Before another week will have passsd-another Thursday reached sta,es enough of this union will have voted to deter mine for veal or for the destines of the country Is it necessary for us, at this late hour, urge upon any freeman the discharge of his duty We do not believe 1t is-we think every whig has for many months been panting for the day to arrive when he may cast in his mite towards assisting in the redemp- tion of his country from its present corrupt and nbe cie rulers. We have for long time considered that the victory was won and have been anxiousy wait ing for the middle of November to arrive that ~e might have the opportunity to record it. We have for months believed that surely as the ides of No vember should be passed so surely would majority of the independent freemeh of this country deposit their votes against Martin Van Buren, and in favor of WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON. Come up then to :he polls fellow freemen, on Monday next, and cast in your votes for honest and capable men-men who will have the welfare of their country at heart, in- stead of their own personal aegrandizemens-and you will have performed duty which during the re- ,nander of your lives you will reflect upon with plea sure and satisfaction.

Farr'son can afford ,o lose that--wlich we have no idea he wil!--and still be chosen by handsome majority. We think
