tits aDu,y 10 Vote.

Yes, duty, one OF the gravest duties of citi-
zenship; and the election, to-day, presents one
Of the most important occasions for the perform
ance Of this duty. Therefore, no man entitled
to vote should fail to recognize his obligations,
as a citizen, to the community, state, and coun-
ty in which he lives, by going to the polls, to-
day, and depositing his vote in the balot-box.
II am very busy, and one vote can make no
difference" says some voter. If every one
should say SO, and act accordingly, no voting
would be DONE The total VOTE at an election,
Is made up of individual votes, and no individ.
ual should fail to contribute his share. II is a
fact not easily explained, that some of the men
most liable to omit voting are among those most
capable of an intelligent appreciation of their
duty as citizens. 1t would, no doubt, be more
convenient to such people, in some respects, to
have an absolute despotism relieve them of all
political duties; but we are quite sure that they
would not find such an arrangement more salts
factory. Freedom and free institutions appeal
to the people for support; and where the people
will not take the trouble to maintain them, they
must fail.

Look at this Trinnn,sm.

Some ten days ago or more, we had short
editorial article on the swindling and thievery
of municipal ring at York, Pennsylvania,
which appeared to resemble the notorious Tweed
ring of New York city. The high-handed ras.
cality of this York rng as reported, seemed
equal in lis way to the famous loings of the
Tweed operators. We said what we thought Of
1t, without word or an intimation that could
show whether these York scoundrels were re-
publieans or democrats. We could not afford to
weaken our Judgment of their yillainy by at
tempting TO use il for electioneering purposes
October 26th, the New York Tribune, which
does not scruple at anything in its desperate
efforts to get votes for Greeley and Brown. gave
attention TO our article in the following para

The republican candidates presented for our
votes, to-day, in this city, were all fairly nomi.
mated; and they are republicans who have act
ed with the party faithfully, for long time.
They will undoubtedly receive the votes of all
republicans; and we hope TO see them all elect
ed. There are not many "liberal republicans"
in Worcester; bat there has been a considerable
increase Of. the democratic vote in some of the
wards, by naturalization, and our democratic
friends profess to be very confident of car
ryIng the eleventh representative district.
This confidence is based on large
increase of their vote in that district. But
there are more republican voters in that part of
the city than they appear TO take account of.
To make sure of electing our candidates, special
measures should be taken to bring out every re-
publican voter. Itwoud not be pleasant to lose
the eleventh district, and know, at the same
time, that it might have been saved by the stay
at-home voters. Let there be no lack Of earnest
work of the right kind; and let no republican
voter omit the important duty of voting.
