lowing Fellow citizens, let US no longer
be deceived we have too long been un-
der the baneful influence OF MAX
SHAL law |, for one, have been
MARsHALLED long enough. It's time
for US TO marshall ourselves ; already
have the democrats met at Alfred, and
called upon all who are not in the train
band TO arm and equip themselves 10
suppress all expression OF opinion, and
to be MARsHALLED, | suppose, by some
experienced, unprIncipled leader. Let
Us no longer support men who are IN
favour oil this unjust and unnecessary
war let US rather vote tor men who
wish for al honorable peace, and who
will take honorable means TO obtain II
men of tried integrity, OF talents and
patriotism Such is CYRUS KING
Esq Of oaco, for whom | shall give my
vote,and for whom every man,who Is de-
sirous of an honorable peace oh honora
bic terms ought 10 vote. This isthe man
who has the confidence OF the aged and
respectable of the county OF York, be-
cause he is man of religion, virtue, tai
ents, and inflexible uprightness- "He
is neither a Frenchman nor an English
man, but an American one who loves
his country, and her republican institu-
tons" 4 his is the man who ought 10
represent us in 1918, man, who, IN
these times of disaster and war, when
the council of the learned is required,
not only knows what is for our interest,
but a man who is able to rise and inform
those audacious Southerners, what will
contribute to the interest of his Consit-
uents this Mr. KING will do, for his
pathetic soul will never slumber on the
sofa of the President, while the interest
of his constituents Is agitated In the
House.
Fellow citizens, it is right guaran-
teed to us by our constitution, to en-
quire into * examine the conduct of our
public officers they are our servants
and they are answerabIe to US for their
conduct. This is, | think, the thir.
teenth year Of Mr. Cults representation;
and what has he done +? he has remain
ed at home when he chose, and attended
to our concerns at Congress when ii
was convenient. During the last ses
sion of Congress he was in SacO until
nearly the close OF il. when he was sent
for from Washington to go on and as
sist in getting the war bill through the
house-although unfortunately for him
the dye was cast before he arrived.
Yet he arrived there in season, to make
his maiden speech: by declaring that
Z" his constituents were all for war;"
when the weekly assemblages of the
hoary heads OF York county, announc-
ed to the world that his constituents qvere
for Peace In times of peace and pros
perity a man Of Mr.. Cuts abilities
might possibly represent US in Con
gress, as we'll as man of greater in
formation and talents, for he could
think about home manufactures and
look wise without utterlng a word
but when the nation is involved In war
when our treasury is drained OF every
farthing, and when there is such a clash
ing between the interests of the nothern
and southern states, it is our duty to
send man of integrity and wisdom, a
man whose connections and interest are
north Of the Delaware a man who Will
not be hattered and led astray from our
interests by the bare professions and
secret appropriations OF men high il
Office.
Another ohvioas and important reason,
why Mr.. Cuts IS not fit man TO represent
us at this time is, the circumstance of his
southern connections. Ii is we'll known that
every man Of the strongest powers of mind,
from long and hsbitusl onnexlon with am
bilious and aspiring partners, have become
so initiated into their view ard interests, as
to become entirely weaned from all lheiF
former cares and affections. MIR. Cuts con.
duct ever since he has been to Congress,
and especially for the two or three last scss-
lens, has been such as, think will evince TO
every candid man the truth of my as: elton,
that from natural and conjugual affection,
his cares, interests and affections are trans
ferred from the north to the south, that he
has become com. ,'eteiy unlicensed If l may
use The expression--or al any rate too much
50 for yankee. Fellow citizens, slumber
no longer, one single vote may save the coun.
try a. this lime FIR the question really i,
shalt we vote for peace Or war; shall we
send Cyrus King or Richard Cuts. to Con.
gress York County.
a most important election is APP
proaChing-more interesting than any
