MAKE NO TRADES WITH DEMOCRATS

| L
Hopeless of carrying the Seymour an,
Blair electoral ticket in this State, tn,
copperheads are bending all their ener
gies and employing all the intrigues the,
are capable Of, toward making Grades
in favor Of their legislative nominees
One of their plans is, when they find two
men who are intimate friends, or part
ners, one Republican and tie other .
Democrat, to have the Democrat agree tc
vote for Grant, if the Republican will
vote for the Democratic legislative
ticket. This kind of electoneering is
vicious and dangerous to degree-and
every Union man should refuse to be a
party to such a bargain. We have the
power, if We will but be true to its en-
ployment, to carry everything, in every
county, from electors to constable. l,
is the duty of every Union man to make
all the votes for his ticket that be can.
The more he can forage on the enemy
the better; but it is worse thap folly to
imperil our chances to elect a loyal
man to the United States Senate, by
making such trades as we have bin,ed at
This State will 60 for Grant and Col
fax, beyond any doubt in the world. We
need no Democratic votes to ensure the
result and the success of our electoral
ticket would be but half victory if we
should loose the Legislature. Not only
is it our duty and policy to make sure Of
the election of Republican to the Uni
ted States Senate, but we owe it to the
Union party in this State, as measure
of self protection, that the next Legisla-
ture should be controlled by Union
majority. If we win the coming fight
at all, it will be because the ballot box
il this State is guarded, by a just and
ri ghteous law, against rebel invasion.
Il is useless for rebels to colonize" in
this State, because our registration laws
are SO framed as to exclude them from
voting. The dearest wish of the copper
head host is to be able, by Legislative
action, to repeal that part of the registry
act. Look at Southern Indiana, at New
Y ork City, at Philadelphia, and be warn
ID against the dangerous consequences
Of permitting rowing rebels to register
heir names as voters. The Democratic
party would colonize the entire white
rebel) vote of the South, in the great
States of the North, lift were possible so
o do. To day, there are more paroled
ebels in New York than there are in
lew Orleans.
AL we need to do to accomplish foil
nd complete victory over the copper
eads, is to stand firmly by the straight
'nion ticket, State and county. No
nan does his duty to the Union party,
tho scratches single name upon his
icket. The humblest private in the
-nion army is more worthy Of patriotic
egard, and patriotic support than the
ighest functionary that ever swore to
upport the Confederacy, more entitled
} the right hand of patriotic fellowship
IAN the most polished rebel that ever
ore arms against the Stars and Stripes.
ny man who is, to-day, marching
nder the standard of Grant, and whose
anne is borne upon the ticket which
ears that great name at its top, is more
orthy of, and more entitled to the
earty support of all loyalists than the
oss respectable Democrat that is nom
ated Cor Official position.
Be true TO yourselves Union men, let I
Re consequences be what they may
r the smooth talking copperheads who
* your vote, would cut your party's ,
roat if they could get chance.
