OLUME XlI-NUMBER 80.
Hon. Samuel II. VALLEY in favor of
Fremont and Dayton. !. fl

bury Is manly anu aole document-the
outspoken sentiments OF one who stood well
for Freedom while in Congress; who op-
posed, with all his power, the iniquitous Ne
bnska bill and who, in this hour Of our
country's danger, without abating angbt OF
political principle, scan only sGiiyys con.
science BY rotiry for Fremont and Dayfon."
Every true patriot will respect such a deter
mination. A political opponent. If not win.
dictive, will respect 1t. And there arc
thousands Of men in the community who
will take a like position. The considera-
tions Of duty are above all others with them,
and when tho ith of November comes, they
will be found in no equivocal position; but
enlisted in the peoples cause-6ghting
peaceful battle at the ballot box--by their
votes doing what they can to put down the
despotism which Is overthrowing the liber-
ties Of the country. The letter reads;-
