FcIlow-cizens The election for a member OF
Congress 10 represent this district in the next
Congress Of the United States. is near al hand
On Thursday, the 9Th day Of August, you will
be called upon TO exercise the high and inestlma
bic RICH, OF suffrage.
The important crisis which has presented Itself
in our political history, the party warfare Which
is being Wased from one end OF tins Union 10 The
other and the unparalleled efforts which are every
where made by The Federal party, 10 strike terror
into our ranks should serve 10 alouse The Demo
cratic party 10 true sense OF lhci duty, aud
cause them 10 make manly and vigorous exer-
ton in The coming election in lullhciance Of
their cherished principles.
The Democratic Convention which recently
assembled in the town o. Petersburg, after iaIr
interchange of views, presented as one worthy 10
bear alo.t the Democratic banner the name OF
Richard Kiider Meade oil the town ofPeersbuig
The convention or caucus was numerously al
tended, and the nomination made with great una
nimily. The time. honorcd usages OF the Demo
cratic party have been strictly adhered 10, and
trust every patriotic Democrat will stand by the
result Of The Convention and give 10 the nominee
cordial and hearty support WiIhou, strict ad-
herence TO our nominations, the paI!y is al sea
without chart or compass, poweIess and an easy
prey 10 a we'll disciplined force, though numefi-
cay much smaller. How can Democratic prin-
ciples be carried out unless The parry acl in con-
cert? Men can effect nothing without union,
and TO effect this, minoriies must in coed tam
yield 10 majoIilies, and every true Democrat does
yield ii he regards The cause more than men, pfin
ciples more than places.
Fe.low.ci,izens, II canuo, be Otherwise than
gratifying 10 your feelings, ,ha, our candidate IS
hailed every where with favor and delight. Du-
ring the late Presidential! struggle. Mr.. Meade
was TO use the phrase, no "parlor politician but
he min sed in The lhickesl Of the light. Ills elo-
ouent voice was heard on The Court Green, on
the South side, urging the friends OF equal Ia VS.
and equal rights" 10 come forward and give 10
The Democratic nominees a cordial and hearty
suppor Where work was 10 be done, Meade
was always al his pest.
He is a gentleman OF true and sterling worth
liberal and enlightened in his views high-inihd-
ed and generous in his actions. There IS no
narrow heariedness about him-no selfish or con-
lrac,ed principles in his breasl; in his private and
public career he has known but one course, and
that has been bold course oil !ecisude and Iutn.
The unanimily Of sentiment among ms own po-
ltical friends IS mol more Iemathdoe III uiese
times Than the testimonials which his political
opponents every where bear 10 his high moral
worth. With such a man as Meade rooted in
the affections Of The pecple-so justly popular
so conciliatory, yet frm-how can The Demo
cratic party suffer deiea'}
Fellow-cilzens-have no, the Democratic par
" sufficient cause 10 congratulate each other
upon The brilliant prospects now before them
