A CAMPAIGN BALLAD.

WRITTEN BY A. NC CURDY.
The presidential race has now begun,
And men to fill that office must be- sum"
The people oil, with one loud voice,
Say Seymour and Blair shall be their choice
The reason why is plain to see,
They'll 90 for taxing monied men,
As vel! as you and me.
With principles which have long been tried,
Our host will march with wondrOus stride
And drive the plunderers from their den,
And give the power to honest men.
The reason why is plain to see,
They'll tax the bondholder,
With you and me.
The black republicans will, this fall,
Like Jackasses, loudly bray and bawl
"Stop thief" when they themselves have done
the stealing,
With open hands and double dealing.
The reason why is plain to me-
That it's right for bondholders to pay
taxes,
Though this fact they cant see.
Their sinful extravaganza begins to tell,
And if continued will lead to-purgatory
But the people now begin to say
Wen choose a democrat next lection day.
The reason why is plain to tell
He'll save us all from going to--pur
gatory.
The blacks are running Grant and Colfa1,
And while mastering all their dirty brats
To help them do their nasty lying,
It's plain to see that their party's dying.
The reason why is clear to man,
Their leaders don't pay any taxes
To States Or Uncle Sam
The republican congress, led by Ben Wade,
Think they can run the government, in The
sLade,
But their shameful deeds begin to tell
That they're running the government down
to-purgatory.
The reason why, don't ask me,
But read for yourself and you
Can't help but see.
There is Ben Butler and John A, Logan,
With their Grand Army of Brigands,
When they whistle the q. A. RS must come,
To do the dirty work" they have begun.
The reason why is plain to man
They dent pay any taxes
To States, or Uncle sam
The old Constitution they no longer respect,
And their party stealing they will not detect,
But say to the people, awe are the way,
And that old Constitution we wont obey"
The reason why is plain to see
1t requires Thorn to pay taxes,
Like you and ne,
But the time is coming, and it wont be long,
Whom the democratic party, with its mighty
throng,
Will hurl them from power, to be no more,
And stand by the constitution, as they did
before.
The reason why is plain to see
They'll tax the b0ndholder,
With you aud me.
Then hurrah for Seymour and Blair,
For they are the very men
To save the country from ruin and shame,
And bless our fair land with peace, again.
The reason why is plain to see,
They viii all have to pay taxes,
Like you and me.

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMIEREg


Hail 70 the Chiefs who will win in the battle
Fought by Democracy for justice and right;
Long may their eloquence 10 our ears rattle,
Flourish the cause and God prosper the fight,
Heaven send them strength TO DO,
harth then shall never rue ~
Aughtthat is done by the noble and true.
Let the brave western men
Shouttill we hear again,
SeymouFAnd Blair, boys, for me and for yon.
Ours are no statesmen chance raised from the
lOWly, tH
Blooming at Washington, next fall to'fade;
when oppression has stripped US Of rights We
held holy 81
The brighter democracy comes from the shade,
Firmly anchored in right,
Proof 'gainst the storms blight,
Great the incentive proud actions to do,
Iowa and Illinois then
Ring TO their praise again,
Seymour and Blair, boys, for me and for you,
Proudly our banner has waved in Ohio,
And Illinois sons have bent low to the sign,
And Georgia too may God bless the trio,
Grasped New York by the hand saying "Dear
brother mine"
Widow and orphan boy
win gaze through tears of Joy,
On this reunion so fond and so true,
Butler and Stevens then
Quake when you hear Agen,
Seymour and Blair, boys, for me and for you.
Vote froomen, vote for the pride of this blest
land,
Let your voices swell high for the learned and
sage,
Up for the Union we know that you will stand,
Vote for the statesmen, purest, best Of the age
Oh that we'd more like them
Sprung from such parent stem,
All nations would bend to the Red White and
Blue,
Loud should Columbia, then,
Echo from hill and glen,
Seymour aud Blair, boys, for me and for you.

A Dig al tho Grant Platform.

