VOTERS OF THE NINTH DGsTR1cT-Bear in
mind, that Col. Dewitt absolutely declined nom
nation for reelection to Congress, and then,
when his friends, who had twice generously sus-
tanned him for Representative, and without whose
vote he never could have been elected, had made
another nomination, he turns about upon them,
and takes the field in opposition to their candi.
date, and thus, to extent, imperils the cleo
ton of an Anti Slavery man, and plays into the
hands Of the Buchanan party A case so dis
honorable and ungratefulcan scarcely find its par
allel. The only apology he has attempted to make
for it, is that the Americans were not fairly treat
ed by the Republicans of this district. If this
were SO, Col DeWitts, owing equal obligations to
each, should nave been the last of all men, to in.
terfere in the matter. 1t was not his Office, nor
his place, to interfere between them, especially as
he still stands as the joint representative of them
both in Congress, till the expiration of the term
for which he was chosen

Voters. Beware of Erand.

Spurious tickets have been secretely prepared
by the Americans, with the name of George w
Richardson, the American Candidate for Sheriff,
substituted instead of the name of John S. C.
Knowlton, the Republican Candidate, and with
the name of John S. c. Knowlton printed as Can
didate for Congress, instead of the name of Eli
Thayer, the Republican Candidate
The name of Ichabod Washburn, true Re
publican, has also been placed on the American
ticket for Senator, instead Of George NJ. Rice, de
clined, without the knowledge and against thu
consent of Mr.. Washburn, who protests against
this trick in the following language:
SIT is true that have been requested to ac-
cept such nomination. 1 at once declined,
stating that under the present political affairs OF
the two parties, could not for a moment enter.
tain such proposition
Spurious Republican tickets are also printed
with the name OF Elijah B. Stoddard as Candidate
for District Attorney, instead of that of P Emory
Aldrich, and the name of D. F. Parmenter as Can
didate for County Commissioner, instead of that
OF James Allen. All of these tickets described
above, are printed upon thick paper and headed
Republican Ticket" and they are all spurious.
No doubt other Frauds will be attempted-Be-
ware of them all.

Governor Gardner,

| We hope and trust that no member ofthe Re
publican Peoples party feels under any obliga
ton, in consequence of any action of his party
either expressed or implied to vote for Governor
Gardner tomorrow The action of the party in
its State convention bound the members as party
not to make any nominations against the Gard :
ner State ticket but it did not bind. and could
not bind any of the party, not to vote for
any other set of candidates in whose capacity and
integrity he could place greater confidence than
in that which has ruled the State for the last two
years.
Undoubtedly, Gov. Gardner is to be re elected
for another term, but for the sake of Massachu-
sets, and the honor of the Republican party, let
it be by small a vote IS possible and let as
many men in the Republican party, as conscien-
tiously can do so, either refrain from voting or
else cast their votes for some good and true man,
so that in after years, when the history of these
times shall be written and the corrupt and dis
graceful Vaccinations of the present executive to
secure the reins of government inhis own hands
for another term shall be discussed eachman of u.s.
may be able to say. to his neighbors his friends,

Philadelphia, oct. 20, 1856.
To the Chairman of the Meeting at Faneuil
Hall:
Sir: l cannot be at Faneuil Hall on Sat

with which l have been honored. But,
though feeble STILL hope TO be in Boston on
the succeeding Tuesday to vote. II not strong
enough TO speak, trust at least TO be able 10
perform this duty of the citizen
MY vote will not be needed bnt am UNI
Wiling that the opportunity should pas of
utterlng my determined NO against the efforts
now making to subiugate Kanzas, and to in
stall the slave oligarohy in the permanent
control OF the National Government. Against
this dreadful conspiracy, protest, with all
the ardor of my soul and l know no wav
IN which l can hope to make this protest
Immediately effective, except by casting my
vote for those candidates who are OPENLY and
unequvocally hostile to the contamination of
the crime.
Especially shall vote for Burlingame, and
l shall do this, not merely because l think
him worthy of honor and admire his gem
erousnature, intrepidity and eoquence but
because have at heart the good name of Bos
ton and the welfare of my country Boston
should sustain Burlingame not merely for his
sake, but Tor her own sake; not merely to
do him honor, but to save herself from dis,
honor; not merely from local pride, but to
strengthen liberty and to serve the whole Re-
public now endangered alike from criminal
audacity and from subservient timidity.

LYING.-We print in another place state.
ment relative to certain lying reports which have
been published in the Worcester Transcyipt, con.
corning conversations which occurred at confer.
ence between the Republican and American
county committees. We need not add anything
to Mr.. Hoar's statement of facts, which will not
be disputed or doubted here in Worcester. But
we may remind our readers that these attempts
to put down men of the Republican party BY ~
ing, is one which has been very extensively prac.
ticed this year, in all parts of the country. If
Col. Fremont fails to be chosen, one principal
cause of his defeat will be the andacious lies cir.
culated concerning him, mainly by men who have
had their natural propensity for falsehood stimu-
lated by the hot house operations Of Know Moth
ing councils, into vigorous activity The men
here who are circulating ialsehoods about the Re.
publicans, have been brought up in the same
school, and though forced by popular pressure TO
support Fremont, they would not hesitate to ioin
in the cry against him, if their interests should
lead in that direction. These fellows can tell
great many lies between this time and the dav
of election, and we caution our readers to beware
ofgiying creditto any statements injurious to the
Republican ticket from such corrupt and SANDER.
Gus sources. All our frienns now have to do ia
to press to the contest disregarding the tricks
of the enemy Keep at work until Tuesday
night, and Worcester county and the Ninth Dis.
trict will show a clean and wholesome record TO
the other parts Of she State.

Anopted Citizens.

A trap has been prepared for you, to induce you
to vote for Know Nothing candidate for Sheriff,
District Attorney, and Member of Congress-
You will see votes at the polls, printed expressly
for the purpose of deceir1g you, headed " Demo-
CRATIC TICKET" sometimes, and sometimes with
no head at ALL bearing the name of Alexander
Dewitt for Congress, Geo. W. Richardson for
Sheriff, and Elijah B. Stoddard for District At
torney, all of -aohoma, are on the regular K,,oto
Nothing ticket. Unless you wish to sustain a
party, the cardinal principle Of which, is hostility
to foreigners, you will not aid in the work OF
electing Know Nothings to office.
