WHY WORKINGMEN SHOULD VOTE FOR

WHY WORKINGMEN SHOULD VOTE FOR
GRANT
First.-- Because the Republican party has favor
ed the workingmau in the levyng of taxes, on
the ground that equal taxation upon the millions
and lururies Of the rich, and the hundreds and
necessities Of the poor, WOULD BE MANIFEsTLY UN-
JUST.
Second Because the Republican party be-
ieves in equality Of human rights and just taxa
ton while the 500 called Democrats are seeking
to establish policy which will reduce to begga-
ry and starvation the workngmen of the North
and South, by placing equal burdens Of taxation
upon the small earnings of the every day laborer,
and the accumulatons OF the man worth his
thousands OF dollars.
Workingmen Of Baltimore county, ponder the
above well before you cast your vote on Tuesday
next.

What the COpperheads VIII DO, IT
Successful.

The fourth resolution of the so-called "Demo-
Cratic platform calls for ''equal taxation of
(" every species Of property, according to its real
"value 3" What then? Congress has removed
the tax from ten thouand different articles
which are constantly used by rich and poor
The tax now levied is upon spirits, fermented
liquors, gas, and a few other articles which cam
not really be classified as necessities. If the DEM
ocratic party is successful at the coming election
the sentiment of the above resolution will be car
ried out. EQUAL TAXATION WILL BE LEVIED ON
EVERY SPECIES OF PROPERTY, and you will see cop
perhead ax-gathererS in every street, lane, high

collecting from you taxes upon

And for what?
Simply that the bonds may be taxed Yes,
this copperhead policy would place tax upon
nearly seventeen billions of dollars worth of prop

billions of dollars worth of bonds, most of
which are held by persons of only moderate cir
cumstances.

Sweet babe, thy stay with us short;
Thy home was not below;
In that bright world where thou art gone
No sorrow you shall know.
Though quickly they have fed
And in the lone and silent tomb
Thourt numbered with the dead.
The wintry winds swept round our home
The bitter tempest blew
The clouds of death have gathered round.
And left our home in gloom.
We have a hope that cheers our hearts,
hope that's firm and sure,
We know he's changed this world of sin
For bright and happier shore. J. G.

Alas, dear mother, can it be
That thou forever hence art gomez
Where We thy face no more may see,

The dark and narrow chamber now
Is all thou hast of earth--thy bed
But ali thy spirit Is not there
Sweet mother, no i; above 1t scared
To join with kindred spirits where
Both ave and youth sing praise to God.
Now hapy landed on that shore
Where pain and sorrow never come,
No joys of earth could tempt them more
Back to its precincts to return.
No, mother, no ; for all are vain;
No lasting joys can it bestow;
It's brightest hopes oft token pain,
And chequered all its bliss with woe
Not so In Zion, mother dear,
Where thou roves with joy;
No griefor sin can enter there,
It's happy inmates to annoy.
There tho kind Saviour on his throne,
Enrobed in glory, light and love,
Welcomes all his loved ones home,

And may strive, while here stay,
To DO prepared to met thee there,
When death shall summon me away.

" Fyri,,0 the Southern Heart. -

We are on the eve of great battle, on which
as we firmly believe, the continuation of peace,
the honor of our country, the welfare, prosper
ity and safety of our citizens, depends. The
Republican party is pledged to peace, and the
whole spirit Of its platform is one looking to
the preservation of fraternal relations between
the States and the citizens thereof We have
had one war, and bloody one, through which
the country was carried honorably and victor-
ously by Grant and the brave soldiers of the
Republic, and we would willingly spare this
generation, and all coming generations, the
pain of witnessing the scenes of suffering and
horror that were necessary part of the recent
struggle.
Let us have peace" is the key mote of our
action and aim; to it we are pledged, and will
stand by the pledge in good faith, if we are al
lowed to do so by the traitors of the South, who,
conquered but awhile ago, would willingly re-
new that struggle, from sheer desperation at
their disappointment and hatred of the Union.
The democratic party intends, if possible to force
the country into another oar. This is fully shown
by the revolutionary letter of Frank Blair the
bold and reasonable threats of the New York
World, and the defiant attitude assumed by the
Southern wing of the party. No one can read
the Southern papers, or listen to the harangues
Of Southern orators, without being convinced
Of this. On this, tho eve of an important cleo
ton, it may not be amiss to reproduce the SEN
timents of a few of these Southern journals:
The Charleston Aercary expresses itself as
follows
"Not one honest man South of Mason and
Dixon's line is ashamed of the musket he bore
or the sword he drew in defence Of the Confed-
crate flag Tie platform of the demo-
cratic party is square upon the letter of General
Blair, and General Blairs letter is The legitimate

