The Election Of the 4th.

FELLOW REPUBLICANS! Fellow
CITIZENS By whatever party creed
in times past you have been known, it
matters not now. There are issues to
be decided At the ballot box next Tues.
day, which have never come up directly
and required of you = decision at any
other campaign. The question of hu.
man Freedom will receive your counte-
nance, ard be aided and strengthened by
your vote, or its antagonist, human Dcs.
potism will receive your sanction. The
struggle between these antagonistic prin-
ciples is to come off on Tuesday. On
which side will you array yourself -
Will you take the side Of the WEAK, the
OPPRESSED, the ToILINo MILLIONS, the
Thousands and tens Of thousands Of free
white men of the whole Union who wish
and ,cia have room and space to work
out the great problem Of free demo-
cratic form of government, untrammeled
and unfettered by negro slavery in the
territories of this great nation ? or will
you make one of that number that will
march into the battle under the disunion
flag Of the Brookses, the Buffers, the
Atchinsons, the Stringfellows, and the
Picrces, led on by the Custom House
officers, the Postmasters and the paid
agents of the most corrupt and disgrace
full administration which this or any
other country that lays any claim to
freedom was ever cursed with: Hon
est Farmers, Mechanics, Traders, Sailors,
who are you for Fremont and Free
dom, or Buchanan and Dcs potism. This
question you will answer at the ballot
box. Surprising that the great body OF
the people, Of all parties. are honest in
their belief, we can only appeal to you
to seriously ponder the questions at issue
so that you may vote intelligently
While bordering these questions, re.
member, that the many thousands o.
office. holders haze an interest in the re.
suit of the election which disqualife.
them from being disinterested. Remem
Der that the men in office, are almost al
ways, or have been SO, when question!
have arisen which effected the rights o
the many, on the side of the privileged
few. The rare instances of men in pow
er, preferring right to power and place
have been those of men of principle ant
patriotism. Such men do not, or have
not received office under this administra
tor or if they have it has been only t.
be turned out again.
Now Freemen, act for your country
Cast your vote for true democratic prin
ciples: Vote on the side of Free Terri
tories, Free Speech, Free Men and Free
laws in Kansas. Vote against the mel
who will threaten poor fishermen tina
they will stop their bounty unless the,
