In the second heat the contest was a close one Lady Ellis pressing on Grey Eagle so closely that he broke up badly and she passed him He again however was got to his work and closed in but fretting

of pun ishing traitors and making treason Resolved Tart we repudiate the Johnson theory that one traitor entitled to the same ditical it fluence as two loyal men and there fore we will resist to the

against a wicked and treacherous Administration Resolved That we owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers and sailors who by their heroic services during the rebellion have saved the nation from destruction which no time can obliterate from our memories and no sacrifices we can make and no rewards we can bestow can adequately repay Resolved That we have no fear that those brave and patriotic

Govern ment to the hands ol conquered but unrepent ant rebels Resolved That as Republicans our feelings are warmly enlisted in behalf of all races and people struggling for national independence and their political civil and religious rlghti: and that we therefore share in tne hopes and sympathize in efforts of the Irish people to shake off the yoke of their oppressors as well as in their

President than for the party whose votes made him only has betraved the in terests of the people and thrown himself Into the arms of the enemies of the Union and Whereas He has not only violated every pledge he' made every principle he professed durihg the which ended in his election but has treasona bly encouraged another civil war If necessary to carry out' his reconstruction policy by threatening the existence of Congre by the appointment of Southern rebels to office in preference to Unconditional Union men by prompting the indiscriminate massacre of the loyal people of Louisiana and byusirg the whole power and patronage of the Government to make loyalty odious and treason honorable Whereas In view of these alarming facts we believe the very existence of our free insti tutions and indeed of the Government Itself depend upon the triumph at the ensuing elec tions of the party which carried the nation safely th tough its long and bloody struggle wi Mr present friends and by such an overpowering display of popular in dignation as shall drive him from his treasona ble purno es wherefore Resolved That despising his bribes and de fying his threats we the representatives of
