opposed the rights and interest Of the labor
er, and e~ndeavored to degrade him in his
political and moral condition, they will rally
around the standard of Democracy, as they
rallied around it when it was borne to victory
by Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and Jackson,
remembering that he who bears 1t now is
the son Of a laborer, born and brought Up to
the pursuits Of industry; who, under the bles.
sings of our free institutions, by devoting the
mighty energies off giant mind to the int.
rests tof the industrious classes, has been
raised by their will to the highest station on
earth.
We have thus presented to you some oil
the leading principles and measures of the
two great political parties. The election in
November will decide which are to prevail
and become the permanent policy of the
Government. A more important question
has never been presented to the American
people. Let it be fully understood, and we
have no fear Of the result.
But TO have it understood, means must be
used. There must be ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
persevering effort. Though truth in mighty,
MEANS must be used 10 spread it-UNKNowh,
IT IS BUT A SLEEPING GIANT. We would ex-
hort our brethren, then, throughout the State,
to be up and doing. Ii our cause is worthy
of an effort, it is worthy of our best efforts.
Every one has some influence; let that influ-
ence be exerted. Every Democrat should
buckle on his whole armor, resolved not to
lay 1t aside until the campaign is ended and
victory achieved.
The Democratic party can carry the cleo
ton in this State in November. Facts JUS
tify the assertion. The Federal party, in
the late election, used exertions which it can
not exceed. Its utmost strenth has been ex-
hlblted, augmented as it has been by the fac
tlons before mentioned. But in almost every
town in the State, numbers of Democrats:
voters can be counted, relied, upon, who
were not at the polls. There is not a coun-
ty IN the State, in which We had not a suf-
ficlent number absent, TO have determined
the election in our favor by a decisive ma.
jorlty. These were too confident Of our
strength. and were induced by this, and the
violent storm which prevailed in the east
ern portion of the State, TO stay at home on
the day of election. Their vote, it was
supposed, could not be needed. That deIu-
sion has passed away. The importance of
one vote is now seen and felt, and these men
are burning for an opportunity to make a.
mends for former remissness, and to show
their fidelity and attachment to the Demo
cratic cause.
Again, it will be perceived that the whole
number of votes. at the late election, ex-
coed those thrown in 1888, only about 1900;
when, if we reckon upon the regular ratio OF
increase in the population, the increase in the
votes should nave Teen not less
than 5000. This difference of 1850 could
not have been composed of FeneraIists. for
they were all NJ the polls. The deficit. then.
was composed of Democrats. whose attend.
ance at the polls NAV safely be calculated
upon at the next election. The Democracy
CAN carry the election in November.-I
THAT WILL no 1T. Doing their duty. thew
will do 1t by majority Of at least three
thousand, and thus redeem themsel yes in the
of their Democratic brethren
Throughout the Union. and provide a source
Tor happy reflection for the remainder of their
ives.
