districts we have indicated. There is, then a en-.

So far have spoken Of the probable gains for the L

popular cause As an offset to this, however, the d,
ocrats should endeavor to secure the member from
Allegheny district represented by Mr.. Hoffman Ths
were only beaten 1877 votes at the presidential eect
and with the right candidate and perfect union they \
overcome The odds against them.
We have now gone over the whole field, with view

duce irreparable mischief The brunt of the battle
the democracy of Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee No
Carolina and Alabama They can either save or sacr
and with them, bold unsel6sh, and true, whenever p
pies are at stake duty points the way there is safety
success. We have an abiding faith that they will

Virginia, Georgia. Mississippi Louisiana, Texas and
souri, will contribute their voice to swell the general
ioicing The North has done welbetter than was anti
pated-and promises more for the future. The South
never faltered let the South stand firm now Lei |
South vote for members of Congress the South voted
November last and all will be well.
