Conscious Of the spirit of patriotism and rnalte rable
devotion TO the cardinal principles of the Democratic
creed, anma,ing the breasts OF those whom they have
appointed, it needless to attempt impressina
more wildly upon their minds that duty which they
owe to their party, TO their principles and TO them
selves.
What it fate has placed IN the strongest OF the
Federal Disricts--that whose Electoral Vote never
was-most probably will be, given i'll accordance
with the sentiments Of the "nobe old Communicating
is that sufficient why little band of Democrats
should abandon those principles, by whose G,pu!siye
power America was freed from tyrants yoke: Shall
assert, that in hopeless minority nothing can be
effected, and adopt it salyo to our conscences Tor
deserving the faith of fathers, and amalgamatng
with party entertaining. in common with Us, no one
political principle? The Federal candidates may be all
their party desire doubt not they are bu, what
have we do with contests the camp oil the enemy:
are we (arrogatng to ourselves undue umprcship)
decide between them and choose the least Of evils:
This is impractcable. it is our duty, "to foster .
spirit olindependence too just TO invade the rights OF
others, too proud To surrender our own, too liberal to
indulge unworthy pre- udIces ourselves, and too elevat
ed not to look down upon them i'll others With that

action not Only from The Precinct Committees, but
from carh and erery member OF the Democratic party.

papers.
To the Democratic I'ottrs of Loudoun and Fdirtaz
Fellow. citizens Acting in accordance with the dis
cretionary authority vested IN us by The Democracy OF
Loudoun we have, after full and deliberate conside
ration of the subject decided TO nominate Democra
tic candidate for the Senate, and three Democratic
d!a,es for the House of Delegates II is true, there
were ,mo candidates already announced for the Senate
both uncompromisng Fedcral'sis-hoth equally OPP
posed and hostile 10 the principles OF Democracy, and
therefore, both equally obnoxious TO the Democratic
voters Of the district Under these circumstances,
deeminr il unwise and impoiic TO obge the Demo
crafts i'm the absence of candidate OF their own, TO
vote for man whose political tenets were in direct
conflict with theirs and to participate in the prrudIces
and feelings of party quarrel in relation to which both
prudence md policy would enon them to observe RI
gid neutrality considered II duty due you as well as
ourselves to nominate entertaining and profess
iny the same political principles not with the hope,
however or even the desire of profting BY division
in the Federal ranks but solely with the view of having

might conscienously cast their suirages And IN this
tod, al IaI

trines tanonsca TO their own; for notwithstanding
the Democracy of Loudoun number nearly one third OF
the voters Of the county, and should therefore, upon the
grounds Of reason and justice, be entitled to one ohe
Delegates annually, yet experience teaches US that they
have not been represented IN eher oranch OF 'he L.
pslature by man OF their own party TO. years. AL
though our political opponents have, IN violation OF
every feelinr Of cancellation and compromise denied
us this equitable right Of sending at least enc Dele
gate yet they regard concession on our part rs duty,
and almost demand as their peculiar prerogative the
sole rrht ofnouinatnc candidates. We call upon you,
then fellow citizens, to come forward waving every
ncrsona feeling and sacrificing every consideration OF
kindred and affection on the altar ofyonr political creed,
and vote for none rho does not profess The same political
N tn with Yourselves Let follow that uncomproms-
inr partizan spirit, which has ever characterized the
course of the Federasts who hold that voting for po
opponent offence nmos, equal IN turPitude TO
the commission Of treason. Why, then, shonld we sup
port men who never have, ever will aid IN eectng
our candidates. We earnestly invoke you, IN behalf
Of the free institutions Of your country, whose i,ee-
dom and purity depend alone on The triumph of De,
mocra,c principles; we invoke you IN the name OF
J ,;erson Madison and Tayorthe great pillars IN the
church Of Democracy-to give your undivided aid and
support and to use all far end honorable means III
promoting the election Of the Democratic candidates
We would urge upon the committees the impor lance
of r0using the Democratic voters Of Their p5fa,n1's
polls on the day of election And although We may not
have the eradication of eecting our candidates we
will, nevertheless, enjoy the PROUD reflection OF
knowing that we aided not in eevating our political adj
versares but that it done contrary 10 our wishes
and without our sanction.
