Ny DEAAR SIi,,-
When Frank p iill.ir who had no claims
whatever upon the Democratic party. was
nominated il Tamtutny Hall, with such
shouts of applause. Just after procla,mlne
that g Va hare d T. tsidem Wh0 WiA
tranptc 40 tdtNt IL laws Of Congress
and whun four Rebel Generals made thu
chief ratification speeches in New York, M,
attention, as Il War Democrat, was arrested
b. his remarkable exhibition.
Since then have carefully noted the OK.
pressious Of southern journals, and Ii,
speeches ii Southern politicians, from Wade
Hampton on lis return 70 Charleston. to The
recent manifesto of b H. Hill. and | fine
that every leading Retcl ia tile Coniederac,
regards the expected election OF Seymour
and Blair as n complete yindication OF tit
Rebellion, and us certain to restore the
South TO every right Which she had befur,
the war, including the '.lrampliug into dust
by military feet, He proclamation of Free
dom and the Fouilieenii amendment to u,
Constitution.
This contest presents well defined issu
between the friends ard The enemies OF on
| Government.
! cannot conceive how any intelligent man
| who does not wish the Rebels returned I,
| power, the Nations faith violated, its deb
repudiated, its name disnonorcd, its pros
pcrlly destroyed, its patriots insulted, an,
the ''Lost Cause restored, can vote agains
Grant.
| In my Judgment, the election of. Seymou
and Blair would forthwith contlse and par

To aid in avertng this calamity, | sen,
You herewith Twenty Thousand Dollars
