ocrats upon trumped mp charges in different por-
tions Of the State Just before the election, they
NAV hope TO keep enough Democrats from tie
polls TO secure an easy triumph. Our object now
i TO caution the people Of the State against the
schemes of the cOnspirat0rs. Pace no conf
dence in any reports calculated TO injure the
Democratic party ,or he not ialmidated by any
threats having the same object in view. If there
ever was period when every conservative citi-

that constitutional liberty. and all that We have
regarded valuable in our free Institutions, can
only be saved by the triumph Of conservative
sentiments at the ballot box at the elections this

citizen.
