they are sAtitlsd 70 the cordial and active
support OF every true democrat in the
State, which earnestly hope, and con-
hdently believe, they will receive.
The coming October election-when
not only several important State Offices
ara 10 be Riled, but Members of Congress
are TO be ehosen-is one Of decided i'm
portanoe. To bFmg yvikh It, once more,
II possible, victory TO the democratic
party, and defeat to our opponents, Is the
plain duty, il seems to me, Of every voter
Who honestly believes the prime; Piles Of
that party 70 be just and right, and those
Of its opponents wrong, and dangerous
to the public interests, and the safety Of
the Union. What democrat who is tru-
ly such in principle. and at heart, was
not deeply mortified, anu Inundated,
four years ago, when for the frat time,
in q gubeFnational election, our noble
young State swung of from her Demo
cratic moorings towards tha hagen of
the enemy? 4 resalE-howeVsr boaght

never since recovered Bat, how much
deeper Was that modification when in
tbs Presidential contest Of two years ago,
swinging still further away, Iowa was
sundered, politically, FROM her nearest
neighbors, Illinois on the one eide, and
Missouri upon the other, together with
gallant Indiana, glorious old PeunsYlva-

where, notoriousiy, ths abolition sLeDasnt

thousand other foul and fostering isRss

control their dest,ulcs
Shall she be suffered 10 remain in this
humiiistlaE posiuonl Or, redeemed,
and purified, Prom the tAint thus brought
upon her shall she onee more resume her
proud rank as a democratic State? Ii

days Of old, when victory never failed
to perch upon their banner! What be-
cause we have once or twice suffered de-

that our fathers did, after each disaster
that occurred 20 the American arms, be-

Throwing aside, then, fellow demo-

Of determination aRIm8te u. Let us

il! Our cause and oar principles are the
same now thar they have ever been the
same By which the government has been
administered whenever ths Democratic
party has been in power; the same that
we're triunphanEly upheld-agninst an
opposition four fold more bitter, and
