No IIO5 CHESTNUT STREET.


FELLow-CITIzENs:
We are on tho of an important election. The
repentant Rebels of the South united with the Copper
heads of the North, again upon the path-not
with arms in their hands, but with hatred in their
hearts those brave and loyal who peried all to
their country Defeated the battle field they
anxious to try another which to test not their
prowess but their treachery. The cowardly attempts
of the Copperheads of the North to assist their breh
south during the Rebellion again resorted
to, in the hope that this combination of traitors will
by the ballot what they in vain hoped to gain by
the bullet Pennsylvania is the battle ground selected
for this atrocious venture.
The importation of voters the rebel cities of Bal
timore and New York, with many from New Jersey and
Delaware has already been attempted for the purpose
of placing them extra assessment lists. The
frauds perperated if not with the connvance at least
by the neglect of Judge of the Supreme Court of
State, undergoing investigation. Forged ma
turalizaon papers with the of the Prothonotary
the seal of the Court attached have been dissent
mated amongst the people to extent difficult to
tain.
There yet remains to finish up this daboca plan to
cheat the honest voters of their rights the importation
from New York and Baltimore of thieves and roaghs,
Just previous to election day. together with
stufng in certain Democratic wards OF our city Some
may think this picture exaggerated but we assure you
that after thorough and exhaustive examination,
with information from sources entirely reliable, we
give it deliberate opinion that arrangements for
frauds had made by this socaed Democratic party
in the city of Philadelphia alone, which, if consum
mated, would have aggregated ten thousand votes.
Never in the history of the corrupt organization self
styled Democratic, has rascay been attempted on 80
stupendous a scale In comparison all previous efforts
sink into insignifcance With these facts before you
fellow. citizens, will not every who feels inter-
est the purity of elections to the polls and de-
nounce by his ballot this barefaced treacheryP
The issues involved in the contest have been tho
roughly discussed Are willing that the control of
City and State shall be placed in the hands OF men
who are capable of resorng to the already al
luded tor We think not
Come, then, to the polls Let every man opposed to
the vainy we have described; man who has the
good of his country at heart man Interested in
the fair fame of his City and State to the polls
vote early, and see to it your friends vote also.
BY order of the Committee.
