|. A THRILLING APPEAL TO THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.
We cannot refrain making the following stirring extract
from letter Just received at the Union office ad
dressed to by of the most fearless champions OF
principles and he oreshadows the events of the
future with almost prophetic ken lie points out the IN
erna war between the fusion elements and the conse
quences that follow only tho democracy stand
firm Let our motto be 4Unon conciliaon and conces-
sonan oblivion past feudsa preparation for future
victories
81 by means discouraged at the appearance OF
things in the political armament Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana have saved for 1856 now look upon the re-
suit Of that campaign certain aud glorious triumph
for the democracy If we had carried those States this
time the coalitioniss and fusonsts would have held to-
geher and have consolidated their united strength in
1885, Now, they have the power in the national House
of Representatives and have excuse for not carry
ing their pledges to the people before the election
In order to satisfy the aholiionss they must pass bills
to put the Wmot proviao Kansas and Nebraska, to
repeal the ugitiveslave law, to abolish slavery in the
District OF Columbia, and abolish the slave trade be-
tween the States Nothing less than this will satisfy
the abolitionsts and make them act with the wings and
know-nothings Hence the other parties to the unhoy al
lance up to the mark and vote all these revo-
utionary through the House of Representatives
Then the knownothings will demand their share OF the
spois of victory, which will commence with bill to re-
peal the naturalization laws With the view of prescribing
all of foreign birth, and placing them on equality
with the negrol If the aboonsts and wings de- not
this test and pass the knownothing measures the
latter will withdraw from the alliance. So you see that
the wings do endorse all the schemes of the aboi
tonists and the knownothngs, if each party to the
bargain does sustain and carry out all the
all the other parties the alliance the coalition will
once dissolve and each division charge the other with
treachery and bad faith If they do hold together and
press all their odious through the House. the Sem
will at reject the whole series, and go into the
presidential election those issues In either event
must triumph for it will be contest of principle with fac
touof constitutional liberty and State rights against
rev lutionary doctrines and disunionsm.
"Hence be Of good cheer! Unfurl the banner and let
galantly in the breeze Charge upon the allied
forces Of the enemy and make compromise with any of
their isms never felt better anxious for the
fight The principle of the Nebraska bill will prove ire
sistibe it is stronger than the democratic party.
We would have carried the country everywhere this
year on that issue but for know-nothingism An-Ne-
braska is the mask and know-nothingsm the battery
concealed behind it which has done the work The mask
will be stripped off, and tbs infamous doctrine of pro-
scrpton because of birthplace and religious faith will
stand forth to the gaze of the world only to be despsed
and scoed at The corrupt portion of our pastthe dis
appointed oceseekers who betrayed their party and
abandoned their principles because they could not be paid
for their patriotsmhave sloughed Off and the organi-
zaon stands purified and consolidated upon the eter-
principles of the democratic creed Tell the President
be of good cheer All looks WELL and getting better
daily His administration will survive a such shocks
the coaloniss have been able to produce and out
purer and stronger because of the furious opposition it
has had to encounter
THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS AND THE OPPOSITION
PRESS.
We haze already spoken of the high and confident tone
of the democratic prSs of the United States since the
have lately been called upon to sustain We
