elected, he will be powerless to carry out
his irrepressible abolition doctrines. and
the victory for which the wooies are so
earnestly contending will prove a barren
one--except so far As he division Of spoil

This fact should encourage Democra :
to rersevere. All is not lost. nor are the
results If the late election so disastrous as

we believe a part at least Of these States
may yet b. carried for Douglas. But to
DO this we must have better Organization
than we had at the late election, and every
man must zaalously DO his whole duty to
his party and his country. There is no
time to lose. The election draws nigh
and what is done must be done at once
