of saying a word to our readers on the sub

years. 1t is essentially necessary in order TO
secure the future ascendancy of Democratic
principles in little Cambria, that we should
achieve a complete victory over our opponents
on next tuesday. This we accomplish
! without any difficulty, if every man will do
his duty-his whole duty on that day. Go
