By fhese SIGNS win We conquer.

upon what Foundation their hopes and
confidence are built it lis difficult to
imagine. Since the announcement of
the name of Grant as their candidate,
and since the certainty of his nomina-
ton became known to the country,
elections have been held in Connect
cut, California, Oregon, Idaho, KEN |
lucky and Montana, every one of
which has proved disastrous to their +
cause, and tended to give assuranc of
the triumph of the Democracy at the
election, Besides these
signs the press all over the country is
publishing the names of distinguished
members of their party who are dis
gusted with their anti-republican prin-
ciples and corrupt practices, and join
ing the ranks of the Democracy. From
the many notices of those who have
deserted the Radical ranch and .es-.
poused the Democratic, cause, we pub
lish the following, clipped from the
few papers that have come into our
hands:
Dr. Morgan, prominent and infu-
entinl citizen of Evansville, Indiana,
who has been lifelong opponent of
the Democracy, has left the Radical
party and come out for Seymour and
Blair. He made great speech at Ev-
ansville, Wednesday night, and the
Courier of that place, in its conclud-
ing paragraph, noticing the effort,
says: Is t.... - -.
:. We cannot at this late hour follow
the Doctor further-suffice it to say
that his speech was one of the most
convincing and effective we have eyer
listened to. To use the expressive
terms of an enthusiastic Democrat !:
Every word he spoke weighed ten
pounds We hope to hear from the
Doctor often during the campaign.
Mr.. Babcock, a leading Radical of
St. Louis, has announced himself for
Seymour and Blair. There are thou
sands of Radicals in each State who
are disgusted with their party, and
will join the Democratic Conservative
party in driving the Radical destruc-
tiyes from the Capitol! The people
are tired and sick of their manage
ment of public affairs. They want
economy in expenditures, equal taxa
ton, and the abolition of the, negro
bureau, which are established for the
purpose of preventing white suffrage,
and perpetuating discord in our cotn-
try. a,f ~ ,,.I -6.la;,tt ~, lfe 4e
The Hon. Richard Gregg, of Aurora,
Dearborn county, Ind, lifelong
Whig, and Republican at the organ
ization of that party, came out in a
public speechin Aurora, last week, for
Seymour and Blair.H.Ie, bnlHed!
ANOTHER TRAITOR ."--The WarTick
Herald is greatly disgusted because
Mr. G. d. Robertson, hitherto a strong
Republican, has renounced that party
and made a speech at a Seymour rati-l
fication meeting in Boonville, a few
days ago. It calls him a Straitor," :"
renegrade, etc. Who's skeered ?-7zN.

Captain VIM, W. Gray, Of Titusville,
Pa.,,I for a long time one of the most
efficient Republican workers in that
place, has dissolved his connection
with the Radical panty, and taken his
place in the ranks of the Democracy.
He made a speech before the Titusyille
club, not long since, which is repre-
sented to have been one of the most
telling of the campaign. b9i'n91E9 /.
Mr.. Andrew Weyant was nominated
by the Republicans of Licking county
as their candidate for Commissioners
In letter to the 4naeriqaa; the Radie
cal organ, he declined the nomination
and announces his Intention to vote
for Seymour and Blair. Mr.. Weyant
believes with Chief Justice Chase that
the time has come when all honest
men should band together against the.
the revolutionary Jacobins." Humid,

General A.. Saunders, Piatt made q
speech at West Liberty, on the l4th,
and announced his intention Of. voting
with the Democfacy.o Said General
Piatt: "I now leave the Republican
party and take up arms against radical
despotism.- The General, la alengthy
argument, gives his reasons fofleay-
/ ing the Republicans, who are in favor
of unequal taxation, who indulge in
the partisanship of hate, and who do
not seek the restoration and paqeeiiftiile'ae- aqeitiile q

e. Stephen J.. Meany, formerly q. Re-
publican editaFg IN Teied0, can't go
| Grant. AT "a Fenian meeting i'll Wash4
ington Mr.. Meany came forward and
announced that he had been an adyo-
cate of General Grant; his name had
been to him household word; but
only did he illdorse him as a soldier.
It would be q shame for the people to
place him in q aposition for which he is
notified; gitwouldnot be right to elect
a man, as affairs are now, who has no
policy and Grant has said that he has
none !. and there should be given to us
a man who has a policy, and will carry
it out. il4iod 10 fH3fHLnq rot T9q"H.Hlp i,
