NEW York, Oct ~.
FsLLow.ClTIJRNs On the third of
November You are TO register decision
at the ballot.box, which viii control the
government for four years, and affect the
destinies Of the country for all time. The
Democratic party entering into the cam
paign with practical reputation OF its
banner, and determination to reopen
the whole question Of Reconstruction, by
declaring all the acts relating thereto
yoin has met signal defeat in the states
holding elections in October. Around by

to deny its purposes as declared In its
platform Be not doceiAed.
The men who met in New York on the
4th of July, knew what they intended to
do il they could carry the election. To
inspire their followers in the South, and
their friends and sympathizers at the
/ North, they published their purpose to
+ the world--on this declaration they went

have tried to explain away its full mean
inc, they never denied it until they were
heater a, the polls They were TO take

guard,-the ballot. They mean to repu-
diatn the national debt, or at best to pay
, it in money which viii tarnish the nation

Fellow citizens, the country wants
'peacc. 1t has had enough of opposition
from the executive 10 the legislative de-

, withdrawal of Mr.. Blair, and that they
d mean peace and obedience to the laws, bu
I the spirit that animatcs them, may bt

IS the south.
!. We appeal to those who stood by tn,
! Union in its darkest hours, who have ney
II er believed the war failure, or that thos,
who stimulated rebellion, are proper per
sons to administer the government they

Y you, to rally once more, and by an over
