white mans government, why are the
Southern Democrats collecting the colored

Cw w.TheICopperhead papers find fault
with General Grant because he don't
speak. The people, however, are speak
ing for him. Witness the Vermont cleo
tion.
E9S- Seymour says that he issued 10000

more against the South than his position
made imperative. That is SO.

comrades in arms.

meeting at Worcester, Mass, the other
night. In his eloquent peroration the
Senator said the cause was one which

open Bible and on bended knees, invoke
Gods blessing upon it, and such a cause
would be sure to triumph and bless the
land.

man in the country "has performed so
many somersaults as the Radical candidate

it would be saying to the rebels: I'VE
are sorry we whipped you; and as proof
of our repentance, we have elected man
