Go To Work.

All men, regardless Oh party, who in
this campaign are in favor of genuine
REFORM will give expression to their
desire BY voting for Greeley and Brown.
Those who can see no need of reform,
or if seeing, hold party ties superior to
the right, will vote for Grant and viii
son. There is another class who are
pronounced Democrats aud declare they
will vote for neither, but will support a
third candidate or not vote az all. This
class are few in number BY declining
to vote for Greeley and voting for 4
third candidate they deprive Mr.. Gree.
ley Of but one vote; bu, if their dislike
Of Mr.. Greeley is so great that they
viii vote for Grant, their vote viii in
that case count two against Mr.. Gree.
ley; this Is the way to account for the
admiration SO suddenly conceived for a
class Of men who only escape being
called "copperheads," 'traitors," "dis.
uniouists," &C., because their course as
Democrats tends to weaken their party
and increase the strength of the Repub-
lican party in the same ratio. Long
before November these men will see the
error Of their present course, and the
third party will be as inconsiderable as
anything can be and claim to have an
existence. There is but one thing
needed in this campaign to ensure sue
cess and that is, cork; earnest, persist
ent WORK. Our duty is here, right
at home. We have nothing else to do.
New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Iudi-
ana, every other State, County and
Town must do for themselves that they
would have done. They cannot do our
work, we cannot do theirs. The work
Of one community will encourage the
work Of another, but cannot complete
il. Carroll is the field of our work and
to us is the task Of sending Greeley and
Brown out of the county with a majority
Of the suffrages of our citizens. Boast.
ings will not do it, windy political dis
cussious are void and Of no effect.
Offering to back your opinions with your
money does not convince, bat steady,
earnest, reliable work, will have the
effect. Don't expect your Committees
or Clubs to do all the work. If ever
so capable and DESTROYS ii is more than
they can do to look out for everything
in campaign. We must help them 80
far as lies in our power, we must know
that every friend of Greeley aud Brown
is wide awake, and up and doing. We
must interest ourselves ia seeing that
every man who has a right to vote has
his name on the registry list. Wemust
see that every doubtful man is seen and
his status established, and know as far
as in oar power the influence brought
to bear upon the weakened ones of
our party, and to use all honorable
means to counieract these influences;
and, above all, knowing that our course
is right, go straight to the goal, paying
no attention to the brag and buster
with which our Republican friends are
this campaign, not allowing
ourselves to be discouraged because one
who has always voted with US declares
bis intention Of voting against us, or to
be-unduly elated that half dozen who
have heretofore voted against are now
With US, but keep as steadily at work
q our business Of the campaign as
hough its success depended upon our
Individual effort. These things done,
nd success is assured; disregarded, il
J predetermined. Let every Democrat,
conservative, and Liberal in the coun-
i, rouse himself into immediate and
aruest action, and go to work among
is Deighbors, accordingly. Everyone
IN find something to do. Let il be
,ne at once.
