kindred ties between the German natlonalities now

GRANT AND SEYMOUR coxPAREp.
Ulysses 8. Grant fought under your flag and
marched from victory to victory, while Horatio ey-
mour never during the whole war uttered
patriotic sentiment or brcathed aspiration for the
success OF the Union cause. Seymour, q childless,
rich old man, said la October, 6l that II the Union
could not be saved without the destruction OF slavery

CoLFAx AND BLAIR.
As to candidates for the Vice Presidency we have

cratic party than ever did. 1 could quote rom
