NOBLE ISSUES FOR THE YOUNG MEN OF OUR
CpITNTRy

II is said Of Henry A. Wise when he accepted the posi-
ton Of standardbearer of the Virginia democracy in the
memorable struggle in that State that he declared to
friend Al glory in the issues presented to methe rights
Of man. the rights of the States and hostility TO intolerance
and bgoty To be defeated in meeting such issues would
in itself be honor Such doubt, is the feeling of
thousands of young and patriotic spirits in every State in
the Union To the democrats these issues douby dear
because they based upon the creed of the democratic
party while to the wings, especially those not far adj
vaneed life they present noble opportunity for identi
flying themselves with contest for great principles that
viii be remembered with gratitude by coming generations
of reemen 1t is surprising that such Preston
and Clay of Kentucky, Farley and Evans Of Maine
Rost Of Louisiana Kerr of North Carolina &C. &c should
refuse TO follow the wing leaders the dens Of pro-
scrption and should boldly embrace the occasion of
formidable fanaticsm. We appeal to the democrats
to be up and doing in this great contest II is a
new and most fortunate occurrence this chance Of prov

Let the people be enlightened upon the matters in conro
versy fully conscious of the ends and aims of the
rious parties and their verdict will be honorable to their in
tegence and patriotism, and add another capet to the
laures of democracy But State must be fully and
thoroughly canyassed in this coming campaign The able
eloquent of the party must take the banner of de-
mooracy and it through the hastings, and proclaim
that Incorporated in its creed and
defend its policy from unjust attacks,
awe take the offensive upon all points, and make
upon the combined ns each of which equally antag
in the harmony of the Union and opposed to the
genius spirit of institutions. The example Of Wise

distinguished themselves by the ntrepidy with
which they have assaulted the enemys camp ought to find

our State central committee will that speakers pro-
vded for every county that the democratic may be
aroused the Importance of the contest The press
know will do its duty; for never, since connection with
it, has manifested greater zeal and ability in glorious
cause and labored more ndefatgably in its behalf
"With the gallant old cheltain and campaigner Sam.
