his repeated assertions to the contrary;
they are now determined TO lessen his ma

lessen our majority if for nothing else'

Newbury from Connecticut, wing, de-
clared in his seat in Congress, "that we
never should have prosperous times IN
this county until the poor man, as in Eu-
rope, was obliged 10 work for sleeps
head and pluck day and lie under cart
at night"
In Pennsylvania, under the admlnistra-
ton of Gov. Ritner, the wing Governor,
no laborer was permitted to remain in the
employ of the state unless he would
pledge himself to support his (Rimer's)
reelection. The poor man was deprived
of earning his bread by The sweat of his
brow, unless he would abandon his right
to feel, to think and to act as a free and in
dependent man.
Read the remarks of Root federal
wing senator from New York. Speaking
of Irishmen, he says: ''they arc men who
swear falsely with perfect iopnity as it
respects punishment in this world, and
according to whose faith, perhaps the
price of a days labor gives them absolute
security for the nert."

FREEMEN AROUSE i!
TO The Democratic ToterS Of La Sale,
Kane and De KALI counties,

To Inc Denl0 crane p0ieTS q III S6f",
Kane and De Kob counties.
We arc upon the eve of an election in
this state, of the greatest importance to
the continued success of those principles,
that were advocated by the immortal JEFF
fcrson, and that are indelbly rcccrs'cd on
the corner stone of the Temple of Amer
lean freedom and independence.
We form but small portion OF the po-
litical strength of the state OF Illinois, and
still smaller portion of that OF the I'm
ion; but VIC should reflect before we act,
that the great Democratic strength OF this
nation. owes its success on all occasions
to the union of its elementary parts
With UNION as the watchword, such Is
the character of the mass of our citizens,
that Democracy, can never be defeated.
II is not intended in this brief address,
to dwell upon the long established and C.
tcrnal principles of Democracy. They
are understood by Democratic Eeemen,
and we know, that at this time, when dcs-
perato excitement actuates our opponents,
and their reason is drowned in Hurt CT
der hurras, we need not attempt their con-
version.
We would remind you that the Demo
cratic majority in this district, two years
ago, was about ciereG huWdred; and that
the Wings of ia Sale county, one year
ago, had SO little hope of success, that
they did not run candidates ior county Of
ticcrs. 1t is as well known that a Demo-
cratic contention assembled at Ottawa
this spring, and nominated Ahfam j.
Dodge, gentleman worthy in all respects
of your support, as their candidate for the
House of Representatives and that Z
large and respectable democratic meeting
in Kane has confirmed that nomination
and also, that a VMg convention has like
wise assembled and nominated l.. W
Link as the U1ig candidate, although
his circular "to the Independent IoterS,
&c." might lead you to think, from its
duplicity, that lie would sustain the prln
ciples OF both parties.
This Uhig candidate has been nomi
mated against the known Democratic
strength Of This District How then dc
the Wings expect to succeed! Only b,
the mis-statcments, chicancry and false
assertions which they have commenced t.
promulgate, and intend to continue unit
the very day of the election.
1t is unnecessary to refer to the man,
Coffin hnd-bW stories that they repor
and propose to publish. Suffice it to say
that they will use the most desperat
means, that money and handbWs with q
fdauits and certificates can afford.
The certificate and hand-JW part.
should be but another name for Hdrd ca
der Federal Uhigs. Their candidate
and cause have been condemned in tn
use of such vile measures upon more dis
tinguished occasions. Then let us unit
and defeat them as signally this time.
1t is sufficient to remind you, that
their stories were true, and published i
candor and honesty; they would not hav
promulgated them on the eve of an cleo
ton, when you cannot test their truth
hearing both sides. ~

TENIlESE Pills are admirably calculated to
H. cleanse the stomach, restore the proper
functions of the hillary organs when impaired,
and dispel with promptness the premonitory
symptoms of the Bilious Fcvers IN this state.
Being made expressly for the use of persons IN
this climate, and intended for family medicine,
so that every one may avail themselves OF the
means of cure, and apply the remedy when the
first symptoms of disease make their appearance,
which will be noticed by bad taste in the mouth
in the morning, with some headache, and iurrcd
tongue.
Dycc,i0p8.--The dose for adults is four pills, TO
he taken on going to bed at night; and If they
should not operate by morning, take two or three
more, and repeat them every night until relief is
obtained. But if four pills should operate more
than two or three times actively, it will be best TO
take but two or three the next time. Children
from five to ten years old may take from one to
two plls for a doss.
