Only Two Weeks!

1t is only two weeks from this day till the
day of election. Keep in mind, fellow Re-
publicans, that if you expect to triumph, a
thorough organization is absolutely necessary.
See that all your nominations are made in
time, and that your nominees are the very
best men you can find in your several local
tiles. Then, when this is accomplished, all
hands should go to work with coats off and
sleeves rolled up. .Hsf, ..t
E RecoAea, all the anhle, that the election
of HENRY NJ RICE is an endorsement Of the
repeal Of tie Missouri Compromise, and coiiiise-
quently an endorsement ofthe outrages which
have resulted from that wicked act in the Ter
ritory of Kansas.
Recollect that STEPHEN a. DOUG
LAS will rejoice when he hears of Rice's
election, and that the administration organs
all over the country will claim it as victory
for STRINGFELLO # and ATCIIISON.
E Recollect, that two weeks from this
day, Minnesota must decide whether she is
in favor of Freedom or Slavery.
