We accept the action Of the grcat Convention Of
the Soldiers and Sailors, and Of the people, ut

dark cloud Of the Past, and gaze, rcverently, on
the bright "bow Of promise which the Present
reveals.
Success Is assured. The electoral vote Of
twsaty-six States will be given TO our candidates.
The ticket Is strong and the platform sound.
wewould not change the former; we would not
add TO, or subtract from the latter. Both will
be endorsed by the patriotic and liberty-loving
people Of the county.
At the head Of the ticket, We have valor,
frmness. discretion. We have the man who,
under God, IVES raised up Cor the EFFICIENCY, to
be Leader and . peliverr,-who, in the dark
night Of the rebellion, dscerned the light on the
other shore, and who, directing the ''tramp"
Of the loyal army. snufied out the infamous con-
spiracy against the government. In the second
place on the ticket, we have the man for the 90
casion-one. with clear, sagasious mind. COM

the front. Thanks be to Col who giyeth US the
victory.
The Union Republicans Of New Hampshire
have right TO a voice on the pending Prcsiden-
tial campaign. We struct the keynote In
March. for the whole country In November. We
sound the rcveille. We order the advance. We
shattered the bstfalions Of the enemy, and We
do not propose 10 strike our colop till the spirit
Of the accurssd rebellion is everywhere dead.
Those men, who, during the great struggle,
were in sympathy with treason, nusi 90 10 the
rear. There Is no future for them. Their sons
may escape the doom Of their fathers by q
timely repentance, but they must remember
that the eleventh hour has come and nearly
gone. ...
Halt, young man, where you are, and turn
from your evil ways, that you may havea part
| In the great victory that awaits the faithful.
Come in out Of the storm, all We wanderers IL
Is blessed thing TO be ON the winning side,
,chsa hat side i,risht.
The Democratic party Is at sea- Its learders
are advertising for platform and candidate
for man to lead the forlorn hope. They do
not inquire icho Is he, nor indeed, irhaf Is he
but ,rhsrs, oh tell Us, rhsrs u hel The extrem-
est black Republican in the whole land, like
Judge Chase, would be acceptable to them In
their distress. But nothing can save them. not
the superboundng grace Of Andy johnson, nor
the mur,icrous work Of the Ku-Klux-Klan, nor
any other creature. They must kick the beam.
Such party, with such record, Is doomed to
be buried under an avalanche Of popular oppro-
brium, with no sign visible Of the coming Of the
bright resurrection morn.
The world moves-and We srecatching Gimp
ses Of the coming glory Of new era Of progress
and equality. Slavery Is dead. The Rebellion
Is dead. The country Is saved. The men who
saved Il, by the blessing Of God, win control 1t,
and there is no hope for the sympathi,ers with
treason. Don't Hattcr yourselves, you who
didn't blame the South for scceling-who said
we couldn't conquer the South, and who aided
and abettcd their stupcndous crime don't
fatter yourselves that your political sins viii
ever be forgiven in this worid. You viii do
well to bend all your efforts towards the next.
You have seen the last Of your new moons, and
your appointed feasts. Grant and Colfax will
march Immediately on your works, and wiH ae-
cent no terms 6ut unconditional surrender"
