From every section of the country where
freedom of speech and action are tolerated
we hear intelligence that augurs well for the
triumphant success of Republicanism this
fall. "Old ABE" is taking like wild-fire.-
In New York the Americans are running up
his name, and promise him their entire
strength. The Buffalo Commercial .4dcerti-
ser, the organ of WILLARD FILLMORE, hoists
his name, and this gentleman himself, it is
said, will take the stump in his behalf if nee
essary. Pennsylvania, heretofore the battle
field where the fate of Presidential candidates
have been decided, is wheeling into line with
an earnestness, and enthusiasm for the cause
of freedom, that will be certain to give the
Republican ticket twenty thousand majority
this fall in that State. New England says
that Honest ABE is just the man for them,
and the Northwest is all blaze for her IA
vorite son. Men of years and experience in
political warfare, and who do not say so
merely because they wish it to be so, predict
that LINCOLN and HAMLIN will be elected by an
Overwhelming majority, and if the signs OF
the times do not fail altogether, this must be.
People have given Democracy fair and i'm
partial trial, and it has been found to be I'M
worthy the support of honorable men. 1t
has departed from the principles and land
marks of its founders, and steadily pursnes a
course Of action, that would, of necessity, if
allowed to prevail, set at naught the doc
trines Of the Constitution, and utterly de-
stroy the vital principles upon which Re-
publican form of government is based. The
people are now awakening to these stubborn
facts; and are arising in their might and will
say to this corrupt party, you have abused
the confidence and trust we reposed in you,
YOU have forfeited all claims to our support
and you must give way to honest men, who
will administer the government in manner
that will subserve the interests of the People,
and promote the prosperity and permanence
of our institutions in the manner designed
by the forefathers of the Republic. Men who
heretofore, have always voted the Democratic
ticket, are joining hands with the Republi-
cans in this campaign. Corruption and fraud,
reckless extravaganza and malfeasance in Of
flee, have been carried to such an extent du-
ring the last four years that if they would be
true to themselves and the best interests of
the country, they must unite with us, and
deprive this corrupt party of the power that
will enable it to repeat the unworthy actions
that have characterized its administration for
the last four years, and which stand mon
ument of disgrace to the federal government.
And this will be done. Democracy has
transgressed beyond all forbearance, and as
it forfeited its solemn pledges, it forfeited all
claims to the support Of honest men, and it
has no one else to thank for this but ITSELF
The chill blasts of next November will sweep
through the broken and dismembered ranks Of
the once great Democratic party, now an OBJ
ject of scorn, and contempt, all brought
about by a persistent course of fraud and
corruption, and an utter disregard ofthe prin-
ciples it was expected to promote, and the
rights of the people which it was expected to
espousc.
