sTime enough has now elapsed for The iorina-
ton of a reliable opinion rs 10 the prospects oil
the Democracy What We desired 10 ensure sue
cess. was entire UNION in our ranks. The late
Congressional elections which turned upon the
great measures in Issue letween the two parties
showed conclusvely that the Democracy, when
united constitute an overwhelming majority of
the people How else did il happen that about
lwo-thiris of the present Congress. chosen in
1913. are good Democrats The great object
then of our National Convention was. 10 choose
candidates who could combine our whole strength

OF our entire party That, and hat aIonc iros
necessary 10 male ouy triumph certain. Then, il
becomes an interesting question with our Demo
cratic friends: Has this great object been accom-
plishcd Are our Democratic hosts satisfied
and do they go into the fight with hearty good
will /? The answer To these questions can now
be given. without the least danger Of being mis-
taken. From every State in the Union, We have
received the responses of the Democracy. From
the North, the South. the East, and the West: the
language of our friends IS the same. Every De
mocratic newspaper has hoiSted the names OF our
nominees, ard proclaimed the joyful news with
warm, enthusiastic unanimity. Each one OF our
distinguished friends, who were looked upon as
asphanls for either of the offices, has gone into
the contest with warmth and checrfiIlncss The

then can we be defeated II cannot. it l~iN not
be- Victory is made certain, as we'll from the re-
storation Of harmony and union 10 our party, as
from the uncxampled enthusiasm which every
where characlerizes their excrtons.
"But how stands the case in TENNESSEE We
answer with the most perfect confidence, that in
Tennessee the victory OF Democracy is certain.
Never before have our trends been reused to such
pitch OF enthusiasm in so short period. Every

From every qGar,er OF the State the daily intell-

enemies are breaking and giving away Or

ing. Our speakers are zea!ously in the field,
waging war of powerful aggression upon the
camp Of the enemy. The great cause of Texas,
annexation, israpidly thinning the ranks of Wing
gerry. The defeat, the downfall OF their party is
now manifest. Their leaders are alarmcd-they
see the revolution sweeping over the county,
They feel that il IS vain TO resist the toTent-,hey
know that they are 10 be swept off by the mighty
current. Yet they are resolved to make despe-
rate struggle-they are fighting for their Offices
for their own advancement. But they are fight
ing in vain-the people have taken the election
into their own hands, and already have they seal
ed the doom OF the Wing party in TENNESSEE
Let the work 90 bravely on as it has commenced,
and for many long year 10 come, We shall cease
to be troubled with Whiggery."
