Your festival, (as ! learn from the letter before me-
is Designed iu fuInirl the pccnsion lar democrats IL

will prevail. aud the Democratic parry united and har-
muuious will be, as heretofore, iuvIlciblr.
In this State there is much Ia encourage united ac-
ton. DiSuninn and division, involving no real differ
rIce ui principle, but characterized 10y great personal
acrimuny, had broken the victorious democracy ui
1857 in fragments. TIL" recent election ias shown us
tina; these fragments are lc uniting, and thnt one hun
drrd and fifty thousand tried democrats, hnvr rallied to
the SUPPORT ri the principles und candidates OF ihr
party. 1t is II s"iid phalanx oi Inci who believe III
the doctrine OF popular sovereignty in its most com,
prciensivc sens, and will be constantly augmented
from the ranks of all who desire 10 maintain this fun
dameutal article of the Democratic creed.
A union ut such as have q common political faith
will restore our State government 10 democratic hards
and preserve The asccndnncv in your national councils.
