Fremont and Day.en.

Beaten but not dismayed or dsheartened, we
place again at the head of or columns, the names
of our gallant standard bearers, and pledging
our 5 Ives anew TO the service Of the Republican
party and to its glorious platform Of principles
laid down at Philadelphia, we grid ourselves
again for one more battle with the Slave power.
That we are disappointed at thereuli of the great
battle which. has just been fought in the nation,
against a corrupt and wicked national party,
falsely calling itself democratic, we shall not at
temp, to conceal But We 90 not even now, see
any occasion to despair of the Republic. Allis
not yet lost, and the glorious majorities that
have been rolled up in most of the free States for
the candidates OF the party of freedom, in its
last great struggle with the slave power are just
as certainly the premontions of a final and over
whelmiDg triumph of principles at no dis
tant period, as the golden rays of morning in
the Eastern sky, the prestige of the coming day.
Never before have so many brave, intelligent
patriotic American citizens stood together, upon
such a humane, noble and comprehensive plat
form, as that upon which the Republican party
stands at the present time. Never before since
the revolutionary era, have so many men stood
shoulder to shoulder in the support of that great
American principle that " all men endowed
BY their creator with the inalenabe rghtoI life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and never
before has there been period SO suspicious for
the full and speedy realization OF the blissful Wis
IONS the seers and prophets OF the past,ofa per-
feet Commonwealth, an entirely free republic, as
that which we living, hoping, and striving
for the attainment of to-day.
Let no mans heart fail him, then, at the pres
ent time, in view of the victory which has been
achieved BY the powers of darkness over the chill
dren of light, but let us all arouse ourselves
to the full perception of the glorious work
that lies before US, Let us realize our duties as
American citizens, as lovers of the Union which
was consecrated with the blood of the fathers, for
permanent and blessed inheritance for the chill
dren even to the latest posterty, and as friends
of humanity that lies bleeding and a county that
requires the best abors and the costest sacrifices
of every citizen, let go forth to labor in that
cause which, as it is worthy of Heavens choicest
blessing, is also worthy of the Christians hottest
aspirations and the patriots most earnest tolls.
Let us re organize then at once for the great bat
tie that is yet to be fought with the minions of
despotism, and in every town and village in the
Union uprear again the standard of freedom, and
rally once more beneath its folds the good men
and the true of every age, country and condition
who would wish to participate in triumph
wbar results will be so glorious to the victors
and so benefcient 10 mankind.
Let our battle cry again be heard along the
whole line, and let each sentinel of the guard of
liberty, cry out in the language of New England's
patriot bard, to our chosen and well tried leader;
" Rise up, Fremont, and go before,
The hour must have its man,
Put on The hunting shirt ouce more,
And leaf in Freedoms van"
So shall victory crown our efforts, and so shall
the institutions of truly Democratic govern.
ment, living Christian Commonwealth, be es-
tablished in all this land
