IL would be singular and absurd result 10
elect Gene raj Taylor the presidency and him
with Congress hostile to his adminstfa toni would be
mockery Of the national will. Besides which, nothing
would be gained by any party. 1t would simply de-
liver the government the hands of faction, without
object, reason, plan. 1t would probably last only
Copgress, when the people would brcome indignant
acous opposton and send the Congress expressly
support the President.
This statement from wing paper shows that the con-
will be close We will venture, with our limit
ed information these specuatons of the Atlas
but will be disappointed if than two of the
districts of Virginia. which represented in the las,
Congress by wings shall send democratic
the next House. All that is required and har-
mony the republican ranks, and that energy and spn
which we have exhibited by the democrats of the
Old Dominion in many darker day than this. Let the
generous feeling and ardent spirit actuate them
now, and they will do as they did in 1885, and carry
love district the State hut for
dissension for apathy. The prize for which we con-
tend is great one, and must be united 10 obtain it,
The wing party alarmed They feel that the prize is
almost slipping from their hands; and we feel thai
every should be strained for ourselves
up every exeron and to do battle manfuly in the
present contest
The wing party is evidently alarmed 1t is calling
upon its members TO every exerlion to obtain the
control of the House of Representatives In the language
of the Cincinnati Atlas they men ''to support til.
President" The idea that the administration is not to
influence the action Of the representatives Of the people
to have served its purpose, and is to be cast
away. The Philadelphia Inquirer says The EIeeu
tue cannot accomplish everything. He must be assisted
and responded to bya liberal and enlightened Congress"
This was not the language held in the late canvass
to the representatives Of the people, in the event OF
General Taylors election and the President was to have
no influence them But noy we hear the represent
atves of the people spoken of by wing leaders and wing
papers adjuncts-mere aids and supports of the
President. The reason of this is, they have become
satisfied that General Tor is with the federal party He
has surrounded himself with wing cabinet, each
and every member OF which is bitter and violent ensmy
of the present policy of the government That policy
the policy of the democratic party. For many long years
that party has aboed to build it up and sustain it, AT
length the great work accomplished The United
States Bank and internal Improvements, and the doctrine
of restriction overthrown An independent treasury
and a revenue tariff were given the country. They have
brought prosperity in their train Not only have the sim
lister foeboiings of their enemies been fased but the
ancpatons of their friends have been than realized
These great measures in imminent peril. The
wing party, hiding its features under the cloak of meder
alton and no-partysm has stolen into the high places Ct
the government The guise having served its purpose
will be speedily thrown aside 1t is already partially re-
moved General Taylor has already done what he would
not do before the election. He has declared his hostility
to the present system When that is stricken
down, then the Independent treasury will be destroyed
and tariff like that OF ls4a, and bank like that which
Gen. Jackson overthrow, will be fastened upon the coun-
try In this emergency, then, call upon our feads in
those States which have yet to elect their members of
Congress to come forward in defence OF their principles
and do all they to protect them from the violence
which is threatened
Democrats of virginia-of North Carolina, of Mary
land, OF Indiana, of Kentucky Of every State which is
yetto voteput forth all your strength, and save the
House OF Representatives!
