Whereas the ensuing Angus. election is one Of vast
Importance to the People of Indiana the eye of the
whole Union is upon u.s. and waiting to see the re-
suit, and learn whether that invincbe spirit of De-
mocracy, which shone brightly aud noby tri-
umPhed in IA, had been extiDgushed, whether 1t
is still treasured up in the bosom of the Democracy,
eager to break forth in 49, and again triumph in the
reelection of the best Governor Indiana had at
the head of her affairs and whereas this county has
Oeen attached TO the county OF CasS Tor representa-
tive and Senatorial purposes feel it to be duty
to extend the hand Of fellowship to the Democracy of
Cass. and unite with them in the nomination and cleo
ton OF suitable persons to represent this district in
the next Legislature; and whereas eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty, deem it bounden duty
TO aid IN every possible way that is honorable in
electing our present Democratic Governor, and the
election of 1t Governor Senator and Representatives
to State Legislature, and especially to reform
County officers by clearing the kitchen, or rather
sweeping the Augean stable, of every of them
that the strong arm of power can now reach for if
