our whD Dfriends particularly to s admonltions. The whigs must not think that because they have good cause, and because their opponents are apparently in despair, that they have nothing to do. They may depend upon it that this very despair will render them more determined to fight :he harder-that as this may be their last effort, it will be worthy of better cause.

Knowing that their cause will do nothing for them, they doing every thing for their cause whereas their democratic opponents are too apt to expect every thing from their cause. and do little or notking for themselves"
