MFANcY.-As the infant begins to
discriminate between the objects
around, it soon discovers one counte-
nance that ever smiles upon it with
peculiar benignity. When it wakes
from its sleep there is one watchfal
form ever bent over its cradle. If
startled by some unhappy dream, a
guardian angel seems ever ready to
soothe its fears. II cold, that minis
tsring spirit brings it warmth; if hun
cry, she feeds It; if happy, she ca
resses It. In joy or sorrow, in veal
or woe, she is the first object Of its
thoughts. Her presence is heaven.
The mother is the Deity of infancy.

DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR VOTE


The Andrews clique admit that they
do not expect to elect their candidate.
The St. Paul Press of the 18th inst.
gave the following as its estimate of
the vote:
"Andrews, II .O0O votes
Donnelly, 400
Wilson, 1900 Is"
1t will be seen that they thus strive
to elect Wilson. whom they admit will
receive one thousand more votes than
Andrews. Do not throw away your
vote.
The Republicans of this District, af-
ter careful canvass by towns and coun
ties, make the following estimate of the
result
Donnelly, 1850
wilson, 1000
Andrews, oso0
In this they have allowed Gen. An.
drews the benefit wherever there was
doubtful vote. 1t is believed that he
will actually receive ono thousand less
than the above figures.
Republicans! With whom will you
votc-the men who give up the cleo
ton to a Coppcrhcad, or the men who
fight to win ? They can and will win.
Let every man do his duty, and Igua-
oos Donne''y will be elected by at least
two thousand if not three thousand ma
jority, and the District be saved from
the disgrace of a Democratic Congress-
man.
Do not throw away your vote!

THE 5000 CANDIDATE.

1t has been charged for the past two
weeks, in three. fourths of the ncwsp.-
pers Of this District, that Gen. An
drews received $4,000 a, 4 recon-
peose for his political suicide in being
the candidate Of the Washburn clique
to elect Wilson. This has never vet
been denied, nor can it be tru,htulyv
denied. Gen. Andrews knew that to
take the part he has, would be to ruin
him forever, and he demanded his pay
and received it.
The $4,000 was raised in St. Paul
and Minneapolis, and was contributed
to equally by Democrats and the Wash
burn clique.
Republicans will you vote for such a
man?

A LAST WORD TO REPUBLICANs.

But three days remain in which t.
work for the salvation of this Dis
trict. The time is short, but it is long
enough. 1t is long enough for every
man to determine whethe, he will be
represented in Congress by true, tried
Republican, or whether by voting for a
renegade he will bring upon the Dis
triet tho disgrace, tho calamity Of
Democratic success.
There Is no room for doubt. There
il no half way. G. c. Andrews cannot
bs slestsd 70 Congress. Every man of
ordinary intelligence sees this. Igna-
titus Doonelly can. The fight lies be-
tween him aud Eugene NJ. Wilson, a
Copperhsad. You must choose one of
these two. If you want Republican,
vote for 1gu.tius Donnelly; if you want
. Democrat, it is immaterial whether
you vote for Andrews or Wilson. The
result will DO the samoa Copperhead
triumph.
In the late elections, through frauds
the Democrats wrestsd from the Repub-
lean party six Members OF Congress.
Do not let them secure another from
Minnesota. Let the shame of Dan.
Norton which rests upon our State be
enough. Do not add to it the furthe,
riumph of Wilson.
We appeal to the sober reason o.
every Republican. We appeal to him
BY those principles which have held
him devoted member to the party
which brought the country safely
through terrible rebellion; which are
now pressing on to victory with Grant
and Colfax as their national representa-
tives; which must eventually bring
peace, happiness and prosperity. Stand
by these principles stand by your
party-do not surrender to the enemy
fight the battle to the end-vote for
1gnatius Donnelly, the only Republican
candidate for Congress in the 6eld-and
thus strengthen the hands of Gen.
Grant in his efforts to restore to the
American people united country.

NOW AND THEN.

We presume It is true that Gen. Andrews
imported Stephen A. Douglas for presi.
lent In 1860 although We are not certain
hat he stumped the state as presidential
elector. But early in 1861, when the call |
sounded 10 arms, Gen. Andrews enlisted in
Tho army as privatc.-M'nneapolis Tribune.
It Is true that Gen. Andrews not
only supported Dcuglus tor President,
but that he was on tie Democratic
Electoral ticAet. lie admits this in his
autobiography, scattered about by him
throughout this upper country last
spring and summer thick as the leaves
Of the forest. He did stump the State,
being accompanied on his tour by Ex-
Governor Miller, who in their discus
sions aayed this Democratic apostle
alive. G. c. Andrews was then an
active, persistent Democrat, running for
Office. And he evidently looks back
on that canvass with profound satisfac-
ton, for during the past season while
lAboriDg for support in Monongalia
county, for another Office, he met a
leading 1rishman, (whose name VIC havc)
and judging from his nationality that
he was a Democrat, said to him: II
ran on tho Democratic Electoral ticket
in 1860, and my principles are the same
no'o as they were Men." Unfortunately
for the General, his new made acquaint-
apcc proved to be strong Republican,
who utterly despised such treachery.
And the present course Of Gen. An.
drews shows that his symrathies are
still with the Democracy, to whom he
is lending his active support.
Again Gen. Andrews did not en-
list "early in 1861" He was not mus
tered into service until after the fal
election in October, 1861. Hc did no

such minute particulars Of his life that
no one is obliged to 90 to any great

any man would pray to have blottcd

parade it before people whose conf
