That MT kves - as great an enemy Of the Dstr-

The same old stale story has been got up this
year, in reiationto the sentiments OF Mr. Oakley

declared that no man ought to have vote that
was no, worth real-esta,e of two hundred and
Fifty dollars Tie slanderous falsehood was
brough, up when Mr.. Oakley was candidate for
me Assembly in Richmond County Mr. Oakley
came forward and sworc that the story was false
hood. The consequence was that he was elected
a, that and two subsequent Elections by increased
nsiorities. All his friends and neighbors knew
that his sentiments were directly the reverse. IN
deed, at the tirae when it said he made the de-
claretion, He 'oas not possessed Of that amount
of property, and the idea that he would disfran-

Attempts will be made to-day to push through
three or four voterS on one set Of Naturali1atio
papers, using them in different Wards. Let every
man whose right to vote is doubtful be questioned
aud challenged. No legal voter will be offended
at a scrutiny which is calculated and intended to
protect his own rights from fraudulent subverson.
Some will say that they voted in the Spring
nut that is no evidence Many who voted legally
then have since left the City and are no longer

The Importance OF ONE Vote.

When will Wings be consistent, and be convinced
that it is the one Uote which makes the majority.
After every Election it is found that here and there
Wing has lost his election by one or two votes
and then you will hear of number of Wings (who
would consider themselves insulted if charged with
siding with the Loco Focos,) who have not voted
Their culpable neglect proves that they did side
with the Loco Focos. He that is not for Us is
against us" Let each true-hearted Wing remember
that his ONE VOTE is the only reliable majority
md that it will keep opponent from being elect
I'd. Remember that the Tariff was carried by one
vote; and that Senator Wright place will be filled
by the vote of Wing, which will keep the Senate
Wing against the designs Of Anti-Protection ad
vocates and President Tyler. HENRY CLAY must
have Whig Senate.

The Basoness of Loco-Rocoisn

The Evening Post tries to dissuade the Wings
from voting because they have been robbed of the
fondly expected fruits of the great victory of 1910
by death and Infamous treachery. What prcft
to be a WAtg?" says the oracle of Toryisrn :;
q Are times any better" Is it not little too
much that we are nfamously cheated out of the
great measures of National benefcence for which
we have so ardently struggled, and then tainted
with our undeserved misfortunes Why have we
gained so little by our victory? Because our
President died and our Vice President turned trai-
tor to his friends and carried the power which we
had ceafded to his hands over into the camp of
his enemies. Hence the blighting Vetoes, the
prostitution of the whole influence Of the Govern
ment to the aid Of Loco-F Focoism. And now, while
our victory is marred by outrageous treas ason-whie
our own artillery, in the hands of our Accidental
scourge, is playing upon US from the battlsments
TO which he was confidently elevated. by us, our
old enemies cry out, like Arnold in 1890, :. What
haze you gained 6y yeur struggles You might
letter surrender at discretion" WHIGs let
