A FEW WORDS TO THE DEMOCRATS
,.,------O OF bAMOILLE COUNTY,.
Allow us, democrats Of Lamoille County, an
old fellow-uborer among you, to address few
plain words to you. We ask you to take what
we say, as we say II, III all Kindness and good
feeling, desiring ourselves, as We firmly believe
you deslro only the permanent interests. of Tree
dom and The democratic party.
To The Wings and Liberty men we will say
nothing. To the first it would, perhaps, be i'm
pertinent forfus to speak and The latter must ra-
ll'y or not, as they plcase the bargain by which
they have been truck-and dckered ont Of exist
ence as party; but to the old democrats with
whom we have fought, aud IRON whom we have
received COUNSEL 10 old times, we may be per-
united to say word
We have giveny ouin another place, what we
know 10 have been the origin Of this free soil"
PutJ, IN this STATE, and we ask you, now, 10
look the thing calu,ly 10 the face. This self
styled party Is simply got up for selfish purposes
aud for the political and pccUniary advancement
OF the leaders. We are all for free soil
party, IN Tie State, founded upon the question Vt
Tree " suffrage" would be Just as Consistent and
have just as good claims upon toe people for II
separate organic ilon. The object Of the dem
ocrats Is to overcome the Wings; and where
there Is prospect Of Shaving off whig counties
ny lhlS new move, 1t may do: but IL counties
where we are already In a majority, the new
move 10 Suicidal, and we must stand our hand
for our old organization. 70 suffer ourselves to
be carried of with the old Liberty plry uniJuuls
to nothing. In Lainoe County, last year, the
democrats pol.ed $50 votes, the liberty plrly GAG
ana the wings l03. Now, the object of every
man among US Is 20 overcome the wing majority
IN the State, Is it not? In Lamoille, last year,
the majority against the wings was 1882. Now
suppose at the next election, say 100 democrats
abandon our senator and 90 over to the candid
ate OF the new party, who il Is said viii carry
tie whole Liberty vote, what Is gained, Us a.
galnsl the wings? 1t Is u simple transfer .!
votes from one minority to another, aud makes
nothing against the majority in the State. And
suppose the candidate Of lie new party elected
~ your county 10y democratic votes what is
gained against The minority in the state /? Moth
lug at all. The democrats who aid III the cleo
ton gain nothing, and they lose their Identity
with heir old Jackson principle they lose their
Old organization; they lose the election of an
old ana true democrat, trained from boy anon
them; they lose tile very organization on which
they have relied and must always rev and they
lose their sell respect and their honor as thor
ough'golng democrats and honorable men; and
they gam the election of new man among
then, who has already been sufficiently hnnored
by Office, aud Can afford to wait his time, and
who Is simply an instrument to carry out the de.

But, let our friends in Lamollle, look beyond
NE election of Senator. Suppose all the old
Liberty men unite on the Buffalo candidate and
