Yeu have achieved glorious victory a,
the late election, 3or you selves aud for The
cause of your country. You have given an
almost entire Union Delegation 10 the uext
Congress, aud you have e.eefed your Stale
Ticket by a very large naj ri'y over the
lri-uds aud sympatb zers with treason Ia tFe
STATE. The vote of cur uebe soldiers IN Tie
f, Ia, which Is every day c''ming in overwhem-
iugy on the -ide of tne Union, wi increase
his majority almost 10 al equality with that
which crowned the great victory Of last year.
But he work i by 10 means compleftd.-
We have an election apprusching Of even
greater importance than that which is passed.
We must here again achieve sigBal triumph.
We have hut d few days for active work
and We are opposed by party, vigilant. euer-
grtic. well oiganiz=d. and inscriptions in It's
effIrts 10 give success TO u bad cause. Let Us
not be less uutiriug IN our endeavors TO secure
the triumph of right, Of justice, and Of the
country. We need not remind you of The
great Interests tn be determined at The com
ing election Suffice it 10 say, that, in the
Judgment OF many OF the best and wi-est men
OF our country, the very existence OF the ma
cause, al d the election Of Lincoln and john
son as The choice of the Union party.
Ne cannot afford to be idle when such vasl
results hang upon orr action. A thorough
Organization Can alone assure such successes
as we ought TO have. We must see that eve
~ man is at the polls. Thousands of votes
have been lost 10 the Stale At the past election,
simply from apathy and inalteDtion on The
part OF our friends, arising from the idea that
our success was certain. This nuSt not be re-
pesled. We have strength, aud we must
bTing it to The polls In The short time al
-lotled for work before the 8 b day OF Novem-
Der, we cannot afford to consume much time
in displays or in large assemblages Of men.-
/ Let the great meetings be at the polls.
Let the t0lrnship and lcdrd committees
| throughout the State hare accurate lists OF
! Union U0terS copied from the poll U-Jo0kS Of
! last gear, and let them be 1CeU assured that
/ no man renaaiaing IN the tOJ0nShiP, a0ard
/ or precinct, fUi[S to cast has U0te.
| We repeat l.: his must be done, and must
/ be done in every vo!ipg precinct, There is
/ no excuse for want OF proper Organization
| Two or three men in every township or ward
| can tfs CT This, aud il must not be neglected.
Great pains have been taken by the State
! Central Committee 20 supply tickets. TO tie
army, but still much good may be Effected by
| cutting out the electoral ticket from our news
| papers and enclosing il in letters 10 the SOL
diers especially when they are known TO be in
| hospitals At distant posts, lest there should
/ Ds points which the vigilance of our agents
| had failed to reach. We must eudeavor to
secure the vote Of every soldier, for these men,
standing as they do in ihe very breach, appre-
clare the issues in the present contest, and are
| found voting, with most singular uuanimiy,
on the side OF the country.
| The time for lorg communications, either
verbal or written, is past. The cause demands
| vigorous Wolk. Let every man again prepare
himself for the contest. Again we call on The
Union men throughout the STATE 10 give the
| day Of election TO the country. Let al places
"i business be closed. and let every patrio, re-
pair to his voting place, prepared to do his
duty, and TO urge other men to do theirs
0 Der af'irs can be p stpoBed this must be-
done on the appointed day. Que more triumph
o cheer cur soldiers in the field, aud TO carry
dismay and Encouragement 10 their foes, and
he county is saved. By order of the Com
mitIee.
