HOW THEY WORK.

cal pap. They are greatly alarmed for fear
the teat will be taken from them and they
be left to live on the dry grass of industry
or plunged into the valley of shame and deg
radiation to Craze on the unwholesome
herbs that line the borders of iniquity. The
latter would be the proper place for these
bloated dupes, where honest men might look
down ON them with the contempt they de-
serve But they are determined to escape
being thus plunged into infamous obscurity,
if any schemes under the sun their ingenu-
ity can invent or their minds conceive, either
good or bad, VIII save them from it. In the
vineyard Of corruption they labor increasingly
with the fond hope in view of hoeing from
The honest yoemanry of the country votes
enough to re-clect their chief, and thus re-
new their lease of plunder for another -four
years. They have become frightened and
| begin TO tremble at the unmstakable signs Of
the times, but in their alarm they strike
again in a new scheme with a vigor worthy
Of much better cause. The latest delu
sion which has come to our notice is a clrcu-
lar sent to us by few of Grants hireings in
San Francisco, styling themselves mechsn
les, though few of them ever did a days
work in their lives, requesting us to tell the
people at our meetings, inluse it among our
circle of friends, declare it through our news
paper, send out such documents among the
innocent payers as will make them be-
lieve that Grant and Wilson are tie true
friends of reform and in favor of laws that
will tend to alleviate the condition Of the poor
OF course we are under many obligations
to the old dcluder who sent us this circular
and would be pleased TO receive more, as we
know he has many more Of the same tone
But we believe, and every honest man be-
lieves, just the rorirary Of what they have the
the shameless audacity to assert, the faster
they arc sent to us the more earnestly and
peGsistcnlly shall we labor TO counleract their
| daceiifu influences. The motives which
/ prompt these impostcrs to energetic action are
shameful and damaging to the American
people, and the force of their labors will re
coil upon their cause. The more they paw
and pull in trying to force themselves to vic
tory the more they will kick the cover from
the truth and expose to nakedness the ug,
determines of their infamous and dangerous
schemes. We say to the people everywhere.
take timely warning; beware Of the bait
which are being set ior you on every stree
nd corner, and treat with deserving con-
'empt any instrument that may be placed IL
YOUR hands for the purpose Of deluding you
into Il cause which will work out the ruin
Of your country. lou do not want to see
your nation governed by military dynasty
por do you wish to be tramped under foot
by those who YOU place in power. Then
Why should YOU not impugn their sayings
and treat with utter contempt their unmcan-
ing prptcn' ions when it is so well known that
in their shalIowest twaddic they ignore tie
ruth, and that the whole creed Of their party
is falsehood We have looked to the head
hoping there TO find purer motives, but have
been disappointed. All are alike, the mas
tiff rs well as the snarling ours and cowardly
po,dles which are now trying to bark of
honest Democrats from supporting Horace
Greeley bear on their counienances the brass
Of deception, and on their tongues an abu,r-
lance of unqualified fdsehoods. Honest
ncn Of every creed we ask you, we hececcl
Won, yes we impore you to consider wei
he result OF Your future actions. You arc
,boUt to take a step which involves your
honor and the salvation of vou country Ii
is not time to jump AT conclusions.
