can Gag run up; and with thege facts before
he country, an. instructed BY the Demo-
cratic party Of Wayne county 20 eoF.promiss.
Let US not talk Of compromiss now; but
rather let as establish the fact that We have
government that will protect itself and
punish traitors ct ali hazards.
There Is a band Of patriotic men in the
South who are having fearful fght In some
Of the border slave States for the CoHstiH6On
and the Union; these men have my warm
sympathy and full regard. Anything at the
proper time thas can be done to ala these
men to Sustain themselves In their gallant pO-
sion, that does not require e sacrifice Of
principle am willing TO do; but the first
question to be settled Is whether We have any
government, and everything else must be
subordinate to this. When the Stars and
stripss Of our country shall wave where now
the rattlosnake flag is waited by the wind !;
when the Us,ioH shall be acknowledged Gs
liked fact and the OOHtshRiOh obeyed BY the
South; when the authority OF the federal
government shall be admitted by the insur-
gents; when the fOrts, arssnals money, and
other property have been returned 70 the
proper owner, which have been taken BY
traitors from the United States when the
mob army OF the South shall be dispersed, and
every man perform his duty TO our country
in this her hour Of peril; and when It shall
be admitted by the Southern States that the
voice of a majority Of the people expressed
in legal way shall govern the uation useH,
I am willing TO hear the grievances from that
section, and to consider them, if they have
any worthy of consideration; but until then
shall regard il my duty, as | deem it the
duty Of every man who loves his country, to
stand firmly by the Constitution az It's and
the Union eemented by the blood of the pa
triots of lT76, and the sIlforcemGHf Of al tqlgs
made in pursuance OF the C0HsatHtion. This
is a platform broad enough for every patriot
in our. country to stand upon, and ample for
the protection Of every interest in the United
States. With prudence and fTTsHSSs, believe
our good old ship of state will outride this
storm, and bring up IN the haven of freedom,

NAMES OF SUBSCRIBERS WRITTEN
ON EVERY PAPER.
AufOr One Dollar per Year, in Clubu.

We are now hvirg in tbe age Of REBEL
ion. The South, not content with having
had the control of our Government almost
entirely ever since the formation OF the Goa
stitution, are now endeavoring to break up
our glorious Union, merely because for once
the power is taken out of her hands. Overt
acts and hostility have already been COM
menced against the Federal authorities, and
where it will end, no man knows.
If there ever was time when every man
should take a good newspaper, which will
keep him posted in regard to the news Of the
day, now is that time. Such newspaper
is the LEADER.
In addition to the important matters oc-
curing in our own country, the news from
Europe for at least the year to come, will be
of stirring interest. The heroic and patriotic
Garibaldi in struggling to build up liberal
and united government in Italy; old thrones
are crumbling into ruin-sSciety is in a
transition state.
The great advantages in taking a Home
paper, like the Leader, over the Eastern
Weeklies, are these:
Owing to our great Telegraphic arrange
ments, we are enabled to give news three to
FIVE days earlier than can possibly be deHv..
cred by Eastern papers. The LEADER gives
more home news, both political and current,
than can be done by Eastern cotemporaries.
The postage on the LEADER is I3 to 20 cents
less a year. than on Eastern papers. The
columns Of the LEADER viii be enriched by
the illusions of correspondents from all parts
of the Union.
There is one service that we solicit from
OGr Republican Friends, and that is, to lend
their aid in getting up Clubs tor the coming
year. Let it be remembered that we need
just the kind Of assistance that can only be
derived from friends scattered through the
country, and if each one will feel that be
ought to act and take hold with a win, we
can commence the new year with a subscrip-
ton list greater than We ever had. asa
One hour in twenty-four spent in reading,
and ONE DOLLAR per year, will give the
running history, as it transpires, of two con-
tinents, besides a vast amount of information
on every subject and in every department Of
knowledge. There is no man WHO is NOT
able to spare the dollar and devote the time
for such a return.
After presenting the above, we hope OuI
friends will exert themselves to back US ir
our enterprise.
