The Liberty papers We contend not for ourselves or country solely, but for the race and the world. We fight for that liberty which will enable a man, surrounded by his aged parents, his wife, and little ones, to "sit under his own vine and fig tree, no one daring to molest or make afraid." The liberty papers will be published occasionally, during the war, at one cent a number. They will contain some of the leading events, patriotic songs, &c., &c., and may be had of the leading news dealers. Liberal discount to the trade No. 1

Mass meeting! Mayor's Office, Newport, Aug. 7, 1862. I invite the citizens and visitors of Newport and the adjoining towns, to meet on Touro Park, in this city, Monday afternoon, Aug. 11th, at 4 o'clock, p.m., for the purpose of adopting such measures as may be deemed expedient for the purpose of sustaining the administration in this time of the nation's most imminent peril, and subduing the wicked and fearful rebellion. Distinguished gentlemen will address the meeting. Existence without nationality is worthless indeed; geographically and otherwise the United States of America can never be divided, without endless civil war. We must, therefore, arouse in our power and preserve our nationality, by crushing the insurrection and preventing foreign intervention. I suggest to our citizens the propriety of closing their places of business, in order to give all in their employ an opportunity to attend the meeting

Vote for Charles Brown, and you will discover how he tried to sleep with Buchanan how Buchanan repulsed him; how he then turned over to Douglas; denounced Breckenridge, established a Douglas Club at the corner of Fifth and Chestnut Streets, in Philadelphia; advocated the Douglas split in the Baltimore convention, and how now at last he finally turns up in Delaware the candidate of Dixie, secession and disloyalty! Vote for Charles Brown, and he will explain the ludicrous process by which he craftily managed to get from President Franklin Pierce, a fat 30,000 dollar Philadelphia office. 30,000 dollars. 30,000 dollars. Vote for old Charles Brown, and he will explain how a man of honor can remain within the Union lines, advocate secession, take the Union oath, and electioneer to represent Delaware in the loyal Congress of the United States, at a time like this, when Jeff Davis wants his services in Dixie. Attention! Men of the lodges, grand commanders, knights templar and knights of the camp:---K.G.C. See ye that knights of less degree, squires and servitors, accolytes and neophytes, one and all vote the ticket. The Iscariot, Arnold, Jeff Davis and Vallandigham lodges will lead off.