On Friday the 18th inst, while the repub-
lican scheme for making bonds payable in
gold was under discussion in congress, the
following interesting coloqy occurred
Mr.. THAD STEVENS--I understand
the gentleman from Illinois Mr. Ross to
say that the bonds should be paid according
to the New York platform. What is that
platform :?
Mr.. ROSS. To pay the fvotwenues in
lawful money.
Mr.. STEVENS. What do you call claw.
full money p
Mr.. ROSS. Greenbacks. That is your
doctrine and mine, YOU know. Laughter. /
Mr.. STEVENS. hold to the Chicago
platform, and, as | understand it on that
point, to the New ! ork platform, that those
bonds shall be paid Just according 10 the
original contract.
\ MENuER. The law.
Mr.. STEVENS. According to the law.
Mr.. PIKE. The spirit and letter Of the
contract.
Mr.. STEVENS. What was that law
That interest should be paid up to a certain
time at per cent. in coin. After the bonds
fell due they would be payable in money, in
money Just as the gentleman from Illinois
Mr.. Ross understood it Just as he Mr..
Stevens understood it; Just as all under.
stood it when the law was enacted lust as
it was explained on the floor dozen times
by the chairman Of the committee Of WAYS
and Means. If be knew that any party in
the country would go for paying in coin that
which was payable in money, thus enhanc-
ing the debt one.half;) if he knew there was
such platform, and such determination
on the part OF his own party, he would, with
Frank Blair and all, vote for the other par.
ty. He would vote for no such swindls on
the Taxpayers Of the country. He would
vote for no such speculation in favor Of the
large bondhoIders and millionares. He re.
peated, Though it was hard to say it,l that
If even Frank Blair stood on the platform Of
paying according to the contract, and if the
republican candidate stood on the platform
of paying blosted spectators twice the
amount agreed to be paid to them, and o.
taxing his constituents to do so, he would
vote for Frank Blair, even if worse man
than Seymour headed the ticket. Much
| excitement and sensation.
Mr.. ROSS. The democratic doors ar,
still open, and the gentleman can be takel
in. Laughter.

There is freedmaa's bureau commission

than the majority of his fellow.oaiecr' in the

john Palmer, he radical candidate Cor
governor Of this state made his first speech
for the campaign, a few days ago, in Egypt,
in which he advocated the payment Of the
bonds in gold. That is as we expected
His party proposes to repudiate the con.
tract and pay the bondholders about 80 per
cent. more than is their due. Havley, their
candidate for congress in this district, lex.

course H"wley, Palmer, the Rim, and their
party are on the side Of the bondholders,

The selection of Gen. Singleton is one of
the best that could probably have been
made in the district. lie is an old resident
Of Adams county, an enterprising farmer, a

make a thorough canvass of the district.
He is a tower of strength on the stump, and
we hope will get occasion to meet Hawley,

name is, the radical candidate, on the stump.

TIE TURNER'S AND GRANT.

Die Zuttmf, the established organ of the
Turner's, the most liberal society of Ger.
mans, as far as free thought is concerned as
the most numero us in America, thus dispar.
agingly speaks Of the Presidential candidate:
"A smoking, whisky.soaking, know.nothing.
istie shoulderstrap wearer" And then goes
on to give four lengthy reasons why it and its
friends cannot support him, The third and
fourth Of these reasons are as follows:
L 8. We will not vote for Grant, because the
Chicago platform is not a forward, but retro
gade step. We will here only call attention to
that plank which declares that negro suffrage
must be carried out in the south, but not in the
north. BY this scurrilOus pusillamimity it is
sought to invegc conservative votes, but this de-
fusion will soon he dispellod, Whoever is oppos-
cd to negro suffrage in the north will wish to
the south exempt from the same blessing,
T. We will nst vote for Grant, because, by
the result ofth recent impeachment trial, the
powers Of the President have been enlarged that
10 place them in the hands Of an ambitious sol
der in case Of revolution or foreign war, may
prove the destruction Ofthe republic. Silent, am
bilious Grant is best adapted to carry out treas
enable designs, more SO than democratic Presi-
dent from ike civil ranks Democrats cannot
make matters worse than they now are. Let
them exert themselves to this end it will bring
the public sooner to its sober senses.
