who was elected Democratic Senate

signified his adhesion TO the Republi

use his influence for the election of Gran
and ColfaX.
Horatio Seymour, when Governor o
New York, vetoed the bill giving soldier
in the field the right to vote. Why P
Because he, in common with all Demo
crats, instinctively knew that the sol
iders would inevitably vote for the Gov.
ernment, to support which they were
fighting. Their fire and their vote al
ways were true to their country and the
Union.
The Chicago Post has the following
When Seymour feels the cold wind OF
the Sd of November blowing upon him,
he will exclaim, as he exclaimed to
Lincoln during the war stop the draft! "
The Rebels, captured and paroled and
and still under their oath, now attempt
to dictate to their captors. They tell
US that il is the duty of the North, if We
love the Constitution, to secure the cleo
ton of Seymour and Blair. How long,
in the annals of the world has it been

uted for the Republican cause, but this
was the first political meeting they ever
attended. " The Quakers of Pennsyl-
vania are also to be out this year, it is
said.
The Baltimore Wecker states that Mr.,
Frederick Lauer, of Reading, Pa, with
one hundred and twenty-five of his en-
ployees, has announced his departure
from the bogus democracy, and declar-
ed for Grant and Colfax.
The New York Commercial, after de-
claring that the Republican organiza-
tion in that city is better than it ever
was, says: I'VE shall have more aid
from Democrats than we ever had. The
patriotic men of that party will cast
their vote for Grant. We cannot be
mistaken in saying that the Republican

of forty-five thousand. We tell our
friends in the country to be of good
cheer-the skies are bright and just as
sure as the coming of November will
Grant and Griswold carry New York. -
Said Henry Stanbery, Ex-Attorney
General four years ago, when you come
to vote, ask what candidate Jefferson
Davis and the rebels would wish elected,
and vote against that man." We ap-
ply that text now. Which, Grant orl

Democratic lawyer of ST. Louis, Gen.
