The blast Of the enemy's bugle is again neard on our
hills aud in our plains-the cannon OF Whlggery ID
,hundering al our gates. while too many OF US are en-.
gaoed in a snicidul contest, not for the principles by
which we shall be regulated, but for the mere man who
shall carry them out; forgetting tina, our hTst duty IS 10
the cause, and that we have in our ranks, scores OF
men who would dignity and adorn any station, and
faithfully and honestly carry out the cherished princi-
pies of the party. +.
The gallant State of Georgia, which, in the pride OF
her Democratic strength, but a few months since, put
Whiggery to fight throughout all her borders, eleclng
an entire delegation TO Congress OF the true faith, has
suddenly given The Wings a signal triumph in the
election ola Governor, two Congressman, and decided
maiori,ies in both branches of the Legislature. This
disastrous result is attributed 10 divisions and jealousIes
unhappily existing among the Democracy oil the State
divisions and iealousies which, if permitted longer to
exist, may doom Georgia 10 permanent Federal miSrule
Bank, Tariff, Distribution and ALL,
In Ohio, too, there has lately been much wran9iing
among onr friends, and the result is but too plainly TO
be seen in the election returns which we are now dally
receiving. SO far as heard from, we have lost one or
two members Of Congress, five or ak members of the
LIE pislature, and two or three thousand IN the popular
yote-all on account of 4 dlsaffection Of a portion of
the Democracy of certain districts, caused by the no
mlnation of candidates who were not their CHOICE. II
the day has gone against u, this time, the result IS at
tributable to the bad discipline of our iorces-nnt 10
the enemy's superior numbers. Let the Republicans of
Ohio 90 into the Presidential canvass with their wonted
and enthusiasm, and they will carry the
State against Clay with ease. In the language OF her
lamenled Lyle, s'Ohio is = slumbering giant this year
at the touch Of a .Nagician'S wand may she ncIt year
start up, and in the full vigor of her mighty energies
show NIL her muscle" The reader may take Cass, or
Van Buren,, or any Republican,, who may be our party
nominee, for The "Magician."
We might also speak Of the bad effects of want of
harmony IN our ranks in Pennsylvania, where two or
three Wings have been elected to Congress, beating,
in each case, two professed Democrats-but we forbear,
our object being to address 4 few remarks TO our friends
nearer home.
Democrats Of Virginia.! DO you not perceive, that
the Wings are in ecstasies al the prospects OF our di-
visions? Let US not underrate their strength: nor over
rate our own. +. is true, we can conquer by undivided
councils-by "a long pull, strong pull, and a pull all
together But we have neither strength nor numbers
to throw away. Remember, that they surprised our
camp in 1910, aud let us take care that they do not
fall upon US IN like manner agnin, while we are en-
gagged in a foolish discussion of the merits and dement's
of the men who have been proposed as "s,nndard bear
ers' of our forces. Let US remember, that we were
beaten BY the receptions and frauds of the Wings in
1910. That was their fault. But ~"fore warned, we
OUGHT to be "forearmed, and if we are again beaten
it will be our fault. Then arouse, Democrats of Vr
rinia! Draw your swords and strike for your cause and
your country-and cease your unworthy disputes about
men.
We perceive, with much pleasure, that the Demo.
Gratis of Richmond have commenced the work OF or
ganization for the grea, contest of lS44, by establish.
ing an Association III that city. Let the Democracy OF
the country also commence the work Of organization
with the right spirit and determination. LIE, a Demo
cratic Association be established alongside of every
Clay Club, and we need entertain no fear as TO the eff.
feet of Wing organization in the Old Dominion.
In this region, our opponents are not idle. In Am
herst they are unusually active, having already esta-
blished one # not two Clubs-and made arrangements
for a magnificent "Jollifcation, which "comes off n,
the Courthouse to-day. They boast, that the county
shall be theirs mex, Spring. Are the Democracy OF
Amherst sup and Il doing:" II they have not COM
lose. "a word 10 the wise is sufficient"
We respectfully sugges,,o the Republicans OF Camp
bell, the proprie,y OF holding a meeting at their Court
House on the Cd Monday of November, for the purpose
of having a free and familiar consultation on matters
pertaining to the ensuing Presidential election.
