TO TnE POLLS, ONCE MORE

TO T4E POLLS, ONCE MORE.
Once more, this fall, we call the Demo-
Gratis Of Columbia County to the polls. In
the Lutte election VIC did o noble work. Our
majority was increased to 1000, lacking only
few votes. Yet the Republican party, in
districts where fraud could be practiced,
voted illegal votes, and colonized votes suf-
,fcient to give them small majority in the
State. These unlawful proceedings have
been detected; the Republican colonial
tions cannot be repeated in November. -
Their vote in this State was exceedingly
large, and cannot be increased next Tues.
day. Upon the other hand, in several coun.
ties Of the State, local contests in the Dem
ocratic party greatly interfered with the Oc.
tober vote for the Democratic candidates for
State officers. These considerations, we
think, are sufficient to cause every Demo.
crat to work with all his powers renewed for
the cause Of Justice and Liberty on the Sd
Of November, with almost certain victory
in view. But these are not the only hopes
Of the Democracy Of Pennsylvania. True,
they are enough to overcome the Radical
majority. In connection with them we have
other facts to encourage US, and make vic
tory certain, if we only use the power in our
hands. The votes Of thousands Of qualified
Democratic electors were illegally rejected
in October by corrupt and peijured Radical
officers Of election. This we believe cannot
and dare not be repeated. We teel assured
that every qualified voter Of this State will
90 to the polls next Tuesday with deter
mination to perform the Office Of citizen
and elector. Once have many Democrats
submitted tamely while corrupt officers ma.
liciously forbade their votes. We hope and
believe the sun has set upon Radical infamy,
and that the glory Of his light is shining
upon the path Of justice and truth, to lead
rs to q triumph in November, that will re.
feet the rays Of life and light to our out
ragged people and government, forever re-.
moving that mighty shadow Of Radical De-.
monism which now encircles Us and binds US
in despotism, both as individuals and as cit.
iscus.
We scarcely think the Democrats Of COL
umtia need be urged. Ever vigilant as
they have been, they will continue to be
yet VIC wish to make an earnest appeal to
all. Stand not idle. Action il the source
Of success-carefll, constant, bold and truth.
full action. WORK is the watchword Of
tho hour. Go carly to the polls on Tuesday
next-take your neighbor with you-6ght ,
fearless battle for the cause that is repre-
sented in our candidate, HoRAro SEY
xoUR.
Do you not feel tho chains Of dcspotisu
drawing tighter about you? Would you
hurl them Of? You answer: Yes, wt
would cast them off-trample them under
foot, and spurn the tyrant Radical, who, in
his reckless spirit, forged the links Of des.
potism for the American citizen ''outside Of
tho Constitution. Come, then, TO the
polls, girded with your armor Of Law, and
cast your ballots against the usurpations o.
Radicals in the United States.
This county did we'll in the October cleo
son. Can she do more in November u,
wery Democrat in Columbia ask himself
Ibis question. What is the answer7 Il
can be mono other than: YES. When you
answer yes, we appeal to you in tho name ol
tho liberty which the patriots Of tho Revo'
luton gave Us, let the work show that We
mean YES'
More than two hundred Democratic vo
ters in Columbia County did not vote in the
October election. Can not every vote b
polled next Tuesday?
Again we say, strike, ono aud al, and
with the stroke must fall the wicked and
destructive party that destroys our libcrtie.
