A FewLnst Words.

Before another issue of our paper the polit-
ical contest in this State will have been fought
and the cause of the Union and Constitu
tional Government will have been crowned
with the bays of victory or have suffered an
ignominious defeat Voters of Kenosha coun-
ty, with you rests the responsibility of aiding
in that victory, or by supineness, and mani
ty, contributing to that defeat, to an extent
proportionate to the number of Union votes
cast
In this last appeal, we call upon every low
er of the Union; every Republican, every 10y
al war democrat to sink the idea of party for
the time being, and come out to the polls, for
the sake of the country For all the glorious
associations clustering around the memory OF
Washington, ] ferson, and all the heroes and
sages of the Revolution-theF Free Government
and the Great Republic they founded. That
Free Governmental glorious Union, plan
ted in this Western world, has sat like blaz-
ing beacon light to all the people of the world.
for nearly a century, attracting them to It's
life and light, is now assailed and threatened
by a power more cruel and tyrannical than
any absolute monarchy! more cruel and re-
lentless than any barbarism ever known-the
SLaUe power! The issue has been directly
made up by the sympathizers and abettors of
that slave power, themselves. They have vol
UNFAIRLY appealed to the people to support
them, or else the Government against them.
We accept the gage, and call upon all loyai
men of whatever political creed to show their
hand in this crisis. AS in Ohio, Pennsylvan-
ia and Iowa, so in Wisconsin there are but
two parties-the Loyal and the DisIoyal-the
party for the Union, and the party for Disun-
ion AS in those States the loyal party counts
its maiorities by tens of thousands so in Wis
consin, the loyal party may count its majorl-
ty.

County, that shall be felt in the great aggre-
gate of the State, and give us front position
among the banner counties of the Northwest.
