To the True Democracy of Howard.


Constitutional men Of Howard! Are
you ready TO give up the ship? Have you
determined TO LET the minions and tools OF a
man ride rough shOd over you and your
principles, without an effsrt on your Part
to save the rights of the Seuth-the guar
antees of the Constitution. which are the
very foundations of the Federal Union p
We repeat the question, "Are you going to
give up The ship" We have everything to
hope, everything 10 encourage, everything
TO gain. Cast your eyes over the land: IN
all parts of the country you see all The an
Glen, and tried democrats the fathers-ths
High Priests Of the organizaticn-the lead
ers and conquerors of an hun lred battle
fields, some of whom have long since re-
tired, and seine still in the council house,
returning to The field, with their armer on.
They-ar In the strife for your country
Marx what an honored scroll: Buchanan,
Pierce, Cass, Dickinson. .Toucey, Seymour,
Lans. Gwinb, Latham, Hallet, aud many
other time henored lights, matured BY age
and nodded by experience, are on the bat
tie ground. in the midst of the enemy, and
on the side ofthe Constitution.
Look at the Electoral Ticket in the old
Dominion, and you see the names of Hun
ter, Mason, Wise, Russell, Smith, and 9th.
er honored names, in that "Honored Com
monwealth," are in the fight, almost TO the
Hast man.
And before the combined hordes, the
,."Wids Awakes" and the "Plugs," carry
sold Kaintuck," against tho cause OF Truth
and The Constitution, every inch Of her soil
will be knee deep with political blood.
North Carolina, Arkansas and Texas
have achieved gallant and soul-stirring vic
tories. The true democracy of evsry State
in the Union, are organizing and throwing
their banners 10 the breeze. In our sOwn
State. Polk, Green, Ewing, NaptOn. Par
sons, .Hough, Massey, jackson, Morrison,
Clark, Stark, Knott, Atchison, and many
others are in the field, ready 10 strike where
the blow is needed. The eleciioneering
charge Of DisuniOn, made against such
names as these, by DOuglasites, deserves 10
be mentioned only that it may be dispised.
Itmay scare towards, but not full grown,
brave hearted democrats. The csnard that
Douglas is the Irregular" is only made to
gull iguoramuses. The friends Of BnEcK-
rsRIDGE and LANE have Shed their blood
on the field of their cOuntry's battles, and
stood up for The Constitution il the Sen
ate House, -
Have they changed? Have they deserted
their country and their principles, or has
s.ihe Douglas .elss4sr.etiaaa Arc ttyu-tu-bei
trusted? are they to- be- followed, or shall
"the Douglas" lead? Shall we follow such
lifelong disorganizers and semi-abclition-
lists as FOrney, Hickman, Douglas, Paschal,
King, Birch, Jim } and Drake2 NEVER
NElER!!
The undersigned then recommend that
all true friends Of cur National and State
Platforms, and Of BREcKINRIpGE and LANE,
meet at The town of Fsyette, on Monday,
lOM September, for the purpose Of organiz-
ing and appointing delegates to our State
at Jefferson City, on the Goth
September.
Judge Clark, ond other distinguished
speakers will be present.
