the hands Of the "pet lambs, the enfran-

'THE election of Seymour means war. y"
Precisely SO. 1t means war, and nothing
but war. War upon the Radical party and
all its iniquitous measures. 1t means war
upon military despotisms aud negro suprem-
acy; violations Of the Constitution, oppres.
sive tariffs, overwhelming national debt,
ruinous and unequal taxation, official corrup-
ton, plundering of the national Treasury,
the Freedman's Bureau, useless standing
army. Upon all these Radical abuses the
election Of Horatio Seymour means war to
the knife, and the knife to the hiltI" And
when it has overcome these great national
evils; when it has completely subdued the
Radical faction that for eight long weary
years has ground down and oppressed the
nation; when it has thoroughly reconstruct
ed that reasonable, revolutionary organiza.
tion, then, and not till then, the war shall
cease. And this war has already com.
menced. The serried battalions of Democ-
racy have taken the field, and under the
honest and capable marshalship of Horatio
Seymour, are marching forth to victory
Their banners are flung to the breeze, in
scribed with letters Of living light, 'the
Union, it must and shall be preserved"
This is the war which will follow the election
Of Seymour, and the hosts of Radicalism
may as well prepare for defeat now, for it
is as inevitable as that a just God lives

GEARY AND TIE SoLDIERs.-On the
9th ult. John w. Geary, the Governor Of
this State, addressed Radical meeting at
Uniontown, Fayette county, in the course Of
which he said that-"a soldier who would
vote for Seymour and Blair wos not true
man, and rouM hare deserted his flag IN
the hour Of battle; that the man who could
stand up in the face of three millions and a
half of his living comrades, and insult the
memory Of the four hundred thousand
heroes who sleep in Southern graves, by
voting for Seymour and Blair, is coward,
aud if he ,oa, IN tie army he uas there as
hummer for the purpose Of stealing, and
the soldiers who were acting with the Dem
ocratic party were traitors, and deserved the
scorn of all true men,"
Hans Geary always was a consummate
Ass, and is now evidently also crazy, and is
a fit subject for the lunatic asylum. 1t is
humiiating that such man now disgraces

SENATOR HARLAN, in the Senate in 1868,
called Grant butcher and drunkard; now
he has gone off to California to stump for
him; he wants to get as far away as posi-
Bile from the place where he thus denounced
his candidate. Mr.. Harlan is considered
good Republican authority. Had some
Democratic Senator thus spoke OF the great
(?) military chieftain, it would have been
met by all the Republican press in the
country by pronouncing the charges egre-
giously false. But Mr.. Harlan said he
Grant was butcher and drunkard. !"
What have the Good Templars' herea-
bouts got to say in reference to these
charges? Can they sustain Grant? Will
they vote for him, and thus 60 against the
very object of their society? We shall see.

GEN. GARFIELD, Of Ohio, in a recent
speech. indicated policy for Gen. Grant,
who, it will be remembered, has assured the
people that he has none Of his own. He
declared that il was the intention Of Grant,
if elected, and of the Radical majority in
Congress- to govern the country by the help
of "a Ettlc triangular piece Of steel, called
a bayonet" Garfield has thus unwittingly
let the cat out Of tho bag. lie says the

moulded to their bloody will as clay iu the
