Democrats got in such way of boiling
that they cane b4c. home and bolled the

the regular nominees for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency, these boilers agreed
among themselves TO plsy B,l.imore ON
the men tia! they had helped to nominate.
They were. and sill are. loud in their de-
nuucia,ions Of Black Il 'pub.icsnisn or Alb
olitfoni,,a. and say that the election OF
Lincoln would be sufficient cause for the
Southern States to Withdraw from tho I'm

vote With the Black Republican party and
by their votes aud influence elect the old
Abo,iti.nisI Henry $ Lane, the nnan that

would be, the SYNONYM Of all that was no
bic and patriotic in this country.
In this State, their only OBJ 'cs can be

/. Is true that the Republican, party has by
fraud wing and everything else hey could
bring to ,heir aid, worked hard to defeat
the Democracy. For this they deserve
prai-, from BOLTON ,lizuni,n but to
the other wing OF the opposition to the
Democratic parry should the palm OF vic
tory b. awarded by the advocates of Sc
ee.sion aud disunion. everywhere. They
have. in their way, fought the battle and
crowned the sectional, Abolition party
with victory over those they have called
brothers, and who at the same time, they
were trying to stab to the heart.
True Democrats the position you eccu-
Nv j. a noble one--one that In years to
come you will point back to with pride
The principlc we are contendinS Tor IS
the ONLY one.tbat can be carried INTO elect
and the union Of the States maintained
Let US fight sectionaism and everything
that tends 10 a dissolution of the Union,
with courage, zeal aud patriotism that
knows no f.ltering fall we must let US
fall with our faces to the enemy OF the IN
ion. and with our National Flag and the
motto of the Constitution and the Un'o"
floating over US. We have great, noble
patriotic work to do. Let us every one
discharge the duty that devolves upon
us. This is no time for high or angry
words. but II is the time for sober, earnest,
patriotic appeals to your neigbors and as
sociates. There is no time TO be lost
The election is right upon US. Every sign
and movemeT portends evil. There IS
nothing less at stake than our country
our peace and our prosperity. These are
enough to stir every patriot and Democrat
to action. =
