the Union, we say: Come out and lend
your presence to the Inauguration Of
an uprising which is to redeem Wheel
ing and Ohio county from corrupt and
disloyal rule.
The enemy's lines are already waver-

ing HOPELESS contest they are almost
ready to capitulaie. We have but to
close up along the line and move on
the enemy's works and they are ours.
Under such leaders as Grant and Duval
there's no such word as fail. To those
if there be any, who have felt luke
warm and discouraged, we would say
the skies are bright with the dawn OF

Though the lords of creation deny You

intelligent interest in the political prob.
lens OF the day; and though they claim
to be the sovereigns, we know there is
often power behind the throne greater
than the throne Itself. Come and hear
the pleading of eloquent tongues
speaking in behalf of the Great Soldier
who, if ever it WAS true that "none but
the brave deserve the fair" deserves
your presence at Washington Hall to-
morrow night. Seats will be provided

country.
And if our friends across the river,

When nAyies are stranded.
