To the Republican Voters Of Trumbull
County.
We issue u paper two days in ad
anc of lis dale, in the hope itmay reach
some Of you before the election, and lift
shall cau>e one single man to deposite
his ballet fer the cause OF frel dom, who
might otherwise haze staid al home, or
fail to vote, we shall feel amply re-
warded.
We appeal 10 you now, 10 remember
the duty which you owe, to the glorious
causein which We are engaged, the cause
of freedom. We do moi ask you 10 vote
rightly, for OF that We lave no f ar f; Git
you vote at all, but We ask you to vOse;
to disregard all private business, al per-
sonal considerations and to exercise that
dearest right of freemen, the right,o ex-
press your opinions through the ballot
box.
Remember, ifyOu fail 10 vote, you fail
to give your protest against the passage
of the Nebraska Bill, and all its atten-
dant infamy.
If you fail 10 vote, you virtually en-
dorse the Mi eouri r%ufians, who with
armed hands drive freemen from the bal
lot box ; who pass laws, which making
it a penal crime to utter or write one
word in favor of making Kansas a free
State.
II you fail 10 vote, you endorse the
Fugitive Slave Law.
If you fail to vote. you fail to give
moral support to the Republican mem
bers Of Congress, who were elected by
your votes, last fall.
II you fail 10 vote, you virtually aid
in continuing the burden of taxation,
which is grinoing this State in the dust.
Remember that The issue between the
Republican and Democratic parties, is
fairly ana lGiiy made; extensions Of slave
~, Oh the onehand and its limitation
on the other. There is no longer a doubt
on this subject. Read the following from
the Ironton Times, a full blooded Demo
cratic paper, OF Southern Ohio. speaking
of the doughfacrd Shannon's avowed
slavery sentiment.
''Does not the heart of every true
Democrat IN the State of Ohio sink with
in him to hear this dastardly man, VIII
son Shannon, proclaim his avidity to ex-
ecute the DEGREES of the infamous rang
of missouri Regulators that has con.
troll of affairs il Kansas. This NANTES
TO of Governor Shannon, will loo c the
Democratic cause thousands OF votes at
the coming election in this State. Pres
ident Pierce, from the day that he sold
himself to slavery pr~opaganiists, until
this last step of degradation and perfdy,
has been continually going from bad to
worse. Every step seems 10 be a blum
der. Until there is a general repudia-
ton by The Democracy of the conduct Of
the National Administrator in this Kan
sas business, we shall find ourselves
weighed down and poweriess to do good.
Remember, that Passmore Williamson,
a free man, in the free State of Pennsyl-
vania, is this dag ncarcerated in a prison,
for daring 70 tell a roman that in a free
State, she was free.
Remember, that a triumph for MediH,
will be a triumph fol Slave Propsgan-
dists-that a defeat of Salmon P. Chase,
would be hailed with shouts by Southern
Slave Drivers, and Missouri cut throats,
as the decision of Ohio in favor of Sla-
veIy.
Remember, that if a pro slavery
house CT Representatives is elected in III 5
State, there will be another doughface
Senator like Pugh, TO m srepreseat as in
the Sslate Of tie Intel States.
If every voter in Ibis Stase faithfully I
performs hisduty, a glo ious victory will
crown their efforts, and our Representa-
tives in the next Congress, can stand il
lis hafs viii the proud consciousness,
that they arc sustained by gheir State.
