SIGNS N TOKENS.

~cordant, Dctter thht fraternity suoulu
characterize the counsels of a party than
that it should be torn by internal dis
sensions and strife, then surely the pres
ent aspect Of the Democratic and Re-
publican parties, respectively, unmis-
takably por,cnd a most signal triumph
for the latter. Never, siuce the organ
~ization of the party, have Union men
exhibited so much unsel6sh devotion us
ut present. Never has there been rs
hearty and unanimous enthusiasm.
Every member of the party seems to
regard himself responsible for tho re-
suit, and determined to make amy need
ed and possible sacrifice of time, money
or personal advantage for the good Of
the great cause. All old fueds are
buried, all i~ntet-party chickering's are
hushed, all personal jealousies are
smothcrcd. With n~nmistakable SINGER
ity and cordiality members of our party
nominate and support those who have
heretofore been identified with opposing
clans or factions. To the fullest extent
all are united, earnest aud active.
How is it with our political opponents2
Selfish rivalry for personal aggrand-
izement characterizcs every movement
Of the leaders, while rank and flo rs
well as leaders are divided rs widely as
pole from pole in opinion and principle.
Only on the single principle Of keeping
the lowly and oppressed in hopeless and
helpless subsection, and porpetualing
the %infcriority Of the ignorant and I'M
educated, is thcro unauimity in the
counsels Of the Democracy.
Between the Poace Democrats, rs
represented by Vallandisham, Pendle-
ton and Brick Pomeroy, and the War
Democrats US represented by General
Halpin, {" Miles 0'Reilly,") John A.
MeClernaud and Horatio Seymour, there
is q bitter, open, avowed and irrecon-
ciliable ~antagonism. With a very largo
proportion Of the Democracy Of Now
York, Connecticut, and others of the
New England and Middle States, Halpin's
paper and Horatio Seymour are omnipo-
tent. The influence and power Of Val
'landigham and Pendleton over the DEM
ocracy Of Ohio, the Northwest and a
large majotity Of the members Of the
party throughout the country, is quite
as absolute and unequivooal. Vallan-
digham, through the columns Of his
paper, promulgates his irrevocable de-
cree, warning the party that he aud
those for whom he claims authority to
speak will neither support nor accept
any candidate Of doubtful or equivocal
record as q peace man throughout the
war. And he notifies the Democracy of
the Halpiu school hat 1877 900 Ohio
Democrats, with their natural increase
since 1865, and the Democracy Of the
entire Northwest, are an indivisible
unit in favor of this proposition.
Through the columns OF the New
York Citt:ea Halpin responds in lam
guage which leaves no door for retreat
or evasion. Listen to the ring Of tho
following specimen sentences, and
doubt for q moment, if you can, where
Halpin and the States of New York,
Pennsylvania aud Connecticut will be
found after the certain and assured
nomination Of Pendleton as Grants
competitor. There is nothing Of eva
sive uncertainty in tho following, which
We clip from 4 late number of the Ch-
Tho organisation happens to be composed
OF conflicting and antagonistic elements /; a
large portion Of il consists Of actual, posi-
tive, unconvcrtcd and undcniablc peace men,
submissioni,ts, worshippers Of chivalry, ad-
mircrs Of the South, and fnnkies at its feet
men who would rather be kicked BY a South
crn man than kissed by Northern woman.
Thcse cravens go bodily for their representa-.
tive, their worthy %exemplar, George II. Pen.
dleton; will have him and no one else, and
actually despise aud repudiate Governor
Seymour rs too much Of n war man. They
are ~resolutc and yindictiye. They have &C.
cured the party machinery to their ~fayorite,
aud have given him u long start in advance
Of all other candidates.
We say, distinctly, positively, and I'M
changeably AZ the law Of the Modes and Per-
slams, that never will those for whom we
speak, help directly or indirectly, by asser-
ton or silence, by action or idleness, the
election Of tho utter Copperhead and false
hearted Northerncr, George H.. Pendleton.
Until water runs up hill, until trees grow
with leaves underground and roots above,
until the moon gives heat and the sun loses
its FIRE, until beasts become men and angels
turn to devils, until ice shall burn and FIRE
shall freeze, until everything that is impossi-
BILE becomes possible, and not then, will war
Democrats vote for the man who was false
not only to his country, but to his section,
example oil possible Northern meanness, and
who BY his indirect support to their foes,
slew their sons and brothers. Rather, a
thousand tunes, would they see the loyal and
moderate Republican, General Grant, in the
Presidential chair, u person who, II not agree
ing with them In all their views, Is much
more nearly their representative than q Cop |
perhead whose prudence kept him nom being
q traitor.
These be brave words, and are evi-
IDENTIFY heartfelt. Halpin cannot sup
port a man who spat upo the flag and
made the uniform which he wore a sub
ject of ~reproach aud derision. Vallan-
digham cannot and will not vote for
those who ~applsuded his arrest and os-
tracism. rsItrr .1H ,n7a
The hosts of the lion-hearted and pa
.riotic Grant present a solid front and
are imbued with the %livliest enthusiasm.
The enemy is divided, torn by dis
sensions and demoralized. "''
