A LAST APPEAL.
FRIENDS Or FREEDOM !—The
Fourth of November is upon us,
and the great event of that day
will base transpired before ive can
again have the privilege of asking
you to stand by the flag of Liber
ty. Therefore heed ye what we
say, and act, that ye may have the
glory of an imperishable victory.
Remember that in the local elec-
tion you gave a majority' of-143
on the State Ticket-4et it be
your aim to increase those figures
to 600 for
FAEMOT & FREEDOM !
The Ballot Box is your sove
reig.nty, and it is but fair that you
should wake every effort to main
tain its supremacy. Our oppo
nents appeal to. the Southern
dogma of disunion 'in hopes of
co-ercing you to ;dote for their Pre
eminently Southern candidates,
That dogma aims to wrest from
you the privilege of Free Speech,
Free Press, Free Men and a Free
Ballot Box ! Let each and every
vote cast on the 4th of November
be a rebuke to, treason and ty
ranny. Let the voice" of Frk
Men sound the death-knell of im
pure government, and let your
Votes be each an anthem to the
imperishable principles of Wash
ington, Madison, Henry, Adams
. .
and Jackson. •
Let those principles which
caused our forefathers to renounce
the tyranny of Great Britain act
uate you to resist the arrogance
of the Southern Nullifiers and
their Northern Doughfaee Allies.
Let the threat of " we will subdue
you," be rebuked as only freemen
know hOw to rebuke—at the bal
lot-box. Let it be made .mani
fest that 350,000 . aristocrats can
net, shall not and will not rule
13,N0,090 of freemen who 'are
-not ashamed to earn the bread
they eat by honorable industry.
Let this be the death-blow to
Southern monarchism and threat
ened white Slavery. Ye that vote
for Fremont, vote

blow. An increase of three votes
in each township in the . State will
overcome . the 2,7Q0 majority
which the Shamo,prapy tkave ob
tattled on the State-ticket. -
- Therefore let your aim be to
increase the Republican' vote in
each township so as to make your
prOportion of the majority offset

Friends of Freedom in Potter,

voters to vote for their country
and for its truest friends--JOHN
C . .PREMONTSE,WILIAKNI
DAYTON!L. . •
Freetuen wisdom of our
•
forefathers is about to be tram :
pled upon by the fanatacism of
Southern Aristocrats and North
ern Demagogues—the Constitu
tion of our common country is
about to be-sacrificed to- the am
bition of a, professed friend, hut
who is the merest sycophant at
the shrine of Slavery; who smiles
complacently on the hemous
crimes of Border Rultanism, and
who is pledged to maintain, in •01
. its glaring magnitude of crime
'the obnoxious administration ofl
Franklin Pierce, which is so faSt
leading our country to the brink
of Disunion. Will you vote for
'the distneinherrnent of our glori 7
Gus Union ? Then vote for.james
Buchanan. Will you yield to the
arrogant assumption of those who
,are living by the sweat of your;
brows—by the genius of your
minds,by the pr6ducts of your
factories, and by the taxes which
you pay ? • Then vote for James;
Buchanan, the patron of southern
Aristoreats, and their true and
tried leader.
The issue before you .noty
simply, ‘ Shall the curse orslave
ry be further extended and fos
lered in this land of Liberty—ill
this, (in all other respects) model
nepublic 1" The voice Qt the
people is now invoked to rescue
us from the impending danger.
The spirit of liberty must be sus
tained z4ow, or for all time- to
come - the blight -will be entailed
upon I.l§. •
'Therefore, we call upon all who
reverence the wisdom of our fore
fathers—who love the prin.ciples
of Equality, Fraternity, and their
deare4 rights—who • deSire the
continuance, of our Republic, and
would save it from a' deSpotism
more glaring than tnat of Austria
—who would' preserve that sa
cred- boo,n so dearly bought by
the blood of our fathers--7to vote
the Union Filectorial Ticket as
presented in another column.
Vote for Fremont and Dayton,
the peoples candidates.
Below, with the necessary explan,a
don, we givo the Uoion Electoral
Ticket which , was adopted by the
Union Convention, at Harrisburg, on
Tuesday, O. 21. We have on hand
•
a supply of them for the electors of
this county, and we hope the friends
of the cause will procure them, and
distribute them well in theit districts,
Dc sure to have enough—we have an
abundant supply :
