An Appeal,

| To the Republican Electors of heHoShG County:
The undersigned, feeling deep interest in the
result of the coming election takes this opportnn
ty to arouse if possible the true Union men of this
County to its great Importance; especially to oui
Congressional and Assembly tickets. Never were
more vital interests at stake, The Peace Demo
cracy and willy sympathizers with the South, are
openly in the field against US, taking issue with
the Administration against the emancipation and
confscation acts of the President and Congress-
Openly, where they dare to do it; secretly and
coyertly, where policy dictates. Be assured that
no means, foul fair, will be spared by them, to
carry the next Congress against the Administration
In this District, your tired and eoer ta1thtu
champion of Freedom, JOHN +. POTTER, will
| be overslaughed and beaten, unless every friend
is at his post; and in this State the Ryan Democ
| racy will strain every nerve, to secure the next
Legislature for the purpose of fastening upon the
| State for six years, Peace Democrat, or secret
seoessionist to take the place of JAS. K. DooLIT.

The President and the country, expects every
Imam to do his duty in this important Crisis, which

effort of the friends Of Freedom and Free lnsttu-
lions are in imminent peril of defeat The Presi-
dent implores you not to desert HIM In this trial

induced to strike boldly at the wicked and crimi.
nal cause of this Rebellioni not from any fear Of
| bis constitutional right to do so; not from any
fear of its justice, Importance In military point
of view to crush the rebellion, but from eXpedl-
epcy alone; from a timd but honest fear that the
country would not sustain him, in 80 vigorous and
radical policy; though the imminent peril of the
country the hopes of the world, and the malnten-
of Free Institutions so mperiously demanded it.
At last the President yielded to the call of the PEG
ple-the vox populi, and the vox Deli prevailed
The President nobly responded and proclaimed
that on the LIST of January, IS62, the shackles
shall fall from every bondman IN the seeded
STATES and demands of the Free North in return
Sustain me for three months hence, through the
ordeal of the coming elections: Endorse this poll
CIV at the ballot box at home land by the cartridge
box on the field, and the great juguar vein OF the
Rebellion shall be severed, and the Bondmen Free!
