"1hus you the mark is struck, the day IS ours.
The Democratic flag unfurled in November last has
been nailed to the topmast. Once more has the town
of Petersburg the honor OF sending Democratic Re-
preventative the State Legislature, and likewise the
honor of being the only Democratic town in the Com
monwealth! Too long have the Democrats OF feters-
burg been sleeping their ar.ns-too long have tey
rested in their tents while the enemy has been forging
chains and arranging their gnotine; but at length
awakened by the encroachmens of their wouo.oe mas
ers they have been called into action fought for their
liberties the Constitution, the glorious work OF our Ia
thers and notwithstanding the most powerful resist

and county in the good Old Dominon-Then indeed
might hope to see the wheels OF Government piaceo
upon The right track To do this no period could be
more appropriate than the. present. Freed from the
overshadowng and overriding influence of Nationa
Bank free from burdensome public debt, and the 1 a.

10 the earlier days Of the Republic, take fresh start
and carry the principles of tho Constitution and
the true wishes and intentions OF the trainers OF mat
glorious chart of liberties Yet hope the day is
not far distant when the Democracy of this good Old
Commonwea h may raise their State Right Consttu- |
tonal flag in every and county of the State and
exclaim, as their brethren Of Petersburg now do,
"Forcver float that standard sheet!
Where breahes the foe hut falls before US,
With freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And freedoms banner streaming DER u.s."
