We have grave political contest before us OF which

success at tho coming Presidential election would sup
press all political rights throughout tine Union, ana
probably engender another sectional war. Patriotism
demands the Efforts of every voter 10 remove al
such dangers. This, IA my Judgment can DC accom-,
