NOW OR NEVER,

Never, in the annals of American pol.
ltics, has there been an election iraught
with more stupendous results, either for
good or evil, than the one now rapidly
approaching. As it terminates, SO also
will depend the good or the i'll of our
people-their financial prosperity or
their utter ruin. For a long time we
have been held in the clutches of a po-
ltieal tyrant; we are worn and wasted
under the terrible despotism. We are
making noble fight, and are within a
hands breadth of victory, but it is the
hardest part of the fight, and it is neces-
sary that we should present front with
erery democrat in the ranks. 1t will
take al to gain the victory. Then, we
call upon every democrat to do his duty.
