LET every Democrat at the polls to-day
remember the tremendous stake for
which we are struggling, and nerve himself
to the most extraordinary exertions. You
are engaged in the cause Of civil liberty
the noblest and the best in which men ever
participated. Itiis worthy Of the severest
labor and most persevering efforts. 1t is
the same cause in which the unhappy Poles
have made such a gallant though unayailing
struggle; the same cause which has arous-
ed the sympathy of mankind, inspired the
poet and the patriot in all ages and all
elimes. It is the same old struggle Of lib
erty against tyranny which we inherited
from the revolution. Let the exertions Of
the Democracy be worthy of their cause,
and the triumph which follows will be a
triumph of liberty over its old enemy
despotism.

The Democracy of Ohio, going into the
battle Of the nth October, 1854, feel as King
Henry did at Agincourt, and proclaim;
.fhat he which hath no stomach 70 this 6ght
Let him depart; his passport shail i ,.s. us m.u''
And crowns for convoy put INTO MS PuIs.'
We would not die in that mans company
That fears his fellowship 70 die with u.s."
We know full well the odds arrayed
against us; we know full well that it Is
"big thing" to stand upright and grapple
with the giant despotism which confronts
us; we know full we'll, It is asking much to
ask men to stand up against the tide OF
tyranny and corruption which has poison
ed every channel of intercourse, every
avenue of life; we know full well that It is
"that great hope miscalled forlorn;" we
know full wen that the struggle is the final
and the fatal one of the age, and that the
destiny of Democracy in America for good
or evil hinges upon the result; but we
know also that the spirit OF a great people
especially after it has once tasted of the
draught of liberty-rises from the press
ure of adversely, and, like the giant In the
fable, breaks the puny cords which bound
it to the earth and shakes off the shackles
of oppression as lion shakes from his
name the dew of the desert or the fog of the
jungle. So we expect to see the brave and
patriotic voters of Ohio shake off the LIN
COLIN despotism; and in defiance of the In
timidation and the threats Of those who
q .,..k a,.1 Inn
beetle Administration, by defeating the Abo-
lition ticket, assume their perpendicular
position as men worthy of the name Of
freemen. He who through fear of conse'
quences to himself will not vote in behalf
Of liberty when he has an opportunity, Il
already slave; he who cannot distinguish
between liberty and despotism is fool; he
who can distinguish but dare not pronounce
his judgment is coward.

Be particular and see that EVERY DEM
OCRAT is at the polls! Let no one be alb
sent under any circumstances.
See that the many men of the opposition
who want to vote our ticket are quietly pro-
vided with the ballot, and that they are not
intimidated by Abolition leaders and
threats!
See that the OLD and INFIRM are
brought in a careful manner to the polls!
Look out for fraudulent voters! Re-
member the "ballot-box stuffing" last
fall
VOTE EARLY IN THE DAY, and
spend the day in getting out your friends
and acquaintance. Send for them if they
are not at the polls at reasonable hour!

Old FRANK BLAIR, the father Of the BLAIR
family, publishes card, describing his visit
to McCLELLAN, when he offered, on behalf
Of LINCOLN, to restore MCCLELLAN to his
command in the army, II he would decline
the Chicago nomination. Old Mr.. BLAIR
denies that LINCOLN authorized him to
make such proposition, and says he made
it ON his own account. This will do very
well for an electioneering story, among
marines, but it won't pass current among
the veterans. There is no possible doubt
that LINCOLN made MCCLELLAN the propo-
sition, and MCCLELLAN has the evidence to
prove it. Postmaster General BLAIR, with
in one week after leaving the Cabinet and
confidential councils of President LINCOLN,
made the following confession in speech
in Cooper Institute, New York:
"a quondam chief of the Federal army
Mcclellan Whom believed to the last to
be true to the cause in which his country IS
embarked, and, / may add. ,ohOm the Presi-
dent heldto be PATRIOTIC, and had con-
certed with Gen. Grant to bring again into
Inc llclu Us Ills duJ JulCt, AZ ne iO"NH AAS
BACK on the proposals Of the peace junto
at Chicago"
Here young Mr.. BLAIR states, what he
had abundant opportunity of knowing
that the President held MCCLELLAN to be
PATRIOTIC, and had concerted to return him
to the field, provided he declined the Chica-
go nomination. Old Mr.. BLAIR's visit to
MCCLELLAN may or may not have been au-
thorized by the President; but that does
not alter the fact that LINCOLN was prepar-
ed to give MCCLELLAN a command, provid-
ed he allowed LINCOLN to take the Presi-
dency-thus showing that all the abuse ol
MCCLELLAN, and all the efforts to ruin hin
while in command of the army, were insti'
gated by mere partisan Jealousy, and per-
sonal hatred, and not OIL account of want
of confidence in his military capacity ano
genius.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN stands before the peo-
pie to-day accused-by two Of the ablest
and most eminent Republicans in the coun-
try, B. f. WADE and ii. WINTER DAvIs-of
"dictatorial usurpations,' of "striking a
blow at the principles of Republican Gov
ernment," and striding headlong towards
anarchy" These men tell the people to
"corsider the remedy for the usurpations,
and, having found it, fearlessly execute it."
The remedy is this day in the hands of the
people for the first time i'm four years. That
remedy lies in the ballot-box, and in the
defeat of the party which supports these
usurpations and these headlong strides to-
wards anarchy and despotism. = 80 /

The original disunion party in this coun-
try is the Administration party which now
asks men to vote for it under the name
of Union party. 1t is composed and led by
disunionists-the same men who, through
HORACE GREELEY and The New York Tri-
Juae, told the men Of the South in 1860 that
If they really wanted to go out of the
Union, they, the Abolitionists, "would do
all they could to forward the views and ac-
complish the wishes Of the South" A vote
for the Administration ticket to-day is an
indorsement2 of the Southern rebellion.

the infamous outrages of PAINE in Ken

No MAN can consistently object to the

endless war, monthly conscriptions and
continued slaughter. Every honest and

conscriptions unnecessary and terminate
useless slaughter. Those who are so grossly

endless war, yet object to fighting; in favor
