The PRESIDENTIAL ELEeTIoN.

Next Tuesday the question is to be decided
whether the ualion shall be preserved, Popu-
lar government vindicaled aud he country go
nn 70 glorious destiny, or shall siuk in'o
dishnnor, anarchy aud iuin. The issue ot na-
luna preservation aud homer, or OF dishonor
and dts1ruerion, is 10 be dec'ci-d by the Pres
,dpuiiaI election, and with it the tact of p"pu-
I4I liberty. Our readers rtalizA The fact, but
have they acted uFon The CONVICTION, and
have they done the work that such crisis
demands OF them Il not, there is bu' short
week more Tor hem 10 work in. and ii should
be impr we'd with diligence and z-al accord
ing % the nonentousness OF the issue.
We see in the mousruus frauds Pracriced
up m the New York soldiers vote, the des-
perate measures the Democratic party have
re,orled 0 10 carry the eecriou. Does any Oae
supp re this an iusolsied cause, Ths the
Only mode they conspired? We know by
his that their efjrs stop al no crime that
will advance their ends. We know that the
whole Cs,ufederacy looks to the elecrion OF
tbe Democratic candidate for its triumph in
The dissolution of The nation, and is co-opera-
tias iu Ihe canvas We know that dsband-
ed aud iuI Iougbed rebels are sWarming into
tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Wesr Nir-
smIa aud Maryland, To help carry the Demo
cratic ticket. We know that in every eeces-
sionls ot he rider States, and in every reb-
el vino plays the guerrilla and robs, murders
aud burns, with d certI6ca of The oath ot
ale4 lance ia his pocket, The Democratic par
" is sure Of voter. We know that the pi-
rates who hrUng our Northern frontier, and
/ Ia the disguise of cIlIz-Us steal on bnard
peaceui vessels aud bu them and rob un-
| -uspec'iug villages, are ready TO vote the
Democratic ticket all along the border. We
know that ac i've rebels will expect to fad
u the Border Free States The lack of that
vigilance at the polls which may oe exercised
IN tne 1t bel dlslrlc $, aud will take alvau age
OF it.
II is strange that good citizens can be su-
pine, while AN elec ion whicn wi decide the
iu.ute ut this mutton is enyironed by such
dangers. But the greatest peril arises from
! the relaxa ion of effIrIs, under the idea Iha
the 5 ale eec tIOIs have eIready settled the
matter, aud that the election vi Mr. LINCOLN
IS sure, aud therefore needs DO Effort. Bu
that the Democratic party does not regard
! the election as II turegOue conclusion, Is ev
ident by the nonslrous frauds its leaders
have resOrted TO TO carry it in New York
They were cuuntereiting and changing sol
diers ballots TO an extent sufficient 10 over
come a very large popular majority. They
were not playing this game without cO-Opera-
tive movements to carry other States for Nc
CelIan.
Our safety requires full vote. Let ev'
cry man do his daty TO his country. full
! Uuion vote will furnish margin againsI
frauds, even of great magnitude. Let every
! man devote this eleventh hour 10 labor FOR
his country. LII it not be said by our brave
soldiers that while they endured Tor long
/ years he hardship of the field, and continually
laced death in The cOuntry's cause, we al home

TO carry a peaceful election contest and by
