sword into their hands, which
you know they can raise only
for self destruction. Democrats
of the North, are your con-
sciences dead? Have you no hearts
no pity fer your Southern victims ?
Have their destroyed cities, their
devastated fields, have the hundreds
of thosands of their sons whose
blood they have sacrificed at your
lnnstigation, not yet given you your
fill? Will you never give them a
chance to return to reason? What
have'thc poor Southern people done
to you,that you should never cease to
persecute them with your cruel, re-
lentless, murderous, fiendish friend
ship? Tremendous applause Is
it not as if the policy of your party
were born of love of mischief for
mischiefs sake?, Which was the
most terrible curse for the South,
the institution of slavery or the
friendship Of the Democrat patty?
Is there no human feeling in your
hearts which moves you, no voice
of conscience which compels you to
desist from the most cruel wicked
ness? ..-.

Father, never let base traitors, o.,
In this land of brave and free,
Rule Ger those whose hearts are saying

Thus to Thee cur prayer is rising.
Thus we humbly come to Thee,
Asking Thee in broken accents,

usaal influx of males voting age
into northern Ohio from New York

not unlikely. To prevent these il
