To the Front, Republicans.

On Tuesday next, 9Th of November, the
white citizens Of this State are called to 90
to the polls and deposit their ballots, to
preserve the fruits of, and endorse the vic
tories gained by loyal men over the rebellion
or to condemn the acts of those who won
the cause of liberty in that bloody struggle,
to invite reputation of our NATIONAL debt
and the unrepentnnt rebels to renew their
agitation under the encouragement Of Andy
johnson. and lay q new conspiracy in the
interest Of dcspo.ism and human bondage.
In view Of these facts let every Republican
seriously consider the solemn obligation
resting upon him to aid, by tie moral in
tluence OF his vote, the cause Of liberty and
humanity which have been so sorely tried
by the treachery of Andy johnson, and in
this State, by the double refined treason Of
her unprincipled Executive, Thomas Swami.

ed to act his part, and perform his whole
duty in this final onset upon the last despair

entrcuched stand in Maryland, with the hope
of rallying once more and renewing the
struggle successfully under Andy Johnson.
Every vote cast in Maryland by rebel hands
is aid to Johnson in his war upon the Rep

polled by Republican in the interest of
equal rights and equal laws, and in aid Of
universal suffrage, is an encouragement to,

hesitate and palter in the very hour of tri-

We exhort you, Republicans OF Cecil, if
you would hasten the good work which you
have so nobly contended for, against the
accumulated hosts of rebellion and slavery,
and insure your day of deliverance, by show
ing the world that you deserve to be free, to
be at the polls to man. If you thus do
your duty you will hasten the hour when
Maryland too, shall put the minions of the
slave power under ban and under foot, as
Tennessee has so nobly done, and as the
rebel States are rapidly doing; and secure
