and sold Into slavery. To people whose
memories run back over the scenes Of those
dark days, and who can call TO mind the
course OF political events since the Repub-
lcan party fought its way to power, 1t is
not necessary to bring arguments to prove
that the Democratic party has remained ev-
err the same ia character, though II may
now profess TO have changed its principles.
To put 1t after the logical manner Of Bris-
ow,-either the Democratic party has
changed, or 1t has not. If 1t remains the
same old party, with its Southern, pro-
scriptive, anti-progressive instincts, the
country does not desire its further services /;
1T has ''got religion" and become puri-
fed and reformed, the change is of too re-
cent date 10 warrant the nation in trust
ing it TO protect, defend, and preserve the
new order OF things, which has been estab-
lished against its will and in spite of its de-
termined opposition.

$1,000 Gone to Smash

As the Democrats have made so much
loud and foolish talk about the use of mon
ey In this campaign, We think it proper to
mention that we know of the sum of sixty
five 1866 which they certainly won't use.
And this was how 1t happened: One night
last week at the Lake Pleasant camp-meet-
ing, the police found young man in that
blissful condition in which he was simply
able to say "Oh, Pm (hic) all right (hic)
I'm all right !" and further than this could
give no account of himself The police
furnished him lodgings in boarding tent,
and the next morning the poor fellow made
his appearance TO them with the statement
that he had been robbed of his money dur
ing his spree and asking their assistance.
The sum, he said, was sixty-fiVe dollars,
and the worst of 1t was that it didn't belong
to him. 1t had been given to him during
a recent visit TO Brattleboro by the great
Democratic sachem of the town, with in
structions to put ii Where ii tOOuLd do the
most good" But he got drunk, the money
was stolen and what should he dol This
unfortunate "Reformer" said that he was
connected with Democratic paper in an
adjoining section of this State. He has our
sincere sympathy in his misfortune. We
relate this little story, the truth of which is
vouehed for, simply TO show that the "Re-
formers aren't using any money in this
campaign. oh, No!

A Few Facts.

The Democratic party fully realize tie
importance of our approaching stale cleo
ton, and are putting forth every effort in
their power TO reduce the majorilies bith
erto given in favor of Republicanism. This
result is expected to be accomplished by
having every Democrat vote, and by seeur-
ing many Republicans. We would call
the attention of every honest voter and sim
cere patriot to the following facts concern
ing the Democratic party, and ask, In all
seriousness, If they propose 10 assist in put
ting that party into power.
The Democratic party have opposed the
amendments TO the constitution which
guarantee equal rights to all citizens, with
out distinction of race or color.
This party openly boasts of its ability 10
carry all of the Southern states, so recently
arrayed in arms and intent upon the de-
struction of the nations life.
This same party includes in its ranks all
who we're in sympathy with the rebellion,
and who for their unnatural and disloyal
conduct have most fifty been termed cop
perheads.
This party, through its leaders, endeav-
ors to apologize for and excuse Southern
atrocities like the Hamburg massacre and
the cold-blooded Coushatta murders, by
accusing the victims of being the cause of
the troubles, although it is a fact that me-
groes and Republicans are The only persons
killed.
These facts are some Of the burdens
which the Democratic party are compelled
to carry, and which boldly confront every
intelligent voter. The sham cry of RE
form" cannot change the record.
On the other hand, the Republican party
have preserved the nation, secured, as far
as possible, the rights of the colored race,
and have a record which should command
the votes of all honest men. The Demo-
Gratis do not assal the principles Of the
Republican party, but attack men like
Butler, who was reared in the Democratic
faith, and who is unable, though calling
himself Republican, to overcome the re-
suit of his early education.
There are, doubtless, abuses in every
party which should be remedied and The
nominees of the Republican party are a
sufficient guarantee of an honest purpose
and intent TO secure pure administration.
Men like Mr.. Bristow, Mr.. Jewell and
Carl Schurz do not lend themselves 10
sham pretences. We ask, then, that every
voter carefully consider why the Demo
cratic party should be allowed his assist
ance, in order to have an opportunity &c
rem der of no avail that which has been &C.
complished by Republicanism in the face
of the most bitter opposition.

The "BloOSly Shirt"

That was very stubborn fact for the
Democracy TO get around, and no wonder
they Kissed and squirmed, when Judge
Benham pulled that private letter out of
his pocket Friday night and read what his
agent in Louisiana wrote him about having
lain out ia the damp, malarious air all
night to take friend off the river boat who
had been shot by the leading Democrat of
that Parish and his STRIKER" for political
reasons. The wounded man escaped with
his life, TO be sure, but 1t was the intention
of his assailants to follow him up and COM
plete their work after he left the boat, and
that was why he was taken off at Judge
Benham's private landing. 1t may have
been very unkind thing in the Judge TO
give so striking an illustration of the actual
condition of things in the South, but the in
cident none the less unavoidably reminds
one of the Springfield Republicans remark
that the Republicans twill continue to
wave the bloody shirt just so long as the
Democrats continue to furnish the blood y

Gen. Brlstow's campaign speech, deliver
ed here on Friday last, was substantially
the same as that which he previously de-
livered at Burlington, and which has al
ready been reported in the daily papers.
1t is generally conceded TO be one of the
best speeches that has been delivered dur
ing the presidential campaign. In our
opinion 1t is sound and unanswerable.
Avoiding mere personalities, Gen. Bristow
deals with the candidates only upon their
public records, and derives his main argu-
nents from the character, principles, his
tory and tendencies Of the two parties in
volved. And how clear and undeniable
are his statements of fact how fair, yet
how irresistible, the conclusions which he
draws therefrom The speech is one which
everybody should read and We commend
1t especially to young voters,-those whose
memories of public events do not extend
over tho period of the antislavery agitation
which preceded the war, when under the
rule of the Democratic party, freedom OF
speech was abolished, Southern slavehold-
ers hunted their slaves in our streets, aud
free citizens OF tho north were kidnapped

Are the Republicans OF Windham
County alive to the importance Of bringing
out a full vote at the election next Tuesday ?
The town committee and leading Republi-
cans in each town should make it a point
to see that every voter is present at the
polls and does his whole duty-voting not
only for Representative but for Governor
and the entire list of State officers. Let not
the lesson expected of the Republicans OF
Vermont on that day be lost through the
apathy of voters. Consult and revise the
checklists previous to the day of voting,
and see that every voter is reminded OF his
duty, and does it. Let the Republicans OF
Vermont show themselves to the world,
for once, in their true proportions-thars
all the country asks or the occasion re-
Quires.

ing of two horses at the same time. 1t is
true that four yearsaso was in favor ofthe
election of Horace Greeley, because in my
judgment he more truly and heartily rep

party and the reforms neededsin the party.
With this exception have always cordial

reforms l sought 10 effect four years ago.
