paragraph respecting the politics Of Gen.

THE ELECTION.

Democrats the time is fast approaching that
you will be called upon to act, and it is ne
cessary to make preparations for the battle,
before the day of contest arrives, so that you
may be able TO defend the great principles of
Democracy. Do not be found slumbering
while there is labor to be performed by you;
but act with energy and let triumph be the
result of the election-and Wyandot one of
the bright stars of the state. Let her send
news of victory to her sister counties.
The Democratic party are the true advo-
Gates of their country-the Wing party are
the opposers and condemners of it, and re-
joice at the inglorious defeat of our gallant
army, now fighting in an enemies country in
defence Of their rights and honors-fghting
in war evitable on the part ofour Govern
ment. Every man acquainted with the diff
culties between Mexico and the United States,
know the many depredatons committed bv
the Mexicans, s,-insult time and again has
been gwen TO our people-indeed more than
good humor could well bare. After the United
States suffering all the insults she has, at last
had to resort to war, with that barbarous and
hostile nation. Every impartial mind is sat
sfed to Who were the nstIgators of the war,
and know it was evitable to be evaded by
Mexico; but it seemed nothing but declara-
ton of war would satisfy her people. Our
Government tried to negotiate, but received
no adherence from Mexico, they still con-
tnued in their damnable outrageous work upon
our vessels and sailors -plundering and i'm
prisoning Them Was it not time and neccs
sary fprouE people to enter into hostile works
in orderto bring them to amicable adjustment
for the savage outrage committed on our
shore. This is for every honest man to an
swer.
Democrats let us rejoice with our brave
champions, for defending this free Republic
and saving it from everlasting disgrace, by
fighting for it's rights and honors, and while
we are in glory, let us ask those senators who
would not vote the appropriation bill Of men
and money to carry on the war, ard also all
others who condemn and oppose the justness
of the war on the part of the U. States, ito go
homo where they belong and take up arms
and aid their Mexican brethren in staying the
patriotic band of American soldiers. Men
who pre,end to be American citizens should d
act as su,h mot as traitors--to aid and com
fort the enemy; while their own beloved
country men are being slain by those bio d
thirsty barbarians, who are never satisfied
only when taking the hearts blood of their
fellow men. Democrats remember all these
things, and on the second Tuesday in Octo-
Der, rally to the polls.
