DEAR SIR: 1t il we'll known that in this and
other slaveholding States. the contest fsr the
Presidency is not 50 close - TO require ct our
hands unusual or extraordinary ezefdons.
With Us but few sacrifices Of money ~ Of 81

iu the non slaveholdng Staaas il il very differ
snt. The battle ground for the preservation
Of the Constitution and for tn ploteetioA Of
our rights is not % much - - the non slsve-
y-oldiny States. There the COMMON enemy
IS being met, and there. fiat all, he must be
vauquishsd. The Democrats Of that portion
OF the Union are maintaining our rights aad
defending our interests az we'll IS their own.
under a common Constitution. With nobse
fidelity. and with spirit. and undsr sacrifices
Of time and money; which call MOI only Tor
warmast gratitude but for substantial aid.
We have informstion from 4 most reliable
source-the National Democratic Executive
Committee at Washi2gton--thatt the Black Re
publicans are resorting to every possible means
to carry the non slavSholding Staxss, and es
pecially the State Of Pennsylvania Large
sums Of money are being raised and expend-
ed BY them in various ways to- influence the
elections. and the effects Of this are to be seen
in the late result in Maine. Flushed with
their victory in that State, they now con
centrating their efforts on Pennsylvania, New
Hamps hire, and other States. They must be
met and defeated. Pennsylvania mast be sac

the calamities likely to result from the elee.
ton of Fremont; it is enough for US to know
that our Northern friends regard the cause as
more or less in peril. and call US, through
tie National Executive Committee for aid
We appeal to you, therefore. as q Democrat
and a patriot. to contribute torfh,oiM schater-
sr amount IF money you can. and raise what
you can from others, to be forwarded 10 the
National Executive Cemmtnee at IIashiagtoa.
Whatever is done should be done quickly
The money, we feel confident, from cur knowl-
edge Of the Committee, viii be used proper

among tho Northern people. as 10 effect the
most good for the cause. Send whatever
amount you may raise, to Hon. l.. o. B.
Branch, Raleigh. who will take pleasure in
forwarding the same to the Committee.
Our all, as people. is at stake in this con
test. Our Democratic friends IN the Free
States are fighting oar battle far as. Our
enemies, embracing much Of the wealth OF
the non -slaveholding States, are using large
sums of money in the hope of elesting Free
mont. and thus obtaining possession of the
Government. Let us. then. contribute liber-
ally of our means. counting money as cbaff,
when our rights. our liberties, our very safe
ty, and the Constitution and the Union, are
to be defended and preserved.
We need hardly add that this communica-
ton, it is hoped. will be considered IS strictly
confidential. and by no means to be made
public Not because Of any unwillingness
on our part to meet the responsibility OF this
moment, but for the reason that it might be
used to the prejudice Of our friends abroad
By all means give this your immediate atten
