| With apprehension 10 the approaching
day Of election? Mississippisns, arise
aud be on your guard! for eighty thou
sand foes srs pressing hard, and seeking
your overthrow. To sleepin this hour OF
danger, or to be indifferent, is treason TO
your wives and children, treason against

Glasses Of the people. II any man falters
! now, let him be unto you as heather
man. Your all il at stake, aud il you

result o. the coming election, for the
/ succesa Of the black Radical ticket will
be the death-knell Ofthe most cherished
hopes and aspirations Of the inmates Of
the humblest cabin il the State, and
perhaps in the south. Bat be not dis
mayed, for you can succeed if every
white man will go to the polls and vote.
Only be true to yourself, your race, your
country and your God, end victory will
be yours, and the heavens shall soon re-
fleet the light ofyOur signal frs ; to every
southern eye aud send rejoicing to every
southern heart. When the French
sauadrons went laundering through the
bleeding and exhausted ranks OF the
allied army, on the bloody field Of
Waterloo, and the iToa heart of
Wellington stood still as they came
surgiug up to the British Guards, the last
opposing barrier to their sweeping onset,
the old hero, in the agony Of his des-
pa'r, fairly shrieked the command to his
PROSTATE men, "Up and at taem," and
springing to the front, with lion hearts,
those bold Britons soon rolled the bloody
tide Of victorious war back under the
throne Of Napoleon, sweeping it away
forever. 10 like manner, Mississippians,
let It be your battle cry at the polls up
and at Them" and mightier and more
important victory than Waterloo shall
crown your efforts and courage. We
have implored the negroes to unite with
yoE in driving from power the corrupt
thieves who are plundering and running
your State, and assist in establishing a
good government that would be a pro-
lection to all classss, and have begged
them to consider that your interests
were mutual, and no good reason exist |
ed why you should not live in harmony,
and act together for your mutual good
and the good of the State; and to &C.
complish Sd desirable apurpose you have
sacrificed your principles and party in
Missis sippi, and still they have listened |

from ali your friends ap- |
proaches; have chosen to think |
you their natural foes; and are to-day, |
with honorable exceptions, in an atti-
tude Of downright hostility to you, and |
plotting for your ruin. But, coloTed |

you not TO look on the white people as
your enemies, but as friends, and assist |
them TO tear from your threats the horse
leeches that are sucking your lifs-bloOd; |
help them to turn cut of office the |
thieves that are disgracIng and running |
your State. But if you will not thus |
act, and will continue to combine for
their ruin, we warn you that they will
not desert their homes. They will not
turn a deaf ear to the cries OF their
mother when she calls upon them to
free her from the gap Of the ruffians
who are struggling to degrade her. The
forces are now marshaling for the con-

the battle will soon be joined, and Mis-
