THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.

Voters, before you deposit your bal |
lots next Tuesday stop and think what |
is at stake.
Remembr that the Union men of the
South are looking to your action as the |
last hope of their being delivered from
a political thralldom that has been crush
ing them to the earth for years. They
cannot help themselves. They have en-
dured everything, and many of them
have suffered death for the sake of their
love and devotion to the Union. The
South will have to be abandoned to the
rebels if the Democratic party is sue
cessful next Tuesday. On your Votes
hangs the veal or woe of the Southern
States. Shall your Union brothers look
| to you in vain2
Remember that the watchword of the
Republican party is Peace, while the
Democratic candidates openly declare
for revolution and threaten assassina-
ton, and that Democratic stumpers
talk about the 'Tashes ofcivil war, if the
rebels cannot have their own way of
governing the Southern States.
Remember that the Republican party
| put down the Democratic Rebellion.
Remember that the Democratic party
discouraged every measure to prosecute
that war, and even on the very eve of
| triumph, declared the efforts ofthe Gov
eminent to put down the rebellion a
failure, thus clearly indicating their
sympathy with the rebellion.
| Remember that while Horatio Sey-
mour was addressing the anti-draft ri
oters; while he was sneeringly saying
"our soldiers run well this years" while
he was presiding over the convention
which declared the war a failure
the noble hero who now heads the Re-
| publican ticket was successfully fighting
for the preservation of his government
against the very men who are now OPP
posing him and supporting Seymour.
Remember that not rebel or a man
who sympathized with the rebellion is
supporting Grant or any of the Repub-
lican candidates. They all vote the
Democratic ticket.
Remember that the Republican party
abolished Slavery.
Remember that the Republican party
has been the steady friend of that great
internal improvement, the Pacific Rail-
road, and that under its fostering pro-
lection that great enterprise has been
pushed to success so far.
Remember that the Republican party
is the friend of the oppressed every
where and will protect its foreign-born
citizens.
Remember that the Republican party
is in favor of preserving the financial
integrity of the United States, and that
most of the leading spirits i'll the Demo-
cratic party openly advocate reputation
of our debt.
Remember that the heavy taxes un-
der which you groan are levied to pay
the expenses of a Democratic war,
brought on by that party without prov
ocation.
| Remember that under Republican ad.
ministration SSO00O0,O00 of the debt has
been paid since the war, and that at the
present time the only manufactured ar
ticles subject to tax are distilled spirits,
fermented liquors, manufactured tobac-
co, gas, matches, and playing cards.
Remember that the city government
of New York, where the Democrats
have ruled for years, is the most profit
gate and corrupt on the continent, and
that it will not do to let them manage
the affairs of the government if we
would be saved from financial ruin.
Remember these things and vote on
the side of the old flag, for Peace, Pro-
gress, Prosperity, Union and Liberty.
