iure. Ye, would warn our friends that we have an
enemy 10 contend with who is greedy for continuance
the spoils-who looks to continuance OF the Glphin
and rdiner frauds with intense ongings and will fight
desperately TO the last moment. Two weeks more of
steady, pcrseveng labor and watchfulness will crown
our Iabors, and our cause will uiupmh. Let every
democrat n the city, in The State and in the Union re-
new bs exertions, and determine do more for the
cause at the next election than be has ever yet done
