Z JEnoMEvlLLE, Oct. ri, 1884.
Mr.. EDITOR /: In times of peace aud
general prosperity, when on the v of an
important political contest, although nee
essarIy engaged from day to day in our
shops and Offices and on our farms, vs. did
not fail to devote a portion of the time to
the interests of our common country
But at this critical period in our nations
history, when tia direful calamities of
war are upon us, and when questions in
volving our dearest interests as individ-
uals as a people are SO shortly to be deoi-
ded by the sufrages Of American freemen,
it is imperatively demanded that each
one perform the partsof a1faithful citizen.
It is at all times highly important that
the American citizen be dilligent in as
pertaining what his duties are, lest he be
lead estray by the corrupt and artiul dem
agogue. He should be an Independent
thinker. And in order that he may go
with wisdom to the polls on the 9Th, let
him be governed by pure and patriotic
motives. Let him take asview of the
past history and present condition of the
country ; let him study the Constitution
and tbe, laws, remembering that they are
his only guide, in times of war as well as
in times of peace. And<as SO many thous-
ands in our land are most certainly ex-
hausting their time and strength in mis-
directed effort, it would not be amiss for
linn to retire to his closet OF devotion and
ask the Almighty to direct him in his
course. And the Democratic gains in
our county and State at the late election
seem to Indicate hat the great Author of
wisdom and light is euli ghtening the
minds of the people, through His Provi-
dences and the various instrumentalities
that Heis pleased to make use of from
time to time, causing many to think diff
f%erently on themes connected with our
nations destiny. Even the author of this
article, who has favored the Abolition
policy of the President, is laboring in va
rious ways for the election of Mcclellan
and the political destruction of the Adolf
ton party, as a means of securing LISTING
peace and prosperity to the country
When convinced of political error let us
be manly enough to forsake those errors,
snd let the American citizen, no matter
what has been his political history, perform
his duty on next Tuesday, with a%laerity
and delight, leaving the result of such
action with Him who holds in His hands
the destinies of individuals and nations,
and who has promised to Judge the peo-
pie righteously and govern the nations up
on earth. OLD PERRY. |

LINCOLN.

MrGsooIN bOli'i0 candidate for
the Pfssdency. resses his devotion to
the Union in his uhass 'sTo whom it may
concern" It is, in substance, as follows {:
.tAuy proposition which embraces the
restoration of peace, the n tegrity of the
whole Union, and The abandonment Of
sLauery, will DO received and considered"
No matter if the Southern people void
lay down their arms aud apply for admis
sion into the old Union-desire again to
live under the old flag, with all their
rights protected which the Cor stitution
guarantees to them, Mr.. LINCOLN would
wage war, a cruel, relentless war, to keep
them qSt. lInstM of Welcoming them
back as a father ydld Eteome a prodi-
gal son, he turns the cold shoulder to
them and says, "abolish slavery and then
1 will consider whether you can come in,
to the Union or not" This the South
will never do, and it is not in the power
of the Nsrth to compel her to do it. the
Southern men would not deserve to be
called freemen if they would comply with
such an unjust and tyrannical demand.
They would be fit subjects fer the slavery
to which they will be consigned if LIN
COLIN is successful in subverting their
State Governments.
Voters of Ashland County, will you
vote for the man who is pledged to carry
the war until slavery is abolished !? or
will you vote for MCCLELLAN VINO says,
'the Union is the one condition of peace
ice ask no more ?" Choose ye.

no. We received an excellent com
munication from Hayesville, but on ac-
count of its length We are unable to pub
Iish it in full. We make the following
extract:
"Denocrats of Ashland County, give
yourselves no rest until you have done all
that Is in your power towards eIecting
your glorious standard bearers, George
b. Mcclellan and GeorgesH. Pendleton.
Remember that you have to fight both
the demon of Abolitionism and Chase's
rag money currency, and govern your
selves accordingly. IF you whip both,
you achieve a victory that will make the
Democracy not less immortal than the
three hundred Spartans who fell at the
pass of Thermopyl@.
Men of Ashland County, you have a
duty to perform. If there is a Democrat
in the County who has any influence over
his Republican friends, let him use it. At
this juncture it is the bounden duty of
every man claiming to have any faith or
belief in Democratic principles, to use his
influence, be it great or small. No ex-
cuse can justify silence in a crisis like
this. The wolves, the jackals, the mon
sters eff monarchy and their wicked para
sites and hordes of mercenaries are upon
us. Now is The time for action. Let no
time be lost. Roll on the ball that is to
send Abraham with all his minions to
political graves, aud restore
peace to our distracted country.
FRANKLIN.
