Friends of Freedom and Fremont, take
example after your brothers in the out-
post State of Maine. They did not
make their marvellous majority for
Haitian of 20,000, out of banners, pro-
cessions, music, meetings and fireworks,
They got it by CANVASSING THE
STATE. Of the 121,000 votes given
to Freedom in Maine, 119,000 were can-
vaseed. and got. down on paper with pen
and ink. at least a week before the elec-
tion. Every School District in the State
was politically inventoried, Nearly
every man in Maine having at once
conscience and reason, was personally
appealed to, to sustain Freedom and
rescue the|Republic from the domination
of the Slave-breeders. What a splendid

Fail.-ixns or FREEDOM see to this!
The. Final warning-
We copy the following from the Tribune,
as expressing better than anything which we
can write,wliat we would say to our readers
in this our ‘last issue but one before the Elec-
tion :
The prospect before us is now such that
surely every patriot must be willing to
give every disposable moment of his time,
in the interval between this and the Pres-
idential election, and to leave nothing
within his power undone, to avert the
fearful catastrophe of the subjection of ‘
this Union for four years longer to the ‘
-calamities and disgrace of 9. Border Ruf-
éiian and fillibuster Administration-and
itliat, too, not the mere cxpcrimeiital and
comparatively timid and hesitiiting Bor-
der Rullianisni and fillibusterism of Frank-
lin Pierce, but Border Rufiianism and fil- .
libustcrisni made bold and confident, in
solcnt and domineering by a deliberate
popular indorsement, or what would be
rcprescnted and regarded as such. - We
have hitherto at times felt the yoke of u
slavelioldiiig domination to bc heavy
enough ; but it is to ii yoke far licn.vicr l
and more gelling that the pusillanimity
cor fu_tuity of a portion of the people in
‘two or three Northern States new threat-
«ens to subject us. The slavcholdcis who
have ruled us have always hitherto pro-
Ifcssed, and inany of them have with sin-
ccrity cntci'tuincd at least the theoretical
ideas of dcinocmcy, however in their do-
, mestic practice they may have fallen
. short of those principles. Tliut Jeffer-
son, and M-adisoii, and Jackson, and
many other sluvclioldcrs of that clus.-:,
were dcniocrut-s in principle cannot. be
denied. Besides, the rule of the slave-
lioldcrs was greatly modified by an influ-
cnw exercised over it by their allies in?
the Nortlicrn Statcs——a.n inllucnco which
at tinics——us for iiistuncc during the Ad-
ministrations of J uckson and Van Bu-
ren—wus decidedly predominant. We
have never denied that there are zunong
ztlie sluveholdcrs, including as they do
whole educated and ciiltiva-ted class
-.n.t the South, mimy men of iiitclligcrwr, ,
jpliiluiithropy and putiiotisin, perfectly,
qualified to serve the nation to advan-
. tago ; though at the sonic time we have
produced :i.biindu.nt proofs to show that
the sluvcliolding domination of tho last
half century has been in a liundrcd ways
a vast drziivbuck to the country.
But it is no longer it question of :i.’
-merely slave-liolding Adiiiiiiistmtioii siicli
us we have liithcrto lnnl and lnivc become
:accustomed to. It is it fcarful result
‘that ‘slave-liolding prcdomimincc, to
iwliicli the Free luborc-.i's of the North,
«decided majority as they are and have
~«~_-SM
*
mittcd, that not only we of the North,
but the better and more intelligent pol‘-
tion of the sluvelioldcrs along with us,
have gradually at first-, but of into years
rapidly, slipped down to the brink of ii
terrible abyss, into which we seem now
just about to full, carrying with us the
last chance of republican liberty, and
along with it the hopes of the world.-
Thc domination which now impcnds over
us is no longer merely ii slave-holding
domination ; it is s. slave-breeding domi-
nation, a slave-trading domination, ii
slavery-extending domination, in. domina-
