Be convinced n0w. The elections in the CITY. as
we'll as in the State generally, cvnce a wise and
liberal and just spirit such subjects. Has the
warcry Of the party frightened the PEOPLE! Are
those candidates, against whom it has been raised
the loudest, found tagging behind other candidates
on the same tickets! 1t might be hardly worth
while TO mcn:ion names or to compare the respec
tive degrees Of popularity or public favor, enjoy
Cd by men, all good and true, all faithful to the
one great cause, and all candidates Of the
great party. But we point to the FACTS We
ask attention to RESULTS. We admonish FRIENDS
against listening either to the advice to the de-
nuncia:ion Of ENEMIES. The PEOPLE have willcJ
that the Wing cause shall gD ahead, its own
principles, for the great public ends which i, has
in view, for the relief and rescue Of the country,
and for the support and defence Of the Cons:itu-
ton. Give us men, give Us talent: give those
whose faith AMI zeal have been tried and approv-
ed; give free choice ont Of all who belong To
These are the feelings cf the PEorLE. And
let those who take an interest in the concerns OF
the party, ACT as the people FEEL: let the People
have On opportunity Of voting loi their own favor
ties; let nothing stand between them and theiI
own free choice. Let public opinion have it:
way, clear AMI unobs,ructed. We believe tn,
People WILL have their way, and that, b,
pursuing it, it is their intention to redeem and re
store the country.

Men stroyc to see who could be loudest In their
denunciations of Banks-suspension laws were
pronounced frauds on the people. and some had the
hardihood to declare unqualified opposition under
