THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY
FOR THE
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

It is unnecessary for us to
urge the Importance to the
country of the success of the
Democratic party in the next
campaign. It will possess a
double interest, being both
State and National, and Ohio
is to be the scene Of the hot
test part Of the contest. Every
Democrat
"Should feel as though himself were he
On whose sole arm hung victory"
No other means of insuring
party success is half as effec-
tive as the circulation of well
conducted political papers; and
county papers are, in their
sphere, far more useful than
papers published at distance,
where the local preferences
and prejudices of the county
are unknown.
We intend to make the
"Sp1R1r," during the approach
ing campaign, better than it
has ever been heretofore, and
fully equal to any county pa
per in the State. In order to
give it more general circula-
tion we offer the following
terms, Ito be paid in advances:
ONE COPY for 80 weeks, commencing
Immediately after the Charleston Conven-
tion, = IS cents.
TEN COPIES, and one to the get
tor up of the club, $3.50
TWENTY COPIES, and one to tho
getter up of the club, $l4,00
If the getter up of the club be ut pres
ent subscriber, the price of a copy wi!
be credited to him. All subscriptions
should be sent in against the lst Of May
There is not a township in the county il
which from Is to 100 may not be obtain
ed.
Fellow Democrats, we know
we are in the right; let us dc
our duty, and these hills shall
again reverberate with the
thunders of eighteen, hundred
and tifty-six.