tion to be exercised by men who inuke
no claims any longer to aitcrt.u.in any of
the principles of J effcrsoniau Democracy
who scout at the idea of the rights ‘of
man, who set aside the Declurutioii of
Independence as a more rhetorical flour-
ish, who ridiculc the nation that laboring
men ought to have any share in the inun-
agemcnt of public affairs, and who hold-
ly proclaim in many of their Southern
organs that Free society is ii. disgraceful
failure, and that domestic servitude, the
reduction of the laboring whites to the
condition of slaves, must be established
at the North, as political servitude to
Southern tuskmasters already has been-
Consider for a moment what the fear-
ful rcsult of the election of Buclnimm
must be. It will be taken, and with
good grounds, as a popular approval of
the outrageous assault by Brooks upon
Sumner. From the position of ii fero-
cious bully, u disgrace to his State and
to the nation, Brooks will be elevated to
the posltioii of a conquering hero, whose
prowcss has subjected in working submis-
sion at the feet of the South, if not the
whole North, at least enough Northern
States to decide the result of the election.
From the moment that Buchanan is elec-
ted President, ’no Northern member of
Congress can any longer expect to derive
from his position as such the slightest
protection in the exercise of his constitu-
tional privilege of freedom of speech. If
he dare speak at all, except by way of
flattery and echo of the slave-breeders and
Slavery-extensionists, he will do it at the
risk of his life, at the risk of being way-
layed and assassinated, not merely on his
way to and from the Capitol, but in the
very hall of legislation itself, shot down,
perhaps, or struck senseless by a blow
from behind in the very act of speaking.
The party that nominated and supports
Buchanan for the Presidency has never
expressed any disapproval of the act of
Brooks, but, on the contrary, both they
have given it a tacit approval. The first
result, then, of the election of Buchanan
will--be, suppression of the freedom of
discussion in the Halls of Congress, and
the introduction instead bf gutta perch».
and club law. Brooks, encouraged by
this populariindorsemeut of his outrages,
will be at once raised to the position
of absolute lord and master of the
House of Representatives, to which
he has been re-elected.
At the same time that the Represents‘
tives of the minority of the people are
thus deprived of all freedom of political
action, the minority of the people will
themselves share 9. similar fate. The
election of Buchanan will be an indorse-
ment of the system practiced during the
canvass in the fourteen Southern States
in which his main strength lies, of sup-
pressing by force and violence all demon-
strations in favor of Fremont. The elec-
tion of Buchanan will be the adoption
of that new system of sulI'rage—-iiew
at least here in America—umong the usa-
ges of the party that elects him. From
the South it will be extended to the
North, and lienceforward, we may expect
that, instead of free competition in the
way of newspapers, traéts, speeches, po-
litical assemblies and proccssioiis, and
other sjmilar means of attracting public
attention and gaining votes, every party i
or combination of parties that feels itself
in a decided majority, will fell upon the
minority parties with force and violence,
and cmnplcllsly suppress all exhibition or
utterances of their political preferences.
We come now to e l‘-liird result to be
expected from Bllcllillfi-h"S election. The
system of intrusive voting, ballot-box
st-ufling, bogus legislation and bogus ii-,r.
rcsts, backed up by arson, murder and
robbery, which, with the full approval of
Mr. Buchanan end his supporters, have
been employed in Kansas as means of the
extension of Slavery, and of trampling
under foot not merely a miiiority but a
decided majority of the people of ihe Tex-

