A RALLYING- CRY. [From Punch.'] The local editor of a Western paper, during the recent political excitement and on election day, got up the following vigorous and patriotic address, to the independent voters of his town : VOTERS! Only a few hours will intervene before you will be called upon to exercise your rights as freemen, and ■ at the ballot box state your preferences for rulei’S and officers. BE PREPARED! don’t weak youu best clothes ! Patriotism doesn’t require the sacrifice of your other clothes for the sake of the Union. BOLL CP VOLTE THOWSEKS AND GO IN ! VOTE EARLY!!! VOTE FREQUENTLY!!! VOTE OFTEN!!! KEEP ON VOTING!!! When you get well known at one ward, go to another : but vote manfully, and for whom you like, and frequently—we insist, frequently ! don’t VOTE roil GENEEAL JACKSON ! For he is dead. RALLY! RALLY!! RALLY!!! TO THE POLLS! Save your country ! Have you wives and children? Vote that those orphans may enjoy hereafter the political privileges you are enjoying, and let not the traitor and the treason strike them down. If they do bit back—our whole human nature calls on you to hit back. We need not suggest hitting hard when you hit. See that the infirm are brought to the polls in one-horse waggons. Don't put the beggars on l horseback—we need not remind our readers where they will go. VOTE UNTIL SUNDOWN!!! DON’T LOSE A CHANCE! PUT IN ALL TH!f VOTES YOU CAN!!! GO IT! GO IT!! GO IT!!! Swear in your votes! If you can’t swear your votes in, swear at the inspectors of election. Have a swear at somebody at all events. VOTE ALWAYS! Never mind your dinner or supper, but stay at the polls and vote. DRINK CONSIDERABLY! The more you drink, the better you will feel. Moreover, the candidates pay for the liquor. See , that there’s none left over, therefore. In conclusion, we would say, CONTINUE VOTING ALL DAY!!! By recent calculations made at Greenwich,;the sun is found to be three millions of miles, nearer , the earth than previous calculationsTiaye made it." ; THE:PiEXS' PaDeeS:‘-i-Sh6rt : dresses'. are. comirig into fashion, and next winter nothing ’eke will be seen in the grand salons of Paris.
