IF yog want anything, call on ouT'
friend Judge Thurman.
While Thurman, far, far from the
smell Of powder, was rolling his lux
ury and rolling his pets in luxury
where was General Hayes2 History
answers-Gallantly facing the rebel
rain of grape and canister with his
life in his hand and his soul in the
work, struggling to reach some An
dersonville, Salisbury, Belle Isle or
Libby to lead our CHASTITY famising
loyal boys past the varying dead
Line" to where
Beneath the starry flag, we could breathe the
Of the free land in their own beloved home"
Boys in blue which shall be your
Governor
Soldiers, soldiers fathers, broth
ers, sons or friends, will you vote
for Thurman and ever raise your
heads in loyal company? Well says
Governor Tod, God forbid that
ever loyal soldier should find in
high authority at the capitol snch
enemies of their country and of them
as Vallandigham, Thurman, Olds,
Pugh & Co." And all the people
shall say Amen!
But, my friends, those who knew
and voted for Vallandigham Will
know and vote for Thurman. Those
who voted for a traitor ignororantly
are past being enlightened on any
subject We can now count their
vote as swell in October. Their vote
for State officers has been singularly
the same since 1861 when Tod beat
Jewett 90 since then it has been
once trifle above, and twice a
trifie below Valiandighham's vote
Its. 600 with no greater increase than
by about half the new voters, in their
own families, while our vote has
gone 4 1000 under them and 1O1 ,O99
over them. In 1S62-34-5 their
vote in thousands stood 1S4-187-1S3
1S9; ours fof the same officers were
17S-2SS- -236-228; while their stero-
type vote varied but a trife, ours va
ried 10000 in the four years.
Beaten in 1862, we were aroused
from our sleep and alarmed. They
were encouraged not by what we
had not done, and in their excess of
JOY dared to bring out their full
blooded, simonpure embodiment,
Clement L. Vallandigham ,and polled
them to the tune of101, ,099 majority.
Their vote this fall will be 1S5,000
about their average. We can 60 100
900 over it if we increase our ma
Ijority one vote as to make num-
ber easily remembered I01, ,100?-
Thurman deserves it, and we can do
it if we choose. Will not the fight
between Buckeye Sheridan and ''Old
Funeral Swing Round'' wake us up
to give our whole vote? They are
fixed. Our opponents are joined to
their idols, let them alone. Our
business is to wake up our own
slumbering hosts or we may find
ourselves slaughtered as in 1862; or
like the children of Israel, whom the
Lord slew in their sleep to awake
early in the morning, behold they
were all dead corpses. Shall we go
to sleep to awake on the 9th of Oc-
tober, all dead corpses ? So
Waste no time in trying to convert
Vallandighamers. They have com !.
mitted the objectionable sin and
there is no forgiveness neither in
this life nor in the life to come, I
fear. But SAYS one of these Valland
igham- Thurman Breckinridge Olds-
Booth- -Confederates s.Gray, What's
the matter? You used to vote with
us, what's the matter 2"
Suppose we examine little into
the symptoms Of my disease, and
perhaps we can tell what's the mat
ter. Observe the diagnosis, doc
tor.
/ have been exhibiting my tongue
for about an hour, so the indications
from that are understood and per-

quite willing I haul it in about
now AS to my pulse, when traitors
began to throw hard shell water mel
ons into Fort Sumter, my pulse ran
up suddenly to 377 per minute
when the flag came down, the fever
increased and my mind muttered Of
sulphur and saltpeter.
When our boys left Bull Run, the
r blood left my face, my pulse stopped
till, as Artemus would say, hadn't
putt. Cold cbills came over me,
and it was with difficulty that / could

heard of others affected in the same
