Go 10 Work.

We extract the following from an article
which appeared in the New York Tribune Of
Thursday morning:
l. Be sure that every Wing vote in your TOwn
is polled for Electors of President Do not
trouble yourself 100 much about other counties
and States do not run off to distant Conven-
iiors and mass meetings. but take care of
things at home, and trust your brethren else
where TO do likewise.
Do not ask whether your State is certain or
doubtful we want all the Whig votes for Hen
ry Clay. If you live in State as safe as Yer
mont or as dark as South Carolina, just do your
whole duty and trust consequences to the Dis
poser of events. Ii is not enough ,ha, we bare.
ly elect Mr.. Clay; we must show decided
Wing preponderance in the popular vote of the
Union, and 10 this every Whig vote mus. come
out. vo,e in Alabama will count just as much
toward the aggregate as one in New York.
Q. Be ready for Ruin. The day of Election
may be siormy-there may be driving, blind
ing, snow Storm in some sections, and a north.
east rain in others this mus. not reduce the
Wing vote--if you are prepared for it, it ,oill
not. But you must be ready, know where the
carriages are to be had, and who is 10 bring TO
the polls each remote voter who has no convey.
ance of his own. Arrange this at once, and be
sure tina, the men appointed can be relied upon.
3. Be widc dUake for cleetioneeriag hes. You
will very likely have news, jus, on the eve Of
Election, that Mr.. Clay is dead, or has done
some horrible thing, or that the Wings in some
section have abandoned him. There is nothing
TOO incredible Dolhiuu loo mon strous IN he fab.
ricaied by portion Of our adversaries. The
villains who can persis, in assuring the people
Of Pennsylvania that Polk is friendly TO the pres.

any documen. which might seem calculated ,o

there are thousands even now opposed to U.
