Wide-Awakes, Mark them.
It is evident to all of our citizens that our city is being rapidly colonized with the offscourings of our sister States, to overpower them at the polls on Tuesday next.
Some forty or fifty of these mercenary wretches were parading our streets last night until a late hour. The Wide-Awakes have their eyes on the scoundrels, and will make some of them—should they attempt to vote—pay dearly for their base attempt to prevent the citizens of this county from designating their own officers.
We would say to the Wide Awakes, mark them well, so that there can be no mistake, and on election day let them experience the effects of your watchfulness.
