OUR LAST APPEAL TO TIE GLORIOUS
DEMOCRACY,

OUR LAST APPEAL TO TIE GLORIOUS
DEMOCRACY.
! Our best exerllons nave bron foa, iosoIy mado
IN defence Of our long cherished principles :
how far we have succeeded, is a question for the
friends of great and good cause to decide
We call upon those who are now running up
their time to near four score years, who from
their early manhood have been steadily the sup
poters of old fashioned Democracy. as they
love their posterity and the glory Of their coun.
try, TO devote TUESDAY NEXT 10 the support
otheir country and their principles, by voting for
Cas- and Butler.
We call upon those, who are in the prime OF
manhood, 10 strain every nerve which glorious
cause can inspire, to carry with them TO the
polls the aged and infirm, who are ready TO
encounter any and all difficulties which long
ride may present, provided an opportunity is Of
fcred them TO get TO the polls to cast their votes
for Cass and Butler.
We appeal 10 the young, especially those who
have just reached manhood, to emulate the con
duet of their fathers and grandfathers, who, for
quarter 10 half century, have boen the pill
lars which have sustained their countIy's
cause, and who now have the right, when view
ing the glory and greatness of our country in
the eyes Of The world, 10 say this is the fruit Of
our labor in a righteous cause.
Ii there is one Democrat who hesiia,es 10 give
one day 10 his country, we beg him 10 initiate the
example ot lie veteran Democrat, above seventy
years or age, who rode from Campbell county 10
powhatan 10 sustain the Democratic cause in
giving his 70 c for Col Hopkins.
The election OF that sterling Democrat against
the Wing host which Richmond sent forward 10
oyerwhelm him, shows what The lion-heaIled DE.
mocracy can accomplish when fully roused.-
His defeat would have been spread over the wide
limits u The country wherever The telegraph tx
tends as undoubted proof that this proud old COM
monwealth was 10 b. driven from the rock 81
Democracy ~ the blast Of nc-parly Taylorisnl
with Fillmore Abolitionism.
Lei every Democrat press boldly on, and de-
erminc within himself that the glorious and
proui old flagship OF Democracy shall mol Strike
her colors 10 Federalism, Whsism, Taylo'ism,
or any oher ism which the opponents OF Demo
cracy may rally under with the deusive hope
that they may get possession OF her deck whilst
her defenders are lr,lessly reposirg in the belief
that there is MOI a speck which threatens danger
10 her
We honestly view the presen, contest as more
important thar any one in The present century. =
The success ot our candidates will bring repose
and quiet 10 he, Union, bui our defeat would throw
up the aooa-ga'cs Of federalism and lanallcism,
an! The wises; aud best must ircmble when he
conrcmpacs The deep injury, il not The utter ruin,
which these b!igh,ing elements would bring upon
our now prosperous, powerful, and happy coun-
Try.
We but echo the heartfelt sentiments of every
lrue Democcat in the broad limits OF our 2orl
Gus Union; and as they love The Union, we appeal
10 them, each and every one, to use all honorable
exel,ons in lis support, by aiding in drawing out
eyery Democratic voter in his ncishborhood.
The continued prosperity Of the country loudly
demands that each and all should 50 exet! them
selves.
We have done speaking, but under the Proyl-
dcncc Of The great Ruler OF our now happy coun-
try, wc will be at The polls on TUESDAY NEXT,
and discharge ireeman's duty, BY casting our
vote Tor our brave cold volunteers" and most able
and true statesmen, Lewis Cass and William y.
Butler. Two men more deserving our support,
rich as our country is in the talents and patIi.

limits from ocean u ocean.
Brother Democrats, shall We meet you, one
and all, al the roll>7 We hear cheering res
ponsc from the heart Of every true Democrat.
