the expected election Of Seymour and

rebellion, aud as certain to restore the
South to every right she had before the
war, including the "tramplng into
dust by military feet, the proclamation
Of Freedom, and XVIII Amendment 10
the Constitution.
This contest presents a well-dehuei
issue between the friends and the enc

cannot conceive how any intelli-

faith violated, It's debt repudiated its
name dishonored, ats prosperity de

"iost Cause" restored, can vote against
Grant
In my judgement, the election Of
Seymour and Blair would forthwith
confuse and paralyze our business and
reduce the value Of our property one
half.

My Dear IL gives me great
pleasure to know that you fully appre-
ciate the consequences to all business
men, indeed, any one having an inter
est in the prosperity Of our country,
that must result from the election OF
General Grant
The question is presented to the poo-
| pie, whether they vii Iaid in elocting an
administration bent upon trampling
loyalty into the dust and eleyating up
on its ruins power controlle d by Reb-
oil chiefs, whose motto will be "The Re
bellion indicated" with prostration TO
every branch Of industry and business
at the North; or whether we should
place in the Executive Mansion one en-
| phatically Of the people, who hes never
acted but from just sense of duty TO
his country, and from whose admins
tration we will have all the blessings
that can flow from peace in every de-
partment of our Government, inspiring
n confidence that cannot but lead MS
to prosperity and happiness as ma
ton, and promising for ms future un-
equled IN the history of the past,
TO secure this end ! accept your gen.
erous contribution, and will apply it to
such proper nses ms may tend 10 bring
abont "A result so promising, with bless
ings TO US all. Sincerely yonr faiend,
ALEX. T. SrEwART.