The Danbnry Mass Meeting.
The largest political gathering which has
convened during this cmnpaign.in our county.
assegililcd on 'l‘hursduy last, at Dsnbury, to
listen to the great question of Freedom or
Slavery in the 'l'cri-itories. Early in ‘the day
the people flocked into town from various
quarters by thousands. notwithstnniling the
Ihrc-atoning aspect of the weather. The pro-
ccssion of teams and a cavulcade of‘ about 200
horses and riders was over two miles in
length, while the streets and walks were
thronged with pedestrians. Altogether there
could not have been less than Sl-JV]-}.\' 'ruous-
xxn people present. and where on earth they
all came from was the query with all who are
unfamiliar with the teaming life that dwells
in the rural fnstnesscs of the upper tier of
towns in Fuirlield County.
In the line, and loading the procession, was
a beautiful cur, drawn by f'onr white bores,
surrounded with wreaths and flowers and an
out-spread American eagle, and beneath the
canopy sat a bcuiifiliil young lady, richly at-
tired, rcurcsenting the Goddess of Liberty.
This in beauty of outfit and effect was the,
prettiest device we have yet witnessed in this
campaign. All through the line were stream-
lng banners and ensigns, upon some of which
we were able to transcribe the following dc-
viccs: “Fremont and Freedom.” “Fillmore
and Fizzlc.” “Buck and the D—-1.” “J. C.
Fremont, our President in 1857.” “Fremont
and Freedom for the Territories.” “J. C.
Fremont, the Peoples’ Choice.” “ Liberty,
Union and the Constitution.” “ Ten Cent
Jimmy's too late for the White House dinner.”
“Clear the track for the Mustang Colt”—(cir-
cling a fine portrait of Fremont.) “ The
Patent Democracy have sold their birthright
for ii mess of pottage to the Black Power.”
“Grcas y Mechanics and small listed Farmers.”
"Jessie and Union.” “Young America in the
Field,” etc., etc.
The spcakcr’s stand was erected on the
beautiful rise of ground immediately in the
rear of the residence of Geo. Ives, Esq. The
following gentlemen were elected oflicers of -
thc day : '
Nelson S. White, President.
Vice Presidents—David D. Hoag, Sherman;
Alvah S. Pearce, New Farfield; H. C.. Lob-
dell, Brookfield; Horace E. Hickok, Bethel ;
E. R. Whittlesey, Danbury; A. B. Beecher,
Newton; Beuajah Gilbert, Wilton ; Henry
Read, Redding; A. II. Byington, Norwalk;
Isaac Reynolds, New Milford; Timothy
Smith. Ridgefield ; William R.Sceley, Bridge-
port.
The President then called upon the Rev.
Mr. Griswold to open the Convention with
prayer. The eloquent and fervent prayer of
the man of God was followed by a song from
the Ridgelield Glee Club, and music by the
Danbury Brass Band, when Wm. H. Fry, of
the N. Y. Tribune, was introduced to the
audience. Mr. Fr_v’s address was one written
with exceeding care and with great ability.
He reviewed in historical succession the oper-
ations, claims, and graspings of the slave
power, the position of the Republican party
and its candidate, and answered the ob-
jections urged by our opponents against them.
Had his address been given in a hall where
his audience could all have been comfortably
seated, it’ would have told with tremendous
effect upon the questions at issue. But several
thousand of his vast auditory being compelled
to stand for some three hours during its de-
livery, and his not possessing the vocal power
to make himself heard, its power and excel-
lence was lost to large numbers who otherwise
would have enjoyed its delivery — conse-
quently calls were made for Gov. Ford before
its conclusion,not from any intended disre-
spect to the speaker, but because so many
were unable to hear him, nnd being compelled
to leave for their homes, desired to listen for
a few moments before their departure to the
Buckeye Hercules.
The Governor being introduced, made ii
few strong points by various sallics of wit and
anecdote which greatly refreshed his tired out
audience. He spoke for about an hour in it
most interesting and effective manner, when
from the lateness of the time, the people were
reluctantly compelled to relinquish him as be
same evening.

