Secret Circular.
Black Republioanism has strong annuity
for secresy and deception. 1t fears open
daylight, clear field and a fair fight, and its
hone for success rests upon duphcity, trckery
and corruption. In accordance with their
system of tactics, the Fremont State Central
Committee have had printed circular, true
COPY Of which is annexed, which they in
tend to send to all the various Black Re-
publican clubs and committees throughout
the State, suggesting plan of operations Tor
their friends to pursue.
To prove that the Democracy have no So
cret or unjust designs in the coming election,
we give the FREMoNT circular just as it IS
We desire that every Democrat should read
il. every honest man, whatever may be his
political predictions, and then judge for
himself of the character of the party which
opposes us. Look at the instructions in re-
gard to tickets-'they ought to Se printed on
paper of the same appearances and color used 6y
The Old Liners" Why the necessity of this
instruction all over the State, unless duplicity
and fraud are intended ? If they had any
hope of carrying the election by fair means,
why the necessity Of this trickery?
The Fremont State Committee are not
advised that the old liners are making efforts
IN bring voters from Kentucky and adjoining
States for the purpose of carrying the State
election 1t sonly by importing votes that
black republicanism can succeed in this State.
And this caution to watch Old liners is simply
a suggestion to the FREMONT Clubs and COM
mittees throughout the State to make arrange
ments in time to import votes. 1t is by this
fraud and By the removal of votes from one
mart of the State to the other, that black re-
pubIicanism hopes to triumph.
We trust every Democrat in the State viii
be on his guard. From this time out there
must be unceasing vigilance and activity
The enemy must be watched and all tbe
wicked schemes must be foiled. The good
advice in this circular we hope our friends
will improve upon.
Let there be Democratic meetings and
speeches in every township in the State the
week previous to the election. See the
doubtful, reason with them and give then
proper documents-let no illegal votes be
put into the ballot box-vote early-see tina
our friends go to the polls-and let no maj
be inundated from voting by threats of any
kind. In word 1--WE must all work." and i
every Democrat does his duty a triumph
awaits us that will give a final quietus tC
black repablicanism. But read and profit by
the following
SECRET CIRCULAR:
PEOPLES STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE RooNs,}
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 20, 1856. !
GENTLEMEN - That the opposition to the

beyond all reasonable doubt. The only ques

trolling our elections. Let no illegal uote be pa
into the baIIot-boE.
