The Duty Of Union Among the Democrats,
No time was ever more propitouS
than the present for a cordial. tho.
rough and untlinching union among
the democrats. Whatever we view
the position and prospects Of our own
party, or that Of our opponents; this
union is called for, and the highest
considerations Of party attachment
and devotion 10 political principle
should prompt US to respond to the
call. % 8l
In the State Of Georgia, every man
who claims TO be democrat, and pro.
(esses to desire the triumph of Dem.
Iocratic principles, should hold himself
ready to do "yeoman's service" in the
cause. Parties are too nearly balan.
ced TO justify apathy, and even a large
democratic majority would soon melt
away by inertness when opposed by
the indomitablc zeal and energy, of
the wings of Georgia. Their tact and
vigilance have often given them, though
inferior in numbers, victory over the
democrats, who, while numerically su-
perior, were deficient in organization
and union. Let experience of the past
teach us an admOnitory lesson. The
democrats Of Georgia have no strength
to spare. They cannot afford TO in
dulge either in chickering's and dissen>
sions among themselves, or supinely
yield the field of political contest to
the movements OF their opponents.
Ii has hitherto been the proud boast
of the ion.hcarted democracy Of the
land that it is never stronger than af.
