Young men, many of you will tomorrow
for the first time exercise in commo with
some five millions of your countrymen the
glorious privilege of participating in Presi-
dental election. A few Of you have perhaps
concluded 10 place in the ballOt-box the names
of men who are pledged to vote for Horatio
Seymour. Stop moment! Look forward a
few years; suppose yourself alive in the year
1900 and some curious youth asks you when
you threw your first vote for President. You
answer, Sin 49," "Ah!" says the youth, shat
was the year when the people at the close of
the second Revolution elected Grant; vener-
ate the man who signalized his advent to the
exercise of the first right of American citizen
ship by voting for that greatest of warriors and
that best and wisest of Presidents the worthy
successor of Abraham Lincoln, after the I'M
fortunate and disastrous interregnum of An
drew Johnson" Think then, young man
with what infinite modification you will be
forced at the age of fifty-five to acknowledge
that you voted for the hero of the New York
riots and against the hero of Vicksburg and
Appomattox!-tha you voted for candidate
who was bullied into accepting the nomination
by Vallandigham and against the candidate
who was nominated by the acclamations of the
loyal people and the loyal soldiers of the Re-
public!-that you voted for the unanimous
choice of the Rebel army and against the idol
of the Union army.

The Aggus Cossfottnded !!

We cannot but pity, while we laugh at, the
the awkward work the Argus makes in trying
to keep up the courage of the faltering, falling
mourning ranks of the Democracy AS GER
tain as it ever was of anything in its life that
Grant and Colfax are to be ele cted most tri-
umphantly tomorrow, yet by virtue of its po-
sition-bound to insist to the last moment that
the skies are bright and the prospect glorious!
The leaders of the vanguard cry to it, "Help
Cassius, or we sink" And in return it beps of
them TO keep their heads above water awhile
longer and all will be well! That though Yer
mont Maine. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Nebraska, and West Virginia have all gone
for the Union triumphantly, yet by some Won
urous mesmeric power large majority of
them will sacrifice to Baal when they vote
again
How pitiful it is to mind With one senti-
ment OF honor remaining, to be obliged, by vir-
tue OF the slavery of his position, day after day
to say and do things so unworthy of man and
which he knows to be so false! "Pity, my lord
pity. for him who grovels at youI feet-for
while he knew his conduct was beneath con-
tempt, he had such pains in the pursuing of i'll
as carried its punishment along"
From the opening of the campaign at New
York on the 4th of July, till this very day, 1t
has been obvious to calm o. server that the
rebel programme there laid out would fail as 1t
deserved to. This the Argus knew as well as
any one The editors heart came like lump
to his throat, when the telegraph gave the
name of Seymour! The party cried out, "we
are ruined! We asked for a soldier and you
gave us a rebel-sympathizer! We asked for
Hancock and you gave us Seymour. From
this time forth, till the Sd of November, we are
sentenced to strive to make our followers be-
lieve a lie!" And SO they have all been at it ev-
er since. And when we see the Argus testy
and fractions, we recollect its wretched posi-
ton and overlook it. We would not punish a
dog under such circumstances. The hardest
thing we can say, is, $50, poor devil there are
rooms prepared for you in the Salt River (or
