you have beaten us-not altogether fair
ly it is true. Some of Us were stricke,
down in the battle, and by force ofarms
but you have carried the day. We ar,
conquered at least for the present Nov
make just such Constitution as yol
please but give us the poor boon OF car
rying out the great right of freemeI
which is essential to all free goyorumen
the right Of voting give US the secre
ballot, as they have in Illinois, wher,
they put the name OF their candidate OF
a piece of paper and place il in the bal
lot box. Let US in Kentucky do th'
same thing that we may no more b
stricken down by violence as in time,
past" What did the King say 10 us
Why William S Marshall OF Bracker
county, a STAKEHOLDER, representing slave
holders, said, I'VE have you upon the
hip we will not give you the secret bal
lot. You must still come up and vote
aloud. You must cry it out so that ev-
cry man at the place of voting can hear
it in order that we may maintain the
wholesome influence Of the landlord over
the tenant"
LANDLORD AND TENANT.
And do you know what that means
Here are these laborers crushed out by
competition of the unpaid slave leaning {
for existence upon some worn ont piece
Of land, owned by one Of the slayehold-
ing aristocracy. There are at the cross
roads some manufactures of heavy arLi-
cles which cannot readily be brought
from abroad. and musi therefore be made
at home in these number of white
persons are engaged. And now the day
of election approaches, and Mr.. Marshall
says to the white laborer, Tom, Dich
or Harry, we have always been friends
haven't we ~ Yes, Mr.. Marshall, |
have paid you your rent and done your
work, and you have always paid me for
it," "Well, Tom, am going to be
frank with you. The election is ap.
preaching. Go now 10 the polls and
vote for whom You please, but If you
vote for Cash. Clay, or any other man in
the Republican party, YOU must pull "
stakes and move your family into the big
road"
That is the wholesome influence exer.
Ted by the landlord over the tenant
That is the influence that has driven our
of the good sd State of Kentucky two
millions Of the white race. To day you
can see them, and for many many years
you could have seen these poor people
going out A thousand times have
seen them with their one horse wagon,
or one yoke Of oxen the father aud tht
