The Contest at Hand!
Democratic fellow citizens, for the last
time, as Saturday is the day of the prima-
ry meetings; We must say, prepare your
batteries for the conflict, which will be up
on you after that day. The enemy will
be busily engaged, and with the use offoul
play which they are using in other places,
may be resorted to here. Wings want
to be very cunning, at least some of them,
they will work every Ingenuity to get dem
ocrats of their guard. Democrats, make
selection of candidates of your choice and
we can assure victory will be perched on
your banner as usual. Remember it is
principles not men, that you are struggling
for, and as the Ohio Patriot truly says:
Principles---Not Men.
This has always been cardinal maxim
of the Democratic party: We pote for p,ia-
cigles, not for men. Even if the men of our
choice have not been selected-eyen if our
personal feelings are averse to some Of tn e
successful nominees-even if one or more
of them should be personally obnoxious to
us, still it is our duty to support them, and
to use our influence to secure their cleo
ton. If the principles advocated by our
party be correct, and they be essential to
the progress and interests Of the greatest
number to the pcrpetuity of the blessings
of liberty and equality, and their trans
mission to posterity, as we firmly believe
them to be, then it is our imperative duty,
if VIC wish to advance those principles, if
we wish to see them successful, to support
the nominees of the party.
No creed, no doctrine, no principles can
succeed without organization and united
efforts on the part of those who desire their
success. The Democratic party is organ
lied with view to the advancement moi
of men but of the glorious principles ot
freedom and equal rights; and this organi-
cation to be effective, must be kept up and
supported. In doing SO, we are some
times called upon to sacrifice our persona
feelings, and keeping the great object ii
view, we should do so cheerfully and with.
out murmur. Let it notbc said that the
noble Democracy of old Columbiana suf-
fered themselves to be humbugged and
driven from the support of thin Ticket
and their Principles, in this pre- eminently
important contest. Democrats of Colum
biana, we invoke you to united, harmoni
Gus and energetic ACTION!
