deavors to asr,ls en- the attention Of the people +
the importance Of the election which - t4st aP
proachlug. If apathy aud indifference shtIi pos

10 the State and The onion. All that Is waEfInl
In bring this homo IN rs fullest force 10 every
mind, - a calm review Of the past by th:7, n
one need DO mistaken To the future. II The
same party who have heretofore controlled The

properly ch1rgcable with IT'S present PROSTATE and
ruined condition, again placed IN power. tho
people have bal litile to expect other than fix
ed Determination to carry out those high handed
projects which now 80 justly complained Of.
We hope tho Wings vii take warning before II

the alert; ready aud willing - express ms true
and honest conviction As to the measures neces>
sary 10 be adopted for the future, and the nen IN
whom he can best confilo in carrying them ont.
From every correct view which can be taken o.!
the country NJ present, nil must lament the loss
which the nation sustained IN the death Of Pres

Ing words, when addressing hi n1eif, as 1t were,
to hIs successor: Sir wish you to underst and
the true principles of the govctnment-l wish
them carried out ask nothing more"
Lee, every true Wing, therefore, do his share in
having those principles carried ont, and all, We
trust, VIII soon be well with us as nation.
