-The present is anportaal crisis n our cnterpriso of redoemjng the Stale from pros!avery influence3. - Let us all put shoulder to the wheel, and it will go fimvürJ. Should we 6iicceed in giving a large vote for tho liberty ticket, it .will teil eOectualIy on the in'.erests of our cau.e, as well as on the immediaie and future condition of both the poütical parües. Therc issuch a ihing as the balance of power in a natío or Siuío. It is nut a mere phrase -nor a figment - oor an abstraction - but an actual reality, and one ihat is novv with. in our reach.

Let them be personally applied as opportunity may offer. Look out for lies and perversión of treth without number about this time. it cannot have escaped observation that the adherents of one party have, or think they have, a deep interest in rendering our vote as email as possible. Conscquently no pains will be Bparcd to hinder as man y as they can from joining us. A word to the wtse in this cuse will be sufiicient.
