A CHEERING MOvEMESr.

CHEERING MOVEMENT.
The only hope of the Border Rufians in the
coming contest is in the dioisioa Of The Anti.
Administration forces. The last State elections
show that in every Free State the opponents OF
the Administration are greatly in the majority
We have never doubted for moment that
the mighty Importance Of union Of these
forces, would bring all together before the day
Of election. The only obstacle to such union,
could be looked for only in the great cities
where Southern trade is potent But the Re.
publican movement is too Strcng for even this
influence. The New York Filmors National

clares for FREMONT and DAYTON At a meet

which its candidates are to be guided, if sue

American Organization, and thereby absOlved
US from the support of its nominees.

lately held at Philadelphia have enunciated
the doctrine of the last resolution, and placed 10
nomination candidates who abide by its indy

the nominees Of that Convention fol the offices
for which they are named, and will hereafter
contend for the principles OF Americans and
freemen, in the elevation Of Fremont and Day
ton.
ResolUed, That the name of our Club may
accord with the intention Ofour present organ

American Republican National Club
And so it will be all over the Free North J.
