The election takes place next Monday
the 4th inst. and all we have 10 say is, for
the voters of this county to come forward
and vote as freemep, and not let il be SAID
by any one voter, that if | had voted the
election would have been thus and so.
We fear not the issue, and therefore we
call upon all, wings and democrats, TO 90
TO the polls ard vote the ticket that their
own conscience dictates to them is right;
and when this is truly done, we have no.
thing to fear, as we 90 for majority in
all cases. Therefore we say it behooyes
every freeman to 90 to the polls and vote

We have all suffered from the present
nature Of things, and now is the time for
reform--act rs your own judgment tells

Jacob Thompson, ESQ. was alsopresened
by the convention as a suitable candidate
10 run for congress in connection with
Gen. Brown. Mr.. Thompson halls from
the Stale of North Carolina, the Rip Van

canvassing the State he has agreeatly as.
tonished his friends and astoundedhi enc

people that he is man of splendid talent,
An eloauentand powerful reasoner, and

Mr. rs opponents sometimes accuse him
Of not being altogether awake, but we are
confident that the "ldes of November"
will convince them that he has been wide
awake at least enough so, to enable him
to scatter whiggery 10 the four winds Of

frequently asserted that they were always
in GOOD condition during the existence OF
United States Bank an extract from
memorial of that Bank 10 Congress IN 1871
is published TO show thata National BANK
will not regulate exchange or con'o It's
price, but that it depends upon The pay
ment of specie BY the Banks. By The
statement of the Bank itself during IFS eX-
istence, exchange was as high as hlty per

BY an examination Of the journals since
1886, period in which majority Of our
State Banks were chartered, it will be
seen, on an average, that the whig votes
for the Banks were 2 to more than dem
ocrats, and that the aveOse of democrats
voting against Bank charters is three to
one of wings. As the wings had a majsr.
iy in the last Legislature, the paternity Of
the manv Banks erected rests with them
and the Democrats are called upon to eff
feet thorough reform. They are wisely
requested moi to trust to the hollow pledges
Of opponents, but to unite on men of theil
own sentiments. and sacrifice every Other
consideration than that which will contrib
Ute to the triumph of principle.
The democratic candidates now before
the people are warmly recommended t'
their sufrages as being both honest anc
capable to discharge the duties of the Off
Gers TO which they aspire, and az having
the entire confidence of their fellow cit
zens.
In conclusion, the committee urge upor
electors the necessity Of atlendadce ut The
poles on the first Monday Of Novembe

Of civil liberty, and the hts Of man.
