An Won Alixe3

Republicans do you intend to remain
inactive, and suffer black democracy to
crow over your reduced majorities, and
the success of the brood of lies and
Misrepresentation which the Slave
party is scattering all over the country?
Or are you up and doing, and at work
to roll up majority for the entire tick
ct, such as shall crush out forever in
this State the liars who do the dirty
work of the devil and his spouse, the
Slave power? See to it that every Re
publican is at the polls. And let the
war cry be, Republican principles re-
q1ire a full and clean ballot this fall.
az REMEMBER "LECOMPT-
ON" and hit his sinking carcass
another kick on election day.
REMEMBER DRIED SCOTT
DECISION, and show the Slave power
that in this State freedom is national ;
on election day!
RE NIB Err THE REPEAL
OF THE COMPROMISE, and hang
the supporters of the repeal higher
than Hannah on election day.
REMEMBER THE DEBT AND
CONSEQUENT HEAVY TAXA
TION, bequeathed By the locofoco
party in this State, and help sink their
ticket beneath 10000 majority on cleo
ton day!
REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE
FREE MEN AND REPUBLICANS,
and not slaves to the slave oligarchy /;
on election day.
Remember the entire capital of the
slave party in this State is falsehood
and attempted ridicule of the .Republi-
can party and its principles.
Remember that your vote is expected
if you are able to be off your bed, on
election day.
Remember that no Republican will
trade off his vote or be caught by any
of the frauds and tricks of the enemy,
on election day.
Remember that the Representatives
and Senator's to the State Legislature,
are to choosea z. s. Senator this aoiya-
ter at Lansing, and that the Slave
power are moving earth, and their des-
tined tropical home hereafter, to secure
a Slave Senator from Michigan.
Remember that the neat House OF
Representatives IN Congress may be
lost to the Republicans by the Toss OF
one member Of Congress, and give
HENRY WALDRON your Individual
support. @
Renaena6e, yo,s. oscas dignity as men
and be not fooled to vote for any man
on the slave ticket. Republicans vote
for principles. On to the battle and
VICTORY IS OURS !-Adrian Ee-
position.

Republicans be ON your Guard !

5 Your enemy is at his old tricks
FALSEHOOD is his argument !! The
friends of Joel III. Smith are promising
Republicans that if they will vote for
him he will give his patronage to this
paper. This is FALSE. Every one
who is at all acquainted with Mr..
Smith knows him to be one of the most
bitter partizans in the whole county.
He would not give one cents worth of
patronage to this Office, even if he
could, and being stock holder in the
National Democrat, he could not if
he would. Again we say LOOK OUT
FOR THEM. All manner of LIES
viii be promulgated by them until after
election. There is no reason why Re
publicans should trade off. Every man
on the ticket is worthy of your entire
support. Shall they have it? Did
the locos ever offer to trade with you
when they were in the majority! NO!
Then why should Republicans consent
to be gulled by them now. They well
know that unless they get Republicans
to vote for them they stand no chance
of being elected. So they nominated
two or three candidates for the pur-
pose of trading them off for Sheriff,
and Prosecuting Attorney. Republi-
cans of Cass County, BEWARE the
FALSEHOODS of your enemies.

Republicans don't split your ticket !!
Vote clean, unspotted ballot. Don't
allow yourself to be influenced to vote
for any candidate on the opposition
ticket, from sympathy, or any other
cause. VOTE A CLEAN REPUB-
LICAN TICKET. e,e sa3 eaia 4

@ +. r. Stebbins, editor of the
Michigan Eapositor, who was can
didate for Register of Deeds for Lena
wee Co., but was defeated in Conyen-
ton, gives the following good advice
to defeated candidates who may feel
sore at not receiving nomination:
One wrong will not be remedied by
another. A defeated candidate who
will forsake his party, or falter in his
labors, shows that he has no governing
principle but that of self interest. He
may be grossly wronged, in his defeat,
and feel keenly the wrong; but if a
true man, the vibrations of the shock
will soon cease, and true to the mag
netic pole of unwaving principle, he
shows his worth by the same devoted
action as before. ..l -.
Permit us then as one of the illus
trious number of defeated candidates,
whose unceasing labors seem not to
have been appreciated, and the number
IS not few, to call upon our associates
to again buckle on the old harness,
without which all of us who are true
men would feel lost, and work on more
than ever determined to wage this war
against the slave party, not to the
bitter end" but to the glorious end,
when, as sure as there is God of truth
and mercy, we shall save this land of
kogzSI for free1Eeaa, and not for slacery.
Let others falter if they will. Let a
few weak minds who were with us for
time but for Office, which not securing
sthcy return to the ten times filthier mire
of Lecompton Democracy from which
they came when it was comparatively
pure to what it now is, 60 back and
be democrats, if they please: the PEG
PLE-the bone and sinew of the nation
are coming to as from the north, and
the east and the west; and even the
South begins to catch the rosy blessed
beams of the rising sun of liberty an6
free labor, and is shaking off the .blacl
poll which so thick settles over be-
fertile fields and sunny homes.

Are You Ready?