The election which takes place on next Tues
day affords 10 the young men of the country the
best opportunity that was ever offered in the his
tory of American politics to cast vote for right,
for liberty and Tor peace. No party has ever
risen which occupies as high and lofty position
as the glorious Republican party of the present
day. Side By side with the Christian church it
is battling for the evangelization of the world,
and for the elevation of mankind to ahigher and
nobler type OF human civilization. 1t has braved
obloquy, Misrepresentation and abuse, that it
might throw around the down-troddcn and OPP
pressed the broad panopy of the law, and rein
vest them with those rights and privileges with
which they were endowed by m all-wise and
ben6cent Creator. 1t is the great party of pro-
gress and reform its motto is upward and on
"ward, and its principles as eternal and i'm
mutable as the stars Its great leader has saved
our country from the peIils of disunon and will
again rescue it from its present danger Of civil
strife. Young men, you may never have anoth-
er, certainly never better, chance to help Sc
cure great and lasting triumph for the right.
Embrace the opportunity, and vote for Grant,
Union, Liberty and Peace.

If those who object to the bond and tax
ordnance would propose some feasible plan
to relieve the city finances, their objections
wouHi be more reasonable. The mere asser-
ton chat the action of the council in propos-
sing ito issue bonds is impolitic, will not sat-
isfy Nhe people of the soundness of that
opinion unless some other plan that can be
adopted successfully is put forward. We
md rstand some few of the property holders
are in favor of retrenching the city's expenses
by Stopping all work on the streets, and also
by saving the expense of $4,000 or SIS, 900
per month for lighting the city. They like
wise think that hereafter there shah be no
org!nized police under pay. Their argu-
melt for these changes is that if the streets
aresnot lighted, the people will stay at home
Mt hight and that if there is no police, the
citizens would band themselves together to
protect their homes and families. We trust
tina; the opinions of these gentlemen will not

The Republican attempts TO cast discredit
in advance on the bonds to be issued under
the ordinance of the council, for the purpose
of redeeming the outstanding city notes.
The Republican can see, in this measure only
a violation of law, and it supposes that +" a
day of reckoning is coming for these law
breakers" 1t does not inform us exactly
what law is violated by the legislation of the
council, but it seems to have some vague notion
that the city has no right to make provision
for the payment of its debts. because there is
some legal prohibition against the issuing of
bonds without the sanction of the so-called
Legislature. Now, in law this prohibition
amounts to nothing, provided the bonds are
purchased. 1t is simply warning to pur-
chasers that they take the bonds at their
own risk-in other words that, being issued
without legislative authority, the holders
could not obtain Judgment on them in the
courts of the State. The idea that the people
of New Orleans have no right to instruct
their council to offer bonds for sale on these
terms, is simply absurd-as absurd as the
threat that some time or another-for which
time the Republican graciously agrees to
wait, before proceeding to extremities- the
people of New Orleans, or the members of
the council are going to be punished by some
body, for making an effort to pay their debts.
The fact is that the issuing ofa bond is a
purely business transaction, and we should
like to know how the people of New Orleans
are going to be stopped from issuing them, or
how purchasers are going to be prevented
from buying them. The value of the bonds
will, of course, depend on the confidence
which is felt in the ability and disposition of
the city to pay them, and the ability and the
disposition being indisputable, we presume
that the transaction will be consummated in
spite of the attempt of the Republican to dis
credit it. 1t may be that the voluntary pay
ment of this tax by the people Of New Or
leans will leave the less for carpet-bag off,
cials-but we do not suppose that such con-
sideration will have much influence in this
community.
