Clear the ship for ActlOn-The Mann
Question now TO be Put.

The local elections now being over, the field
is clear for the great struggle Of November. To
use = psTiiauen tary phrase, the main question is
now about 10 be put: Shall Abraham Lincoln be
re elected. or shall We have a change in the
Government We have no doubt that there are
tens Of thousands OF persons who. for one cause
o. another. from personal feeling and old party
association, have voted the local tickets OF the
Republican party, that will not sustain Abraham
Lincoln against General Mcclellan. We are
glad that the question is now 10 assume the form
we have presented, and that it Is no longer en-
barrsssed by local organization and side issues.
The American people are soon to be brought
face TO face AZ the polls with the author OF all
our national calsmities They are to pass upon
the conduct Of him who. in order TO carry out
a ~sanatical theory, or from motives of personal
ambition. has carried mourning into every house
hold, and filed the land with gloom-of him
whose first election led 10 the disruption or the
linton. and who is now siurdily committed
against its restoration upon the old besis-of him
whose administration has been organized corrup
tion and despotism, and whose career has been
marked BY 4 contemp, for all constitutional OBJ
legations aud legal restrsiuts-which throughout
has been deeoly s;ained BY criminal folly and
dyed in boot. In short. ihey are called upon 70
approve the author Of the Ito whom il nav con.
Germ letter. whose policy il eternal war for the
abolition OF ne gro slavery, rather than allow the
South TO return TO the Union upon the old con-
ditiOn that existed previous 10 the secession. Do
