Rally for Bragg and Free Suffrage !
Southern Rights and Democracy!
Brother Democrats the election is close at hand.
The opposition will make desperate efforts in nearly
all the Counties for the Legislature, and they will
leave means untried to elect their candidate for
Governor If should fail to turn out in full force
defeat may be the result. We are all confident, it
is true of success but there IS danger an erercon-
.7flence
Let US work, then, as if the result depended upon
the individual exertons of each Democrat. Let US
not only command victory, but deserve it by our
energy, our ardor, watchfulness Be prepared
at all points against the fasehoods and msrepresen
tations which may be started against candidates
the eve of the election-take nothing for granted
which they may allege, but demand the proof, and
charge home on them before the people their I'M
scrupuous conduct, their want of principles, their
opposition to Free Suffrage their advocacy of Con-
vention and their continued afliaton with the Free
soil Wings of the North. Court full and free dis
cussion, and let the people judge between you and
these Federal leaders. The people-thc people will
do right Only give them the facts and all will be
we'll
Remember, brother Democrats, the important re-
tnued ascendancy of Democratic principles in
State councils, and two United States Senators. 1t
involves also judicious and progressive system of
internal improvements, with justice to all parts of
the State; it involves the question whether all free
white men shall be placed equal footing at the
ballot-box it involves the question whether the
clamor for Convention, so injurious to spirit of
harmony and concord between the people of the East
and West, shall be prolonged it involves the ques
ton whether of ability and fitted for the post
shall be elected Governor, whether one shall be
called to that post who deficient in natural talents
and unqualified for the proper discharge Of the du-
ties of the Office
What say you, friends? Are you AL ready? VIII
you not all devote yourselves to this noble work
from this until the election? And above ALL scU you
not be ont on that day az full force prepared to la
Dor for your candidates for the Assembly and for the
gallant Bragg? He is doing his duty manfully in
the West-a " little more grape" from this battery,
and then from that and shower of grape" along
the lines, and the day will be ours.
Let it never, never be said that we had victory
within grasp and lost it by apathy and ndiffer-
ence!
We appeal especially to the strong Democratic
Counties-to Edgecombe Nash, Caswell, New Han
over, Onslow, Person, Cumberland Wayne, Wake,
DLplin, Warren, Franklin, Currituck Rockingham,
Cleaveland, CASTOR, Catawba, Union and Yancey to
give to the the advantage of their fullest vote
At least one thousand Uotes can be saved by proper
efforts in these Counties-saved, say, for when a
Democrat neglects from whatever cause, to go to the
polls, has cote is lost. Remember that-every vote
thus lost throws candidate for Governor behind
We may be strong-we are, but elections uncer-
tain, and have strength to spare. The battle
all things being even, results for those who go
most earnestly and unitedy through the fight. For

Let US all, then, determine not only to devote our
energies to the from this until the Sd of Au-
gust, but to go to the pols-to induce meigh6ors
and friends to go along aoith u.s. and remain there
until sunset laboring for correct principles and the
success of all our candidates. Let perform oar |
aohole duty and leave consequences to themselves.
Do this, and the proud high, commanding position |
attained by the State under Democratic influences |
will be maintained do this and the of the Sd of
August it casts it's beams the folds of our glo-
rious banner, will look down upon hosts of freedom
banded together man in defence of their
rights, and well assured of signal, brilliant, and
victory.
