We have columns of aflidayits cOrrobOrative
Oh these and oil all the statements We have made.
And now, how do the honest. fair minded voters
OF the north like this Infamous business How
much longer will they endure TINS heilish policy2
How much longer will they he swinded and
cheated by this dnmnablc plotting? How much
| longer VIII they be led to the polls by senti-
conspirators to keep party of thieves in power?
We rejoice, while We are surprised, that the
massacre was not wholesale instead of retail.
we ask the voters Of the north to learn the truth
| the pOlls and reward such atrocous hypocrisy
by their sudrages. But here in Cincinnati,
Withln week, men were bowling for the life Of
General Butler vs. no defended his telOw-citizens
arms, striving to tide the republican party again
into power by deeds Of blood.
