Because my little brother had

But then could not see,
The reason why n partial nurse
Should give him more than me.

To think some lucklier neighbor has

OUR prospects are bright. y \ Y The old

SANDER. The voice of God Is the voice of the
people.-Theodore TiHon.
But what will Tilton say when the " Vos

thunder tones, through the voice of the
people, in favor of Grant? Will the " Vos
Del" be the Tor Populi" then. or rice
rersa, or what? If the voice Of the people
is only the voice of God when it speaks

EVERY MAN AT HIS POST.

We have the numerical strength to carry
at least two-thirds of the States in the
Union. All we need is to bring out our
full vote and victory is ours.
To bring out this vote every man must
be at his post Of duty, and labor unceas :
ingly from now until the night Of Novsm-
Der 9th.
We are assured of q glorious victory in
Virginia, but over-assurance may result in
defeat if we fail to bring out u full
strength.
We shall carry every Northern State II
our friends work.
We shall carry half of the Southern
States if our friends insist on fair play, and
demand justice at the ballot-box.
Let nc voter who believes Grant will do
better by the nation than Greeley, commit
the fatal folly Of staying at home because
he thinks we have votes to spare.
The larger the popular majority the
better. We can't have too many votes.
We may lack one of ar election.
The only safe basis to act upon is to be-
lieve that we need just one cote to sein.
Labor for this one until sunset Of election
day, and if we have q million to spare it
will make the victory more complete. Let
every man be at his post until the battle is
won and a glorious victory is declared in
Virginia.

PROSPERITY.

The South, despite the opinion of Mr..
Greeley, was never more prosperous than
now I; and this is especially true in Rich
mond-a fact that everybody can see. The
wealth of the Southern States is greater
than before the war. They raise what they
eat, and in addition to this, raise cotton and
tobacco crops equal, if not superior, to
any of the past. They are rapidly ap-
preaching a self.sustaining condition, and if
they continue to prosper in the future as
they have during the past five years, they
will soon have within their borders the IA
cihties to manufacture their own goods, and
rival New England in the markets of the
nation. This is what we desire above all
things to see.
All the South now needs is the removal
Of its foolish p~rejudices, and still more
foolish pride to fully complete its prosperi-
ty. When it accepts in good faith the
measures of the government, and judges
its citizens by their merits as men, not by
the color of their skin, capital, which now
awaits investment, will find within their
limits a field for profit and labor. We
look forward to the next four years with
confident hope that the people of the South
will see wherein their true interests lie, and
instead Of discouraging emigration from
the North, will invite it and make it well
come when it comes.
We call upon our Southern brethren to turn
q deaf ear to the demagogues who are
leading them astray. Prosperity, wealth,
happiness await them in the future. The
Union is the safeguard of their rights.
Within it they are secure. Let them aban-
don their old p~rejudices and fatal notions,
accept the results which civilization has
forced upon them, and the future will be
rich with rewards due their wisely directed
energies.

NEW

Since the October defeats the Liberal
party have resolved upon a new departure.
Through numberless chairmen it announces
with a floNrish Of trumpets, that now the
Republican strength is known they intend
to prosecute the campaign with yigor."
vigor is decidedly good at this stage of the
campaign. They have been plas ng fight
up to this time, but now they give us
warning that after this date they expect to
follow up their mastery inactivity with
vigor."
We thank our Greeley friends for the
timely notice. If they vote with one-half
the vigor with which they have practlced
Misrepresentation they will come in ahead
Of 0'Coaor yet. But we fear that their
political exchequer is too much depleted to
show much vigof at this late day. To
work vigorously requires tho sinews Of
war" as well as blood, muscle. general
good health, and faith in their cause. The
Greeley Democracy lacks all these. 1t
has been so terribly used, and so heavily
crushed by the heavy majoritics which have
piled up since its first vigorous effort in
North Carolina, that even the gas of
Schurz, the electricity of Upton, the
logical bellows Of Trumbull, or the
classical manipulations of Sumner cannot
be expected to infuse enough vigor in its
exhausted body to keep it firm on its legs
until the 9th of November. This is u
opinion. We may be wrong, but we be-
lieve the result will prove that the Greeley
party has been dying slowly since its first
deleat in the old North State. But we are
told that electricity can impsrt motion to
q corpse, so we may expect to see q show
Of vigor on the part of the Liberal party
before its friends abandon it altogether.
After the 9Th of November these spas
modic shocks of vigor will cease. All the
electric batteries in the Universe won't
cause a culver in its legs after that.