havc taken her under their own personal

is rapidly gaining in public favor, and begin-
ing to build up a very promising freight busi-

scnger boat also, as she makes good time and
her trips can be depended upon with as much
certainty as the cars, and at half the cost.

Hon. Truman Snsith’s Letter.
No one, we take it, who knows the man,
will suspect Truman Smith of truckling to
any power on the earth or under earth. It is
well known by citizens of the whole Union,
and more especially of Connecticut, whose
immediate Representative he has so long and
faithfully been, that a purer Patriot never
breathed the free air of Heaven, and moreov-
er few men can scent out evil upon the polit-
ical liorisou sooner than he. . Always conser-
vative ln his feelings and actions, an old line
Whig of the Clay and Webster stamp, his
opinions at this time are entitled to the more
weight and consideration by every friend of
those great departed leaders. With a full
consciousness of these facts we are sure every
man, especially those now proposing to throw
away their votes on a third candidate, will
read his letter. which we publish today. with
the utmost lnlei-est. We follow his letter also
by another from Roger S. Baldwin.
Buchanan and Fillmore Lies-
Our town isbeing flooded by the Buchanan

Know Nothing.

thrusting into the hands of’ the piissers by.

shall he be? I say unliesitatingly,
John C. Fremont. I know him inti-
mately. I pronounce him well qualifi-
ed and worihy of all confidence. His
cause is that of a lofty, generous, patri-
mic and truly national conservatism.
There is no possible avenue open for the
restoration of the peace of the country
but by electing Col. Fremont to the
Presidency.
It is now certain that the adherents
and promoters of the mischievous-na_v,
wicked—policy of the present Adminis-
tration, will have a majority in the two
Houses of tI'lB next Congress; and
should Mr. Buchanan be elected, it may
be written down as certain that, within
two years from the 4th of March next,
Kansas will be delivered up to the Mo-
loch of Slavery. She will be brought
into the Union as a Slave State. Shall
this he submitted to without a struggle?
Shall we not rebuke the monstrous per-
fidy of repealing the Missouri Compro-
mise? Shall we not chastise the hum-
berless outrages committed in Kansas’!
Shall the elective franchise in that un-
happy Territory be violated with impu-
nity? Shall Border Ruflians invade
with the bowie-knife and revolver, and
elect a spurious Legislature, only to en-
act a code of laws more infamous, if
potsible, than the Border Ruflians them-
selves? Shall the Missouri River, one
of the great highways of the nation, be
blocked up as against the lovers of Free-
dom, and be open only to the votaries of
Slavery? Shall the army of the United
States he used only to oppress the free
State settlers, to disarm and disperse
their forces, and to arrest and hold them
in custody as felons, for no other crime
than exercising the sacred right of self-
defencef What Border Ruffian has
been arrested ?—-what perpetrator of
robbery. arson, rape, and even murder '2
Not one ! I repeat, there is not a hope
for Kansas, but in electing Fremont.
In James Buchanan we shall have only
an elongation of Franklin Pierce, and
what an administration! God save the
Republic! Besides. not only is Kansas
to be sacrificed, but our government is
to be converted into an engine for the
propagandism of Slavery over this con-
nnenn
Depend upon it, the subjugation of
Kansas is not to be the last of outrages.
Even now preparation has been made
for the introduction of Slavery into
Nicaragua, and ere long the whole of
Central America is to be annexed. In
short, we are at no remote day to be
brought under the iron hoof of the Slave
Power, unless we make a stand now and
say by the election of Col. Fremont,
“Hitherto shalt thou come, and no fur-
that.” I am no Aboliiionist—never
was, and never expect to be. 4 ‘I sin sim-
ply a non-extensiouist. I take precisely
the ground assumed by Thomas Jeffer-
son and Henry Clay. I am, and ever
have been, opposed to the unnecessary
introduction of this exciting topic into
the two Houses of Congress. All my
instincts are national ; I am willing to
let slavery alone-—-if it will be content
with its present limite——but- when its
Southern votaries join Northern dema-
gogues to break up compromises, to vio-
late their faith plighted three times over,
and to embark in the business of giving
to slavery an indefinite extension, I am
on hand for resistance. I pay no more
attention to the threats of disunion
which come up from the South, than I
do to theidle wind. I believe there is
hemp enough in every Southern State—
and patriotic hands enough to apply it-
to do ample justice to these traitors in
language, and poliroons in heart and in
conduct
I want peace—peace in Congress and
peace throughout our borders--but there
can be no peace upon the principle of
slavery extension. Let Kansas‘ be ad-
mited as a Free State, and let us have
practically the benefit of the Missouri
Compromise, and I will forgive the re-
pesl—I will be content; but I now give
notice that if the South shall, in viola-
tion of all faith, and by the most unhel-
lowed meaus.subdue Kansas into slavery,
I shall Csist the aggression of the slave
poweras long as God allows me a quar-
ter of a leg to stand on.
Fellow citizens, do your duty at the
polls. The recent insignificant suc-
cesses of our opponents in Pennsylva-
nia I deem of no moment, and am
satisfied from late and reliable advices,
that the State will give its electoral
vote in November for Fremont and
Dayton. I will not doubt that our
good old Commonwealth will then, as
ever, be true to herself and to those
great principles which lie at the foun-
dstion of our Government. _

Speech before the Young Men's Fremont

which have been convened in Norwalk. Al‘
though the Buckeye Orator was physically
overcome by previous labors, so much so in-

a formal speech, yet he continued to interest
his audience for more than two hours, and
closed f'roni sheer exhaustion. He has prom-
ised, if it. is possible to arrange previous cu-

