THIS DAY, Fellow Citizens, YOU
are invited to exercise a most impor-
tant privilege and perform most res
ponsible duty in the choice of town Of.
ilcerS Tor the ensuing year-Your op-
ponents have exerted every nerve, and
adopted every artilice, to remove those
worthy, faithiG aud long tried friends,
who have filed the various offi.es in
town, with 50 much honor to them
selves ard fidelity to their Constituents.
Not satisfied with the ordinary
meanss they have appealed 10 the Lee
glslature, and law has been passed for
me express purpose Of revolutionizing
this and some other towns in the Com
monweaitn. by this law every man Of
twenty.one years If age, who has resi-
ded IN town one year, and is not actu-
ally supported By The town as pauper,
is permitted to vote in the choice Of
town officers. Why distinction has
been made, and those permitted to vote
IN the choice of officers who have no
voice IN other to7on affairs, il is impos.
sible TO conceive unless the law was
designed for harfyhurftoseS. Indeed
your adyersaries beast that this was the
object oil tine law. But, fellow. citizens,
Notwithstanding all these arts and in
trlSues, 1t is still in your power to de-
ieat their designs, if you will exert
yourselves and do your duty like good
oIiizens--a duty al all times important,
but doubfy SO at this even,ful crisis.
Let no consideration prevent your eo-
ms early to the polls-it is duty you
owe yourselves, your friends, YOUR
children and posterity. Your adverse.
rles boasilhgiy declare that if they can
triumph over you in the choice Of Town
officers, the victory is theirs, and they
are sure OF success at future elections,
both OF town and state officers. Are
you ready to bow your necks and sub
mt your dearest interests to these
Inen Look Il the malignant and cruel
manner In Which your worthy Select
men nave been prosecuted the year
past tor having independence and
nFmness to discharge their duty with
honesty and fidelity.

ocraiic Legislature and Executive, and
| ask whether you are ready to enlrust
your dearest rights and privileges 10
the hands Of men who are the avowed
advocates Of these unconstitutional and
Z structive measures ! Who are the
men your adversarics would palm upon
you. Are they more honest, more
capable, more attached TO the COnstitu
ton than those who have served you
faithfully for years NO, they are ma
ny Of them incompetent 10 the duties
of the offices for which they are can
didates. They have no otter claims
to distinction than that they are noisy
democrats, violent parl2ans, who now
claim your patronage as reward for
their zeal ia bad cause.
Rouse then, Fellow Citizens, from
your slumbers before your locks are
shorn. Remember that every man has
an important and Interesting duty to
perform, and let every one perform it
manfully. Let no one reproach him
self hereafter, that by his negligence
the town has been reyolutionised and its
important and vital interests entrusted
10 men who are unworthy ofconfidence
Let no private interest, local preiudi-
ces, or personal animosities deter you
from your duty or abate your zeal.
Remember that sense of duty requires
a sacrifice Of all these feelings TO the
public good and come forth in your
strength be active, vigilent, firm, uni
ted, and the victory is yours.

Fellow Cinzsns-Look at this list
See 1t they are not men of integrity,
hrmness, and moderation. Act then
according to the dictates of your own
conscience in casting your votes. Be
not deceived by those men who wish to
make the people the tools Of their am
bitiOn. If you desire to preserve this
town in its ancient and respectable STAN
ding, vote for the above ticket and you
will obtain your object.

The KRgMLIN-the only part Of Mos

most splendid division of this vast and
ancient Capital. 1t is the central and
highest part efthe city, situated near the
confluence Of the Moskya and Neglina,
ct triangular form and surrounded by
high walls Of stone and brick, near two
miles in circumference. 1t confirms
the ancient palaces Of the Cars, and is
remarkable as the birth place of Peter
the Great. 1t is ornamented with an
immense number of spires, domes and
steeples, many of which arc richly gila-
ed, and give an air ofsplendor and mag
nifcence 10 this city, which strikes the
traveller with wonder and admiration.
The chief entrance into the Kremlin is
by the Ho!y gate, vaulted portal, over
which picture and burning lamp is
suspcnd>.. Persons of all descriptions
who enter ct this gate, were compelled
to walk nearly hundred PAGES bare
headed, in reverence to the saint sus-
pended over it.
In the Kremlin is to be seen the great
Ball 2f Moscow, measuring 81 feet q
inches in circumference and weighing
443772 lbs. ard also the graat Gun,
eighteen feet and half in length, and
If 9 diameter sufficient to admit man
