210 - L. Oct. 13; ed: 2/1 - August Belmont protests, in the name of Democ-
racy, against the suppression of a paper called the EVENING POST, and
against the test oath demanded by Governor Johnson of Tennessee before
a man shall vote. . .
"For Belmont to appeal to the Democratic party and counsel revolution
if electoral votes of Maryland and Tennessee should defeat McClellan,
shows the drift of the Democratic party." j (4)

587 - L Oct. 3; ed:3/1 - The results of the election in Ohio, always of the
first importance, will be awaited with unusual interest throughout the country,
for as Ohio goes in October, she will go in November. The result is not
doubtful, "and we believe that the state will not only go right, but will
pile up a majority for the Union that will make the hearts of the "Copper-
heads" everywhere fail within them." Most all daily papers endorse Lincoln
and Johnson. It is safe to predict that the Union will have a majority of .
60,000 in the state elecion. - - - (17)

years he has filled with such honesty, ability and patriotism." (11)

623 - L June 13; ed: 2/1 - The New York WORLD writes on the recent nomina-
tions at Baltimore. It called those nominated, Lincoln and Johnson, a rail
splitting buffoon and a boorish tailor.
"Why, the very fact that the Union nyminees are taken from the people -
that one was once a rail-splitter, and the other a tailor - will be the
chief element of their popularity." (8)

688 - L. Oct. 25; ed: 2/1 - In two weeks the people of these states will
decide between peace and war. Every indication signifies that war shall
continue until the armed Rebellion is crushed. The Democratic leaders
are planning on laying a trap to catch the unwary and unthinking. All
the devices of politicians at the North and Rebels at the South will be
resorted to, to influence public opinion.
"No one need be deceived by these tricks. The Chicago platform wants
a convention with a view to restoration of the Union. Stevens, Boyce,
and Johnson favor a convention between equal powers, but do not mention
restoration of the Union.
"By acknowledging independence of the South, we justify England and
France in similar recognition, sure to follow such an act on the part of
the North. We justify them in breaking the blockade, we barter away
our nationality, and we consent to a broken, dismembered Union. If we
wish to avert these evils, we must stand by the Union. The people are not
silly gudgeons thus to be caught." (18)
