the Resolution they adopted Is part Of their
Platform: as
"Resolced That the course Of our Democratic
Representatives in the present Congress of the Unit
ed States meets with our warmest approval and that
tho mualy and patriotic action Of those national
Democrats from tie misunderstanding States soho
haus MOLLY cooperated and continue to cooperate
Nth them, demands cordial and heartfelt recog-
milton at our hands"
Did the Convention intend to exclude from this
cordial and heartfelt recognition" the hundreds of
thousands of Northern Democrats who are now sup
porting Douglas with o zeal and enthusiasm which
have carried terror to the ranks of the black Re-
pubhcans? If they are to be repudiated from whom
pray, in that section, can expect aid, should the
day of trial come? Is it WISE is it just is it
honest, to pronounce sentence of condemnation
on these men-gallant and true as they have al
ways proved-and declare they are unworthy of
our association and confidence? If we reject their
leader, their great representative man. can We ex-
pect to retain them? Away with such folly and
madness-such base ingrattudc!
In conclusion, there are still her considerations
which demand that you stand firmly, and with un.
wavering resolution and courage by your colors

aid to such designs as are foreshadowed by the de-
caratons and acts of the leaders of the "Seceders'
Ticket?' Do you intend to submit tamely, and
with spirit to the declaration of those who
are seeking an opportunity to precipitate the coun
try into Revolution? Knowing these things-and
feeling your obligation as patriots-how can you
support Breckenridge and Lane? Stand by your
colors, then, my countrymen? Stand by the mer
in whom you have confidence. Stand By the NO.
tional nominees of your pnrty-Douglas and John
son. The people are rallying every where agains
the Seceders. Missouri has spoken in thunder tones
for Douglas. The indignant rebuke which the gal
liant sons Of old Kentucky have given the "seces
cion ticket" has swept away every vestige of hop'
for Breckenridge in his own State. The friends

North Carolina alone are his friends the friends
the regular nominees of their party-the friends o
the Union-too craven hearted to bid indignant de

boldly for the right? Nerer-NEvER! Rally then
