PEACE AND PROSPERITY.


We believe the election Of General
Grant will insure US permanent peace
and prosperity to the country UNI
known in It's past history. We believe |
By the election OF Horatio Seymour,
the good results arrising ont of the late
war will be lost to the country, and |
that anarchy and ruin, terminating in
Civil War will DO the final result.
The loyal people OF the Nation de-
sire . permanent and lasting peace, and
aa assurance that our public affairs will
be administered with honesty and a
rigid economy. The people are tired
Of war and the talk OF war and wish to
turn their attention to developing and
building up the matirial resources of
tho country, and to do this successfully
O feeling of peace and security should
pervade the public mind.
BY the election of General Grant we
have the assurance that the Reconstruct
ton Acts Of our loyal Congress will be
enforced throughout the Southern
States; that the expenses of the Gov
eminent will be reduced; that the in
terest on the public debt will be paid :;
and that means will be provided to Ii
quidate the entire national indebtedness
according to the spirit and letter of the
| law.
We believe that if the principles of
the Republican party are triumphant
this fall, feeling of Peace and Security
viii settle over the country, such as has
not been felt for years; and that the
millions of dollars of capital now lying
idle in our eastern cities will at once
be thrown into circulation-invested in
Manufactures, Railroads, and other
public improvements that the attention
of Congress, as well as that of the en-
tire people, will be turned towards the
developing of our vast national resour-
ces-to the education of our children,
to the encouragement of the Arts and
Sciences, and that we will have reign
of Financial Prosperity hitherto un-
known to US as nation.
Here in our own State we have Rail-
roads to build, Manufactures to estab-
lish and our'vast Agricultural resources
to develop, which cannot be done with.
out the aid of Eastern capital. To &C.
cure this we should endeavor to place
the administration of our National af.
fairs in the hands of honest men-men
tried and true-men that the people
have confidence in. The moment this
is done new era will dawn upon oul
land; the people will feel secure; a
new impetus will be given to capital
and as the West offers the greatest in
ducements to capitalists, we will be
lifted from our state of abject poverty
to one of Peace and Plenty-the slug
gish feeling that now enthralls the pub
lie mind will be quickened into new
life by the bright finacial morning that
will dawn upon us.
Let us, by the election of Grant and
Colfax, show to the world that we are
truly and heartily tired of war and its
demoralizing effects. Let us, as loya
and patriotic citizens, stand by the prin.
ciples of the Republican party, and say
to rebels North and South that the law
of Congress is the law of the land, and
that we Will not abate our vigilance un
til every State in the South is restored
to its former position in the galaxy O
States; and furthermore, let us, b,
voting for Grant and Colfax, declare tc
Traitors eceryaohere, that we are iN ia
vor of paying off the public debt accor
ding to the spirit and letter of the law
thus securing to ourselves and our chill
dren that Peace and PrOSneritv that VIC
have SO long and SO ardently hoped for
