Washington has been tho seat Of political
juggling full long enough. It becomes all
true citizens to set themselves earnestly q,
work to institute new order Of things.

GIVE know that thousands are opening
eyes to the false lights with which they have
been led along. and to all Of these our qucs-
ton is a patient one: How will you vote in
Novembcry Are you satisfied with the pres
ent order Of things, or will you help to insti-
tute another and better state?
The voices Of the three States which have
lately spoken, render it impossible that Bell
canba elected; and considering that the Union
committee have baSely sold out the party to
support princi ,lcs which are not its own.
how are you, friends Of the Union party, who
cannot approve Of this. how are you to vote
in the next election?
d Can any throw away their vote, and thus
discharge their duty? Rather let them swell
the majority which is now certain for Lin
coln-thc man Of the people and the honest
politician - - .
His election is conceded already; but let
all who wish to see politics brought back to
the standard Of an earlier day. help to in
crease this majority, that it may come with
power that none can resist, and institute a
new era in our history.
The Republican party is the only true ma
tional party in the field 1t does not pro-
pose to deal with Slavery bv force, or to in
terfcre with it where it exists by law; but
the party trusts that when the principles
upon which the Government was founded
are honestly carried out, that then Slavery
will lose its Importance as a political power.
No man in his nseibelieves for moment
that hostility to the South is feature in our
platform. Thousands upon thousands at the
South know that this is not the case, and in
their hearts desire to see Mr.. Lincoln elected
yet they are powerless themselves in securing
this result, and we Of the North alone must
do the work.
Let those Of all parties who wish to see the
Union of these States preserved, and the
whole country redeemed from the power Of
men who possess not one spark If patriotism
ali who wish to see new life infused into
politics-all who feel interested in the devel-
opement Of our unbounded rcsources-all
who wish to see sectional feeling abated, and
the whole powers Of the Government turned
into new channels, and allowed to work out
side Of partisan bounds let all such unite
their fortunes with the party of the people.
= The masses are awake everywhere-a new
era is dawning which will bring domestic
peace and prosperity to all our borders
Truly, themorning cometh." '..
In view Of these things we ask again, How
will you vote ?-Cincinnati Gazette.