Before another issue of our paper,
the contest will be decided, and how
that contest will terminate is not a
very hard matter to conjecture. The
Democracy of this State expect moth
ing, and they will not be disappointed.
But we now wish to press upon our
readers the fact that the great object of
the party is not to elevate men, but to
sustain principles. We therefore ap-
peal to the Republican voters of the
county to support the regular nomina-
tons of the party. Victory achieved
upon this basis is substantial victory.
1t endorses our principles while it Sc
cures us the agents to carry them out.
The Detroit Tribune, speaking on
this subject says: We desire to
impress upon each of our read
ers the importance of his individ-
ual vote. A man is too apt to
think that it don't make much differ
ence if he does not vote; but how shall
he know that fifty or q hundred men
have not come to the same conclusion,
and that through their remissness the
ticket Twill suffer defeat. How highly
we prize the abstract privilege of the
vote, and shall we not perform the
simple act of casting it especially in
the support of principles which lie
deep in our convictions. One vote, OF
twenty votes, might make but little
difference in the election of the State
ticket, but it might defeat a county
officer or member Of the Legislature
and give the opposition an advantage
which they conld not otherwise gain.
No Republican in the State desires to
be responsible for the defeat of his
party, and yet simple act of negli
gence may attach that responsibility tc
him. Let cyery man votet =
Do not let any circumstanccdisco
age you from going to- the polls and
voting the Republican ticket. The
State will be flooded with all sorts Of
llocofoco roorbacks, set afoat ON the
eve of election, too late for their refu-
Itation to reach you, and these are
specially designed to act upon youl
mind just as you are goingto the polls
These charges against the Republic
can Administration are generally ant
specially untrue. Those hitherto pub
lished have been abundantly refuted
and those lately issued are still mor'
mendacious, and are purposely sent gu
to late for refutation to follow them
Don't be influenced by these locofoc,
lies. Remember that we deal with al
Inscriptions and nutiring foe; fighting
for existence itself; and it behoove,
our friends everywhere to see TO it tina
they neglect nothing which they ma,
legally and honorably do that promise
to ensure success. Let every RepuBh
can go to the polls, rain or shine!.I b

Flkc,s Peak-Latest Arrival from the
Mlnes-Fine Specimens of Gold
From the Leavenworth journal of
the 18th, we learn that Mr.. Phillip
Peers, gentleman who had been in
the Rocky Mountains for the last four
years, has just arrived in that city, di-
rect from the Pixies Peak mines.
bringing with him fine specimens OF
gold obtained in the digginrs. Mr..
Peers corroborates the statements VIC
have heretofore published, and brings
with him incontestible evidence of the
"preciotls metals in that region.
The richest digginsn vet discoy-
cred are on the South Platte, about
three miles above Cherry Greek. The
surface of the country at this point is
rolling prairie.
The miners informed Mr.. Peers that
that they were making from three to
four dollars per day. They were not,
however, devoting much attention to
mining, but were preparing for winter.
1t was the intention of portion OF
them to retire into the valley some
sixty miles below the mines, and re-
main there till spring. They were
generally very well provided. i'
: Snow had fallen on the mountains
before Mr.. Peers left.
q The miners are sanguine that the
mines viii pay. 1t beliveed that they
arc as rich as the California mines.
The gold in the possession of oul
informant is very fine-twenty two
carets, we should think, and his expe
rience in the California mines, and ia
miliarity with the production justifie.
the conclusion.
Quite large number of emigrant.
were met on the way, destined for the
gold region. Mr.. Peers thinks it il
too late in the season to venture there
but expresses entire confidence In th,
mines.-.&. Louis Democrat. 3e eaE

and Slavery.
It is an indisputable fact that Sham
Democracy and Slavery are dependent
upon each other for their existence.
Divorce them, and death would ensue
as quickly as though the Surgeons
knife should sever the artery which
unites the Siamese twins. Democracy
has made every concession demanded
by Slavery, and as a q,sid pro. quo has
received the support of slavery. In
no other way could the two have
been kept Empower. Nominally, James
Buchanan, protested Democrat, is
President, but in fact he is the tool of
those only who care only to extend and
fortify the Slave power. These are not
random assertions, and we fortify them
by the following from the "Richmond
South" an acknowledged Democratic
organ:
"From the days of Washington and
Jefferson dozen to the present period, it
was the policy of the Federal Govern
ment. to repress and restrict the erpd'a-
sion of Slavery. In 1855, the current
of Legislation soas reversed, and by the
passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill,
the Ordinance of 1887 and the Mis-
souri, restriction were repudiated, as the
prejudices of an absolete age. From
the reign of Marshall to the succession
of fancy, the South regarded the Su-
preme Court with distrlst and HOSTILE
ty |; but the bred Scott decision e.clti65fs
that ancient citadel Of federalism AS
THE CHAMPION OF STATE
RIGHTS AND SLAVERY. From
it's organization till the Baltimore Con-
vention in 1852, the Democratic party,
albeit THE ONLY RELIANCE OF
THE SOUTH, was compelled to OBJ
serve a significant silence in respect to
Slavery. Then, for the first time It
PLEDGED ITSELF DISTINCTLY
AND DECIDEDLY, TO THE SUP
PORT OF SOUTHERN RIGHTS,
and by adopting the resolution of 1889,
signalized Its remuneration Of the oil
eguirocdl policy. 1921
"This, then, is the sum of the mat
ter: The Federal Government HAS
RENOUNCED THE POWER-OF
LIMITING THE EXTENTION OF
SLAVERY the South is guarantied
an equal participation in the connin0n
domain by decision of the Supreme
Court, .Savery is protected an tie Red

USURPATiON OF TIE LOCAL

and lastly, by the Judgment of the
same august tribunal, the personal and
political s,sbordinatio,s Of the Negro is
established as a principle Of Anaeyica,a
Jurisprudence. SO much for the Re
dictionary policy IN, favor Of Slavery
and che rights Of the South.
Meanwhile, the public opinion of
the North. as we have already intima-
ted, has worked clear of the old Alb
clifton element, and IS daily becoming
INTERESTS OF SLAVERY. In
fact, the Abolition Party is almost ex-
tinct, and the Black Republican organ

ious principles. so, TOO, IN RE-
