IMPORTANT NOTICE.


TO THE DEMOCRACY OF THE UNION.
The Democratic Associations, the Hickory
and Young Hickory Clubs, and other Democratic
Clubs and Associations now organized, and which
may be hereafter organized throughout the Unit
ed States, are most respectfully and earnestly So
lcited if they have not already done so, to report
themselves without delay, by letter, post paid to
the Executive Committee of the Democratic As
sociation in Washington city, D. c. They are
requested to give the names of their officers, the
number of their members &c. &C. &c. Il is i'm
portant that this step should be taken to secure
more thorough and efficient organization of the
democratic party than exists, for these rea-
sons:
1st. That each association shall keep the other
we'll informed of the condition of parties
3D. That authentic and correct information may
be disseminated far and wide.
81. That the returns, whether of State or feder-
al elections may be circulated in form authentic
and official, and which can be relied upon by our
friends for any purpose, and especially to counter
act the false impressions which may be created by
the publication in the whig journals of the results
of elections.
It is already ascertainrd that that party have a
well organized system of falsehood, not only in
the publications of erroneous returns of elections
but by the publication of tracts and documents.
The whig and some of the neutral papers in every
section of the Union attend to the first branch of
the fraud, and the congressional Whig central
frankng committee at Washington are attending to
the latter, by publishing and disseminating one set
of opinions by Mr.. Clay for the South, and anoth
set for the manufacturing and abolition districts
of the North and West also documents for the
North making Mr.. Polk a frfetrade man, and
documents for the South making him tariff man.
These frauds have been detected in this city
therefore our friends to guard against
whig source, until substantiated by Information
derived from those whose effort will be not to de-
celve but to enlighten with the truth We do not !
hesitate to say that the election returns which have
been, and are being published in the Globe can !
be relied on by our friends for any purpose They
are as accurate unofficial returns can possibly |
be, some of which. from necessity, being copied /
from whig papers The official returns will be |
published in the Globe rs as they are receiv-
ed. When the organization proposed by this no. t
tce is complete, the facility for getting the correct
returns will be such as is desired. We appeal to
the democracy in those sections of country where
M associations exist to forthwith organize and
report in accordance with the above We make !
this appeal not from any doubt of the strength
of our cause, or that we have not the numbers
10 carry it on to victory We must not dcspise
the enemy however corrupt or weak they may
be; but knowing them 10 be weak and corrupt
should make us more vigiIant and active to guard
against the unfair and unjust means to which they
will from necessity resort TO cover their weakness
We can assure our friends that ne have no doubt
Polk and Dallas will be elected. We must
nevertheless, do our duty. We make the appeal
with another view: that channels NAV be estab-
lished through which can develop to the A
merican people of the most corrupt and villain
Gus schemes ever concocted by any party which
has been set on foot by whiggery to subjngate re-
publican liberty, and bring institutions down to
the footstool of the tyranny of the Old World. We
do not fear the scheme Its exposure will not on
ly defeat its object, but will overwheIm the men
and the party who conceived, and are attempting
to mature it, in nfamy so deep that the friends of
civil and religious liberty throughout the world,
to the remoes generations, will exccrate their We
ry names. When the organization is complete,
the exposure will be made, and their plan render
ed abortive. Therefore organize-organize forth
with-North, South, East and West
p S. This is to give notice to the democracy
that the whig central committee in this city are
publishing documents purportng to show the
votes of Mr.. Polk, which, in fact If they do not
in all cases actually falsify his votes, suppress
some of the facts connected Herewith, and give
fIlse aspect to them 1t will be the duty of the
democratic party in every section of the country
to discreditthese documents denounce them vile
whg SANDERS as they are, nsks suspension of pub-
lie opinion, and write Immediately to Washington
to the executive committee of the democratic as
socation to send the real facts in each case to he
derived from the Congressional archives as an.
thenticatcd by the clerk in charge of them.
