BEATEN, BUT NOT CONQUERED.

BEATEN, BUT NOT CONQUERED.
From every appearance and visit to the various wards
OF the city we satisfied this writing that his n
the secret organization has succeeded The various
that were brought TO hearhe seizure Of the polls and the
avenues to them and the appeals the religious
motives OF anagonisc creeds and above all the bullying
spirit exhibited nmidatng the fearful and repressing
the reluctant not persuadng them what seemed the
stronger sidea co-opeated TO give the triumph TO the
unprneiped organization which we have exposed
but which we fearfuly apprehend has won its day
Su we do not despair, however much we may grieve.
The people are honest and although they may times be
betrayed they right in the end They may
be deceived BY protesations they may be duped by
reacherous and cunning demagogues and midnight con-
spirators they may be wed away from the old land
marks and patriotic teachings of true and pure democracy
that great principle bequeahed by fathers and which
"has made nation but they will not obey the reign of
terror long they will discover the theft and deceit
and trckery Of their berayers and orsakng the false
gods return TO the true faith again
After asserting and maintaining for more than half a
century firm adherence the great cause and firm
lance upon the truths Of democracy old Hamilton county
has last given way before the enemy of civil and re-
gious berty-an enemy open and "worhy of foe
mans steel but secret and bound in the base vassal
age of oahs and obligations that as chains
men.
We have heretofore looked upon this county as secure
retreat for the preservation of freedom and the protection
of its friends in the most troubous times We have
regarded her the last of prosecuted and oppressed
humanity for here thought the bird Of banner had
built eyry and here the Genius of Liberty would hover
when banshed from other homes
But Hamilton has yielded TO the Circean charms of the
siren has paraken of the Intoxicating cup held with
hand us fair Eyes and fatal when She presented the
forbidden fruit by which fell and her
prosaton but glory in the hope of speedy resurrection
7i,aeo Daados e aona terentes" be our motto
The democracy of Hamilton defeated by those who
promised only betray The gifts they offer are as
the golden fruit of the Dead sea- and viii pail like ashes on
the eager lips That it may be otherwise we hope but
there is no encouragement against apprehension.
The enemy have met and by whom we have sustained
defeat sought every sESeruge displayed every banner
called upon all men, by Misrepresentation and asehood
by chicanery and treaehery by promises and threats APP
peang their expectations and exciting their apprehen-
sions We dfeated but not conquered Let the vaunt-
ing foe take that they have done than over
throw the democracy. Let them see when i'll the wild
hurahs their joyous excitement that they have not I'M
molaed Liberty herself Let them not too late ascertain
and keenly feel that Freedoms self received the fatal blow
and alone party.
To the democracy, who have firmly stood the brunt
the batewho have hrunk not under the shock of pas
sion and have been their country
and hemseves--we say that time viii vindicae thel
course Their patriotism will be the admiration of all
who love their country do feay the constitution and
the examples Of the fathers of American freedom
We tell them be of good cheer Not year will elapse
before the foe exultan, will fall before u.s. With
every possible combination against us the old and true de-
mocracy has accomplished wonders. 1t is the only po-
cal party possesses principles which acknowledged
from the forests of Maine the golden sands of the Sacra
meno No other party has existence and our defeat
attributable alone to unnatural fusion that must explode
by its incongruous elements,
The warnings have given should be pondered by the
people. The conspiracy has had temporary triumph
and reign oferor may he considered commenced
With the Judges sheriff and clerka the officers of gus
tice in their hapds--
Jordan Is hard road to travel y
When the dnpes shall their folly too late they will re-
pent; but do hope they will remember The deserers
from democracy win learn to feel that they have let fall
the substance for the shadow
We will not uphraid the democrats--no not even the
foregn-born czenswho orsook in the hour OF need
They are fellowczens They must prosper or perish
beneath the same genial skies freezing blasts that en-
compass us We there's good time coming,
and the sooner it does the better for country and
the better for those who and will be again with
the democracy.
