Tho Hour and the Man!
In seven days from the present, Republic of
nearly twenty-five millions Of people will declared
its choice of chief ruler for the period Of four
years from the 4th day of March next There
will be bloodess contest for this station between
two parties very equally arrayed. Such con-
test, SO conducted has seldom been witnessed by
the world-so peaceful, SO universally under
stood in all its nature and effects, and delib-
crate and orderly in it's conduct Patriotism,
valor, honor, and religious zeal have often in
uenced the actions Of men in thechoice of POLITICAL
rulers; but the true republicanism taught and1
urged by the Book of Divine Revelation has never
before SO guided into the paths of wisdom and
peace the progress of great nation. Religions
name has been used to give sanction to the i'm
pous assumption of " the Divine right of Kings, Il
while the plain truths of Holy Writ, teaching
s'PEAcE AND GOOD WILL AMONG MEN" have beenI
overlooked and forgotten.
In the prospect of this national contest we rel
joice. We regard it precious privilege to|
live under the protection of government so con
stituted; and we call upon every American citizen|
to reflect upon the responsibilities resting upon
him. His brthright is of precious value, and bel
cannot forfeit it without guilt and ingratitude
Two candidates are presented for our election.
One of them is gentleman of fair abilities, and|
much beloved by the friends who have known himI
in the limited sphere of past position He is AMI
avowed and recognized member of the DemocraticI
party. Heisknown to be opposed to theprinciple of
protecting the industry of our own country FROM
the competition of the cheaper labor Of others,
and to the Improvement of the great channels
of commerce by the fostering Ourv of the gov
erDment. The other is citizen who as a war
rior, has won renown for his country wherever
her name is known, and as adept in interna-
tiona law, diplomacy, and administrative ability,
has earned proud distinction the scroll of fame
His name has for ferty years been as familiar as|
a household word in every homestead in the land.
He is man of pure life of unblemished honor,
of noble impulses, and of peculiarly national!
views upon every subject essential to the welfareI
of his country. Born and educated in the sunny
South, familiar with the North by the inter
course and service of years, accustomed to reflect
upon all subjects with reference to their national
importance solely, it is impossible that he CAM
limit his sympathies to any section of the Union.
He is moreover deeply interested in the prcser-
walton and improvement of every acre of land in|
and industry shall open the avenues of commerce.
to all portions Of our country by means Of river
and harbor improvements, railroads, and canals
rs we'll as by inducing the establishment of manu-
factories in every section. To the promotion of
these ends he will devote his energies by all
means within the constitutional powers of the
government.
The policy of our Government, the qualification
of the national pride, the manifestation of be-
coming gratitude, and the principles of common|
justice, concur in invoking suffrages for this
great and good man, and we firmly and consci-
entiously believe that the verdict Of the Ameri- !
can people will accord with these injunctons.
We invoke every Wing, by every sentiment
that endears to his hearts affections the land of
his BIRTH the land consecrated by the bleod of VIM
field Scott, to perform the sacred duty now de-
volving upon him--to 20 up to the ballot-box onj
the day of the election, and to deposit his vote as
conscience and duty shall dictate.
We also invoke every Wing, by his regard for!
his country's veal, to exert all the influence he,
possesses in inducing the performance of this i'm
portant duty by every voter within the range of
his observation. Let no sentinel of liberty sleep!
upon his post. The issue is important. OurI
fellow-citizens Of the other party are active en-
ergetic, and vigilant. They working UNDER
the prestige Of successes in certain recent State
elections and they are aided by the cheers, en-
couragement, and, as we believe, the pecuniayy!
aid, Of an INSCRIPTIONS money aristocracy inA
England, that is striving to crush the Industrial
enterprise Of this country, that their own manu-
featuring and shipping interests may prosper.
The contest is between American and British
policy. Our candidate is disposed to be liberal. /
just, and friendly toward other powers but he|
will not assent to system that will sacrifice the
interests Of any portion Of our own country even
though il should tend to win the favor Of oil the
rest Of the human family Let this be remem-
bered. Let SoorT, GRAHAM, and AMERICAN IN
TEREsrs be the watcbwords of our party, and
victory win soon sit gay upon our banners
