For the DEMOCRAT
Congressional Presages in the Ninth
District,


District.
FRIEND MCDoNALD.-In the converse
tons held with you while at Bradford, |
was much gratifed to hear you set forth
the certainty of the decisive majority
which the gallant and now tn orougIy
reused county of Marshall would award to
our distinguished nominee for Congress.
Relying, as all do who know your sa-
gacity in political matters, am induced
to 90 even beyond your shrewdly demon
strated calculations, and express the hope
that by the aid of your pen, and my person
al knowledge of the indomitable democra-
cy of your republican hearted yeomanry,
the vote cast for Judge STEWART will be
unexampled for success-more than is re-
quired to wheel back our now meagerly
caricatured District. OF one fact | am
profoundly certain; and that is, that all
that intelligence and true patriotism can
suggest or an energetic will, clear will
and thorough determination can accom-
plish will be made triumphantly manifest
in your conduct Of the Democrat up to the
victory chronicling ides of the advancing
November
1t is matter of more than common con
graduation to witness how every section

ties of the crisis The spirit of redemp-
ton from fusion rigmarole, AID know moth
ing knavery animates the breasts Of all
true mon, and 90 where you will, in the
! field of the farmer, or the work shop of
the mechanic, you will find but one ex-
pression-a proud and free one--that a
great work is calling for laborers, and that
the driving out of the miserable cables
that are fostering on The body polite can
be only affected by concentration of a
united democracy--in short, the people
The fusion faction are already b coming
doubtful of the chances Of making even
/ decent show of resistance 70 the men and
measures that now are prescribed for the
elective consideration of The country
They had hoped that The decisions of the
Cincinnati Convention would be:ray some
point of weakness abouland through which
they could aim their poisoned midnight
manufactured arrows Of destruction, They
were SO badly frustrated, that were hey
less guilty the flounderiDgs of their de-
spair would excite sympathy. Poor devils,
it was amusing, Yet melancholy, to witness
the hopeless coun;enances when the cleo
tric messengers brought to us hereabouts
that the veteran patriot and tried States
man, of Pennsylvania, and the chivalrous
BRECKINRIDGE were selected as the stand
ard bearers of democracy. The name Of
BUCHANAN was ominous, and fusion trem
bled about the knees as did Belshazzar
The wire pulers felt that their power to
deceive was gone, and the earnest enthus
iasm Of the awakened masses evidence that
no caiolments would Sc duce away the CRATE
full recognition Of the eminent services of
the son of the old Key by the voters
Of The entire Union--not of a sectional
clique. The very breeze took up The name
of JAMES BUCHANAN, aud from hamlet and
mart Of trade and commerce is hourly
growing stronger the war-cry of the free
dom-l loving hosts who are anxious TO con-
fer on the peerless statesman the high re-
ward of his long proved fidelity to Amer
lean principles.
In St Joseph County, the more intelli-
gent and discriminating leaders of the con
glomerale opposition are frank to admit
that the piebald preiensions OF Fremont
and his coadjutor will be Of no more avail
than the puff OF a zephyr against the
march of whirl wind.
The nomiration of the democracy made
at Bradford is sore to the digestion of the
hybrids Many of their dupes were lily
enough to believe that the story of the
Withdrawal of CoLFAx was i'll good faith.
Had they known him aud his plottcrs bet
ter, they would have understood that it
was scheme TO make up patent sympa
thy for tie accidental Congressman flung
usized out of the know-nothing marsh of
1854 Now that the whole plot has ex-
ploded. and its fevers returned to plague
its inventors, CoLFAx, with fair share of
shrewdncss, commences TO understand
that the returning tide of wholesome opin-
ion must overwhelm him. Hence the pre-
tended modesty Of his badly propped po-
sition is now removed and instead of leav
ing it in doubt whether he will consent to
be again candidate, it will be seen that
