Richmond enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1815-1867, 1856-10-28
To THE RESCUED

This is the last issue Of the Enquirer that can
reach the distant portions of Virginia. aud We feel it
to be our solemn duty to appeal earnestly to the De-
mocracy and to the conservative patriots who mean
TO act with Us at present for Jhe countrys sake to
lose no, moment in arousinG and organizing the
voters, aud in making all necessary arrangements for
bav,n, a full vote recorded for Buchanan and Brock
inridge at the Presidential election on TUESDAY next
NOVEMBER 4rH Virginia, all admit, is overwhelm
ngly Democratic but this acknowledged fact may
lull our friends into false security, and may induce
great many not to visit the polls, regarding it as un
necessary. But it is the imperative duty Of every
true Vrgiuian to cast his vote at the present vital
crisis and to place the Old Dominion, by sweeping
majority on the side of the Constitution and the
Union. Every Democrat should regard the vote OF
the State as resting his individual vote, and should
take pride and pleasure in recording his ballot for the
erea, cause Let him remember that his vote may BIZ
to crush out Black RepublicaniSm and give
new strength to the Constitution and the Union.
We must also warn our friends against the tricks
and frauds usually practised by our opponents at i'm.
por,snt elections, and never more 90 than by the
steslthy agents of the dark lantern party. Who can
forget the monstrous roorbacks circulated by the
Know. Nohings on the eve of the last gubernatsria
el-ctionl Who can doubt that the genius of Know
No,hngiem, prolific in tricks, is now engaged in con-
eoc,ing batch of fabrcations to mslead the voters
and stite the public voice Indeed we hear on good
authority that in some Of the counties, designing
agents of the arklautern party are already setting
their machinery secretly at work that IN come In
stances, they are circulating report that Buchanan
has Withdrawn. and actually showing letter pro-
fessedy written by him to that effect; aud that tney
are also attempting to induce Democrats TO oehoVe
that the Presidential election will take place on the
fret ITursday in November, instead Of the hrss
Tuesday, November 4th.
To counterfeit these stealthy, mole.like movements
of deception, appeal to the Vigilance Committees
aud active friends, in every county ana precinc'
district go 10 ork at once to inform the voters OF
the truth to furnish them with electoral tickets, and
to nee that they attend the polls We beg leave to
make one further suggestion and do at the re.
quest Of an esteemed correspondent from the coun-
try We call upon every Democrat, and supporter Of
Buchanan and Breckenridge, who will attend the pre-
sent Agricultural Fair in this city, to supply himself
with sufficient quantity Of electoral tickets-givinp
the names of the electors and the day Of the election
and either send or carry them back to his neighbor
hood aud have them distributed broadcast through
on, the S,ate-not one to every voter, but one u
every member Of every family. This will arous
them, will notify them that great day Is at hano
which should be given to their country. Thus VI
shall roll up such majority as Virginia is entitled to
and such as will do honor to the Old Dominion.
Once more, we say to our friends here aud else
where 20 10 nork, aud cease not until the setting
the sun on the 18th November. Let US, one aud all
resolve to leave nothing undone to make Virginia tn
banner State 10 the glorious roll of States for tn
Constitution the equality Of States aud the Union
