away and the time of voting is drawing
near. Only seven weeks are left previous
to the grand struggle Of November 6th and
only three weeks TO the October olection.-
The latter will probably be decisive as to
the general result. Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and New Jersey all voting for State
officers on that day, will be sure to indicate
the issue of the Presidential contest. In all
probability, all the effective labor which re-
mains to be done must be performed be-
tween now and the second Tuesday in Oc-
tober. There it no time for idling, indiffer-
ence or half hearted performance Of duty.
Every true Republican who would have
part in a glorious victory, should be up aud
doing from this time to election.
There was never more sleepless, untir-
ing and vigilaut foe, than is the Democratic
party. Cut up, divided, broken and disor-
ganized as it is, with overwhelming defeat
darkly shadowing the future, nothing will
be neglected which tireless vigilance, cease
less work, the most INSCRIPTIONS means and
the most liberal expenditure of money can
accomplish, to win victory or break the
force of tho expected defeat. The marked
popularity of indomitable energy, which
belongs to Douglas himself, seems to be-
long to every leader in the army of his fol-
lowers. AS he has not scrupled to walk
over his own record, the record of the early
patriots and to brush aside the precedents
of half century to gain the pretence of a
basis for his 'great principle" SO they will
not halt at anything to gain vote or carry
apoint. No lie will be too bold, no pre-
tence too shallow, no appliance too corrupt
and no means too base for them to resort
to. Not single effort will be intermitted
and not dollar spared, because Of the hope
lessness of the contest.
With such foe in the field, pretending
to all political virtue, and charging on the
Republican party all political vice, there is
nothing to trust to but hard work and sleep
less vigilance. AS individual votes make
up the grand aggregates which confirm re-
suits and bid the multitude cheer and loud
mouthed cannons roar, so individual voters
are what should be secured to secure the
aggregates. Neighborhood meetings, indi-
vidual labor and thorough, complete, and
effective organization are now to be relied
on and trusted in. There is ample general
enthusiasm and spirit. The people are
ready enough to run together in masses and
shout and hurrah for Lincoln and the right
The tide is strong enough, with proper at,
tention to details, to rise to glorious and
overwhelming victory. The mass meetings
will now take care Of themselves. The
general army is all right.
But, the lesser divisions, the companies
the sections and tho single mon now need
looking after. Thevotors need to be known
and confirmed and settled in their deterrn,
nations. The good seed has been sown
the impulses have been planted, but, by
sstealth, in darkness the enemy is busy
'sowing tares..' Every school district needs
to be canvassed and recanvassed until every
voter is known and every voter fixed as to
his vote. Where personal attention is nee
ded and will secure votes, it should be Civ
en-. When documents are needed they
should be supplied. Where public speeches
and arguments to neighborhood meetings
promise anything, they should be held
Every man willing to work and ready tc
work should have his duty assigned him.
Thus doing new voters can be obtained
the haltiug established, the wavering con
frmed and the desired result placed be
yond per adventure Local elections
County and Congressional, will, by the us'
of such means, when such result is posi-
bic, be carried for freedom and the right
Will not every Republican voter at once Sc
to work? Let there be no halting, holding
back or hesitaucy. Duty not only demand
the vote, but it demands the active ant
constant labor of every genuine Repu blican
