Democrats, remember, that Tuesday next,
he Second day Of November, great battle
will be fought. On that day the people Of
this Union will exercise the right which ev-

sacred maintenance Of the common bond and
true devotion TO the common Brotherhood.
Remember. that there isa party which has
been in favor Of assuming powers not ex-
