THE ELECTION.

dsrids questions that will raise our State to the
hsi0b,h of prosperity, or send her adrift on the
sea of adversely, bebuaeted by the surges of dis
credit, and wrecked on The rock Of reputation!
One little month 70 decide whether we shall have
u currency, regulated by awsol our own making
and convertible into specie at pleasure; orwhelh.
Ur our currency shall be made up Of the "wild'
cat" and "red.dog" issues Of other States, un'
known to our people, and so far from the place of
redemption, as to render its conversion into spe.
cie entirely out Of the question! One lule
month 10 decide whether our public works shall
continue under the control of honest agents, their
revenues expended for the public good, and the
interests OF the State fostered and protected: or
whether the Yontzes, the Mulrines, the Bates,
the Barneys, the Dickensons, and myriads of
other blood.sucker shall be again empowered 10
enrich themselves at the expense Of the State,
appropriate the revenues Of the public works TO
themselves, and involve the State in burhen.
some debt by then proAigacy and extravaganza!
One lule month 10 decide whether we shall have
an equal and just system Of taxation, ncurring
fair proportion of burlhens and benefits upon the
people; or whether we shall return 10 the odious
system of taxation, which taxed the farmers and
working men at a ruinous rate, and permitted the
money-lender, the usurer, the merchant-lhose
wholord itin splendid palaces and guering carrl-
uges-lo go scott free! One little month to decide
whether the State shall eapporIioned in a farand
equal manner, allowing each voter an equal
voice in the Legislature; or whether the State
shall be again Gemymandered, laid otfin'o unfair
and unequal districts, allowing voter in Loco
foco county more influence, at particular crisis,
than Two voters in Wing county! All these,
and many other questions must be determined
within the next month.

stroyed your cunency,-feasted upon your hard
earnings-reduced your State to bankruptcy
fastened burhensome debt upon you-and left
you TO the mercy Of sharpers and swindlers-ore
now sraining every nerve TO reinsate themselves
in power. Every scheme that corruption can de-
wise, infamy circulate, and proAigacy carry into
execution, is resorIed to. Every species Of de.
ception, Of falsehood, Of trickery, Of intrigue,

can invent, is brought TO bear on The approaching
election. The orders are 10 carry the State, re-

Wings of Carroll! 1t is you to whom we de-
sire particularly 10 speak. 1t is to you that we
would particularly give this warning. 1t is
you that it particularly concerns. Your county
is particularly pointed out as one to be brought
under the Locoloco yoke. Your interests are to
be made playthings 10 the desperate and reckless
legislation Of Locofocoism. Your rights barter
ed TO satisfy an insatiate love Of power. If the
LocoGocos, through your inaction, should succeed
in carrying the next Legislature, it will probably
he many years before you again have voice in
the General Assembly of the State. The party
that endeavored TO blot out your political exist
ence by attaching you TO Jefferson county, will,
for The same purpose, wed you to Columbiana, tie
YOU to Locofocos who are ever vigilant, and

has any desire for such connecticut Just think
Of it. Nothing but defeat and disaster could
