of its principles among the people, firmly
believing that the iildoctrination OF its
teachings among the masses of our voters
could but advance the highest good OF
our common country, and tho best in
terssts OF mankind. But the detection of

his nomination and acceptance 10y the
democracy foI the high position no

perirncc OF the past has but too dearly
taught us, in my Judgment, gives mo no
further use for such u sheet. and | re-
specially ack It's discontinusnce and u
proportionste amount of the subscription
paid refunded, which, following the ex-
excellent example of the Tribune, you
may send by z. D. order, to my address,
Lisbon, n. H. And further. | not only
ask but demand il, Is al act OF justice
between man and man, for the following
reasons:
lst, am Republican, and believe in
the doctrines and political policy and
honesty of the republican party, and de-
sire an able paper, advocating lis claims,
and devoted 10 its success.
2d, When the subscription was paid,
You were republicans. and the Tribune
was devoted TO the interests and success
Of the republican party, and in your cir-
curlarS aud prospectus OF the paper, you
pledged yourselves. in the future rs in
the past, 10 labor 10 promote the interests
and the principles OF the same, which
you now fail to do. making breach OF
the contract. and as AIN poor. | much
need the balance to assist me in paying
Tor some paper in harmony with my
views.
Sd, usually take some able democratic
papor in all exciting campaigns. but
when desire one, will subscribe, much
prelerring that way to having one forced
on me.
4th, The Tribune has ever strictly de.

dollar paid. and not substance in dis.

neither get the substance al value. 10 me,
Tor am still republican. and that has
ceased 10 be, and it is vile calumniator
of the republican party and lis members,
wreasing all over with political copper
head slime, rolling in political spostasy
and Tammany dirt, sneezing when Tam
many takes snuff, eating Southern dirt TO
get the plaudits OF Southern Ku.Klux
and secessionisls. and the vile monsters
that starved our martyred heroes in The
late rebellion.
Last. though not least. the welfare OF
our glorious country, with the republican
party saved. and the welfare OF the
humble and lowly, demands the crown
ing success OF its past labors; while, il Il
partial or absolute success OF the dem.

blight the brightest hopes OF the African
here, the unity of our Republic. and The
hopes and prayers OF the oppressed in
every land Neither the Tribune nor its
candidate can firmly believe, with the
practical success OF the democracy in
the State governments and Congress,
q President could hold the boisterous
elements in our country, for n moment;
and if in New England, "the land OF the
brave and home of the Free" such scenes
could be enacted as were in this vicinity,
by democrats, ut the late election, and
sent over the couatry, and that too after
they had accepted the neW departure,
what could be expected of the South in
such an hour. 1t would be q JoHing

and the Southern loyal. both black and

than likely, Your candidate, il elected,

You,to day, can forgive every Southern
