publicans of the United States. recently
addressed Republican meeting at Tifin.

said
They the Democrats tell you we are

negroes free. SO WEAREl We believe
as YOU do, that in l776 "all men were ere,
Ated free and equal endowed with GER

They meant just what they said and thoy
repeatedly spoke of negroes as men, and
as persons. THEY MEANT THE NE.

The Prospect Brightens

However unpleasant and disconraging
may be- tho present aspect Of affairs Of tho
approaching Presidential election, 20 the
Democracy, aud to all Conservative mon,
we rejoice in the fact that as far as the
October election is sconcerned, tho pros.
pect was mover brighter. This we say 20
our friends without any wish TO raise
hopes We do not entertain ourselves
Our party is perfectly united upon Gen.
Foster, our candidate for Governor. The
same may be said ofaIl the Congressional
and Legislative districts. The question
of Lccompton or anti-Le-ompton-Ad.
Iministrutiom or nti-Admlnistration--
Breckenridge or Douglas--is not asked by
any man who does not prefer the election
of a Black Republican. Besides this, the
friends of Bell and Everett have as much
to gain in the election OF Foster and tho
defeat Of the Republicans, as the Demo.
crats Hence, where they have no can
didatcs Of their own, they can only vote
for the Democrats. Thus the wholecon
servatiye strength Of tho State will be u
nted against the Republicans at the Oc.
tober election, which must result in de,
cisive victory.
We are we'll aware Of the paralyaing off
fort of division in a political party Ard
even row we sometimes hear discour
aged friend say 30, there is no ouse in
trying to do anything--we are divided,
and there is no hope of success"
Bat this is mistake. SO far rs the Oc-
tober election is concerned there "a no dicis,
ioa This, every Democrat should bear in
mind. We are not only perfectly united,
but are strengthened by the accession Of
a large conservative vote that has hereto
tore been against US. And the result of
the October election, wo hope, will be
such as to convince all conservative men
Of the absolute necessity of united action
in November. ... ... ..a ....
We therefore say to our Democratic
fellow citizens Of Clarified county, that
all is welI-that victory is certain-and
that they should 90 to york as if there was
no other election this fall except that of
October What matters it to you or to US
whether our candidates prefer Douglas or
Observation-Disclosures they were for Le.
or against Lecompton Is it
not enough that we believe them to be
qualified for Q proper discharge of the du,
ties assigned them, and that we know
them to be opposed to the dangerous aud
destructive doctrines of the Republican
Their success will be a
Republican defeat, and a Republican de-
feat will Le national blessing. Then,
Democrats, so to work in good earnest,
and roll up. an old fashioned majority for
FOSTER, for Governor X L RR for Con-
grcss BENTON and BRADY for Assem-
bly,; THOMPSON for Commissioner, and
BOWMAN for Auditor. ... ...

Foreign exchange did not vary last week. The
rates for bankers bills London l095 for GO

decline in the importation Of dry goods and general
merchandise and the increase of exports of produce,
have made vast difference in the business Of the

has been small margin for profit on shipments of

been made by shippers since April last. The ship
ments are considerably below the average for some
years past.
