PendletOnian Cancellation.

Now, what is the conciliation which
Mr.. Pendleton and the other orators
propose 1t is not a new demand with
them. When Wade Hampton and For
rest and Lee were at the throat of the
nation. these same gentlemen advised
conciliation by submitting to the rebel
lion, Now that Forrest and Hampton
have been defeated in the field and hope
to save their cause at the polls, these
gentlemen advise the same Cancellation
by surrender. In other words, they in
sist that Forrest, Hampton, and their
friends shall have political power in
their States to the exclusion of loyal
men. Mr.. PendletoD is in favor of the
Cancellation of black codes and the good
will Of the Ku Klux Klan. The millen-
mum which he melllfuously predicts
reveals itself in Georgia by the expul-
sion of the colored members; in South
Carolina and other States by the alter
native offered to the colored population
of submitting to their own degradation
or starvation; in the country at large

he supports that the organization of the
Southern States shall be overturned by
the sword. The conciliation preached
by such apostles as Mr.. Pendleton and
Mr.. Cox is such as has become dismally v
familiar to the people of the United
States-it is letting the most trouble
some, spiteful and dangerous people in
the country have their own way.-Har-

Blair in Gallon, 0.
Beastly Drunk!

An eye witness reports
that Frank P. Blair was so
Beastly drunk, while at Gal
lion, a few days ago, that he
could not stand up. He
had a whisky bottle in his
pocket while on the stand,
and when he left, had to be
assisted to get on the cars.
Ourreporter says that Dem
ocrats at Gallon became
disgusted, gave vent to great
Indignation and swore they
would not vote for him,
Those who saw Blair give it
as their deliberate opinion,
that if he persists in his
beastly course, he cannot
possibly live but a very
short time

An Appeal To the Boys WHO
Wore the Blue.

An Appeal To the Boys WHO
Wore the Blue.
You are called upon at the Octo-
Der and November elections to
charge the enemy to move upon
their works in solid column. You,
who were the very life of the ma
ton during the bloody civil war,
when the national existence was in
peril, when the dark clouds hung
thick and ready to burst, with all
the vengeance Of the traitors on
your heads, you who followed Sher-
man on his march to the sea, you
who followed Grant to the Wilder
ness to Appomattox, you, who
stormed Vicksburg's lofty heights,
and you vote for the men who called
you Lincoln dogs,o Lincoln hire
lings," "Hessians," sInvaders," &c.
Do you remember when our armies
were depleted by sickness and
death by bloody battles, and by reb
eli bullets, below defensive condi-
ton, when we thought that all
earthly hope was gone, then these
taitors cried 'stop the draft"
You who at Chattanooga, during
that terrible seige, feasted on roast
ed acorns, and stole the corn away
from mules to keep soul and body
together, can you, will you, tram
pie the cause under your feet for
which you fought and starved. +.'-
You, who suffered worse than
death, the gnawing of hunger, think
before you vote. A word to those
who endured the prison pens of the
South. The very men who starved
you, the very men who shot you
! down, if you attempted to escape,
are to- day the very democrats who
sought to DESTROY the Government
of our Revolutionary Fathers.
Have the American people SO de
generated that they will fight fer
their country one day and tear it
down the next? Shall we, who
marched through triumphal arches,
erected by fair hands, disgrace our
banners, dishonor our comrades,
whose graves checker the banks of
the Tennessee, the fields of Shiloh,
Stone River, and six hundred other
battle fields, by affiliating with trai-
tors, murderers and assassins, who,
when you were guarding their prop
erty, shot at you. Where is the
consistency? Remember your hard
marches, your sore limbs; should
you enter a rebel dwelling and ask
for cup Of cold water to quench
your thirst, they would call you
cut t-throats, Lincoln thieves &C.
Think, before you vote, what is
Seymour what is Blair :? one or
both would sell their birth right to
satan for an Office. Sey mour at
whose wink the smoke of burning
colored Orphans Assylums had
scarcely died away, before he comes
in and asks the votes Of soldiers
and citizens, to make him President
Villain of Villains! Nerer! NEVER !!
NEVER!!! Let us follow our gal
liant captain who led us to victory
at Vicksburg, Mission Ridge, Look
out Mountain &c, whose sterling
patriotism saved our nation, and
peace, prosperity and happiness,
will again gladden. the hearts Of the
soldiers, widows and orphans.

