The Coming Election.

We wish again to remind Democrats Of
the near approach of our State Election,
and of the necessity that exists for the pres
ence of every Democratic voter at the
polls on. election day. The present pros
pect for the success of our ticket is good,
provided that Democrats all 60 to the
polls, and vote; otherwise, there is great
danger that at least portion of our ticket
will be defeated
Two years ago, by the very criminal ne
glect of the Democracy of this county, and
of the State, the Republicans elected their
Governor, Treasurer, and Prison Commits
soner, by majorities under two hundred,
while in Manitowoc county alone five hun
dred democrats did not vote at that cleo
ton at all. Had one-half of those five
hundred performed their duty that day, the
whole Democratic State Ticket would have
been triumphantly elected, and by the de-
feat of RANDALL for Governor the people
of the State would have been spared the
heavy burden of taxation which has op-
pressed them SO grievously for the past two
years, and would also have been spared
the modification Of seeing the State Treas
ury, under Mr.. HASTINGS, turned into
Brokers Shop, for the purpose of shaving
the people with their own money.
Let the unfortunate consequences Of past
neglect be warning to the Democracy in
the present crisis, and induce epcry Demo-
crat who loves his principles to do his
whole duty on the Sth of November next,
and let us wipe out the reproach that at
taches to the Democracy Of this county for
past neglect.

for the men. They were taken on shore

FOR bis name. Upon being told that it was
Wo-eton Melee, he broke forth in the most
bitter denuneiation of Melee as Pre-, Slavery
man in Kansas. McGee was forthwith dis
charged. MCGEE then went out in pursuit of
Cook, and brought in many of the captured
arms, &c.
Like Coppie' aud Stevens, Brown had no
apologies to make, but justified his conduct
from the beginning TO the end.
The Governor asked Brown if they had taken
the Government money. He replied, with In
dirnation, that money was not his object. He
had no object but to take slaves from their mas
ters; they had money in abundance; and
though they searched passenger in the train
for arms, who had in his possession $4,000,
they di5 not modest the money.
Tie letters found on Browns farm showed
mat the insurgents were in the receipt of money
from other parties. Browns manner TO Gov.
Wise was most dignifed and respectful. He
claimed equality as to character and motive,
AID complained throuehout Of the treatment
visited upon him-that while humanity had gov
erned his own conduct towards his prisoners,
he had been treated as a rulian and brute.

A CARD.

While coming to this city, on Saturday,

captured at Harper's Ferry refused, in the
presence Of Seaator Mason and Messrs. Faux
ner and Valiandigham, TO answer the question,
whether he had consulted Mr. Giddings about
his Virginia expedition"
IL is evident that the object of these gentle
men was not 10 obtain facts on which to predi
cate charge Of crime, or of any immoral or
dishonorable act. Had such been their object,
they would not have published what was not

the country knows, that any question you may
PROFOUND 10 me touching the Government, its
past or present position, will be frankly prompt
Is and fully answered, TO the extent Of my
knowledge and belief; aud / pronounce this
attempt to asssil me dishonorable, unworthy of
your positions, unworthy of honorable men.
But you must not expect to escape the re-
accessibility Of your own conduct by thus as
sailing one who has for years cautioned you Of
tie results that must follow the efforts Of your.
selves and party to extend Slavery, and your
determined purpose to involve the people of the
free States In the disgrace and crime Of sup
porting an institution which all honest and in.
dependent men of those states repudiate. No
man Of our nation has done more than one of
you to produce the results which have recently
attracted the attention of the people. They are
The immediate aud unmistakable effects Of the
efforts OF yourselves and party to establish Sla-
very in Kansas. Murderers there were re-
waried by Executive appointments to Office.
Browns sons were the victims OF that despotism
which your party exerted in favor Of an insti
tuition which the people abhorred.
These facts do not rest upon suspicion, nor
Oh the refusal of victim to answer any ques.
ton. They rest upon the records and the his
tory of The Government itself No evasion, no
: rg;versation, can change the enduring truths
TO which refer. And you would better SUBJ
serve the public good by exerting your inhu-
ssce and occupying your time in correcting the
evils you and your party have brought upon the
country, than by vain Efforts to involve others
in the crimes which you and your associates
have committed.
