have selected and appointed the fol-
lowing named gentlemen, TO act as a
: Committee of Vigilance, for the re-
spective boroughs and townships, the
r ensuing year Heretofore the com
: uittcc has consisted of but threo por
] sons, and II las often been demonstra.
l ted that through causes impossible to
, control, majority Of this number
9 could not always be present, to dis
charge the duties enjoined upon them,
: and thus the duty of holding the pri.
J. mary election dcvolved upon those not
5 designated. The County Committee
D deeming it no violation of our rules
1 have enlarged the committee, select.
:. ing seren persons in the large districts
$ and fpe IN the small. They would
e suggest the propriety of these com.
S mittees to hold meeting few days
previous to the day of the election,
}, and select from among, and designate,
I three of their number to attend and
hold said election. and at the same
! time appoint. the return Judge, so, that
each may understand his duty. when
J the time of action arrives. Ii Is hoped
2 that all will take lively interest in
Z maintaining and upholding the rules
and organization of the only party
that has, and win, govern this coun-
try according to the Constitution, and
the laws enacted in harmony there
with, and thereby restore us Union
and prosperity TO our distracted coun-
: try, which has been so terribly afflic-
ted by demagogues and traitors, under
the guise of patriotism and ''loyalty. q"
