question vitality affecting the Union itself; if
they wish to see this Union dissolved, and the

vote for William f. Johnston and John Strohm ::
but if otherwise, then they should cast their
ballots for WILLIAM BIGLER and SETH CLOVER
who are the friends of the Union, and the enc
mics Of all who would rend il asunder Post
