DEMOCRATS Oh ClMDRIl,
oNCE MORE TO T'8EE POLLS

GECE MORE TO Ts2E POLLS
On next Tuesday, the 2nd day of November.
the Presidential contest will be decided. 1t be
comes you as citizens of this Republic to exer-
else your right of suffrage, and through the Bal
lot-Box to place your seal of colderAnation a
gainst the wrong and in favor ofathe~ Right
For the first time in the history of our country
have we a candidate for the Presidency, (Gen.
SCoTT,) taking the field in person, and within a
few weeks Of the election, traversing the Union
urging his military services and thus appealing
to the military enthusiasm Of the people for sup
port. Such conduct merits and must receive the
disapprobation of the people. The Wings have
nominated the Commander of the Army, still
retaining his sword in hand, and hope to take
possession of the Government. Democrats, up
on you devolves the responsibility Of defeating
the schemes of that party which is patriotic in
peace and always against the country in war
The immortal WAsHINGTON solemnly resigned
his sword to Congress, at Annapolis, and retired
to Mount Vernon, before he allowed a sugges-
ton of his name for civil office. Gen. JACKSON
although long out Of the army, retired even
from the Senate Of the United States to the Her.
mitage on his announcement as a candidate for
the Presidency. Gen. Harrison, thirty years
out Of military duty, never ventured among the
people to plead military services qualitca
ton for office. Gen. Taylor did not make dis
play of himself and his warlike exploits and
although he held his commission he held his
peace. Gen. Scott is the first person who ever
asbired to the Presidency who has ever entered
in person this sort of recruiting service. The
design is to make the high places in the Repub-
lie, prizes to be won by the blood, not by the
votes Of the citizens bringing US back to the
days of Sylla, Marius, and the Triumyirates of
the ancient Roman Republic, and tending to
crush the liberties of the American People If
Gen. Scott is successful new element will be
introduced into the political struggles of this
happy country Military Leaders in person with
their forces will take the field on both sides as,
in the contentious at ancient Rome for the Con-
sulship, in the degenerate days of the Common
wealth. 1t is against such a calamity that the
American Democracy are now called upon
to vote so to avoid And it should be the
duty and pride of evory democrat to joyfully has
whig party to make the civil power second to
the military. 1t is upon you, patriotic Demo-
Gratis, to resist the pretorian bands which Gen.
Scott's mission through the States of Pennsyl-
vana, Ohio and New York, was intended to raj
ly to the polls. Your votes, next Tuesday,
will 90 this effectualy, and when the issue is
so great it becomes you, you love your coun-
- +I,o
cling the Democratic cause, and to aid in the ell
ovation Of the civilian and statesman Franklin
PIERCE, to the chief Magistracy of the Repub-
lie
Look at the opinions and principles of Gen.
Scott, and the principles of the whig party
whose nominee he is, and contrast them with
those of FRANK. PIERCE, and of the party which
nominated him, and we assured your YER
dict viii be in favor of the latter. Against the
firm and beautifully y-consistent democracy Of
FRANKLIN PIERCE not Single word can be said
He has proven himself an attached lover of the
Union, defender of the Constitution, a cham
pion for civil and Religious Liberty, an unwa-
vering Democrat and a sincere Patriot, whether
you examine his conduct in the Legislature of
his native State, as Representative in Congress,
as United States Senator, or as a member of the
Reform Convention to amend the Constitution of
New Hampshire And for such a man, in con-
nection with the pure and able statesman, VIM
K. KING, you can vote with hearty goodwill
that in doing you will contribute to
the advancement of the greatness of the Nation
and materially aid in the prosperity of the Uni
on.
When Gen. Taylor a candidate for Presi-
dent, the honest and unsuspecting old man
wrote that if elected he would prescribe no man
on account of his political opinions but that hon
esty and capacity would be the guarantees to
favor. Many democrats deluded by such false
promises, were induced to vote for the old man
with the brown coat" and he was elected. He
chose as coupsellors cabinet Of wings, who de- |
generated into Ga!phin swindlers and was
the pledge made good By no means The
democracy were made to believe one thing and
taught another. Thus has it ever been with the
deception practised by the wing party. Be dem
)crats, therefore, and when the candidate of the
ghig party solicits the vote of the foreigner by
liluding to that erich Irish brogue," or ..swect
ierman accent" and loves them so wei now /
urn to his letter of 1874, when he was seired
with Indignation" against 0U foreirners and
'ou will little wonder why ''that brogue" and
German accent had no charms for him then =
Then he was not candidate, now he ;s-for
our votes. Rebuke, by your ballots, such hy-
'ocrsy, and show that here in this, the Iaud of
our adoption, you cannot be appealed to as
