The last hope, therefore, of the supnorta,.

fatal to the armed conspiracy against the
Union and the Constitution Every vote
for our tried and faithful President will
paralyze some arm raised to shoot down
the flag, while every vote for the base
surrender at Chicago and the men who
carry its white flag will encourage some
rebel to shoot another Northern soldier
The ticket nominated by Vallandigham.
Wood and Seymour is now black with
treason, and after it is voted it will be
red with the blood of our brothers fight
ing for US. The war has existed for tho
past year only by reason Of our divisions.
and Its continuance to-day is solely owing
to the activity of the digunion party OF
the North and the platform of its conven-
ton. While any hope remained of the
election Of Its candidates, plausible excu-
ses might be found by misguided men for
giving them their suffrages but after the
yerdicts Of Maine, Vermont, New Hanp.
shire, Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylyauia,
all sensible persons knew that the election
is already decided by the people, and that
it only remains TO ascertain the majorities
1t follows, therefore, that every vote for
Mcclellan sand Peadleton is an earnest
invitation to jefferson DAVIS to continue
this fearful war, TO waste more Of our
treasure and to murder others of our sons.
The sublime spectacle Of united North
will end the war. We invoke all patriots
to lend their efforts increasingly to produce
this result. BY perfecting the ward and
township organizations; by public addrss-
ses, especially By local speakers; By earnest
personal efforts with honest but mistaken
men by making arrangements to bring
every loyal voter TO the polls; by sending
tax receipts to every soldier and sailor;
by the immediate formation of campaign
clubs in every borough and community;
I by great meetings of the people by day.
light and torchlight, and by all the homes:
agencies OF an active and thorough canvass,
appealing to the patriotic zeal aud kiudliDg
the patriotic enthusiasm OF great aud
loyal Commonwealth, we can attest the
fealty of our State to the flag of the Union
by majority worthy Of the historic char
acter OF the contest and Of the great issues
dependent upon it.
Forward, then, every lover of his country
to this good work Looking not to the
past, but to the future, forgetting all per-
sonsl considerations, and appreciating the
privilege of some sacrifice Cor Liberty and
the Union, let US relax no effort until the
polls are closed This committee will
continue to do its whole duty, and relies
upon your instant, earnest and constant
assistance.
