THE following appeal made by Mississippi
Republican to his party in New Hampshire,
commands the attention of Maine Republi-
cans as well:
ut is hardly necessary to make an appeal to
New Hampshire Republicans to do their duty.
They are not merely voting to give New Hamp-
shire benefcent state government They are
voting for the permaDency of Republican insti-
tutions and the honor of the federal Union.
They are checking the advance of the hnogry
and remorseless hordes of the solid South upon
the treasury of the country. They are voting to
make hsnesty and sobriety respectable, and to
reprove the plant alton manners revived in the
Congress of the United States by the influx of
Confederate Brigddlers. They are voting to
suppress war, to foster honesty, economy, and
a strict observance of the obligations OF the ma
ton. Surely, then, no Republican will remain
away from the polls. If be does, my opinion
is that he will regret is delinquency just once
and that will be for the remainder of his life."

The confession of Austria that the only
hope of defeat Of the designs of Russia is in
