Democrats Remembers!
That the misnamed Democratic ticket,
nominated by clique of officeholders, at
Murphy's, on the 10th July, is composed,
not OF Democrats, but of Old-line Wings,
obsolete Knew No.hings and that there
is not man upon their State ticket, who
can show clean Democratic record for
three years past
Remember that the Popular Sovereign
ty Democratic party adheres to all the an,
cient landmarks of the Democracy, and
that Marlette, and Shuler, and O'Brien
and Demier were battling for the party
and its principles when the Lecompton
nominees were In the councils of the XII
Yi's, worshipping strange gods.
sea. Remember, Democrats, that if
you vote for the Murphy ticket, you in
dorse the naughty and arrogant doctrine
that q White laboring men are no better
than the 'mud-sills' of society" Ham
mond, of South Carolina, one of the
Administration party has sneeringly spo-
ken it, and the Lecompton press have
amplified upon the sentiment.
nsap Remember that the doctrine of
Popular Sovereignty, stinks in the nos
trils of such men as Secretary Cobb,
Senatorssbavis,. Green, Hunter and Ma
son, and that these men are the enemies
of Douglas and the friends of the Le-
compton swindle
neA Remember that the Administra
ton is straining every nerve to defeat
Senator Douglas reelection to the IT, S.
Senate in Illinois, by an "unholy and
unnatural alliance with the Black Re-
publicans.
pA Remember tnat Gov. Wise, of Va.
Gov. Walker, Senator Bell, of Tenn.
Senator Crittenden, of KY, and host of
Southern Democrats are aciM Douglas
and against the Administration on the
doctrine of Popular Sovereignty.
ag- Remember that B. F. Washing
ton, collector of the port of San Fran
cisco, has said that he would rather see
Lincoln, the Black Republican, elected
to the United States Senate, from Ills.,
than Stephen A. Douglas
nsa Remember that the People of
Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia,
with large portion of Texas, Louisiana
and Missouri, are with Douglas on the
Popular Sovereignty question
neA Remember that if you support the
nominees of the Murphy's Convention,
you countenance the infamous PROPOSE
tioa that o',c citizen of slaceholding
State Is equal, bstore Congress, to three
citizens Of non-slareholeltng State !!
n@A Remember that the Popular Sove
reignty ticket, with John Currey for Su-
preme Judge, at its head, is the only true
Democratic ticket, and that the Lecomp-
tonites virtually deny the right of the
people of Territory to make their own
Constitution, free from the interposition
of the Federal power; therein, aiming
death-blow at the sovereign rights of the
States and the liberties of the people,
neA- Remember that all good and true
Democrats hold themselves subject to the
provisions of the Cincinnati platform,
and that it was engrafted as a cardinal
principle in that test of Democratic faith,
that /" Congress should neither legislate
slavery into any State or Territory or ex-
clude it therefrom, but leave the people
thereof perfectly free to regulate their
own domestic institutions In their own
way" that James Buchanan took this
test of faith, knowing it to point directly
to the unsettled condition of affairs In
Kansas, and that shortly after his inau-
guration, yielding to the sophistry of
small but dangerous party of extremists
who were admitted into his most private
councils, he turned his back upon this
cardinal plank of his political platform,
and alienated himself from many of the
noblest champions of the Democracy.
Rg- Remember that Broderick, Wise,
Douglas, McKibben, Crittenden, Dudley,
Marlette, Shuler, O'Brien, Demier, are
standing upon the same platform" the
right of the people of State or Terri
tory to rule their own domestic institu-
tions in their own way" In all other re-
spects they arc with the President.
pg- Remember to vote the Popular
Sovereignty Democratic ticket, and save
the country from the evils of Federalism
