But l must not dwell longer OF
these false pretenses put forth to de
eelve the ignorant and encourage th,
knayish. There is another matter
about which 1 wish to say something
about which wish to make an earn.
est appeal to every Grant man.
AT the October election, we elec
a member of Congress for this dis
trict. MIR. Wilson and DIR. Sanns ar,
the opposing candidates; the first il
a Union and Grant man; the latte
Seymour and Blair man. 1t is M
disparagement to DR.. Sanns to say
that Mr.. Wilson is every way hi:
equal in character and ability. NJ
one stands higher than Mr.. Wilson
as an honest and moral man; in his
action in Congress, he has always
met the wishes of the Union party e
his district. No complaint has eve,
been brought against his conduct as
member of Congress; ne vote ol
his has been condemned that have
ever heard of. AS to political intel
ligence and capacity he is the equal
of DIR. Sanns He is merchant and
Sanns Is doctor; the vocation of
the one is equally as honorable as
that of the other. There is then,
nothing to be gained in this respect
by making a change?
Mr.. Wilson Is a Union man, was
one, when the rebellion broke out, as
he proved by going into the army;
he is a Union and Grant man now
DR.. Sanns is Seymour and Blair
man now. If elected, he will vote
with these Kentucky rebels in Con-
gress and against the Union party
and policy of reconstruction; he will
do all he can to give up the Southern
States to the control of the rebels of
the South, and to restore them, with
the old corrupt democratic party, to
power IN the country.
Will it, then, be wise for Union
men, for Grant men, on any condi.
ton whatever, to vote for DIR. Sanns?
No true Grant and Union man can
vote for him without betraying the
interests of his party and the coun-
try. Knowing that Grant must be
this rebel party is now seek
ing to make his election fruitless of
good, by endeavoring by all means
to elect a democratic majority in the
House of Representatives. Such a
result would prove terrible calami-
ty to the public interests and the
nation. 1t would keep up this dis.
tressing conflict in the country and
prevent the enactment of such whole
some laws as are necessary to the
restoration of peace and happiness
in this great nation. Every induce
ment is, therefore, to be held forth
TO secure votes for Dr. Sanns.
1t is said that we should go for
him, because he is resident of the
that he will do something
wonderful for the county. What
'an he do with Republican Senate
md Republican President. Is any
nan fool enough to believe that Dr.
Sanns can help either friend or foe
n Republican Congress, and with
General Grant as PRESIDENT If,
hen, We have any local interests to
'ubserve, we must elect Republi-
,an, and not one who can have no in.
luence in or out of Congress. This
eason is put forth to catch gudgeens
md not in good faith.
l have heard that this argument is
,eing used; Grant men are urged to
'ote for Sanns, because those who
Ise this reason, promise to vote for
irant. No Union man, no real friend
# Grant, will urge Grant man to
'ote for DR.. Sanns. / say, fear all
uch men, though they come with
heir mouths full of promise. If
uch men can induce you to betray
our party and the best interests of
he country by voting for DIR. Sanns
t the October election, they will, as
ure as the Grst Tuesday Of Novem-
er comes, vote for Seymour and
Hair. BE sure Of that. Let no
rant man vote for the enemy of
ieneral Grant.
We can elect Wilson, unless Gallia
ounty is less faithful than she has
yer been to the Union cause. The
emocratic test of democrat is to
ote an unscratched ticket. Let every
Jnien and Grant man learn wisdom
rom our opponents; let them be our
eachers. Let US vote the whole
cket, being sure that in so doing,
re will vote for real Union men and
OF for rebel sympathisers. But
bove all, let no man claiming to
ote for Grant, vote for Sanns.-
aims cannot be elected, unless he {
IN obtain Union votes; and how can ,
Union man vote for one who, in
lie darkest days of the coun
y, during the rebellion, kept aloof
ON the great national Union party, ,
nd voted for Vallandigham, at time
hen, if he had been elected, his elec- '
on would have inaugurated civil i
ar in Ohio. No man, who in that n
ark hour, voted for the traitor Val
and thus did all he could ?
inaugurate civil war in Ohio, can r
yer have my vote, be he friend or t
e, relative or not: My duty to my '
,untry is higher than any duty 1 G
We to brother, or friend, or neigh 4
,r. And such 1 believe, will be the h
of every true Union man g
the eleventh congressional dis
ict.
