Next fussaay.

Next Tuesday, and fsr one Day only, ~
and Exeestive powers Of ~
State devolve upoA u people. They -
sumo these important fnnctions for one day
only, and they then delegate their trust 70
their agents for two years. Tho Importance
then, Of selecting good and true men to ex-
ercise the powers % delegated, cannot be
over-estimated. With the merits of the can
didates for the respective Offices to be filed,
and with the principles proclaimed for their
guidance, we presume the people are already
sufficiently acquainted, and have probably
made up their minds which way, and for
whom, their SURFACES shall be cast. This
is the case to great degree almost uni-
versally SO. OF course, there are . few
and sorry are we to say it-who have not
yet made up their minds--no, not that, 'ei-
ther, their minds have not been made up for
them-as to who shall nominally receive
their SURFACES. To that class, Of course it
were worse than useless to appeal-they can
only be reached, on the day Of election, BY
an application of the ardenA To such we
have not word to say--no word Of ours
would influence them IN iota-- no amount
of reasoning would convince them that it
was their duty as freemen to cast their votes
in accordance with certain well-defned prin-
ciple. They are but machines, under the
control of self constituted directors, and it
were useless to attempt different mode Of
operating them.
As we said before, almost every man has
his mind made up as to whom he thinks
most capable of filling the Offices to which
the several candidates aspire, and while we
have not word to say to such upon the way
they shall exercise their Notwithstanding
all intention of dictation-we earnestly urge
it upon every voter opposed to the extension
of Slavery, to remember that the election
takes place NEXT TUESDAY, the 18th Of
October. Is is duty they owe to HEM
selves and to their country, to remember
and be on hand at the polls and when there
don't forget that every vote cast fer the
Democratic nominees is, and will be cansid-
cred vote for the naturalization Of Slave
ny, and full and unqualified Enforcement
of the present National Administration, the
bred Scott decision and all. Remember!
that every vote cast for Pussy and CASSIDY,
counts TWO towards the continuance in Of
fee of that political mountebank, G. W.
JONES, who has misrepresented the people
of Iowa in the United States Senate during
the past four years. Remember! that every
vote cast for these men will be considered
as a protest against the establishment Of
banks of issue. These are not assertions,
but facts!-they should be remembered and
not lost sight of. REPUBLICANS! itbehooves
you to be on the alert-to see that every
Republican voter is at the polls. Do not
let this election 60 by default, either thro'
apathy or neglect. Success is within our
reach-we have but to use our best efforts and
victory will perch upon our banner. We
have candidates every worthy our confidence
and support, and every person having the
the success of our cause at heart, should be
at the polls early, and work manfully for
their election. See to it, Tia: you have up
on your ballots the names of LOWE, FAvILLE,
STREET and DESYsoS. ~.
