Hon. Morris LonKstreth.
The following brief and touching address from the
democratic candidate for Governor at the late election
will be read with pride by every Pennsy democrat
II is couched IN terms OF manly dignity and appeals with
force and ability TO all those who stood fast the demo-
cratic flag, at the late election press forward in the
discharge OF the high duty which awaits the republican
masses OF the whole Union in November. We see no

the notorious and undenlabe frauds under which his
competitor claims the executive chair The only feelings

npershable faith, and OF soicitude for their success

more TO be enved is the position of such man, than that
OF the person pretending The high place of govern

disregard of the truth, shameessy exhibited in the late

LOngstreth revering these examples, and vauing the
office high seek it in this cheered in his
retirement by the lofty and pleasing consciousness that it
better TO fall with good cause than 10 crawl into place
through the dark and fetd of assimilation and
fraud
We trust every democrat will read and remember this
manly and truthful appeal. 1t should at al

TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
The result of the election of the 10th of October has
been the apparent defeat of the democratic candidate for
governor and the triumph of your opponents marshaed
under every name and shade OF opinion, and agreeing
only in their hostility to democratic principles.
Their reported majority for governor is, however, very
small, and we have succeeded in eecng excellent
candidate for canal commissioner
Under these circumstances there is every indcement
rally upon candidates for President and Vice Pres
dent-Lews Cass and William o Bu.ler-whose prin-
cipes are known, whose qualifications are undoubted,
and whose election will confer honor upon the Union
The untirng efforts of every democrat should be di-
rected to secure this result opponents flushed
with ephemera success, using every exerton against
With my heartfelt thanks for the fatterng vote of the
true democracy of Pennsylvania in my favor hope |
may without presumption call upon every personal and
political friend to join in united effort for glorious re-
publican triumph on the 18th of November.
