have already made up their minds, and little now re-
mains but that they should perform the mere mechan-
ca act necessary for giving force and expression to
the conclusions 10 which they may have comet on
" remains that they should 60 forward and deposit
their ballots as their judgment may dictate.
Apart from the usual considerations which should
opera,e to bring out full vote for the Democra-
tic party the moral effect of this election throughout
the Union ought not to be lost sight of. 1t ought
not to be forgotten how defeat of the Democratic
party would be hailed by the Abolitionists and Free
Sellers of the North as a rebuke TO the Administration
and 10 all other friends Of what Greedy and others
Of the same kidney are pleased to denominate, ''the
Nebraska fraud" It would be hailed aban-
donmen by the South Of those who had perilled all
their prospects at home for the sake of the Consttu
ton and the equal rights of every section under it..
It would give aid and comfort to our enemies while
it would proporGonably weaken the hands of our
friends That such would be its inevitable tenden
cy and result no one at all conversant with the tone
Of the Nebraska and anti Administration press
at the North, can honestly question. We can see now
the Haunting and faring capitals of the New York
Tribune and Times, and all other organs of like
character.
