The election, IN November uexf, will be one
OF the most important ever held in the United
States, as We have TO choose President, Vice
President and Congressman. Surrounded as
We are by unprincipled traitors at home and
enemies abroad, there never was time when
it was so necessary that every man should lay
every other consideration aside, ard attend
these primary elections and see that noue bnt
true, sterling, loyal, unconditional Union men
be allowed 10 represent the Union party 10
convention.
Heretofore, it has been too much the case,
that selfish politicians have controlled the
Primaries, for their own purposes regardless
of the best interests Of the people. Now in
;he midst of our troubles, with our noble army
marshaliug their hundreds of thousands, bear
iug our National Flag victorously on the
bloody fields Of battle our glorious navy on ey-
cry sea, the United States requires every
loyal man to do his duty from now
till the Fourth Of November l664-and by
the triumphant election of Lincoln and John
son to tie Presidency, will place the brand OF
condemnation on the brow of every secession
is and traitor at home and abroad.
