Next Tuesday.

Don't forget that next Tuesday is cleo
ton day. Every conservative voter should
be at the polls. Let not one vote be lost. -
But few days now remain in which to work
Let every hour be devoted to the cause.
We have everything at stake-all to lose or
all to gain. Our tenure to Life, Liberty
Country, Property, and all we hold dear is
to be determined at the ballot box.

The Great Man Hunt.

A great man hunt is now in progress.
The hunters are everywhere on the trial.
Cities and villages are thronged with agents
seeking substitutes. White and black men
are eagerly sought for. Seven to twelve
hundred dollars is the sum paid for an able
bodied man.
Elect Lincoln, and in fifty days after the
election there will be another grand hunt.
By that time, however, game will be exceed
ingly scarce.

Vote for Lincoln, If You want
Another Draft!

Last fall, the Democracy told the people
that if BRoUGH was elected there would
be draft. They were not believed. Re
publican papers and stumpers denied it.
But sure enough, before week elapsed af
ter the election was over, draft was or
dered So it will be again, Remember if
Lincoln is elected 100000 men will be draf-
ted before the lst of January.

The Lincolnite orators evidently imagine
that because we have won two or three mill
tary victories lately, that the people will
give Lincoln another four years lease of
power. Now, victories or no victories, Lin
coin is going out of Office In either event,
of success or defeat, General Mcclellan is
a preferable successor.

Delegations composed Of our most influential
citizens will, we understand be in Albany dur
ing this week in the hope Of still securing a
reduction in the Tax levy. Their sole purpose
is to relieve burdened community, aud this
they believe can be done without Interfering, IN
the least, with tho efficient administration OF
any Of the Departments of tho City Govern
nent. They do not ask that salaries shall be
reduced where il is proper to pay them at all,
but they very reasonably demand that The
hundreds of persons who draw pay under the
City Government, for which they render no
service whatever, shall be Dismissed, and The
people saved from ths expense Of their support.
The Citizens Association has already done
much at Albany in convincing the Legislature
of whot this city requires at their hands, and u
majority Of that body, we have no doubt, are
disposed to do us that simple justice, which is
oil that is asked. But the work is not yet
entirely accomplished and effort should not be
pretermitted so long as the Legislature remains
in session. The more delegations the better.
We pray for taxation from Washington TO sup
port the Government; we pray that Albany
will relieve Us from taxes which support nothing
but schemes Of public plunder, that we may the
more easily and the more chccriully bear our
legitimate burdens.
