LET EVERY REPUBLICAN DO HIS DUTY.

When the British feet bore up for action
at the commencement of the memorable
battle of Trafalgar, which shivered the ma
val power of France, and put an effectua
extinguisher upon Napoleon's daring
schemes Of universal empire, Lord Nelson
caused to be signalled to his ships thai

even of stranger, like the blast of trum.

Does the Republican Party of Pottawat-
tnmie County and Of Western Iowa, desire
that victory shall perch upon their banners
at the approaching election? There is but
one thing necessary to secure this result
Every Republican resolve to do his duty,
and his whole duty! The day is nigh a,
hand, when Western Iowa will DO called
upon to record its sentiments before the
world at the ballot-box. The Republicans
have a clear majority, here on the "Slope."
Defeat is impossible, if the members Of the
party but do their duty. Therefore, let
every Republican resolve to be active and
vigilant from this time until the polls close
on the llth day of October. There are but
few days left, in which to prepare for the
contest, which is to decide whether Iowa
still remains true to the principles Of Free

party, his country and himself. 1t is every
mans duty to vote-next to that, to see
that his neighbor votes. Bear this in mind.
How the present State canvass has been
conducted by our opponents, is probably
well-known to our readers. SANDER, vitu-
peration, abuse and Misrepresentation, hav e
been the only arguments by which our prin-
ciples have been met, and by which our
candidates have been assailed. Our oppo-
ncnts have become desperate, and in their
desperation, they have resolved to carry
this State this fall, even though it were
found necessary to resort to fraud to &C
compIish that purpose. To this end, the
"outposts are to be strengthened" and
every species Of trickery resorted to. Our
opponents have no hopes of success, but
through the supineuess Of Republicans, and
resort to unprincipled trickery. In view
Of these facts, the duty Of the Republicans
isplain. They must not permit Democrat
activity, mendacity and trickery, to juggle
them out Of victory, at the coming cleo
ton. To this end, it is necessary that each
and every member of the Republican party,
should be on the alert-active and untirins
until tn, contest is over, and the ballot boz
closed. The Republican party expects ever,
man to do his duty!
