ARE YOU READY

IN less than two weeks the voters of the
United States will be called upon to choose
. chief magistrate to administer the exc
cutivs affairs Of our Government for four
years from the 4th of March next. And
as this will be the last number of The
REGISTER that will reach many Of our
readers before they will have performed
their part in this great moral contest we
will briefly present the doctrines held by
the two most prominent candidates, and
ask our readers to ponder we'll the facts,
and decide deliberately between the men.
The Republican party have. through
their leaders, declared war against the
Union as established by cur Fathers
They have declared that this government
cannot exist half slave and half free :"
that the work Of discord must 90 on and
domestic slavery DO extinguished at any
cost. This government was good enough
for WAsHIEGToN, HANCOCK, FRANKLIN,
ADAMS, JEFFERSON, MARSHALL, ana lots
OF other worthless, but it stinks in the
no'trils OF cur anti slavery agtatorg-ora.
sles OF Rspublicanism-who declare that
the times demand an anti-Slavery Con-
shtution, an anti Slavery Bible, and an
anti~slavery God They tell us that
there is an irrepressble conaic, going on
in this country that must end in the over
throw Of the institutions in one or the
other half Of this eoufederacy, and make
the States Of the Union "all slave or all
free"
This irrepressible conflict was not urs-
ed by our fathers. 1t has been fostered
and~ nursed in the hot-bed of fans;icism
and sectional hate-urged on By party
revenge and love Of Office, these agitators
have turned their backs upon their own
race, and their own solemn constitutional
compacts, and at the peril of their own
peace aud the happiness of their posters
ty, have fallen down to worship the false
abstraction Of negro equality )" and this
simply to secure paltry personal and po
hsical triumph. These men, Republicans
all-represent party, now seeking to
gain control Of this government party
which has been nurtured into strength in
order to abolitionEe this government, and
if successful in electing LINCOLN they
must either speedily eolaspo or attack the
domestic rights Of the States; if they
mean what they say there is no othe.
choice
Opposed 10 this m onstrous policy stands
the conservative, patriotic Democratic par
ty; party loyal to the Constitution and
the Union as our fathers formed ana left
them; party satisfied with American
liberty as it exists which recognizes the
right and the propriety of this govern
ment permitting local and domestic affairs
to be managed by local and domestic au-
thcrity, which regulates all Intervention
BY Congress in the States and Territories :;
which demands that this odious agitation
threatening the welfare of our Union,
shall cease! which demands that traitors
10 their country return to their allegiance
or DO whipped into duty; which endeavors
to place this government on a great ma
tienal basis, and once more start it Oh its
peaceful road to prosperity and greatness.
This is the policy aud aim of the Demo,
crstic party, headed by SrErHEN A.
DOUGLAS.
The campaign is now closing and freemen
must make their choice. Little DOUGLAS
and the great National Democratic party
with peace to the country and safety to
the Union, or LlNcoLE and his irrepres-
sibls conflict his divided house, and
warning sectiona! strife. Voters of Iowa
choose the Right and vote for DOUGLAS
and Johnson.
