He on your Guard.

We have never seen gerater exertions
made in any political canvass than are now
making by the leaders of the democratic
party-especially In the Middle Division of
the State. We have been informed that they
have emissaries out, who have and are vet to
visit every county in this Division They
are beyond all question uneasy as to the re-
suit Of the pending elections, and are leaving
no stone unturned to perpetuate their power
We believe they are now in minority in the
state; but by superior activity hard work,
and sieepless industry, they may be able to
nverwhelm tho 0n,.o-i.;~-, 7. IN uot he
we feel entirely assured, by their own I...-~-1
strength; or the contrary, it will be by in
ferior strength coupled with superior vigi-
lance and management. Wetherefore tell our
friends to be on their guard, and be prepared
to meet them at every point. Let their ef-
forts be met and counteracted by equal per-
severance. They are working and pertecting
their organization secretly, noiselessly. They
have their sentinels in every civil district.
who are quietly operating on the doubtful,
and confirming the wavering. There are
hu ndreds and thousands of honest democrats
who are forced to differ with the leaders on
the bank question, and who, if left to the
sober dictates Of their Judgment, would
vote for the Opposition ticket. 1t is to these
democrats they are directing their attention,
and beguiling with assurances of bank re-
form, merely. The evidence of what are the
true aims of the party, as cherished by the
h., nd
not be as it has not been, disputed. We ask
our friends everywhere to be on the alert,
and see that the true issue is properly placed
before the people. We appeal to them,
in the name of the paramount good of
the country, of all that patriots should hold
dear, TO arouse themselves to che, and thwart
the exertions their adversaries are making.
They have flooded the State with publica-
cations ia pamphlet form, from Carter to
She lby-which, we understand, are filled
with groundless assumptions, and charges
against the Opposition. They have placed
these in the hands of Democrats, who are in
structed to use them quietly and cautiously.
We have never yet seen but two Of these
documents, and cannot tell, except from hear
say, what they contain. We urge our friends,
however, in all parts, on the hill-tops and in
the vallcys, to look well to the turn which
things are taking. Only few days remain
now till the election; therefore, be active, be
vigilant, be persevering and industrious.
Bring the entire vote of the Opposition to
the polls, and we have no fears for The re-
