and like the old hen that laid the goose
egg, they would kill themselves and the
party in the operation. The true way to
look at the question is, that the Demo,
cratic party is the Devi2, and if its head
was entirely broken, the way would be
open to every reform. We defeated
treason and rebellion by defeating the
Democratic parry and now, we wish to
defeat the cunning conspiracy between
the Rebels, the Democrats, and Cana
dians, to rob our country and posterity of
the priceless jewels bought by the blood
of our brethren, we must throw every
thing aside but that one question.
We have tried this side issue to our
sorrow, and must now take lesson from
our misfortune, and return to those day s
of '6l, when the only question was, will
you 6ght for the Stars and Stripes. Do
you love the. Union Of our fathers? When
the Tocsin of War was sounded, and the
recrui. presented him self, there no ques.
tion Of Whiskey, or License, OF any thing
of this kind was asked. Let it be SO
again, and say, as party, to every legal
voter, that our only motto is, that "the
loyal shall rule" If you believe that
whiskey should be free as water to every
man that has 10 cents, all right. If you
only believe in.the truth of those great
principles offIuman Freedom, that were
sealed with the blood of Four Hundred
Thousand, Republicans, that is all we
ask. If you, on the contrary, believe
that man should never indulge more
than cups of coffee, 3 cups of teS. 4
ounces of tobacco, aud half dozen ce-
gars in day, that Apple butter should
be made without cider, and whiskey
should never be sold by less measure
than 10 gallons, to be kept in the cellar
for the daily collie, all right if you can
only vote TO keep the murderers of your
fathers and brothers from place and pow
er over us.
Now, Good Temp plsrs, Read the above
circular aud let it satisfy you that no
liquor issue can save our country. This
Circular was regular campaign docu-
ment, aud at the Same time an argument
dir ect in favor Of indiscriminate and un.
res trained traffic in ardent spirits; an ar
grment in favor of disorderly houses, ,and
of Sabbath breaking nevertheless, take
that to the private room of your Demo
cratic Deacon, on Sunday morning, and
pray with him until the Tuesday nom
ing of the election, and he still will vote
the Democratic ticket aud laugh at your
foolishness The above document should
be sufficient 20 repel every christian man
from the Democratic party, but long ex
perience has proven that party spirit viii

country and the interest of humanity
demand that Republican President be
elected in 1868. This is work enougt
for one day, aud to this every other pur'
pose must be subservient. All are vel
come to give to loyalty crown, and il
the language of Andy, the Apostate
once more "Nake Treason Odious. -
And in this, let all be assured that they
shall be protected in their rights, and
that they support party pledged to ont
and only purpose, Immediate salvation o
our country from the hands Of its enc
mics. They have won by fraud tenn
porary victory. The hosts will be mar-
shalle6 for November, '6S. Then shoul
der to shoulder let them be met, and q
2nd Gettysburg will send them reelina
to the Rapidan, or some other dam.
