TAKE COURAGE I Democrats, take courage, and be on hand for the fray In November.— The presence of a large number of those who supported Porter In October will be required at their homes m Illinois. Kentucky, Michigan and other Staoes in November. Besides, it is hardly probable that money can be supplied to thirty-eight States so readily or in such quantity as in two. Up and at them!

Letter from Secretary Stanton, to Gen. HancockWar Department, Washington City, Aug. 5, 1863. Dear General: I pope you are recovering from your severe wound. Of the many gallant officers wounded in the great field of Gettysburg, no one has more sincerely my sympathy, confidence and respect than yourself. We felt that the blow that struck you down was a heavy and disastrous one to the country, but rejoice that your life was spared, and that you were not among the list of those whose loss wo deplore. Yours truly. EDWIN M. STANTON. The Dubuque (Iowa) Herald says: On the day General Winfield Scott Hancock was nominated by the National Democratic Convention at Cincinnati, General Grant, Colonel Row--I<*Y, and Mr. Hankins were seated in Colonel Rowley’s office in Galena, awaiting the expected news. A telegram was received announcing the result. Colonel Rowley, turning to General Grant, asked how ho liKed the nomination. General Grant answered: “He will run like wildfire!— He is a man without a blemish!” And in connection with General Hancock’s nomination, General Grant said to Mr. Hunkins that “if General Hancock had been a Republican, he would have been the commander of the army of the Potomac instead of myself!”

A CARD Editor of Sentinel—The geod deacon who presides over the columns of the Republican gets off the following in this week’s issue: “We are informed that Charley Price claims that with $4,000 he oan buy enough votes in Jaspei county to secure a majority for Hancock.” I have made it a rule of my life to ignore the attacks made upon me by Republican newspapers, bin this charge is so gross in its {nature I can not in justice to myself and friends let it pass unnoticed, and to be as brief as possible, I denounce the statement es a lie, its author a liar, and the red-headed genius who gave it a place in his paper as a slanderer, and if there is no puni hment in the great hereafter for men who make such grave charges against their neighbors, then Hell had better be abolished, and the Devil mustered out of service. CHARLES H. PRICE.

Says the Altoona (Pa.) Daily Sun: In 1873 the Republican party was in full power, with a Republican President, a two-third Republican majority in the national House of Representatives, and a Republican Senate. There was the same tariff in force then as now. And yet the country was convulsed by a financial crisis which shook it from center to circumference. Our factories were idle, our mechanics and laboring men had no work, and were roaming around the country in idleness. If a Democratic Congress has brought order oat of chaos and so auspiciously begun for the welfare of the country is it not more reasonable, that with a Democratic President they will be still bet ter enabled to further the prosperity of thecountiy? Neither the iron business nor any other business will be injured by Hancock’s success. The Democratic party thrives in prosper ity, The more good it can do the country the longer chance it will have to retain power.

One of a few reasons given in last week’s Republican “why no patriotic citizen should support the Democratic party,”is the following: “Eleventh—lt is in favor of a ’’tariff for revenue only,” which is but another name of free trade, and would de stroy the manufacturing interests of the country and throw thousands of men out of employment?’ While we of course dispute the declaration of our neighbor that a ”tar iff for revenue only is bnt another name of (for) free trade, - ’ we simply introduce it here, in order to show how the Republican, in its opposition to free trade and advocacy of high tariff, stands with its chief. Let us see: “Free trade is looking up. General Garfield, a candidate for President in the United Siates, is pledged in the interest of free trade. We must forward our interest by forwarding his.” —President of the Cobden Free Trade Club, of London, England, in a recent speech. “Tariff for revenue only is but another name of (for) free trade.”—Cor. kins. “Nothing can be said against free trade?’—Garfield, July 10, 1866 “Modern scholarship is on the side of free trade.”—Garfield, April 1, ’7O. Garfield voted to reduce the tariff on iron wool and steel, but opposed reduction on coffee, tea, paper, etc.

“Let us encourage the harmony and generous rivalry among our own industries which will revive our merchant marine, extend our commerce with foreign nations, assist our merchants, manufacturers and producers to develop our vast natural resources and increase the prosperity and happiness of our people.”—Gen. Hancock’s Letter of Acceptance. “A sedulous and scrupulous care of the puolic credit, together with a wise and economical management of our governmental expenditures, should be main ained, inlJorder that labor 1 may be lightly burdened and that all persons may be protected in their rights to the fruits of their own Indus' try. The time has come to enjoy the substantial benefits of reconciliation. A* one we have common interests,”—Gen. Hancock’s Letter of Acceptance.
