cans, for chief Executive. Let all arouse,- Jet the young and the old ceise their daily avocation for the purpose of defending their sacred rights and privile-
 ges. People of the South crisis is at
 hand, and it is now Jeff for you to say in solemn and silent voices at tn, ballot box
 whether you will submit to be ruled by ! faction or your interests guarded by that same Democratic party that has guaran- tecd to you the enjoyment of the blessings that yol now enjoy. Yes, it is for you to say whether you are satisfied to continue the same rule of Government upon which our Government has been conducted since the formation of our institutions, or meek
 y consent 10 theory of government that has ever, when reduced to practice. brought ruin and misery upon our people
 Yes, fellow Democrats of Alabama, n crissis is at hand, you must be warned that your principles and your rights ns freemen are in dangerl It is useless longer to rest contented, active and in- siduous means are being used among you to prevent the achievement of that sue. cess which has justly entitled the River State to the Democratic Banner. Yes, extraordinary cxertons are being used by the whig party under the robes of no.
 partyism, to defeat and injure the chosen
 leaders of ihe Democratic cause, and by
 that means achieve n triumph over
 Democratic Republican principles. It is
 known that our gallant State has always
 presented an unbroken front to the enemy,
 in every political struggle-that she sus-
 ,ained with pride the glorious administra-
 ton of the departed hero, Andlew Jackson,
 and has in every struggle since sustained
 the same rule of government. In 1886,
 she stood firm to the Democratic champi-
 ons--in lS40 she sustained herself erect
 against the resstlcss tide of coon-skns,
 cider barrells, red pepper, yaller kivers
 Sc. which over swept the country by de-
 usions and fraud, of which many of the
 old coon party are now ashamed of--in
 ls44, Alabama, stood maniully for the
 Republican Democratic candidate, James
 K. Polk, and give him a larger majority than any other State in tho union with
 the same number of white popuation.--
 The Democratic sons of Alabama, pride
 themselves on their heretofore glorious
 victories, in the cause of Repubicanism,
 and in looking to the cause we cannot
 attribute it only to the love and sacred
 devotion to principles, which ever charac- terize true patriotism. In every contest
 the democracy of Alabama have been
 united, in one unbroken phalanx, and in
 the approaching one, the same love, patri-
 otism and unity must exist,--let all re-
 member that the same principles are now
 at stoke that were at the election of Jack
 son and Polk--let every one remember
 that the party of no.principles now, are
 that some "old coon" with his tail chop
 ped somewhat shorter. That the same
 dear Republican principles are again at
 tackled by them, under different cloak, with being confident of your without
 your aid they can do nothing, hence the , reason for crying out no-panyism.
 Yes Democrats. the same old fight has
 to be fought, ,-t the democratic Republican
 party, has again brought on the field of
 battle champions worthy your sullfages, in the persons of Lewis Cass and Gen. Vim. o. Butler Gen. Cass has stood by MT. Polk and defended him from the assaults of the an,i-war no. party -whig .faction,-
 he has always been a firm and consistent
 democrat,-he too-shuns no danger and shrinks from no responsbilities--Cass' , deeds of goodness have been lispcd by thousands of youths of our happy land, and his attachments to our country will be remembered by generations Of the human family yet unborned-yes, our candidates Cass and Butler, are true upon all the great measures of democracy, and we are , confident that every good democrat in l Alabama, will rally to the polls on the 7th : of November and vote for them. Several 1 important assertions from ou: party (we l don't have any allusion to Sam. Rice for I his is not desertion from democracy, ] , and consequently, our sister democratic states are looking upon us with great anxiety, and we hope in consequence, that more determined rally will be made by the democracy, and that our har- dy sons will send up voice of ten thou. sand majority in November. Alabama,
 has ever remained as true as the magnet to the poll, when whigism had almost submerged every other state. Her sons have been as firm as her mountains in
 their devotion to prnciples,-whlc the
 earth.quake shakes of Federalism has al. most shook the Granite hills of New Hampshire, Alabama has stood erect with her thousands of majori,ies. Now, let . us again by union perpetrate that strength, let us show that we prise our principles higher than men. Let us remember that we have the intelligence to comprehend the dangers that threaten us, and the spir-
 !. ~"d nIuncss to repcii them with feelings
 of indignation.
 Democrats of Autauga, this specled no. party party claims your homesteads as , standing on their ground-yes this fac- tion claim your county-yes they claim
 old Autauga-the favored county, by ma.
