M'Clellan & Pendleton One flag & one country The Central Democratic McClellan Club, in accordance with the wishes of the people, have fixed upon Wednesday, November 2, at 10 o'clock, A.M., for holding a grand mass meeting, in Doylestown, to which they cordially invite their brethren from Northampton, Lehigh, Montgomery, Philadel'a, as well as our New Jersey friends! Come one, come all Come in your strength, as your fathers came in the days of Jackson and Polk; come in delegations of hundreds and thousands, with your wives, your daughters and sweethearts; come with your big teams, your small wagons, your carriages, on horseback and on foot; come with your banners, your flags and hickory poles. Come as white freemen! to rejoice over the victory won in October last, come prepared to strike the death blow on November eighth to Lincoln despotism. Lincoln debts, Lincoln taxes, Lincoln drafts, Lincoln war, death, misery, and Lincoln misrule in general, so that, God willing, peace and prosperity, the Union, Constitution, and liberty, may at an early day, again bless the states and the people. There will be a grand procession, with bands of music, and the thirty-four states will be represented by a cavalcade of ladies!! The committee have secured the Doylestown exhibition grounds, where teams can be driven for safety. Arrangements have been made there to feed horses, aad [sic] men will be in readiness to give attention to all that drive to that place. Oats will be furnished at $1 per bushel. List of speakers: Gov. Parker [sic], Hon. John Van Buren, Hon. Samuel S. Cox, Hon. William H. Witte, Hon. Hester [sic] Clymer, Hon. Wm. A. Wallace. October 26, 1864
