Denmark. And it looks very much
like methodism of the Democratic
Candidate for Governor OF Pennsyl-
vania is oil put on for the sake OF
winning the Gibernatorial Rice.
How can Republican Mcthodists
vote for Mr.. Dill Simply fol the
reason that he is a Methodist, and a
Methodist of such doubtful kind,
hoping il he be elected that he will
bring honor and help to tho Church !
Can any loyal Methodist preacher
vote for him ! Can any loyal Moth
odist preacher voto for him Can
that ono do it who pied so eloquent,
ly his Country's cause Mt the opening
of the Rebellion, asking, with an
emotion the most intense, the ques-
ton "A question that thrilled the
audience in the Church Of God and
stirred patriotic hearts to their pro-
foundest depths -"Who will go =
and was answered by the universal
shout of men In tue name Of the
Lord God we will GO Can that
preacher do il, who, when his Coun-
try called, obeyed tho call, rushed
to the front, barred his breast to tue
bullets of tho on envy, and now car-
rios a wound received in tho glori-
Gus battle for the right ! Can any
patriotic Methodist voto for him

1t may bo said that this is per-

useful one in tho gospel ministry,
and therefore grand one, aud who
now, on this account, wears his gray

er, and have q profound reverence
and sincere love for his father, is
that any reason why should cast
my vote for Hon A. H. Dill 7
Should place my good wishes, my
friendship, my love for another,
above my love for my Country I?
Who will dare to urge reason why
I should lay aside my conscientious
political principles and vote for n
man who is diametricllly opposite
to me in politics ? Who will dare
approach mo with such plea 7 With
my views, could not vote for my
own brother il he stood in the place
of Mr.. Dill.
1t may be said in my opposition
to Senator Dill, l am dragging up u
lead and buriod issue-the spirit
that gave birth to the costly and
bloody War Of tho Rebellion Is
that spirit dead and buried ! No.
Visit the South and 500 everywhere
proofs of this fact. An Intelligent
Northern lady, on recent visit to
the South said I: mo one surrender
cd but General Lee" And that is
true. Look at tho Democratic Par
ty in Congress when tho power was
again in, it's hands. We heard again
of the fatal doctrine OF State Rights.
The impudent Southern claims upon
the Treasury Of the United States
for tho indemnity for losses in the
rebellious War of the South, aud
other political views-the very bano
of our prosperity, if not OF our exis
tence as Nation. We havo tho
most frsternal feeling for our breath
ern of the South. We are ready to
do all we can for their welfare, to
pour out our treasure, for instance,
to aid those who are suffering from
that terrible scourge, the Yellow
Fever but we do think that tho
time has not yet arrived when men
who, il they had received their just
deserts, would have died as Traitors,
ought to be trusted with powor. Nor
should we be willing to trust with
power tho men of the North who
gave said and comfort" to those
who fred on tho Flag OF the Union,
and did oil they could to destroy the
best Government on tho face OF the
earth. 1t is impudent in Southern
Traitors and in their Northern SYM
pathisers to ask 80 soon for tue
trust of political power. Let them
wait for long years till the Country
is fully satisfied that their repen-
tauce for tho loss of vast treasures
and seas OF blood in their dreadful
attempt to destroy tho Union, is stu
cere, and then ask humbly to be re-
stored to places Of honor and trust
in the Government Of the Country.
And the Country may then hear and
heed their request, but it ought not
to do it now.
In this note OF warning am | only
putting UP man OF straw No,
am not. This boast has already been
made: "There are thousands OF
Mothodists, formerly Republicans,
who will vote for Hon. A. II. Dill,
and kheir votes will elect him." Sew.
