On the 9TH Of November the great quos.
tons at issue between the two parties Of
the country win be decided, perhaps for
ages. Is there asWhig. worthy Of the
name, who will fail to attend the polls on
that day, and do what he can to secure
the eleetiOn..Of those men.who will carry
out the principles upon whirh We believe
rests the.happine.s and permanent pros
perty Of the people Of the United States.
The CONTEXT has. been a warm one. the
principles Of the Wing party. have been
fully discussed-and now but ONE DAY
Of faithful labor 10 required TO give us
glo nus triumph. Let neither bad wea-
ther. nor aslight indisposition, keep you
from the Polls. AgoOd Wing will cheer
fully make sacrifices Cor his country. And
mark IL: our opponents were never more
jealous than in this contest, for they know
that decision against them in this cleo
lion will be one from which they can take
no appeal. Condemned now, and they
must forever abandon their destructive !
measures. Their Leaders are making eve |
ry effort to rally them for this struggle. |
See the notice in .o-days paper for meet
ing in this place on tho Saturday before
the elec,ion-tonly Two days previous)-I
at which Gen. Daniel is to address them.
The party are well disciplined; the voice |
of their leaders will be regarded, and they |
will turn out in their strength. Shall the |
Wings be less united, or less jealous, con-
scious Is they are Of the business Of their
cause and the magnitude Of the stake at is

faithfully discharge the great duty which
you owe to your country. !: Zone fire
more, and the day is ours"
Remember, the election is on Monday.

these markets for -four the Orange farmer
is altogether indebted to the protection
which the Tariff gives TO the Northern

quantities Of wheat and corn are raised on

protection, and compel the New England
crs to resort to the cultivation Of the earth

growers in the counties on our sea-board
would no longer find there a marke, for
