fed that The Democracy OF the Old Dominion
will stand firm, and in November next achieve
victory more brilliant even than that of 1874
and we base our opinion upon such evidence as
the following letters which we have just received

COWARD WE GO We have not seen so
many of the Democrats Of Botctourt together
for long time as on Monday last. The finest
spirit prevails among them Proud of their
strength in 1914, and still prouder of the success
with which Democratic measures have been
crowned, it is the wish and determination Of the
| Democracy of Botctourt TO show an increase Of
strength this year, and thus TO insure the per
manence of their iavori,e measures. Every
man. we believe, will do his duty We have no
leaders as our opponents, and it is expected OF
every voter to do his part in the struggle. When
the entire rank and file Of the Democracy are
alive to the importance Of the contest, as they
are at present, and when each and every one
goes to work with zeal and spirit, they are in
yincible. II is the peope themselves In motion,
and nothing can defeat them
Alter review then, Of the whole ground, We

platform Of their principles on which 10 rally
and care nothing for men farther than as they are
! faithful opponents OF those principles, and com
peten, and pure men. The feeling that animaes
the Democratic parry is admirably displayed 10
a passage OF Senator Douglass cot Illinois)
speech delivered few DAYS ago TO the great ralifi
cation meeting in New Orleans:
"lf Gen. Cass alone and nothing else we're con-
cerDed in this election, much as love and ad.

The same steady hrmness and invincble spi-
ri, which have SO often led the Democ raic parry
10 victory, are property appreciated 10 the follow
ing remark of the New Orleans Commerci al
Times, a Neutral paper, in reviewing the notAi'
nation OF Gen. Taylor. The Wings, who have
no principles 10 stand on, and are hurried by the
blind impulse OF man-worship, may brag and
bluster at will, bu, they cannot stand before the
"indomitable game and unfinching bottom" oil
the Democracy. Never did we 70 into cones
more conscious OF the right, more satisfied tha
the Democracy will do their duty. As the New
Orleans Times well expresses il,
"There is every promise OF sharp, vigorous

with which they struggled against the overpow.
