;. Accessions.
Our report of accessions to the Demo
cratic or equal Taxation" ranks are too
numerous to publish. 1t is easy to fill
columns of converts names from one side
to the other and these pass inspection
among readers at distance +; for instance
''Gen. John Windlass the gallant COM
mander of the Sutler Brigade (Ohio l9th)
always a consistent democrat, is on the
stump for Grant & Colfax, urging the PEG.
pie to pay tie bonds in gold as the under-
standing of the contract. and not in legal
TENDER as the base, hell -hounds OF the
Pendleton regulators insist"
tsIIon. Charles Winkatem, late the lead
ing democractic leader of Podunk, Posey
County, Indiana, has abjured the party OF
legal tenders and now goes for the glorious
.old warrior who accepts the Chicago nomi-
nation with that patriotic placidity which
, assures us peace
Col. p. Fitzpomr, a soldier Of the
peninsula under Nc Clellan and Of course
an ardent admirer of that eminent man,
the loser of leg and the recipient of a
ball in the right arm at the battle of Ske-
daddleburg, declares himself for Grant 4
Colfax, announcing his willingness to stump
the county of Pike, Missouri for those
distinguished soldiers
All this sounds pretty to ''the marines, :"
but posted n.en know it means ''blow' and
s'blow'' only. When you would learn
how the tide is tending, look at home !!
Learn of your neighbors what they are
doing. If changes are making ask what
is the effect. DO they injure equal rights,
or do they advocate the supremacy of
Capital? If your town, your village, your
school district indicates additions to the
great party whose destiny it is to clean
out The great Corruption Band now gnaw-
ing away your civil rights and robbing
you of the reward of labor, to fill their
parlors with rosewood furniture and
Italian paintings, their vaults with untared
bonds, their stables with thorough bred
horses and livericd lacqueys-if the de-
mocracy of your town is on the advance
against such barefaced abuses you can
safely count on the same sort Of an ad-
vance in other places. Men are moved
by pretty much the same influences. They
see things in the broad light Of general
common sense. The changes now are en-
massc from the Capital to the Labor side.
Throughout the west this is emphatically
the case. Look your town and pre-
cints over and answer. In. New England
we cannot hope for victories though we
may possibly secure gains. Most of the
untaxed capital of the Union is there, the
tariff profits are there, manufactures arc
there untaxed. The money bounties paid
to New Engl md and collected from the
other states fixes that section SO comfort
ably, that Capital desires no change, and
Labor, SO long dependant there, has not the
power to cut loose from its master. Not
so in the west. The jewellers on our wide
prairies and along oui crate rivers do not
depend on bonds alone, or bond owners for
a living. They kiss no gloved hands to
secure permission to earn their own living.
They snuff the cncroachments of Wealth
and when opportunity offers they will re-
sumo their right to breath the air Of indie
pcndence by voting that ticket which will
secure them equality in the government
a right they now have not.
