TO the Democratic Voters 81 New Hanover ard the

FELLow-C Ir1znSs: We address You for the last /
time before the day of election before that mper-
tant Second day of November which we all look for
ward TO tc our mutual abors with success and
to realize our warmest hopes for the triumph of our
party and its principles in the persons OF their tried
faithful and illustrious standard bearers Franklin
Pierce and VIM. r. King.
For months past, the press, and the stump-the
public meeting and the private assemblage-haEe
been engaged in canvassing the merits OF the eand-
dates presented by their respective parties for the
support of the American people, and it there be any
faith to be placed in the signs of the times-any
truth in the evidences of public opinion which reach
US from all quarters, the decision of the American
peope-and especially Of the people OF The Southern
States-has been pronounced in favor OF the NOM
inccs of the Democratic party ltnow only remains
for that great ury-that grand inquest OF the nation
to record its verdict the second day OF Novem-
ber-Tuesday next--in favor of Franklin Pierce and
VIM R. King, and against Winfield Scott and VIM.

of our own District;-one who has reflected credit
upon the land of his birth, while winning laurels in
tie home of his adoption has he no claims upon
the Democracy Of the Cape Fear-uIon the sons Of
