to put an end to them.
The party that saved the Union
is sectional; the faction that
sought to destroy it is National

itself "the Solid South! Kick the
accursed thing to pieces
Let the people realize thatnow is
their opportunity, not only to be
free, but to rule.
We have the BourbOns panic
stricken. Rally, free men--this
way
Let us clasp hands with our fell
ow-citlzcns everywhere who are
for a free ballot and a fair count.
The Bourbon circular lies are now

tho States and all the people that
Bourbonism and its crimes are not
yours nor Virginia's.
And now that the negro is in
your wOod-pile, as well as ours, you
should cry quits on that score and
come to the issues of policy and
principle for government of all
the people, by all the people, for
all the people.
The time for childish gags and
catchphrases has evidently come
to an end.
Before electiOn.day it will be the
cry along the Bourbon line: Mig
