"now or ncyerl" Know Nothingism has
never been known to triumph in second
contest. Ii is a party Of a day--a sort Of
fungi, or mushroom growth Let there be

beat us last year-let Us beat item this year;
and when once defeated, their power is gone
and they are destroyed forever.
Senator and Aascmbly1nenl
We must elect one Senator and two Assem-
blymcn, because we would save the State
from Know Nothing misrule-because we
wonld prevent Appropriations, (according to
X. N. authority Of over TWO MILLIONS

steel to stocl!p Come in whatever shape, or
in whatever disguise, or in whatever number,

They viii Lie about Our Candidates.
The Know Nothings, Just on he Eee Of
Eleetien, viii circulate ALL SORTS OF
LIES AND ISLANDERS against the

come out on election day with their slanderous
and groundless reports.

little good seed was left, and it has grown
and multiplied until they viii now be able to
hold the eproscriptiye party at least on lev

close, they will work Ike Troians as they are,
