ger should such a d~eplorable result
follow as the election again of Abra-
ham Lincoln.-Hon. John McKeon, to
the Democratic Convention, September
4, 1864.
The constitution is indeed a most
sacred instrument. 1t is attacked by
armed traitors in the south and by in
sidious d~ouble-dyed traitors in this
Enthusiastically. Lincoln at the
head-at the North.-Hon. J. B.. Has
kins, to the Democratic Convention,
August 81, 1864.
If Abraham Lincoln is reelected
President, the liberties of the people
are gone forever. Military despotism
will rule. There will be no liberty
of speech or press. Anarchy, bloody
anarchy, will follow. Taxation with
out limit will grind the people to the
dust. There will be more widows
and orphans and more tyranny and
oppression than the world has seer
for centuries.-Niles Republican.
In my deliberate opinion, if Mr..
Lincoln is reelected we shall have a
military despotism fastened upon us
and our children, with a standing
army of negro janissaries.-Leslie
Combs of Kentucky.
The miserable principle of central
ization, of imperialism, has been
deeply implanted in the hearts of the
men who are governing now. One
by one they are destroying all the
guarantees of personal rights: The
people, must protect themselves and
their country or they will be swept in
to the maelstrom of Capitalization and
arbitrary power with every vestige Of
frberty in this country.-Col. Price at
New York, Oct. 10, 1864. ,
Reflect but for a moment on the ag-
gravated calamities of four years more
OF war under the administration Of
Abraham Lincoln. Choose you now
what shall be the destiny of yourselves
and of your children after you. If
these things continue for four years
more the chances are as 8 to 10 that
your free government will be changed,
that instead of elective presidents con-
verting themselves into despots you
will have hereditary monarchs to rule
over you and your children to the
laird and fourth generation. How
is your mode of escape? In the sue
cess of the democratic party.-Clem-
ent l.. Vallandingham, in speech at
Sydney, O., September "a, 1864. E
Are you a laborer? The re-elec-
ton of MI. Lincoln will, as surely as
you live, not only close UP the ways
by which you hope to find employment
but put the price of food and clothing
and every necessary of life so far be
) You'd your reach that your wages viii
scarce suffice to keep you from starva-
tion.-New York World, November s
1864. T.
There are thousands of such quo,
, tations that might be reproduced but
these will serve. It will be see from
them that the democratic party could
not even devise a new scarecrow fol
this campaign. They went back ,:

names and places and the democratic
