
Committee ofthe Republican party,
at Galveston" which is thus no
ticed by tho Rusk Observer:
The address is headed,
To those who Lore the Union and
their LibbetyNi Il Il i X
do not let rebels scare or de-
ceive you. If any ono of them tries
to scare you, 60 and REPORT him
to General Griffin's Headquarters,
and he will be punished.
"If any one tries to scare or bride
you, either to give up your certifi-
cato of registration, or to vote
against your principles, go and RE
PORT THE RASCAL to General
Griffin's Headquarters.
ado not be fooled by mon who are
trying to induce you to change your
county residence by offering large
pay; it is only to keep you from
being at the election; they will dis
charge you as soon as it is over.
"Do not be fooled by colored men
who will try and get you to vote for
rebel and conservative candidates
they are paid to do SO with rebels
money"
And now comes the mammoth lie,
q THIRTY THOUSAND LIE, the
most stupendous SANDER in all the
series-read it and blush for the
weakness of frail humanity:
"Do not be fooled by those rebels
who profess to be your best friends;
they are the same men who tried to
break up the Government, so that
they might keep you and your chill
dren in always slavery. They are
the same men who massaered your
brother soldiers at Fort Pillow,
when you were overpowcred and
compelled to surrender; who starved
thirty thousand of the soldiers of
the Grand Army of the Republic,
who were prisoners at Anderson
vile, Richmond and Belle Isle
who have since the war murdered
over five thousand of your brothers
and sisters, at least two thousand
here in Texas; who massacred hum
dreds of your people, and burnt
their houses over their dead bodies
in Memphis;-who killed two hun
dred and wounded three hundred Of
your people in the city of New Or
leans, because they were in favor of
Liberty"
How base must be o man, who
can deliberately revive the stale
charge, that Federal prisoners were
starved by the Confederate author
tiles during the war? We had sup
posed that universal christendom
hand consigned this infamous fabri-
cation to eternal oblivion: - ~
"If they carry the elections, they
will disfranchise every black loyal
list and drive from the State your
white friends; they will not allow
your children to be educated, nor
you to discuss your rights.
Join the Republican Clubs in your
midst; attend every meeting and
take your neighbor with you.
"Send Delegates to the Republic
can Convention at Houston, on the
Fourth of July next, true, and 10y
al men representing you and your
interests.
"Vote the Republican Ticket at
the election. Do not be inundated
by rebel threats, Tor bought with
rebel money, to sell your vote, your
manhood and your liberty"
The concluding paragraph, how
ever, explains the true design and
purpose ofall the other-"VoTE THE
REPUBLICAN TIoKEr"-they want
the Offices, they want power and
patronage, they want to rob the
treasury and Cypress the people as
they invariably do where they get
to rule, There are many original
Union men in thissection who were
to secession, but we have
yet TO find one who could get low
enough to "Vote the Republican
ticket" and endorse the enormities
of that party. All such efforts to
the people, white and black,
will we trust prove abortive in all
portions Of the State.