We have often expressed our alb
horrence of the diabolical spirit of
intolerance which actuates the Cop
perhead party of this country. Who
can forget the dark days when
Northern men were compelled to
abandon their business in the South
for merely giving utterance to the
dictates of their conscience, and
were prosecuted like criminals? 10
ride them on rail, or mob, or
threaten to throw them into the riv-
er, was rich fun for the fiendish and
uncivilized Copperheads of those
days. ..s
But as we come down to q later
late, who can recall the terrible
massacre at New Orleans, without
horrors, Wholesale murder of men
without any possible provocation on
their part, except that they were
Republicans, and loyal to their coun-
try. In the eyes of Copperheads
and rebels, to he true to the old flag,
constitutes the most obnoxious
crime. But even a negro, if one
can be found, who admires the lost
cause, Immediately becomes a dar-
ling of the whole Democracy, al
though his black skin may be three
feet thick, and without questioning
whether he has been washed for for
ty years. The massacre at Camilla,
adds another chapter to the infamy
of the Copperhead party. Their
spirit of intolerance remains the
same if not more so than tefore the
war, but their power of execution is
probably diminishing. The Repub-
licans of Georgia ought to hold a
meeting at Camilla, and if prohib
tied by the rebels and traitors of
that place, the United States Gov
ernment should Immediately send
enough boys in blue to blow the
whole town to hell. We are in ia
vor of allowing the opposition to
hold as many meetings as they
please ard where they please unmo-
Tested, and insist upon the same lib
erty for our party everywhere
The Democratic party of to-day
is the party of intolerance and ret
repression, and we thank God that
our heart never throbbed once in
sympathy with it since the day we
learned it's name. To every man
who desires the fullest liberty for
all, progress in all that is noble, ele
waiting to mankind, we say vote the
Republican ticket, and you will re-
member that at act, in all your fu
ture days, as the proudest and wisest
of your life. .-.,

Republicans of Wyandot, the mem
orable contest Of 1868 is drawing
to close. So far as the State elec
ction is concerned. there remains
but three working days. We most
earnestly hope that our Republi-
cans are ready for the sacred work
before them. r
% In times like these, when the
questions to be decided at the bal
lot box are whether the victories of
the war shall be perpetuated, justice,
triumph, and the rights of all men
recognized, or whether all that was
suppressed by the defeat of the reb-
el army shall be resurrected, and the
leaders of the late confederacy die
tate and shape the policy of this
great nation. we say that in such
times, for American citizens to be
Indifferent is absolute criminality.
Shall loyal men rule the country, or
shall rebels be enthroned and those
who saved the Government be re-
duced to disgraces and subjected to
insults, robberies and death ? See to
1t friends that every Republican in
your several townships votes. See
to it that rallying committees are
appointed. Challenge doubtful vo,
ters. Stand by the ballot box and
swear before God that its purity
shall be preserved. Ifyou know of
a. man who cannot walk to the polls,
see that he is conveyed there Re
member, Oh remember, that the
elections of next Tuesday will ac-
tually decide the question of the
Presidency. Work, then, not for
the sake of mere men, or party, but
forIyour glorious country, your pos
terity and your God.

US re- endorsements and bounties;
and for comforting pensions upon
the widows and orphans of our fall
en- comrades; for organizing and
controlling the great Sanitary and
Christian Commissions, and thou
sand other noble agencies of patri-
! otic benevolence; for building Gem
eteries for the illustrious dead; for
/ relieving all branches of industry
from taxation; for enforcing, by
constitutional prohibition, the per-
petual rejection of the rebel debt !;
for consecrating by constitutional
guaranty the payment of our own
national debt, including the pen
sions and bounties to our soldiers
and sailors. But, more than all, for
responding to our earnest appeal by
nominating our beloved leader, Gen.
Ulysses s. Grant, as their candidate
for President of the United st ties.
In view, therefore, Of these hos
tile preparations for new rebellion
with profound sense of our obli-
cations to our country and to the
Republican party, we call upon ev-
cry citizen who wore the Union blue,
whether on land or on sea, to cast
his vote in the coming elections for
the United State tickets and for
Grant and ColfaX. ,.- II E-
And further to mark alike the sim
cerity and the efficiency of our solm-
emn declaration, we invoke our late
comrades in armes to set apart the
election day as period Of unremit-
ing exertion and unceasing vigilance
and we hereby formally announce
that on the 18th day of October
next, in the States of Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska, there
shall be observed among our com
rades as a general holiday; and we
call upon all employers, manufactu-
rers, and business men generally, to
relieve their Workmen on that day,
who have served in the Union army
and thus assist in completing this
patriotic purpose. Victory on the
18th of October will be Sheridan s
victory of Five Forks, marshaling
the way to Grants trancendent
triumph on the appomatox in No
vember.

