THE WA1CH E1RRS BURNIAG.
In all sections Of tile Union the De-
Inocracy are heartily entering upon. the
work of the campaign. The movement
for Seymour and Blair among the masses
is spontaneous. The people are doing
the work. They are organizing clubs
and holding rousing meetings without
the aid or urging from outside commit,
tees. No party ever entered upon a
campaign more ehesrfqlly OF with greater
confidence.
Important changes from .RadienhsultO to
Democracy are announced in all diree-
tiOns. The Milwaukee, Nelos, of the 18th
inst, publishes an able argnmentatiye
address to the people Of Wisconsin, from
Hon IT, g. Webb, for the past four years
the representative, Of the counties Of
Wausharn, Marquette and Green Lake in
the State Senate He abby reviews the
plans and policy of The Radicals, and
concludes by advising all who love their
country and its institutions to vote the
Democratic ticket. s d.f4 ...l.1i7l
The National HatellsgeHcer, ofthe 18th
/ inst, publishes q scathing review Of the
Radical policy, from the pen of Col D..
s. Curtis, of Wisconsin He has heres
tofore been a Republican, but can no
longer support the debt and taxation
policy, Col Curtis has felt the steel and
bullets Of. war, and his words are some
thing like these nissives,' He closes his
review Of Radicalism as follows: I
"But il there be one party which, more
than another, does not. deserve theaupport
Of citizen soldiers, it is this Republican
party "a party which has been loudest in
professions Of regard and favor for the SOL
diers, which has received most benefit from
them, yet ii has been most neglected., most
indifferent towards them, and shown most
singing ipgratitude; with its recent con-
duct and It's present attitude, II is less en-
titled TO the political support OF soldiers,
from the fact that il is not their best friend,
nor the best friend to the country, its peace
and prosperity. True, its cOurse has en-
ticed a few Generals and other officers in
the Freedmen's Bureau, but at the expense
Of the taxpayers. What then? 1t leaves
their widows and orphans, and the crippled
soldiers, TO grind organs or beg in the
streets for a livelihood, while il keeps
whole families of stout, able-bodied civil
ians in lucrative offices, who never laade an
hours sacrifice Of ease, comfort, or safety
in the army for the nations protection.
Such is the gratitude of the dominant party,
or its leaders and politicians, for the brave,
patriotic men who suffered ard died that
the nation might live. These, with others,
are the reasons why cannot longer sup
port the Republican party, and believe
them TO be sound reasons why soldiers gen
orally should not support it with their
votes" ...a.ls @ FL
