Thus it will be seen that the douglas
cause in Missouri is triumphant. No
human power can prevent Douglas and
Johnson from carrying the State by an
overwhelming majority in November
next.
DEMOCRATS, up and to the work with
high heart and an impassioned vigor.
Your enemies are bold and unprinci-
pied; they are leaving no work undone,
from the organization Of secret military
companies to that Of Rail Splitters
Clubs. If you wish to deserve success
each and all of you must work, acork'
WORK. Put your shoulders to the

neighbors. Again we say organize
