Remember!

Every voter, to-day, will remember that Ho-
ratio Seymour is as emphatcally the leader of
the new rebellion, as Robert E. Lee was of the
old!
He will remember that the revolutionary
part of the Democrat platform was devised
and dictated by rebel General as a condition
of the Rebel support to the Democratic party.
He will remember thai Seymour was noml
mated by convention entirely controlled by
the officers and politicians who plunged the
country into war, and that when it was pro-
posed to change off Seymour and Blair for
better men, all the traitors and conspirators,
North and South, set up howl as though the
rebellion had actually broken out again.
If these remenbraLces do not cause the
voter to throw his ballot against the Southern
traitors and Northern dough-faces, nothing
that can be said, will hinder the disgrace that
will attach toany man who carries a Copper.

Look at the-DisDntches ,

Look at the dispatches this morning, voters,
and see if you can find it in your hearts to
vote for continuing the rebellion that broke
out in Tammany Hall on the 4th of July, and
eliminates in the South to-day, on the eve of
election. If fate had ordained that Seymour
should be elected to-day, tomorrow would be
sorry day indeed for "nggers," "carpet-bag-
gers" and "scalawags"-in other words for the
poor, the Northern emigrants and the loyaists
of that part of the country. Vote against

Il Precursor,

Already does the victory awaiting the Re.
publicans work good to the oppressed. A
gentleman in Richmond, writes that the as
surance of Grants election has had a most
happy effect in Virginia, and the bellgerents
are beginning to treat Northern residents and
Southern loyalists-that is, carpet-baggers and
sea awags-ditferenty from what they have
been accustomed to do of late. There are signs
of the coming OF the promised peace under
Grant. The signs will be much more appar-
ent at the close of the next twenty four hours.

Fifteen Hundred murders ,

AT the lowest possible estimate fifteen hun
dred persons have been assasinated in the
Southern States since the close of the war
solely because they were loyal to their coun-
try. Had Hannibal Hamln been President,
not one in hundred of these lives would have
been lost. seymour says that Democratic
President 'can do no harm" for there will be
Republican Congress to watch him. 1t is
barely possible that the Southern loyalists
decimated by the loss OF 1900 of their number,
may think sthat some trivial disadvantages
arise from just the state of things that Sey-
mour considers so beatifc. But then, what

SEYMOUR says that our credit abroad is poor
because of bad financial management by the
Radicals. The fact that gold goes down and
government bonds appreciate in value as
Grants election becomes sure is a striking
commentary on Seymour's doctrine. If Grant
is elected reputation is dead, and the funding
of the debt at low rate of interest will become
for the first time practicable through the in
creased confidence of the public.