Address of the Bows,

Oenefal. N. T.. Cnlpman, at q
great meeting in Independence
Square, read the following address !:
Grateful to Almighty God for be-
ing permitted to assemble in this sa
cred spot we, the representatives of
the survivors Of the millions Of
Union soldiers and sailors who
fought against treason in the recent
war, reverently renew our obliga-
tions to a rescued Republic and a
purified Constitution.
Gathering here in the great city
pre-eminent among those communy
ties distinguished for their generos-
ity and loyalty in the darkest hours
of our national troubles, we do not
come as partisans. We meet to pre-
pare to discharge the new duties de-
veloped upon us in a new crisis
more perilous than the conflict from
which we have just emerged, and to
call upon our late comrades in arms
to cooperate with us against our
old adversaries.
Infamed by the same passions led
by the same leaders, exulting in the
same name, these adversaries are
now projecting another conspiracy
seeking to recover by violent and
dishonorable means what they had
lost in their resort to arms.
We assemble in the interests of
peace alone. We propose no plans
of war. Taught by our own suffer-
ings, and by the sacrifices of our
slaughtered brothers, we keenly ap-
preciate the value and the necessity
of peace We know that this great
people, through all their interests,
long for. repose, yet we can not de-
ny that the present peril of the Re
public is even greater than it was in
the darkest hours of the rebellion.
In sucl. an emergency no Union
soldier or sailor can hesitate. He
will remember that Horatio Sey-
mour is emphatically the leader
of the new rebellion as Robert E.
Lee was one of the old. He will re-
member that Horatio Seymour was
nominated by a Convention entirely
controlled by the officers and poll
ticians who plunged the country in
to civil war. He will remember that
the revolutionary part of the Dem
ocratic platform was devised, and
dictated by rebel General, as a
condition Of the rebel support to the
Democratic party.
He will remember that the Demo
cratic leaders, now full of sympa-
thy for the Southern rebels, never
contributed a dollar to the public
treasury during the war; never de.
nounced the savage treatment oi
the Union people Of the South OIL
the Union prisoners Of the North
and never rejoiced over the triumph
ofour arms. aa .-.. 5st5
He will remember that the blue
uniform is a badge of disgrace in the
South, and that every Union soldier
from the General sent to execute the
laws, to the private in the ranks
has been, and cont naes to be, the
object of the inccssant assault anG
persecution of the reoel leaders,
He will remember that, since the
nominations of Seymour and Blair
Union men have been assassinated
by hundreds in the Southern States
But while these memories arouse 6
righteous resentment, there are 9th
ers that inspire a noble gratitude
We feel that we are indebted to the
Republican party for standing by
US, without fiinching, through al
our perils and privations for voting

I There have been indications within
the last week or two that our Irish
born fellow-vot do not all intend
to be led by the nose by the Demo-
cratic leaders in the present Presi
Dental campaign. There are evi-
dences that at least respectable
proportion Of them propose to break
loose from the Democracy, and act
with independence and intelligence
/ in their exercise Of the right Of vo-
ting. Graut Clubs, with large
Irish American membership. have
heen established in this and other
cities. One of the most vigorous
and popular Irish-American news
papers, the Irish People, has de-
clared for Grant and Colfax. A num-
Der of prominent Irish-American
politicians are workin effectively on
the Republican side.
We welcome these signs, not mere
ly as giving promise Of adding to
the strength Of Grant, but as furnish
ing indication that the Irish element,
which has in times past gone with
the Democracy through thick and
thin, and which in all the great cities
of the country has been the Demo
cratic mainstay, is preparing to as
sert it's freedom Of action, to eman-
cipate itself from the control Of the
corrupt Democratic leaders who
have used it for their own profit,
and to act more in accodance with
the independent spirit of Republican
institutions and more in sympathy
with the great body Of the liberty
loving people Of America.
We desire the Irish born voters
in this country should appear, not
as Irish, but as American voters
We desire that they should act, not
at the bidding of priests and poll
ticians, but according to the dictates
of their own Judgment and con
science. We desire that they should
vote, not from bigotry and prejudice
but with intelligence and knowledge
1--WE desire that no such thing should
be known in our politics as the Irish
faction, but that this should pass
away and be lost in the all-compre-
hending solidity of America.
When Irish Americans who are dis
gusted with Democratic corruption.
weary with the deceptions practiced
! upon them by Demo cratic .leaders,

Disguise it as you may, the only
question now before the country is
peace or war; the only one that is
to be decided by us On the 18th of
October and the 3rd of November,
is whether the patriotic men OF
the North who periled all that was
dear to them to save the constitu-
ton and Government that was hand
ed down to them by their fathers,
shall be permitted to secure the
blessings of beace, or whether they
will surrender all to the direction of
