TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA, FROM
SOLDIERS SHE SENT INTO THE FIELD.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. %, 1S76.--Eleven
wears have passed since we brought the
war of the rebellion to close. Still the
march Of armed men is heard within the
borders Of Dur sister States, and that noble
organization of which we were once so
proud of being a part-the United States
army-is now being used by the Govern
ment Cor the ignoble and unconstitutional
purpose of crushing out the right OF self
government in some of the Southern States.
At Appamatox Courthouse the Southern
troops surrendered to the Army of the Po-
tomac and laid down their arms in good
faith and we pledged ourselves to protect
them. These pledges the present admin
istration have violated. s.
The war is over yet peace has not FOL
lowed, and prosperity has not returned
with the car of victory to bless the country.
Many of our comrades laid down their lives,
and many more shed their blood that the
country might be preserved united in all
it's integrity, but bad men have used the
powers of the Government to foster and
keep alive the bitter feelings and sectional
auimosities engendered by the late strug-
gle. Out Of respect for the memory of our
late comrades, we feel called upon to again
step to the front and declare they have not
died in vam-that the war is over, and we
must and shall have peace. Stand by us
now in our efforts to purify and reform the
Government we preserved, by changing
the administration and electing Samuel J.
Til6en to the Presidency. Let us have an
administration actuated by "malice toward
none, charity to ALL"

NOTICE, NOTICE!

Those planting friends to whom | have
made advances to make crops. ! must urge
to come forward promptly with their cot
ton and settle their accounts. Experience
teaches that early settlements are easiest
matte, ani he who moves earliest in picking
and selling cotton gets better samples, bet
ter prfces and enjoys better spirits, and
a better name. There are some who habit
utlly lose a large percentage OF their crops
bv delavsin the fall. Some of their cot
ton is wasted, some Of il 3 dirty sample
and sold on a late mar Ct, at Il low price
and when credited on 4 protracted account
II falls short, when j better management,
with the same labor, might have settled in
full and had souIething left out of the
same crop.
Come forward, friends, promptly, with
your cotton. The pric, is low, but no,
likely to be any better. Bring all your
cotton to voar merchant when pledged.
Slipping cotton viii he r%uinous to charac-
ter, and surely b ing bitter returns in the

for cash. Those of my customers who
come forward early, and buy for cash, shall
have goods at special rates. Come early
with your cotton and save the expense OF

From the cradle to the grave life is full
of struggles. Some struggle for riches,
some for pleasure, some for honor; and
Others struggle TO regain that greatest OF
