Remember.

anu IL pccoines the people OF Arkansas to
consider well the effects likely to be pro-
duced By their votes before they cast them
in the ballot-box. Let them remember that
if abuses exist in the administration of pub,
lie affairs, the people. at the ballot-box,
hold the only corrective power, and that if
careless or negligent in the exercise of this
power, existing abuses will not only be con-
tlnued, but become more glaring and des-
pcrate Let them remember that these glo-
rlous opportunities of asserting their SUI
premacy only come at intervals: and let
them beware, lest like the rain, accompa-
MED by the destroying whirlwind, they crush
instead Of relieve the dropping prospects of
the country.
Let them consider we'll the condition of
things in this State. Let them reflect calm
ly dispassionately. Let them look impair
tally at evils as they exist; and let them
boldly apply the rcr.edy.
Freemen of Arkansas, we would have
you remember the misrulc by which our
State has been brought to its present dcplr-
rable condition. Remember that Locofoco
(. leaders, grasping for the spoils. and eager
only for their own advancement, have been
mainly instrumental in producing it, Re-
member that no relief ear be expected by
electing them to office and that the interests
of the State cannot possibly be worsted by
throwing it's influence in the scale against
those who, under the imposing exterior of
Democracy, have 50 long opposed its pro-
gress, and tramplcd on its best interests.
BE sure not to forget the SECOND DAY OF
NOVEMBER next; and as you go to the polls,
remember, that, although Democratic ru-
lers and leaders have had the sway in Ar
kansas since its first independent existence,
they have done nothing to advance its inter-
ests. but have lorled it rough-shod, to the
injury of the people and the bankruptcy of
the State
Remember that the syrcn sorgs of De-
mocracy and State prosperity which you
have heard so loudly chaunted throughout
the present canvass are the same old songs
whose echoes have died away amongst the
blasted hopes Of deluded people, THE
same old songs which. having dccoycd the
State to the brink of ruin, still urge it for.
ward over the precipicc, and forbid it to
burst from the dangerous enchantment, or
to retrace its steps
Experience is powerful and rough
teacher; and blind and stubborn indeed, are
they upon whom experience is wholly lost
thrice bird and stubborn indeed, are they
who, having suffered for years under the
paralyzing desrotism of Democratic rulers
cannot see an enemy in the hand that
slnitcs them, or seeing it will not reprove it.
Remember, Frccmen of Arkansas as
you march to the polls that PIERCE and
KING are the candidates of the party by
whose Ignorance or selfish contracted policy,
our State has been made bankrupt, and low
cred in the estimation of her sisters of the
Republic Think you that PIERCE and
KING, if elected, will do more for the Uni
ted States-more to make thcrl prosperous at
home and respected abroad, than Democrat
ic rulers have done for Arkansas! Can the
policy which, for years persisted in, has
nearly ruined Arkansas, be productive of
any beneficial results when operating in a
wider sphere? On the contrary will not it's
ruinous effects be the more widely felt and
deplored!
Remember, as you go to the polls that
FRANKLIN PIERCE, the Democratic nomi-
nee for the Presidency has never done any
thing to distinguish himself although often
elected to. important, stations, and allowed
by partial constituency ample orportuni-
ties for 50 doing.
Remember that the times require a Ma
tional Statesman of sound and impartial
views. and far-reaclins vision; and that
FRANKLIN PIERCE has never risen above
the contracted bigotries and prejudices and
the sectional and limited interests of sin
gle State, and that State New Hampshire-
the most bigoted and preiudicial and con-
tractcd in its notions of policy of any in
the Union
Remember that if FRANKLIN PIERCE
never distinguished himself as military
man, it was not because he had TO opportu-
nifty OF doing so. nor because he despised
