THE MURDER OF COLONEL O'BRIEN.-We find
the following editorial in the Territorial Enter
prise of July l7th and especially recommend it
to those of our Irish fellow citizens who are now
hurrahing fo- Seymour:
A few nights ago party Of gentlemen were
seated over n bottle of Krug," in saloon in
this city, and good humor ruled the hour. Po-
litica sentiments freely discussed, and af-
ter several toasts had been drank gentleman
remarked: I'm Irishman and Democrat
Give Won a toast Federal otfice-holder re-
piled, /" Well, sir, if you are an lrishman and a
Democrat, I'll give you toast. Here's TO the
honored memory of Colonel U Brien, whom
besotted and ruff tnly mob murdered in the
streets of New York, encouraged and bounded
on by the traitorous harangue Of Democratic
Governor-Horatio Seymour. If you are an
Irishman, what do you think OF the arch-Demo-
crat?' It's good bet that lrishman will vote
for Grant.
In the history of the New York Anti-Draft
riot the following account of the dastardy out
rage above referred to, occurs
The murder of Colonel o Brien was, perhaps,
the most fearful of the many incidents which oc-
CURED. Commissioned to disperse n mob in the
Third avenue, he galantly charged upon them
with an efficient detachment of troops, and sue
ceeded in breaking the front aud turning the
face of the rioters. Having sprainrd his ankle
during the excitement, he stepped into drug
store ON Thirty second street, while his COM
mand passed on. The store was soon surround
ed, and the proprietor, fearing it would be sack
ed, begged the Colonel to get away as soon rs
possible. With brave heart Brlen went out
among the crowd alone; and while parleying
with them, treacherous blow from behind laid
him seuseless upon the pavement. The crowd
fell upon the PROSTATE form, beating and bruis-
ing it. For hours the bleeding body was drawn
up and down the street, receiving ii brutal treat
ment almost unparalleled, after which it was
carried, with shouts and grOans, to his resi-
dence. where the same conduct was repeated.
A priest, with kindly courtesy, interfered, and
read over the dead body the prayers of his
church. after which he directed the remains To
be taken into the house. Hardly WAS his back
turned, however, when brutal fellow stamped
upon the corpse, and his example was followed
by many others.
And these fends in human shape were ad-
dressed by Horatio Seymour, the Democratic
nominee for President, My friends"

Grant, Collar and Success.
AIR. Pldcters of Lincolnshire."

The long roll sounds from rocky Maine
To CALIFORNIA; slope,
1t echoes over lake and plain
And bears the nations hope;
The watchword starts from countless heart:
That ready stand to bless,
And one glad cry goes up the sky
GRANT, CoLrAx, AND Success!
The nations pulse heats firm and true,
The country's cry rings clear
The banner of the Boys in Blue
Is lifted far and near;
The ballot takes the bullets place,
Again the land they save;
Once more the laurels of the race
Above a hero wave.
A soldier true, a statesman tried
Ring out each glorious name:
GRANT stands with CoLFAx bv his side,
And both our homage claim.

that Grants ualne should never be mentioned in

unprecedented excuse was sent in that she was

however, though little informal 1t seems that
she WAS married clandestinely. about year ago,
but sensbly concluded she would stay at school
and finish her education before commencing
housekeeping. She has graduated now with all

U. 8. Grant 10 the Man.
AIR" Champagne Charlie"


AR" Champagne Charlie"
Some years ago, the Democrats
OF Southern name and breed,
They tried to burst the Union up,
But could not quite succeed;
For to the sturdy boys in blue,
There's no such word as - can't
They thought secession would not do,
And so thought Gen'r Grant.
CHORUS.
And y. s Grant is the man,
U. 8. Grant is the man,
That's a leader you can trust, boys,
That's a leader you can trust, boys,
U. s. Grant is the man,
U. S. Grant is the man,
Arrays faithful to the Union,
And always ready for the Jfgh!
So they who failed on battle fields,
Would now the strife renew, 4
And win by fraud, instead of force,
But alb it will not do:
For men of sense, and men of peace,
Are minded that they :" shant,"
We're bound, "you bet" to put it through,
And so is Gen raj Grant.
The man that fought at Donelson,
Is just the one, we guess,
To lead this nation, true and brave,
Out of the wilderness:
Another Vicksburg must we win,
Another Richmond gain,
Unless we conquer in the strife,
The War was all in vain.
And Southern men, we call on you,
Who long and bravely fought,
Once fairly beaten that's enough
Now do as brave men ought
Your leaders fooled You long enough,
Say to that crew, /" Apdunt!"
And rallv round the Union flag,
And vote for Gen'ral Grant.
Then fling the loyal banners out,
Well " fsht it on this line"
Till Grant within the White House halls,
Shall calmly smoke, and dine.
And, ere December's wintrv rays
Shall strike the world aslant,
Well cry " hurrah for Victory u
Hurrah for U. S. Grant ~
