9ADIGIK INVENTIONS.
"Thc Democrats have fshcd nm fnccr
| Union generals who they say viii vote for
| Seymour. But two Of them have publicly
| pronounced for Grant one of the others
| is dead one was punished by court mar
| tial two never saw d battle, and five left
| the army in disgrace. OF the remaining
| four, no namc has any weight but that of
| Slocum. II will not do for the coppcrs to

That name to descrtcrs and to such rebels
rs Wade Hampton, Kirby, Bcaurcca,d, and
thor fellows. The soldiers rs n body arc
Il unit for their commander. Some other
game must be tried"
The above malignant SANDER of some
OF the best generals in the Union army,
made its first appearance in the Phila,
| dclphia North Ancyicoa, a paper edited
by Hon, Morton M'Michael, :ho Eadi.
ca. mayor Of that city. 1t has, OF course,
been re copied into every unsorupulous
Radical sheet in the land, The only
list which Democratic papers have pub.
Iishcd is the following, which contains
the names Of moro than fifteen Of our
bravcst and best officers in the war.

viii the North american print this
list and point out the names Of any two
who have pronounced Cor Grant? Which
one OF the above list is dead Nearly
every one Of them bears on his person
marks of wounds received in the face Of
the enemy, but they al live, and to cast
their votes for Seymour and Blair.
What five or what one Of them retired
in disgrace Who were court martial
ed? In his official capacity as Mayor,
Mr.. M'Michacl has paid high honors to
more than one of the gallant soldiers in
this batanl yet party spirit induces MIN
nov to loully slandor them. lie has
turned out more than once at the head
Of the civic authorities of Philadelphia
to receive some OF these very Generals,
amid the grateful plaudits Of the people.
The chagrin that the Radicals ozpe<
ricncc in contemplating this list of
Union heroes who are heartily engaged
in the campaign for Seymour and Blair,
prompts these unworthy assaults on
them.
Without undertaking for one mo-
mcnt to dispaIage the soldiers who fnd
it their duty to support the candidate Of
the Radical rovolutionists, the Demo-
Gratis proudly contrast the above glori-
Gus names with the Radical Generals in
the following list
Ben. Butler, Dick Bustccd. Y. P. Banks,
C. II. 7. Coils, James S. Brisbin, James
VI Neil, Neal Dow, Samuel Burbridga, Dick
Frarchot, Bill Turchin Chas Van Wyck,
b Hunter, Carl Shulz, r. C. Schonk, Julius
White, r. X. Scott, A. Which, j. Kilpat-
rick, John W. GoNry, Danl Scklos, James
S. Negley, John 4. Logan, Il. L. Cake,
If the Radicals arc satisfied with the
comparison, we shall not enter into cou-
troycrsy with them. The Tribune some
time ago triumphantly asked what SOL
diers will vote for Seymour and Blair.
The two lists above may afford 4 salts.
