H e a r HIM !,

Honest Democrats OF Wyandot county
who are now being dragooned into the
ranks of secessiondom by party hacks,
intent only upon self interest, at the ex>
pcnse of the Union Read tbs subjoin-)
ed article from the pen of the editor OF
the Hamilton Telegraph, man who has
always been identified with the demo
cratic party, but, whose patriotism in a
time of national danger, rises above
mere partyism, and who won't be led
by demagogues, to the support of a
ticket, whose aim and end is to aid anu
abet treason at the North.
He talks like an American: and we
recommend his remarks to the careful
perusal Of every true Douglas demo
crat in the county. This is no time to
be dallying with treason. There is too
much of itialfeadysin the land, and the
soonerit is crushed the better.
Hear then what a true Douglas dem
ocrat has tozsay upon the nominees and
the platform of the 9TH of August con-
.yention, and then determine whether you
will unite in surrendering the Union.
s"Sooner than subscribe to and work up
on this platform, and be thus sold out to
the interest Of the. band of couspirators
and traitors at the South and thus 90
gainst their country, all genuine Demo.
Gratis will see the party 60 to that political
pcrdiiion to which such platform will
Instantly and eternaIIy send it, The
masses Of the Democracy are not ready
to follow some of tteir corrupt and dis
honest leaders on this short line rout to
SO deep and fathomless a political he'll
No, they are fos their country right
or wrong" and against assaiants fro u
any and every quarter whether from
without or within. They have no SYM
pathy with rebels and traitors. There
isno party or political resolutions or
platforms strong enough to sever their
affection and support from their country
We thank God that this is not q demo
cratic platform, and that the masses of
the Democracy will not rally under it for
a moment. They would as soon if not
sooner make their bed with the abomi-
nable Abolition fanatics of the North as
thus to lie down with armed traitors oil
The South.
But they do not intend to do either oi
these things. They intend to support
both the principles Of Democracy and
their Government irrespective of Ad.
ininistrations. They feel in the language
of the great and lamented Douglas, tn
mo man can be, true Democrat with
out being at the same time loyal patri-
OF, and that there are but two positions
10 assume, we must be either for or a.
gainst cur Government, either patriots OF
traitors"
There is being held at Middletown te
night, meeting of the Democracy o.
that place to denounce the proceedings oil
this 'sbastard Phaeton'' Convention, e
be followed by a rousing one in lhi, city
10 pass such IT solutions as will be boti
democratic and patriotic, and will wasl
the handle Of the Democracy of the
stigma and disgrace they have put upor
us. There is scarcely q democrat to b,
found in Ibis city who will acknowledge,
that he endorses the proceedings OF th,
Convention. There is general and ir
repressible feeling Of Indignation at thi
abomtnable attempt to commit the dem
ocraey of old Butler TO the damnabl,
beresy Of Secession, and to get it to as
sumo o hostile attitude to the Govern
nent in the vigorous prosecution of th'
war. f.-s --.-
