There are only two parties in this State
at tho present time. They have their ac-
knowlcd basis upon this great and over

Democracy. This party dare not face it,
and every schcmmg politician, and every
cunning orfcc.holdcr il working, night and
day. with might and main TO wbccllc and
deceive the honest voter. They tell you tho
" Maine law Is the issue" that you will
lose your liquor" " that some old iron has
been sold at discount" &C., Sc. But this
is shameful hypocrisy and deception.
Remember that Liberty is at stake. Re.
member that your postcrity, IL not your.
selves, must rap Liberty or slavery from
your action on Monday next. Itdecilrs the
question whether Maine j. for Fremont and
Freedom, or for buchanan and Slavery. A
