federste soldier haszno cause to wage war
upon the National Democracy, and our
citizens have not demeaned themselves
in such a manner as 10 have dogs, aud
especially bob-tsiled yellow dogs,
elevated above them nor are they so
uDgrateful as to neglect or forget the
merits of deserving -Sidiers. The
wounds and heroic deaanS Confederate
soldiers speak far more eloquently to the
good Citizens heart than all the self
lsudations of Capt Thomas E. Moss.
The sensible soldier can not be pursuad
ed thar Mr.. Neal, much less Capt. Ran
die, would vote against maimed Con
federate soldier simply because he was a
manned Confederate soldier; and they
wilf not be insensible to the suspicion
that the issue wasslugged into the can
yass ouly for the purpose of making
votes. The man who could be induced
by such an argument to vote against an
Iether gallant Confederate soldier, against
whose record there is no blemish, will
always be a tool in the hands of Office
hunters, and should be ashamed to con-
isss himself such slave to such pre-,
