northern cause but has shown him
self President of the people.
Re elect President Grant, you will
secure continued confidence and ma
tional safety, the strength of his un-
exampled prcstage as a conqueror
and statesman, and four years, ex-
perience. Elect Horace Greeley and
you produce insecurity for the future
by destroying the confidence of the
world Your war bonds will be re-
turned from Europe. Southern pow
er will demand the shaping of a gov
ernment policy. The black race
will be virtually returned TO Slavery
and the civil war resumed. ..s
Now that the South is conquered,
the deemed usurpations by the North
of the constitutional rights of the
Southern States, is no jurisdiction
for an attempted usurpation by the
South of the Northern war rights,
yet such the South demands.
1t must be admitted Southern con-
tro,, before the power of the gov
ernment has the sanction of the en-
tire people, means disunion and war.
Schurtz, Sumner and Greeley are
the timeley and unlocked for South
ern instruments Schurtz to lead
the Germans blind folded. Sumner,
as false Moses, to lead the colored
race into retracing steps from the
promised land. Greeley through
his belief, bitter enemies can be true
friends, is used Us stepping stone
to the accomplishment of their aims
During the war it was evident the
Seward peace policy, unchecked,
would result in forced incomplete
peace, and freedom if the slave, de-
manding force policy to sustain
such results. That is now the posi-
ton of the North. Not q patriot
Southern leader at heart can be found
not one who would not intrigue
for restoration of Southern as.
cenddancy through. if necessary,
rivers oil blood. Time will change
this. AS the statesmen of the South
have passed from Federal power, so
must they with the leaders of the
North, pass to another life. Then
the American Republic will have
been reconstructed and children's
children reconciled and leaders.
Like the magnaDimous victors Of the
past ages shake hands with the ene-
my, but hold on to the power gained
for the general good, thereby avoid
the seqered and ruined position for
America, of once powerful Rome.
1t grieves me to oppose the many
worthy southerners-among them
Breckenridge and Sanders, the latter
who so noDly vindicated me in late
card. l refer them to the sentiments
of their candidate. Mr.. Greeley
"that he who IS just to his highest
convictions must ALLEVIATE friends ~
/ add, the duty of the citizens Of ev-
cry nation to think for himself and
to fearlessly proclaim his views in
connection with the welfare of his
country.
Finally, 1 call upon the people ol
all sections of my country.to re elect
President Grant. who has proven
true to the best interests of the Re
public and to the declarations of tn {
victorious party of freedom, to dc
fend and preserve American institu
tions. The maintainance of the
present government at Washington
brings restored union and greatnes:
for America. New arties will arise
under harmonious union of the
States, founded upon principles in
augurated by Washington, sustained
by Lincoln, and perpetuated by
Grant, through blood purchased
right Union fat la force"
