pie ofsthis grrat Republic will be calico upon,
by Tie highest considerations Of duty ind p4.ri
otism, to decide who shall serve them for the
next four years - President. On the one hand
10 presented man Of modest pretensions, bu'
high civil qualifications; while on the other hand
IL presented an exclusive mi'tary man, with no
in civil .af.irs aud lily adapted by
habit, ass,cia.ion and disposition to assume the
e,vfi government Of the country. The whig
party i stra,ning every nerve and resorting TO
every species of unfair maneuverny, deception
and fraud to eject ts candidate. Let deniacra,s
then arouse and buckle on their armnr and enter
the field from this. 10 the grand 6nal day Of bat.
tie. We,waat more action among democrats.
Out friends are too confi len: of success, to BE-
duly alive to the efforts Of their opponents and
the inro.ds they win certai, y make in tn,

cratic principles in the administration OIL the gov.

ent world renowned and unexsmpled prosper.-
~. And for the continuance Of this prosperity
and Il Il higher po,ition in the scale Of nations,
the people must look TO the democratic party and
the perpetuati m Of its principle sri S. IT,
! Success in any enterprise in life, depends en-
tireiy upon the efforts of those who have it in
charge. IT we lie .suPinely upon our backs,
hoping Cor succes -, but making ne exertions to
gain it. eve certainly shouad not be disappointed
if We encounter an overwhelming defeat. No
man ever gained an object without making an
efor,. liza lawyer des;rs to serve his client,
will he throw himself upon his sofa and wait

this il not the, way, 70 accomplish success
'Pronptness. energy and perseverance, are the
prerequisites for success. This 10 essentially
the case in politics, Whenever the whig party
has succeedea, ii has verified the rule; for it is
the antinng eaereyi of its leaders. that has de-.
teased the democracy, whenevesit has suffered
defeat. Our friends are too confdon. ofsuccess
Unconscious Of the extraordinary efforts making
by the whig leaders in this canvass, they rest

This win never Do. Our opponents Ore wiley,
inscriptions and active. They are on the
alert day and night, and what they do, is not
always before the EYES of men, that they may,
be seen. The democracy never had stronger
Incentives q action. Their principles are those
which have crowned the country, with success
and which aresnow daily contributing to ito pros
