their acts Of atempted oppression and
dictation as uawrthythe occasion and
unwarranted ! yany precedent.
Fsllow- Cais,s, 1t is now seriously
by so@d designing demagogue
in the last Telegraph, toipublish the
Poll taken onlthg 24th instant, giving
the names Of v6@s in our county, and
ho,o they vote, although you, reader,
were answerabls "a sacliqueD in Nor
'gantown for the hammer in which YOU
exercise the dearet right Of q FREE
MAN, the right otsufrage! Apro-
position SO unusual, and at such time
as the eve Of the lection, is not with.
out its object. Andyhatis that object?
Fellow-citiz 1T isnothing less than
to intimidate the fire and Independent
voters of Monongall from exercising
the right of suffrage according the.
dictates of their reasn, and in solemn
view of our.present lational position!
1t is an attempt to fcestall the express
sion of the opinions,f our citizens at
the Ballot Box! Its the attempt of
the unprincipled delagogne to holdia
rod in terror over 10 people of this
county, In giving e1ression to their,
preferences. II is he last resort of
alarmed politicians . bolster up q
sinking cause, and tcphip the people
into subjectionito theilaictation! The
Pope in the Vatican, the King on his
throne, can do no mosthan this. Ro-
manism nor Foreign Influence could
originate no baser mslt to American,
citizens, than to issue dictum soiodi-
Gus to every feeling of republican In.

that will give stability 81 that Union,
and preserve it from thrttened danger
or disruption. You bow that our
candidates are men, enpetent and
trustworthy, able and client, who will
represent those principl, in the sta
