buckling on his armor and preparing for
the contest. Every man who feels an in.
terest in our cause, and loves the great
principles of democracy, should be up and
doing; and should make every necessary
effort to secure the election of every one
of the democratic nominees.
If we were certain that every elector
who processes to be democrat, would go
TO the polls on the day of election, and
vote the whole democratic ticket, we cod
have no doubt about the succe ssful termi
nation OF the issue. We, however. are
aware that there are some mutterings of
dissatisfaction among some, whose &C.
tons should be characterized by more
forbearing and liberal spirit, to some of
our candidates. Ifthis censurable course
is persisted in, and any of our candidates
are defeated, the blame will rest upon
those who are causing these dissensions.
Will any candid and intelligent democrat
acknowledge. by throwing away bis vote,
or by supporting wing, that principles
are not involved in the contest between
the two parties, and that the only differ
ence is relating to men? Can he do SO
without mourning the censure of his party.
and sacrificing his principles? Even If
the nominees are not the first choice of
certain men, what is to be gained by
electing wings? True, they may make
fair promises. in order to secure your votes
but they will detest you for your duplieity,
when it will be too late to recall the past.
We earnestly entreat all who are of the
belief that democracy is preferable to
whiggery, TO give the entire democratic
ticket, a united and energetic support.
Our opponents have no candidates for
the State Offices, and are uniting all their
energies and using every intrigue to carry
a majority in the next Legislature, which
would secure to themselves aUnited States
Senator, and enable them to pass the laws
under our new constitution, TO enforce their
odious doctrines upon the people. As far
as regards this district, their manoeuver.
ing will signally fail. Our candidates for
Senator and Representatives cannot be
beaten. Their competency and ability
render them every way worthy OF the sui.
frages of the democracy.
The wings are, also, making every eff
fort to carry the county officers, through.
out the state, at this election, which ifthey
are permitted TO be successful in, will
eventually overthrow the democratic party
of the State. Democrats, recollect that
by aiding to elect whig you elect man
who is the sworn enemy of your cherished
principles. There is nothing to gain by
voting for wing, but elevation of the
injurious principles of the wing party
Remember, democrats, that we can defeat
our enemies if we ,cill /; therefore, let US
act unitedly and victory will be ours.
Democratic Meeting.
There will be democratic meeting at
Plainfeld, on Saturday next, commencing
a: 2 o'clock, P. M. Several speeches
will be delivered by gentleman who will
be present. We trust that there will be
general rally Of democrats from this
county, and we also hope that good mum.
Der of our brethren from the counties of
Du Page and Kendall will be in attend
ance. The present is certainly time
when every arrangement should be made
to bring our forces into the field.
As to the True Democrats support Of
the nominees of the Mass convention.
we simply say that we have never author.
lied the Signal to say how we were going
to vofe.-Irue Democrat.
We viii merely state the facts which
impelled us to the conclusion. A wing
senatorial district convention was held
here, at which candidates were nomina.

itor of the ''True Democrat" with few
other wing leaders at this place. endeav

support the Plainfeld nominees. The

organ ofthe wings in this district, did not

support its nominees, why does be not
