What say you, reader, whethe Wing, Amcri-

willing 10 assist them in the drtfaI work TO
which all their movements tend, hv giving
your vote to this candidate Of one section of the
Union only, who, If elected, would he bound,
by his promises and pledges 10 these two class
es ot dlSunioniSiS, to ignore the existence of fif-
teen States in the formation of his Cabinet, and
to administer the Government in o5rdience to
the demands of Northern ani-slavpry agitators,
whose preludices have conquered them so com
petely that they would achieve the freedom nf

white race which peoples republican America
This rs momentous question, whose solution is
with the people, in the election now near at
hand. Those who believe that GGoRGE WASH
INGToN spoke lie when he said that the In
ION, which constitutes us one people, was the
main pillar of the liberty which we SO highly
prize, and think it not worth preserving, in
connection Nth slavery, as the Black Rppubl-
cans teach, will vote for JoHN c. FREmoxT.-
Those who have faith in the counscls of the |
Father OF his Country, and cherish the "cordia. !
and immovable attachment" 10 the
Union, which hp advised as sof infnite no

ly man who possesses, in a sufficient degree, the
confidence of the whole country, 10 be able to
restore peace and harmony between the new
hostile sections, and crush the foul spirit of dis
union, for another generation at least.-Read- |
