MEssRs. EplroRs: Our quiet town, on

excitement, it having been announced ny
hnutl-bill. for some days, that benjamin
X. NickerSon, Of your city, would address
us ON the political issues Of the day, at
which time he would vcntillate the char
hctcr and claims Of Thomas Fitch, Junior,
10 scat in the Legislature from FL Dora
ITO county. The long residence OF Mr.
Nickerson in the county, together with
his reputation as an effective stump speak
er, called together large audience. Mr.
NickerSon tOnk the stand about 0ciock'
and for more than three hours he chai'c''
the attention Of his audience with one o'
the most remarkable speeches ever uei'-
.-od In o,,- ,own NJ. cotH8enCed by
saying that in the election just approach
ing he had the same interest that all ciu-
zens had no more ; that between nm a"d
Thomas Fitch. Junior, there was no rival
nv: that he, NickerSOn, did not desire to
be elected; that he only desired good men

WINGED all who desired to be convinced that

Gus instances known to u.s. from various causes, and
many bed ridden invalid has been restored to

is really worthy the confidence Of the public lIav-

TIE man who fears to express his opin-
ion is contemplate. Such men are found
in political parties; they are not the great
leaders, nor are they exactly destitute Of
influence; they are the captains of squads,
little in every resource but scrviity and
instability. Now is the favorable time to
see them; there is n commotion among
them; they don't know where to fall ;
don't know which ticket is going to be
elected, and they wrigglc magniliccntly.
This is bad season for fence men" and
apostates, as the result will prove next
Wednesday.

SUMMING Up TIE COsr.-In 1850 tho to.
tai value of the real and personal property
of the United States, according to the cen.
sus, was eight thousand millions of dol
lars. In 1860, under Democratic rule,
the property of the United States amount
cd to sixteen hundred millions of dollars,
doubling in ten years, something UMPIRE
cedented. In seventeen months of Re-
publican Abolition rule, property of the
country has been destroyed, according to
the New York independent, to the amount
of ten thousand millions Of dollars! How
long will it require the present Abolition
Administration to utterly bankrupt and
destroy the Union?

they were delighted with the meeting,
and that Sanderson and Fitch left perfect

STANDING ARMY OF OFFICE IioLDERs.-
1t is estimated that there will be at least
twenty-six full regiments Of tax collectors,
distributed throughout the United States,
under the new law. The whole standing
army, under Democratic rule, did not
amount to half so many. These tax col
lcctors will be furnished with means to
use and be instructed to work against the
Democratic party.

liz ACrNE.-Wc hope our Democratic
friends, in all parts of our proud old coun-
~, will he active aud viglant, and not
rest until the necessary steps are taken to
bring to the polls every Democratic voter
in the county. The result in the Empire
county is looked forward to with intense
solicItudc by parties throughout the State.
The AbolitionistS claim it by a sweeping
majority. Conncss boasts that he owns
it aud can make its sOvcrcigns vote as he
dictates. The result will either confirm
or contradict his arrogant boast If he
carries it, it will be exultantly proclaimed
everywhere an Abolition victory"-a
triumph of the followers of Phillips, Gar
riSon and Fred Douglass --an Endorsement
Of the arbitrary and unconstitutional
measures Of the Administrations iuSti
iication and approval of the viffainy of
Cameron, Morgan, Fremont and other Alb
clifton thieves. 1t is the duty Of every
man who admircs honesty and dcspises
rascality-who does not sympathise with
AbolitioniSm-who does not wish negro
labor to compete with white labor-to
turn ont on the day of election and vote
the whole Democratic ticket. We have
assurance from well-in(ormel gentlemen,
who have visited the different precincts,
that with proper eXertions We can carry
our county by an overwhelming majority.
Let the Democrats, then, on Wednesday
next, rebukc the apostates who have sold
themselves for Office, strange Abolition
ism; and let their e&outs Of victory
brighten the eye and cheer the heart Of
the national, law-obscrvinS, Constitutions
rcverencing, Union-loving Democracy of
the State.
