TO YOU.


The chairman of the State Committee,
in the following circular, addresses, in
dividually every member of the Demo-
cratic party in Pennsylvania. We hope
each one will act upon his suggestions.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. %, 1857.
DEAR SIR:
The Democratic State Committc arc
impressed with the Importance of effort to
secure full vote of our friends at the
election. With full vote, our triumph is
sure aud nothing but cxertion is necessary
to secure it and obtain an overwhelming
victory over the opposition. We appeal
to you to see that every reasonable effort
is made in your County to get out the full
vote of our party. We do this because
there is room to lear that a sense Of security
"a confidcncein our strengths operating
to decrease interest, and paralyzc oxertion.
The opposition are adapting their tactics
to this condition Of things, in failing to
nominate local tickets in Berks and many
othrr Counties where Democratic majorities
are large, and in holding meetings and
putting forth their oxertions in those parts
of the State where they have majorities-.
Their object, doubtless is, that the vote
shall be full where they are strong, and
light where they are not. We therefore
earnestly urge you to give your influence
and active aid for the short time that will
clapse before the election, to the measures
necessary to secure full Democratic vote
in your County. Our friends everywhere
will be urged to cooperate in this duty,
and it is hoped that it will be everywhere
fully discharged. The salutary results of
decided victory oyer the opposition at
this time, will be felt for many years, and
will relieve US from much effort and difficulty
hereafter. 1t will settle all the fanaticisms
of the day, destroy the iactiOus spirits who
would array one portion OF the nationai
coufederacy against another, and utterly
crush the fell monster of disunion Every
instinct of patriotism, then, demands our
best efforts, and every man who loves his
country, his party, and his race, should now
show bis faith by his works-by decided,
vigorous, energetic effort, We look to you
for it.
The candidates on the State ticket deserve
our exertions, and their success will be
ours; and besides, years will elapse before
another important election will be held
before an opportunity will offer to do so
muck as can now be done for our principles
and our cause.
1t is not mere assumption. that Penn
sylvania holds the fate OF the. nation in her
hands, debating its policy, and curbing and
controlling its factions and its fanatlcisms.
II she waver, these latter will soon riot il
triumph over the ruins of our national
glory, and power but while she remains
firm, patriotism can bid defiance to wrong,
and the bulwark Of civil liberty will remain
as free from Injury as thoug b no boisterous
wave beat against its base. In recent
contest, Pennsylvania, by the influence and
power of her great name, while the country
was trembling with fear oil the worst re-
suits, placed her most eminent son in the
National Executive Chair. He has ad.
mustered the Government with marked
ability and Justice, and has we'll nigh stilled
the voice of faction and turbulence. Shal
we now prove reereant to him i'll the hour
of his triumph, and by supnencss lose the
glory and the public profit of his achieve
ments Rather, shall we not, like true
men, strike a final blow with energy-witl
all our power-to overwhelm the opponent
of his policy, establish his and our doctrine
as indisputible law, and thus secure lastin,
peace to our country, and good will amongs
all our people TO discharge this grca
duty, and to secure these highly patriot
ends, We repeat to you, it is only necessar,
to 60 to work with manly determination t
get out full vote of the people at tn
, ensuing election. Let US not fail in this
nor have cause hereafter to reproach cur
selves with Incidence or indifference.
We desire also to call your attention
the proposed amendments to the Constitu
ton, These are of very great importanc,
aud deserve general support. They wi
arrest much improper legisl alton, preyel
many local difficulties and protect the peopI
against the accumulation Of public debt
, We hope you will see to it that tickcIs
proper form for them are printed an
circulated with the State ticket il yol
County.
