Democrats !...Let us poll every Vote!
We would again impress upon our friends the
Importance of full turn out on the day OF the elec
tin. We have the strength, and our triumph is
generally conceded by the opposition; but it NAY
be that we are over.confdent-tha we count upon
too easy victory. The only safe course IS to cork
as if our cause uas in jeopardy and stood in need
of all our efforts.
Let erery cote be poz1ed. Stand by your candi-
dates for the Legislature, and by Gov. Bragg. This
is no time for swapping for splitting tickets How
can any Democrat, under any circumstances, vote
for Know Nothing? Remember that these Know
Nothings sworn to vote against and to prescribe
YOU and that their leading object is and has been
from the first, to overthrow the Democracy so that
they might obtain Office and power.
Democrats turn out in your strength, and let US
give such majority for Bragg as will settle at once
the contest in November. We appeal especially to
Edgecombe, to Nash, to Wake, to New Hanover, to
old Lincoln, to Cleavcland, to Mecklenburg and
Union, to Duplin, Onslow, Sampson, and Wayne,
and to all the strong Democratic counties to poll
tlsir. full strength The friends of the K. n. can
didate for Governor counting upon large majori-
ties in Randolph, Guilford, and other K. n. Coun-
ties. Let US meet and overwhelh them. Weknow
that the Democratic masses already excited, and
are ready for the work. They will generally 60 to
the polls; bpt there is large floating vote which
it is important should have with us. Let as look
to that on the day Of the election. Let us obtain
it, if we can, by fair and honorable means, and our
majority will be thereby materially increased. The
day is near at hand, let erery Democrat do his
uhoze duty, and we shall glorousy triumph.

The News OF THE DAY.-The Democrats
make slow progress at Cincinnati. The quarrels
ofrival delegations from New York retarding the
progress of business. In another column we give
the resolutions that have been adopted thus far
as part of the platform. There are several more
to come yet, as might be known from the fact
that Mr. Hallett is on the committee
The Kanzas troubles are becoming more and
more serious, and we should not be surprised at
any moment to hear of the indiscriminate massa-
ere of men, women and children, wherever they
can be found by the border ruffians. No steps
have been taken by the President to arrest the
reign of terror, and the peaceful Free State set
tiers are suffering the worst apprehensions lest
COL Sumner should be recalled, and his place as
commander of the United States troops supplied
by Gen. Hanley, a commander of the Atchison
stamp. The 7ri6uneS special correspondent has
been obliged to take shelter in the fort. The New
England Emigrant Aid Company have resolved
to rebuild the hotel in Lawrence. We trust there
is exaggeraton in the report that settlers from
Indiana and Illinois continue to move into the
Territory. Chicago, it will be seen, has done
most nobly in the way OF contributions toward
strengthening the hands of the Free State men,
East will heartily respond to these generous

The result of the Convention of Wednesday
demonstrated to the people of Massachusetts, the
possibility of something being done for the sub
stantial advantage of the cause of Liberty, pro-
vided the matter be taken hold of in right good
earnest. Five thousand of the "solid," thinking
men of the old Bay State, from all the various
divisions of parties in the past assembled at this
busy season of the year, to take council together
the calamitous condition of affairs, is specta
Gle seldom witnessed. No other cause could have
brought them together, but the urgent necessity
of steps being taken to arrest the downward ten
dency of things. 1t is hoped that every man who
attended, returned home with the determination
TO exercise the utmost of his influence toward the
carrying out of the noble resolves of that Conven
ton, in the ensuing canvass.
AT the Convention were many of the leaders
and veterans of all the former parties, mingling
their voices in its deliberations by their votes and
speeches. The strength of the old whig and demo-
cratic parties-their young men-were there,
with their connection discovered from all allegi-
ance, hereafter, to the slave oligarchy. We trust
that every man of them will prove by his suisse
quent acts, when the enthusiasm excited by the
occasion shall have subsidized in his SOUL that it is
not merely warmth of feeling or sentiment which
animates him, but deep and abiding principle,
impelling him to practical cooperation with all
his fellows, in the work of his country's redemp-
tion from the evils which now beset her. The
present is no time for mere monster Conventions,
and mass gatherings of the people, with hurras
for our leading champions, without the fixed de.
termination to use the enthusiasm thus aroused
for some practical good. Unless we greatly mis-.
'--e co@ 1aesGay, we saw depicted on them
this bold resolve. to return home and do their
whole duty in this regard.
