The Duty OF THE DEMocRAcY.-Our neighbors of
the Herald and indeed all the opposition papers
throughout the East call upon that section to do its
duty So do we. If the East only does it's duty to
itself and to its principles all will be right
The East is Democratic The principles Of Dc.
mocracy are those which guard her greatest and
most important rights and interests indeed they
do those Of the whole State If the East only does

crafts 0we To- themselves, and to their party, 70 be
fairly represented by men Of their own principles.
