DEMOCRATS TURN OUT,

vote the whole ticket. This is an import-
ant election. A Congressman, Judge Of
the Supreme Court, and Canal Commits
sioner must be chosen. The wings through
out the State are active and using every
effort to elect their candidates 1t is the
duty of every man TO vote. No matter
how much work he has to do, no matter
how busy he may be, if he is able to walk,
it is high duty he owes 10 his country 10
go to the polls and vote. No man who
has any love for his country and her insti
tutions will neglect this duty. The man
man who does neglect it is no! worthy of
the proud name of freeman, he does not
deserve 10 enjoy the blessings Of republic
can government.
The wings confidently assert that they
will carry the State. They cannot do it if
the democrats turn out. This State is and
ever has been democratic, aud the few
times it has fallen under whig misrule the
democrats have failed to do their duty
On the result of the general election de-
pends the Presidential election. Let eve
ry democrat vote, and the State is sale for
us by 10000 majority! Then come out
democrats, every man of you, meet the
whig boosters and vanquish them as you
have SO often done. The eyes of your sis
ter States are upon you. Present again
your unbroken front to TO the assault and
march on to glory and victory.
WILLIAM HorKrNs, the candidate for Ca
nal Commissioner, is a sterling democrat
who, during the Buckshot war, stood firm
against the schemes of Ritner, Stevens and
Burrowes, and retained his seat in the
speakers chair in spite of the armed men
brought up by the wings 10 oust him. The
honest democrat was not TO be intimidaed
by partizan threats or traitors arms. He
sustained your rights against the buckshot
and bayonets of Ritner's army you will
now stand by and sustain him.
Hon. GEORGE w. WOODWARD, for Su-
preme Judge is man against whom the
foulest whig slanderer dare not breathe a
word. He is profound judge, a pure and
religious man and an unwaverng democrat.
Gov. Bigler appointed him to the Supreme
Bench to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the death Of Judge Coulter. That Cover
nor's endorsement is sufficient to give him
the confidence and support of the people,
were he unknown before.
OF CHRISTIAN NJ. STRAUB, our nominee
: for Congress we need say little. He is a
native of this County and although but a
short time resident of Schuylkil county
he has gained the confidence and respec,
of the whole community. The fact that
he has filled three Of the most important
, Offices in that county and received unani-
f nous nomination are the strongest proofs
OF his worth. He is the poor mans friend
and will always be found in the right place
! The ticket for County officers is a goot
, one. Follmer, Pursel, Nicely, Withing'
! ton and Kelly are all men in every respec
. worthy OF your support. Vote the whole
ticket. Every scratch upon the ticket is
4 whig gain. Volunteer candidates are les
t worthy of the vote of democrats than ar,
the wings. Every volunteer elected will
be claimed as a whig triumph. Do no
Il permit yourselves TO be deceived, bit rot
y the ,phole ticket.
; &C. DEMOCRATS beware of lying hand
'. bills abusing and slandering our candidate.
~ number will be circulated day or tw
