as- The Union and Amey,ean. during fl

E8- The Union and American, during the
last few days, has been crying as piteously
as drowning child. 1t is making every ap-
peal for its party to rally. The Union and
American has not uttered one cry too many.
1t shad better still devote its energies TO
rallying its party, for the few remaining days
intervening. between this and the election.
The party being disguised by the division
and wranglings and 'malpractices of its
leaders, the only hope is to excite their
sympathies. Even that is a miserably poor
reliance. The sympathy of the honest masses
is not easily to be obtained in behalf of the
clustering corpse" of decaying party.
Having lost its power for good, the people
are turning from it with scorn and loa,hing.
This is manifested on every hand, and inspires
us with new hope for the permanence of our
institutions and the safety of the republic.
Though we cannot see any reasonable hope
for the success of the Democracy in the present
canvass, we certainly have ao'aisposition to
deprive our neighbors Of the last remaining
consolation, that Of prayerfully appealing to
the party. In the event Of a crushing defeat
they will at least be able to say to the
wandering spectre, that will haunt them
'shake not thy CORY locks at US, it was not

The Canvass.

We have never. for years, had more cheer
ing indications of glorious triumph in all
our State elections, than are pouring in upon
us from all quarters The signs are good
for carrying the legislature, a majority of
the Congressional delegation and the cleo
tion of SETHERLAHD. What man of the OPP
position is not willing to exert all his powers
for the accomplishment of such = RESULT
Who is there, who loves the principles for
which we are contending, will play the part
of a laggard when such triumph is to be
won? Everything depends upon full vote.
Let us have it-let the 4th of August roll
back the tide Of democratic power, with all
its iniQuities and shortcomings, beyond the
borders of Tennessee, and let her, the centre
column in the temple of the Union, greet the
sisterhood of States from the Aroostook to
the Rio Grand, and from the Atlantic, to
the Pacific, with the cheering cry of calls
we'll"
Men Of the Opposition: The legiona OF
the Democracy are wavering; throw your
selves into the breach; give yourselves up to
the work, and the day is ours. The Ides OF
August are upon US.
Brave friends, now for your grandsires' sakes,
Your country, honors, what may inspire
Your souls with courage, strain up all your powers
To make that day VIGOROUSLY oursi'
