TUESDAY NEXT, is the State and County eVclion, and we again urge our Republican friends, to GO TO THE POLLS EARLY AND VOTE. Recollect, we have but one Poll in this Township, and to take all tho votes will require a corresponding degree of activity in both the Board of Election and the Electors; therefore do we thus urgently request our Republican friends to VOTE EARLY. The issue has been made up between the parties contending for tho supremacy the jury has been charged, and the verdict will be rendered on next Tuesday ; and whether for weal or for woe for the best interests of the common wealth, or the reverse, depends on that verdict Certain and sure it is that whatever may be the result, those who fail to 1 vote will have no right to complain.

It says that no person is required to show bis naturalization papers or declaration of intention. If challenged, the oath is all that is required, and is conclusive. And the Sentinel further saya that tlie Election Board have no right to ask questions, and especially that they have no right to question a person offering to vote as to the residence of hi family .' If this is not an : intimatiou that a person can vote in a different Township, or County, or State, from that in which Us family resides, what is it? If this' is not advising and encouraging persons to swear in their votes, even if their families reside elsewhere, what is it ? The drift of the Sentinel's article is, if your right to vote is doubted and you are challenged, don't stop to give proof ; don't stop to answer questions ; don't stop to parley, but swear in your vote, swear it in ; and if every one knows that you are not a legal voter, still your vote must be received and counted, and no one can help; himself. That the Sentinel article waswrit-j ten to meet the intended importation of illegal votes into the different Counties, is a matter' that does not admit of doubt. j There is no point better settled than that! the . c a : i . .. fm;i ;! bis own residence, and that no person who has a family, and that family has a fixed residence, can legally vote in a different Township therefrom. Let the Republicans of every Township guard the purity of the ballot box on the day! of election. Go to the Polls early, and re- j main there throughout the day. Lay not a straw in the way of any legal voter, but if , any person whom you know to be a non-res- j ident or who ia otherwise disqualified from j voting, offers his vote, challenge him. Be prepared to arrest the first person wno swears in an illegal vote, ani other jiersons having no legal right to vodkavUfat once understand that they will swear in their votes at their peril. Prevent illegal voting, and you will gain a glorious victory. Remember this, and be watahfoL

We were at Indianapolis at the State Convention, and stood within ten fejtof Kilgore, whilst he was speaking, and we heard nothing like those sentiments, which the Sentinel and Jeff, attribute to him, of opposition to foreigners.

Now, if this insignificant assemblage collected at the cock-loft in Richmond, constituted the body and soul of the democracy of the nation, then might we have some little hope that the party was in truth committed auainst this political keresy. But when we see the supporters of Buchanan in all the slave states, almost to a m, velwmently ad-! vocating the extension of slavery, and urging the claims of Buchanan because he is sound on the slave question, and when the only hope of electing him depends upon the vote of these same slave states, and when we see also, that not a national, state, county or township convention professedly democratic, through the whole length and breadth of the Union, have dared to pass a resolution disapproving slavery extension, we would naturally and

reasonbly conclude that Mr. J. and his cock-

loft auditors were themselves most egregious! y deceived or were shamefully attemptio to We lea re him in their hands actual changes and combinations that have ta ken, or are about to take place in the political world.

This has caused a commotion in the ranks of your pirty leaders, editors and speakers, and from the following extract, I should judge, also a change in their principles.

On the Ilh inst, we shall carry the Union ticket in this State by an overwhelming majorily. The name of tlie Democrats who are joining the Republican ranks in every part of of the State, is legion. Never before, since the days of Jackson, has there been such turning over. Last evening the old-line Democrats in favor of Fremont and Dayton h:;d an immense meeting at the County Court Hou-e, and speeches were made by J. hn M . Reed, Wiilard J. Duane, Heurv Brun -tier, Dennis O'Brien and W. A. Jackson. They rt solved to form themselves into a "Fremont Democratic Club," to promote the election of Fremont and Dayton, and recommended the Democrats in other parts of the Sta'e, to form sin-ilur associations without delay. More than one thousand Democrats attended, and tlie greatest harmony prevailed. Whilst Wm. J. Duane was sneaking, a great sensation occurred when he stated, that

The policy of the present Governor of Kansas, which "is real! r the policy of James Buchanan, is developed in an act which will be recognized at once by the people as the most villainous of the atrocities which fill the bloody pages of Kansas history.

Clat Pate My dear sir: I have just received vour favor of yesterday, suggesting anticipated difficulties in the counties ot Franklin and Lykins in this Teirilory, at the approaching election, and volunteering your services to raise a company to preserve the peace of those counties, and prevent disturbance at the polls. While thanking you most kindly for your sii''esfons, and lor your offer, 1 have to say murder in the hr.t degree, which you know. is not a bailable ottetice. Lhe preliminary investigation goes on. Every stage and conveyance into the Territory is crow ded with settlers returning to their claims from which they were driven by Lane. The Governor has issued his proclamation of the election for delegate to Congress; Gen. Whitfield will be returned. II. C. P. That this Pate should have the impudence to offer his services at the approaching election is paiticularly rich. For a long time he was Captain of a company of robbers in Kansas, and was at last taken prisoner at the immortal battle of Black Jack. He is ofthe class of folks called 'good men' by Gov. Geary. The commitment for murder of the Free State men. taken at Hickory Point, is a meaner outrage than any that has preceded it in the histo'y of Kansas. The "settlers returning to their claims," are Missourians rushing to the Territory to vote. ncv. J. B. Fialsy's Account of tho Ruf fianly Attck upon Ilim.
