TO THE VOTERS OF AUGUSTA
COUNTY

FELLOW CiTTZENs-Thep position which
the county Of Augusta eupies in relation
10 tho next presi .ential election, Is one of pc
culiar interest and responsibility. She has
II in her power 10 win Tor herself higher dis.
tiEction than any other county of the com
monweaiih, or she may iuse the reputation
which she has already acquired, for political
integrity, and sink into condition Of COM
Parative obscuriiy and fnsignifcance. The
alternatives are fairly presented, and ii is for
her Citizens To choose between them. Eve
ny thing depends upon their exertions. II
they are true 10 her, and io themselves and
TO their country, the name of f'0ED AU-
SUSTA" will be known from one end oi the
continent to the other, as THE GREAT
WING COUNTY OF VERGINIA."-Il
on the other hand they fail 10 redeem the Just
expectations which her previous political
course has created, her sons will be branded
as traitors who have baseiy deserted her in
the hour OF need. The time is coming which
will "try mems souls'
In all parts of the State the vote Of Au,
gusta, is locked TO with The deepest interest.
Even our ows citizens have no idea Of the
extent of this anxiety. She is known 10 be
the heaviest voterin The Common wealth, and
che has heretofore zGoyed on in her course
with so much eteadlRcSS of purpose, and 50
much dignity OF conduct that she has acquirN
ed moral influence far greater even than
that which she possesses iron; her numerical
strength.
A gentleman in distant part Of the state
writes thus To his friend in this county: =
YOU MUST EXERT YOURSELVES IN OLD
AUGUSTA. SIZE HAS THE HONOR OF BE-
ING LOOKED TO AS THE LEADER, AND
VANGUARD OF WIG PRINCIPLES. SHE
HAS THROWN Dow{g THE GAUNTLET TO
HEB SISTERS, AND If SHE FIGHT NOT
NOW wELL,-lF SHE PUT NOT FORTH
JIER WHOLE STRENGTH, SIZE Will. II
DISu0EoRJ&D, AND SUE.OEGHT TO BE"
Another circumstance has had The effect oil
riveling the attention If the State upon the
vote OF Augusta. She was the first county
in the commonwealth OF Virginia 10 nomi-
nate Gen. Harrison for the Presidency, In
the darkest hour o! the epublic-when de-
spair had seized upon the minds Of the firm
est patriots and scarcely 4 ray of light BEAM
ed from the political horiZon-Old Augusta
was the first 10 light her torch at tho altar of
liberty and waving II aloft, 10 call on all true
patriots 10 follow 10 the rescue OF the cOnsli.
tuition
That torch has since spread dismay q,
mongsi The rahks Of the spoilers. The sparks
which fell from il, have kindied flame
which like prairie>fire has swept with the
rapidity Of whirlwind over the union, shed,
ding a bright and steady light on tho path OF
liberty, and consuming in IFS progress the
rotIeDness OF the "dry tree" and whitening
the poisoned zine which eniwi ned itself a.
round IL
Isit strange then that deep interest should
be felt IN Tbs moyeseGtso Of the county Which
