Voters of the Sixth Congressional District! {!
ar % USE!

II II u L , II
As this is the last time we shall have ar
opportunity of addressing you before the
day of election, we propose making few
cording to our humble opinion. You should
act on that day. And, the first thing we
would say is, that every democrat in the
district should consider it his conscientious
duty not only to 60 - the polls himself
but see that all lis neighhors do the sa ne
thing. And why do we say that you should
60 to the polls! and why do we thnk it
duty, which you owe to justice, to YOUR
selves, and to Gen. 3LcKoy, that yon
should make it a point to give him
a full ana overW helming vote, if we may
use the expression ! Isl. because we, or
any body else, th"k ths y danger
s % s.. sss"H os s ares
wings themselves don't expect, FOR has
any democrat dreampt Of such thing
Here is the reason why we now urge up
on our friends thai they should turn out to
man on next Thursday. A dead set, b
use common phrase, has been made a.
gainst your old friend and faithful servant
Gen. Elchoy. Charges most grnundIe4 ]
and hlgiuOns against his character have
been iudustriousy circulated throughout
the district; every artiliee and every trick
has been resored 10 for the purpose Of
bIignting the we'll earned reputation of
yoar Candidate. Knowing we'll that the
principles which Gen. Mckay processes,
and III the triumphant advocacy Of which
he has borne so long and so distinguished
a part, are those which YOU yourselves
bold dearer than life ITSELF the federal can
didate and the teIe:al leaders in the dis
trict have not attempted to assaiI them
No; the game has been to trump up a set
o. charges the most grouAdIess Aagi!ious,
as we said before, having little or no bear
ing at all upon the great issues which d.
vide the two parties. 70 traduce and
blacken the public character of Gen. Nc
Kay in every possible shape and form.
has been the sole object of the federal par
! ty during the campaign. Agains! all the
charges which have been made agains
hin, he has trumphantIy defended himself
We now call upon you to come up to the
polls and shew Gen. McKay's enemies
that instead of shaking your confidence in
him their attacks hdt had no other effec
than to create a still stronger manifesto
ton of your confidence and esteem. We
call upon you, too, 10 reflect, that shout,
Gen. Mckay not receive the foil strength
of the party, even although Mr. Near,
may not get one democratic vote, Still
your opponents would make handle O
the matter. They would boast of It as
zs+aSAIaaig triumph. Then let every good demo
Graf be certain toe sss.IAalhe polls on Thurs
day next. Let us give Mr.. Hesres-sncl
all out and out drubbing as will teach hin
that lie has been utterly mistaken in thu
course Of eleclioneering which he has a
dopted. Let u.s. by our,majoriy on Thurs
dav next, tell our leIIow-citzens through
out the State, that we appreciate Gen. Nc
Rays merits, and that we are willing tC
honor his talents in lhe face of the world
Now is a leisure season, when every MAJ
can afford TO spend day in The perform
ance Of the duties which he owes 10 hi
country. Go to the polls, then. and b,
sure you see that all your neighbors g,
also. We look for full vote. Gen. Mc
Kay deserves it. Will he not getit? Yes
especially as this may he the last time tina
you will have an opportunity Of voting fo
him. But why need We urge you. You
gratitude for services rendered will be
sufficient inducement to bring you olt i.
your strength. Once more we saw. sbt
sure you 60 10 the polls and shew 10 the
world that Indignation and scorn are the
only feelings which the attempt to niure
your tried servant, Gen. Mckay, have ex
cited in your bosoms. Again: we saw +,
you, 60 10 the polls, and shew TO the worlt
by your votes that you repudate federal
ism in every shape and form. That vor
are now. as you have ever been, utterly
opposed TO the principles of the fedora
party TO which Mr.. Mearcs belongs.
We have made these few remarks be-
cause some of you might be disposed l.
stay at hcYWs seeing there is no absolute
necessity tor your voting, as Gen. MCKAY
is certain to be elected.Sb>
l~Let as giUe Gen. Mckay as full
q cote as aOe gaze Mr.. Polk IN NoUenabe,
last. Ne can and must do it, a9