he come due notice thereof will be given by

Letter from Ilawley Olsnstead to
his Friends in Wilton.
The venerable Hawley Oluislead, of New
Haven, for ‘any years a resident of Wilton,
was urgently invited by his many friends to
pay the town of his nativity a visit, and ad-
dress its citizens upon the important issues so
deeply involved in the approaching Presiden-
tial contest. The following is his letter,
which we have solicited for publication :-
Nsw Hsvsn, Oct. 20, 1856.
Dear Sir : The service to which some
of my Wilton friends have invited me,
and! whose wishes you have so kindly
expressed, lies somewhat without my
sphere. Yet, so fearful is the issues, I
should be strongly tempted to undertake
it. did notgthe state of my health abso-
lutely forbid.
My political creed is rigidly concise.
It consists of one fact and one duty. The
fact is, the slave power is fully and des-
perately resolved to make slavery a na-
tional institutiou, to extend it to the free
States no less than to the territories.
It is the duty of the free States, alike
to Kansas. to themselves, to humanity,
and to God, to prevent it at all haz-
ardr.
All former issues have become com-
paratively unimportant. The issue of
the times now is, Freedom or Slavery,
not whether slavery shall exist within
its constitutional limits; but whether
we and our posterity shall be‘ slaves.
The danger to the country arises not
from the inherent strength of the slave
power solely or chiefly, but from the re-
cent apostasy of the Northern Democ
racy from their former principles, who
have been drawn by ambitious leaders
into an open and avowed alliance with
this power. A sample of the fruits of this
alliance have been gathered during the
administration of Franklin Pierce, and a
more abundant harvest of the same kind
may be expected under his predicted
successor.
Democrats call upon us to aid them
in saving the Union, respecting the
safety of which they manifest great ap-
prehension. Who brought theUuion into
danger i Democrats and the doctrine of
extension enforced. Do they expect to
save the Union by enslaving it? From
oppressed and, outraged Kansas the
blood of freemen unrighteously shed
under the auspices of the National Ex-
ecutive, is crying to heaven for ven-
geance. The, atrocious and diabolical
work we cannot aid, and thus become
partakers of oiher’s sins.
Americans also call upon us to save
the Union from foreigners and the Ru.
mieh Hierarchy. Formidable evils these
may be ; but far less formidable and
unjust than slavery. Had the American
platform contained a guaranty against
°1‘¢fl5l0|l3 had it spoken in (it terms of
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
—the great crime against the peace and
liberties of the nation,—- its adoption
might have been safe and wise; but as
such guaranty is wholly wanting, it
falls far below the exigency of the
times. Let Republicans say to their
American brethren. help us to conquer
the greatest of possible evils, and we
shall be found ready to do what our pat-
riotism inuy require.
The conflict has began. It will never
cease till liberty or sjavery has fallen.
Like all other despotism it is jealous,
restless and aggressive. Noninu.r-
ference will not satisfy it. Concession
upon consession has but emboldened it,
until infatuation, such as God sometimes
sends upon those he‘ purposes to destroy,
has seized upon it. It now audaciously
demands its universal esfsblislimeni.
Let freeman answer as freeman dare.
To him who etandeth in the congre-
gation of the Mighty, who judgeih
among the Gods. let the heart of every
patriot, in this day of rebuke and blue-
phemy, turn with humble confidence and
say, -“save thy people, bless their inher-
itance, feed them also, am,‘ lift them up
forever. .
Respectfully yours,

Ni-zw HAVEN, Oct. 20, 1856.
Dear Sir: Your letter of the l8lh,
inviting me in behalf of the friends of
Col. Fremont. to aildress the citizens
of Hartford and the neighboring towns
on the great issues involved in the
[Wilding l‘res'nlemial canvass, I had the
honor to receive this morning. Deeply
sympatliizing, as I «lo, with my fellow-
citizens in whose be-linlf you made this
request, in their earnest desire to viii.
dicme and innintain the great. principles
embodied in the truly national and con.
stiunional platform of the convention
which nominated Col. Fremont, and
to which he has so cordially and pa“-'..
orically responded, I regret that it will
not be in my power to comply with
your invitation.
Having united with many citizens
hitherto attached to different party or.
ganizations in the public call of the
State Convention, which ratified the
nomination of Col. Fremont for the
Presidency, and of VVilliam L. Dayton
for the Vice Presideucy—in the ability
and patriotism of both of whom I have
the fullest c0nfidencc—I need not say to
you that I ardemly desire their success.
The principles which will be estab-
lished by their election are such as I am
fully persuaded will tend most effec-
tually to promote, as they did in the
earlier periods of our government, the
peace. prosperity and union of the peo-
ple of this great Republic and to the
States which compose it. They are the
same, as Well in respect to foreign as [0
our domestic policy, for which I earn-
estly contended during the struggles of
1848-49 and ’50; and which, but for
the lamented death of President Taylor,
instead of being surrendered, under the
specious name of a compromise. I have
ever believed would then, in a spirit of
patriotism and justice, have been firmly
and permanently confirmed and estab-
lislied.
I am, wilh great respect,
Your friend and fellow-citizen,

