cloud up the ballot-box with the sulphurous blasts
of gunpowder? Must you all-decency men, you
all-piety people choose military peacock to rep
resent YOU, under the contemplate plea that you
are not strong enough to put the great mantle
greatest man you or your party ever had, or ever
will have-into the Presidential chair? Will you,
men of the South, when you know that we Union
men of the North have been working for you We
hemently, generously, without being bought with
out being paid, without expecting reward, or no
ping for one, or wishing for one-will you turn us
the cold shoulder and put in the man that we have
been most periodically trying to put down? Will
you take the man who was put up by Horace Gree
ley, the arch-agitator of the present century, and
adopt as your favorite the man who has had even
the prayers if we believe the methodist preach
ers, of Bill Seward Will you take the man of
Lloyd Garrison even, and Fred. Douglass, the mig
ger? Do you want to vote for Seward, personated
BY this six feet two inches General? If you do,
take him; but remember, gentlemen of the South,
every vote cast South of Mason's and Dixon's line
for General Scott, is vote against the Constitu-
tion-against the Union-in favor Of Seward-in
favor of Greeley-in favor of the men who have
kept the torch burning to fire your homes with.
If you think not try the experiment. We are safe
enough here. We have no particular apprehen-
sions when we go to sleep. The fremen will put
out the confagration. The ghost of the negro
does not haunt our pillows.

ELECTORS.

Both parties in this State have agreed, SO far *
this Presidential election is concerned, to adopt the
present Congressional as Electoral Districts, with
one Elector for the State at large. Under the ar
portionment of the Census of 1850, this State lose;
one Electoral vote; and this plan has been adopt
ed in order that the Electors may take the field at
once, and with the expectation that the Genera
Assembly, which is to meet on the first Monday ID
October, will sanction the plan, This can be done
by simply repeating the existing law in relation to
Electoral Districts, and by declaring the CongFs-
sional Districts Electoral Districts and adding an
Elector for the State at large.
The Democrats have already appointed an hec-
tor for the State at large, and Electors for fou.
Districts. The Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and
Eighth Districts are still without Electors; and It's
hoped that our friends in these Districts will lose 10
time in making the necessary appointments
