WIDE AWAKE-NECEsSITY TO BAFFLE
THE MONARCHIES OF THE OLD WORLD.
Tho Democracy must DO wide awake II must
meet the difficulties of the times with the untllnch'ns
energy without when success Is sridom achieved -
The prospects are highly cheering, but let not one
Democrat remain from the polls on that account
Let him make assurance doubly sure.
II must keep lis eyes, it has heretofore done, on
the designs Of England We have heard much about
Texas land jobbes. Why, the debts due to the Eng
lish By the Mexican Government, induce them TO
look out for the most convenient spot wherein to buy
up large territory, to satisfy these claims in part
They amount to eighty millions of dollars. The
English debtors are willing the Government entering
into guarantee OF the title, to receive Ieras land scrip
in payment Of at least half Of these claims. Where are
the great land jobbers1 Are they not in Great Br-
tain The resources of our land jobbers are on
small scale compared with hers. Where ours can
WELD tens of thousands, they have command of hun
dreds of thousands. Where weld shillings,
they WELD pounds.

"Only imagine a man acting for one single day on
the superstition that all his neighbors believe all that
they profess, and ACT up TO what they believe. Ina
