"iStrase my name from the .NottinghanlRst." :"
Below will bo found The able address
of Mr.. Geigor, and nine cen other highly
respectable citizens, renouncing whigge
ry, and calling on the honest wings to
''come out from amougthe foul party."-
We,have no room for comment this week,
but the address speaks for itself, and its
tones are but the DEATH KNELL Of wings
gerry in this county. Messrs. Geiger,
Corbua, CaIhoon, Ligget, and several
others were leading wings in 1910, some
ofthem prominent stump speakers, and
their remuneration will carry dismay and
chagrin TO the hearts of their late fwhig
associates. Cheer up, democrats-Our
country can yet be saved, If every man
does his du'y. Push on the democrat.

to action, and make US fearful of the fuN
ture prosperityof our beloved country?
In the memorable campaign OF 40, we
had but one interest at stake, but one
object in view, which was the happiness
and prosperity of the American people

promises, who would best serve to car

we're thus induced to give our influence
and votes to those men. But, how have