NEW YORK Oct. 23. 1856.
MR. Enrron. The Election is close at
hand. and I would now urge upon all
republican volersin your State and every
State in this Union, the importance ofa
united determined opposition to the
fu riher encroachmems of Slavery. by
the election of Fremont, There is no
time to be lost. Let speakers and orators
oppsed to the further Slavery extension,
employ every nioment of the precious
time now remaining in advocating the
glorious cause of Freedom and Fremont.
Let ratification meetings be held in
every town and village in your State.
Let New Canaan, Wilton, Georgetown,
Ridge-field, Reading. Bethel, Danbury,
and every village and Hamlet in your
good old State lift their voices in oppo-
sition to the tyrannical meaures of the
present administration, which a large
majority ofthe people of Pennsylvania
have decided shall be carried out by
James Buchanan, or the Cincinatti Plat-
form as he calls himself. To Mr. O. S.
Ferry your State is under lasting obli-
gations for his exertions in the cause.
It seems as though he was flying from
one part of the State to another, hardly
taking time to rest. The Fillmoreites
of this city had a great demonstration
night before last. The speakers were
Hon. Il- H. Stuart of Va., David Paul
Brown, Dr. Cox, John Bullock and
others.‘ 1 could bear but very little
however, the talking and laughing being
so incessant as to prevent those nearest.
to him from hearing. Dr. Cox of Mary-
land, made a rather fair address, the
principal words which could be heard,
were “ That Americans shall rule
America,” a great saying among the
American Party. There were four
stands erected for speakers, which were
in and around Union Square, and so
near each other that in person could hear
all four speaking at intervals. The
meeting broke up at a late hour, amid a
great display of Fire Works. Colonel
Fremont left the city a few days ago, on
a trip through the northern part of this
State. He returned on Friday passing
Burlington, Rutlainl, and other places,
and meeting with the most enthiisiastic
reception. At Ponghkeepsie, it is said,
a young mechanic proposed exchanging
caps with Mr. Fremont, which was ac-
complished to the memment of the as-
sembled spectators. A number of gen-
tlemen of this city and State have pub-
lished an appeal to the electors of_ this
State, which I hereto annex.
The Election in New York.
Address of the Central Committee to

tee of the republican party take this oc~
casion to remind the electors of the
Stale of the great interests dependipg
upon the election of the 4th of Novem-
ber, and the importance of immediate
and continued effort till ,t_l_ie elpclion is

er slavery may be imposed upon a tem-
tory by force and fraud against the wish-
es of its people. The party of Mr. Bu-
chanan hold the laws which have fasten-

upon the re-establishment of slavery on

tify Slavery. These are butforeshsdows
of what is to come. The prospect is
surely enough to arouse freemen to the
exertion of every faculty and the use of
every lawful means till the election is
passed.

cing and inducing their followers to
coalesce. Already they present‘ the
same local tickets in several of our coun.
ties,
It is but too evident that the hopes of
freedom depend upon the republicans
alone. Let us prove ourselves worthy
of the cause and the occasion. We ask
their country and think that the gov-
ernment, which our fathers founded,
should not degenerate into an instrument
for the propagation of human servitude
-all who think that a public question
once honorably compromized should not
be wantonly reopened—-all who think
slavery an evil, moral, political or social,
which should not be extended; and all
who think slavery a good but that it
should not be imposed by force or fraud
upon an unwilling people. They alone
can consistently vote against us who
think slavery so great a good as tojus-
tify any means whatever for its exten-
sion.
We entreat republicans, one and all,
to labor incessantly from the present
time till the close of the election. We
ask them to see that the republican or-
ganization is perfected in every town
and school district ; that every republi-
can voter is brought to the polls; that
every person is challenged who ofll.-rs
to vote and is not known to be a legal
voler; and forthe purpose of concen-
tration, encouragement and concert of
action, we recommend that a republican
meeting be held in every town, on the
Saturday before election. Republicans!
be firm in purpose, iinceasing in effort,
vigilant against fraud, and you will
prevail. [Signed by the Republican
