decidedly taken. "The similar move
ueut now being made throughout tho
West and Northwest. aud which is fast
spreading to the South aud lsast, and
will soon embrace our entire country /;
and that this State should not be be-
hind the rest Of the Unioa in recording
her voice on tue sidc ot,,he people 10
this contest with the Money Power.
The movement is not at oil sectional,
and cannot be made to appear as such;
nor is it confined alone to either Of the
political parties as at present divided
under tbe names Of Democrats and Ra'
pubIicans. All apathy aud Indifference
should now be laid aside. The issues
Of tue lnte civil war should be recognized
as finally settled aud forever disposed Of;
and the people should give notice that
:hey do noe intend to allow their attcn-
tiOn to bc again distracted or drawn
away from the real questions at issue
before them so deeply concerning their
interests and welfare BY any furthe.
