To THE POLLS! friends of CLAY and the Gov.
srnUTIoN, TO THE POLLS! There are THREE
tickets presented 10 the people, and that ticket
which obtains plurality of votes will cast the
vote of the state. Let US try to make this very
plain to you. There is one electoral ticket head
ed by IS GEORGE LoYALL." which must obtain
more votes than either of the other two. or else
JACKSON ana VAN buren, do not get the vote OF
Virginia. There is n second headed by "JoHN
W. MURDAUGH," which must obtain more votes
than either of the other two, or else JACKSON aud
BARBOUR ia not get the vote of Virginia.
And be il understood, that although JAcKsoN's
name is on both these tickets. the strength OF
both cannot be united on him. The split Is as IA
tai 10 him, as If the first ticket were for BENE-
DICT ARNOLD and MARTIN VAN buren,. There
is third ticket headed by JOHN A. CHANDLER,
which. il il obtain more votes than either OF the
Others, will give the vote of Virginia TO CLAY
aud SERGEANT. Thereof bv any possibility.
we have stupid man in our ranks, we think he
can now comprehend the matter, and sturid
mans vote is as good as any other.
Up. then, and be doing, NATIONAL REpUBLI-
CANS of .hs Valley, each and all of you. II
any of you have lazy neighbor who is on our
side, stir him up; spur him to the polls! Ii he
is too law to walk. lend him your horse and 60
on foot Yourself Remember, that although YOU
may be in the minority in any one particular
place, the election is by generai-tirkef. and Ev.
