Seymour and Blair Have Declared for
War. ..... .a...

War.
The Rebels are making desperate efforts
to prevent the negro from believing that
Seymour ana Blair intend to overthrow the
State governments in the South, abolish ne
gro suffrage, establish system of serfdom
or peonage, and inaugurate war for the
expulsion of all loyal white men who now
stand by Congress and the national authori-
ty. But their appeals are of little avail.
Frank Blair's letter has been read in every
cabin in the South. Frank Blair declared
for war and against negro suffrage and
was nominated by the Democratic conven.
ton for the declaration. Vallandigham
nominated Seymour and Seymour upon ac-
cepting the nomination at the hands of the
Ohio rebel, declared for war and against ne
gro suffrage. The cry of the Democratic
party from one end of the land to the other
is" DOWN WITH THE NEGRO !"
"DOWN WITH THE LOYAL WHITE :"
"Drive them both from the South" and let
rebellion and discord and anarchy reign tri-
umphant from the Ohio to the Gulf.
Poor Whites Loyal Whites! emancipa-
ted negroes negroes who have always been
free you now see what is before you. The
first battle you will have to fight will be with
ballots on the 3rd of next November; if
that is not won for Grant and Colfax, the
next battle you will have to fight will
be with bullets against Seymour and
Blair, and an army led on by butch
ers like Forrest and Wade Hamp-
ton. If you would be free, therefore
white man or negro work from this mo-
ment until the day of election with all your
might for Grant and Colfax. Let nothing
but work of absolute necessity keep you
from the greater work of saving your own
| personal liberty from slavery to the
| worst tyrants that ever cursed the face of
the earth. Work work work night and
| day, in season or out of season, at all times
and in all places. To those who cannot
read send some one with loyal papers who
can. Let no man be ignorant of the exact
issue. 1t is Peace or War, Slavery or Free
dom and nothing else. Grant and Colfax
are for Peace and Liberty. Seymour and
Blair are for War and Slavery Your ballots
for the former will shield you from the bul
lets of the latter. One drops like a snow
flake and achieves a victory without blood.
shtd. The other crashes through your body
and drinks your life current. Clutch the
former with the names of the Grant Electors
on them and hold them with death grip
until you, yourselves, safely deposit them in
the ballot box and our word for it the latter
will never be your portion.

A friend in Burke county writes as follows:
II made speech yesterday in the country to
about one hundred voters, and 1 am satisfied
that when finished, every man on the ground
was for Grant and Colfax. Unless appearances
are very deceptive we shall gain handsomely in
this county. The Rebs are working like beavers,
but it will be no go with them here. They are
evidently down in the mouth The Democratic

Disgusted.
at is not, nor 1t cannot come TO good;
But break my heart; for must hold my tongue"
Such might have been the mournful ex.
clamation of that damaged patriot, Voorhees,,
when he iefused to attempt to prop. up the
falling fortunes Of the Democracy IN Indiana
after hearing the news from Vermont. Poor
vocrheesl Like Othello, his occupations
gone, only 1a-like Othello, he never, of late,
has had a decent one. he feels the hope
lessness of the struggle, and rctires from .
contest in which be knows there is nothing
but defeat for him and his party. This loss
to the Democracy Of one Of their brightest
lights, and the discourag,ng effect il viii
have on them in the West, cannot be too
greatly estimated. Rats leave the sinking
ship, the camel hides his head at the coming
of the simeon, birds forsake their natural
element at the approach of the hurricane,
and Dan" Voorhees, refuses to talk uDem-
ocratic principles to the once untenifed,
but now badly scared, Democracy Of. In
diana. The enemy must indeed be weak
when such thing can happen, and must
have realizing sense Of the fallen condition
to which they have arrived.

Colored Democrats.

This is phrase which has of.late been of
ten seen in the Coppethcad papers. Is there
such thing in the whole Sodthas q colored
Democratic Can there be colored man 50
false to his race or 80 false to himself as to
cast his vote to help to powerthose men who
if they once obtain that power, would again
reduce the colored man to condition worse
than death itself2 Can there be a colored
man who would vote to raise to power man
who by his presence and words sanctioned
the murder of hundreds of innocent, molten
sive colored men whose color was their only
crime2 Can colored man forget that
Seymour looked calmly on while his Demo-
cratic friends were hanging to lamp posts
and beating to death with clubs and stones
men of his own race2 Can colored man
vote to raise to power that party who burn,
ed the Colorcd Orphan Asylum and murder
ed and maltreated many of the poor helpless
children whom their barbarity had just rem
dered homelessa Can colored man so far
forget himself and his race as to aid in any
manner men who have done this, and who
but for Republicans, would have done far
worse. Can colored man vote with party
one of whose acknowledged leaders is the in.
famous Forrest, who murdered in cold blood
over three hundred OF their brethren, who,
trusting to the flaws ofcivilized warfare, laid
down their arms9 Can colored man by his
vote endorse those men who refused toacknw-
ledge.the colored man as entitled to the ben
fits Of the rules of war, but wished to murder
every colored soldier taken prisoner If
there be colored man so false to himself
and to the interests of his brethren let him
feel the displeasure of his race, not by vio-
lence, but by treating him as man who
bears the mark of Cain, as man to whom
no name of infamy, except the name of Ju-
das could apply. On this election depends
the salvation of the colored people; should
the Republicans triumph their rights as men
and citizens ore secured to them beyond the
power Of any party to deprive them Of it,
but should the Democrats obtain the power
they covet,a that the colored men have gain
ed by the war will beirretrievably lost. Color
ed men assist those who would aid and pro-
tect you, and let the colored vote be cast as
unit for Grant and Colfax.
