The above arc the only ap pointments that will be afforded him in Lincoln and Gaston. He will be glad to meet his friends and fellow citizens, at the above places. We sincerely hope that the abofc call may be attended ta bj every voter in the district who maj see it ; and particularly by every democrat in Lincoln. There never was a time, perhaps, when the occasion required more active exertion on the part of the re publican voters., Rouse np, then, democrats, and rtin!ain yottf ground in Lincoln. We sometimes hear Whigs boasting that Lincoln is destined to become a Whig county. Do you- believe it, democrats ? Do you think it possible ? Will you suniit to it ? No, no, no ! is the enthusiastic response. Rut, to prevent it, you must not slumber. Some of you are scarcely aware how stealthi ly Whiggcry is endeavoring to steal a march on you. Turn out, then, turn out ! Repair to the places appointed, and the brave Capt. Caldwell will tell you something that, while It astonishes, will nerve every one of you to make greater exertions than ever in the good old cause. Never through supineness, let a political battle be lost in .Lincoln. Never, under whatever specious pretense, allow a Whig to triumph, that ho may laugh at your folly, and his brethren all t nrround make merry over your defeat I Listen not to the siren song of no-party- whiggery, until, caught in the jaiare they have so carefully prcjred, you become the subjects of their triumphant and heartless ridicule. Remember how they proclaimed taylor to lie a no-jntrty caudidutey and how they wheedled many houest republicans to support him ; and then turned round and laughed in their faces, while they rejoiced over what they called a Whig victory ! Do not be caught napping again turn out and hear Caldwell bring 3-our whole force to 1 the 1 dhi, and vote for none but democrats not for a -jtrty democrat ; but an upright, consistent, moderate, sensible democrat, who will be faithful toyouriutercsts, and who will lalr to preserve our free institutions in their pristine purity.
