80. den gloom has spread over the face OF oar
rn5I;c affairs. That inscrutable Providence which
dc,rvcd US of our beloved President while the ac-
CARNATIONS which hailed his Inauguration yet lin-
ccred on the ear, has been followed by other ca
ami,ies alike disastrous and dcplored. II were
idle to recall or reci,e them now-thcy arc llving
in your mcmories-they weigh upon your hearts
Enough, that at the close of the first session OF
Congress under the Wing ascendency-a session
which has been productive o; more wise, benehccnt
and wholesome measures than all the ten sessions
preceding ia session which has added vastly 10
the permanent resources of our own State, and al
the S,ates-which has provided amply and justly
for the National Defence and the National Credit
which has rekndled the fame OF Hope upon many
,!csolatc heartls and in yoIy many desparins
hearts-a session which in all respects save one
has already fulfilled the pledges OF the Wings L"
the Country, while it ha, done mach for The
restoration of National Prosr +ty-at the close OF
such session we find the great and Pairouc parts
which has accomplished so much for the general
welfare, paralyzed by inglofious apathy, sur
rendering into the hands OF lis oppreS'ors all That

We speak frankly to you, fellow citizens, "a he-

YOU may be trusted with the Truth, you know
that We are incapable of addressing you IN any
other language. Fully aware, as YOU are, that the
late Loco-Foco triumphs in sister States arc
based on no serious diminuion OF the Wing strength
nor any considerable accession to Our adversarc-,
but solely on apathy and distraction in view OF the
recent difficulties at Washington which have para
yzed the eXcr,ioRs OF portion OF our friends and
withheld many of them from the polls We yet say
to you the sincerity of profound conviction that
n similar course your part. followed naturally
by similar result in this State, will be virtually
fatal to our hopes of maintaining WING prepon-
derance in the Councils OF the National Admins
traton And with the overthrow OF the Wing
ascendency perishes not only The nope OF securing
the other blessings for which we have struggled
but is restored to power party pledged to Re
peal" the DisTRIBCIioH LAW. These are among
the conseq uenccs depending upon the issue Of your
rapidly approaching Election. trcemen OF New
York we cntreat that your efforts be proportional
to the magnitude of the blessings TO be secured
the calamities to be avcrtcd.
Electors of the Empire State 1t has devolved
on YOU in more than one memorable cn'is to save
the cause of your Country from dlSnster-upholdins
and sustaining it until feebcr hands and hearts
we're nerved to assist you in bearing it on to VIC
tory. 1t was your earthquake voice which in 1887
first pealed the popular condemnation of the Sub
Treasury project 1t your indomiiablr spirit
which in 1888, whea Maine, Maryland Penn-yl-
.ana and Ohio succunbcd To Executive Iowcr,
restored the hopes and revived the energies OF the
Republic. 1t was your undaunted tirmness-your
lofty, patriotic devotion, which in 1889, when al
most every other State surrendered, rekndIcd the
dying watch fires upon the battlements OF Freedom,
and in the breasts of your admiring countrymen lit
UP an enthusiastic ardor of which the triumph of
1910 was the Legitimate result! Freemcn OF New
York You are they who achieve | those glorious
victories; your Country again appeals ioryour flla
aid in her direst calamity and il the same spirit
still lives in your breas you can rescue her again
Is she not worthy generous effort
At all events we entrcat you fclow-citlzens to
CONE FORWARD AND VOTE at the approaching cleo
ton Indifference in such a crisis Is the blacklist
treason. If you are tired of serving your Country
turn against her and vote the Loco Foco ticket. If
YOU desire the restoration Of Scrviity vcnaliiy and
corruption in our State Councils--ii you wish TO
see the business of Banking monopoly in the
hands of a central power and the liberty 10 pursue

the return Of that rule which so long rendered New
York politics by-word for corruption through this
land. then vote openly for the Loco Foco ticket,
and secure at once the object of your desires ard
the reward of your eXertions. But never NC I'M
pore vou let the thought enbtter your future years
that New York fell supiney into the grasp OF her

vented il.
For the vcnal, the versatile, the tmid, the fee
bic in purpose, offer no indictments 10 en-
gage earnestly in the cause ct the People IN the
coming contest. The struggle must be arduous, but
its issue need not be doubtful The spoilers a, once
smartlng under tine tremendous defeat OF last year
and electrified with sudden and sanguinc hopes by
recent occurrences already in the field with their
drilled followers To their fierce onset we can on
pose only the calm good sense, the stern integrity,
the indomi,able patriotism of the majority OF The
Freemen of New York. If these WI but devote
10 their country the few days intervening before
Election, in the spirit and with the energy OF the
three last contests then Victory will again smile on
the Wing banner and Hope thrill the breasts of
our brethren all over:the Union. To you Frccmen
OF New York is committed the great duty OF keep
ing alive the sacred flame of Liberty nrd the fury
of the tempest, when fecblsr hands have proved
unequal TO the task. May the result prove .ou
worthy of the high responsibilities. with which you
are entrusted, and commend YOU still more strong.
