Democrats Of viii County

In one week from to-day. the issue join
ed between us and our political opponents
will be decided before the high court Of the
people, from which there is 10 appeal. If
Democrats win reflect for a moment on the
Importance Of achieving victory on that
day, we are sure that they will arrange
their business so as to 10 present at the
polls.
The Cffces to be filed are important
Copgress, State Treasurer. Superintendent
of Public Instruction, the Legislature, and
two of tie principal county cfices. Thus
National. State, and county Offices combine
to give interest anG importance to the conn
ing election.
FIR State efieers we have, Alexander
Starne, John p. Brooks and James c. AL
len, who embody as much personal popular-
ity and Of peculiar fitness for the Offices it
is proposed to tl3ct them to, as any other
three men in the State.
For Congressman from this district T.
Lyle Dickey is our candidate. While we
are willing to admit that the candidates or
both sides are gentlemen of fine characters
| and good talents, we think that Col. Dickey
has decidedly the advantage of MIR. Norton
in some important particulars. Col Dick

Our candidates for county Offices are
George Monroe for Sheriff, and Eugene

they will make excellent officers. In fact
they are just the sort Of men to elect to Of

ticket you are asked to come forward and

The Election.

would call the attention of every
Union man 70 the Importance Of the ap-
preaching election. 1t is. in our opinion
the most important one thar has occurred
10 the history Of our country.
5 The baneful spirit Of Abolitionism has
been let loose upon the land and unless
crushed by the mighty power Of the con-
sentative element at the polls, will most
inevitably PROSTATE the rights and liberties
of the white man in the vain attempts to
elevate the black.
Democrats and conservative men, upon
you depends the safety Of our beloved
country.
the constitution, the permanent disruption
of the Union and the Importation of thou
sands Of freed negroes amongst 'us and
their elevation to an equality with the white
man. This is not only contest Cor civil
and political rights but also to maintain
the social and political supremacy of the
WhIte race over the black.
Therefore, Democrats, it more particu-
larly falls upon you to be vigiIant and ac-
tive between now and the closing of the
polls on next Tuesday evening. Let not
the excitement occasioned by the war.
withdraw your attention from the impnr-
lance of the approaching election. Whilst
the army of the Republic is crushing out
Secessionism on the bloody battle field, dc
not forget that you have duty to perform
by voting down Alb lition traitorism at the
polls.
And we would say to intelligept voters
everywhere, whatever may have been your
political views in few years rast, if you
desire to have Union of oil the States
and the country just as it has been for tbs
last seventy years and just as it was befor,
any disturbances took place less than tw,
years ago. rote tie Democratic ticket. Lay
aside your prejudiees, if you have any
The fact that the Democratic party did pre-
serve this Union for many years, is a gooc
indication that it will be able to restore
again, and bring about the good cid time
when we were united, prosperous and hap
| py people.
Again we say to everybody, if you de
sire return of the former prosperity an,
greatness and glory of the country, rote til
Democratic ticket.

Go TO the Pals.

Many Democrats and conservative men
mly think that there is no use Of their 90,
iaS 70 the election, because there is no
chance Of defeating the Republicans and
Aboitionists.
This is u miserable excuse. They Ger,
traiily cannot hope for success unless we
make some effort. There will be no change
in tho politics Of this county and State il
Democrats stay at home on the day Of cleo
ton. The way to succeed is to work for it.
| II every Democrat 10 this State will exert
himself, eth err by laSoring to bring out
full Democratic vote, or by inducing some
ofthose who voted for Lincoln, but who are
not attached to the Abolition party and it's
extreme negro doctrines, to 60 for our tick
ct, the State would most certainly be car
ried by the Democracy.
We woull say to those Democrats who
are discouraged and who do not think i.
worth while to make an effort that no man
ever attained success in life by folding his
arms in despair at the prospect. And 10
party ever secured victory without unrenit-
ting hopeful exertions
Bot aside from this, we hold that it is
the duty Of every American citizen and
most especially at this time,to exercise the
right Of voting. A man who elects to 20
to the polls ard vote, is neglected. of most
solemn duty. 1t is true our prospects for
success in this county at least may be con-
sidered by some as not the brightest, but
this should deter no friend Of the constitu-
ton from performing his whole duty. The
man whC will Eot go to election is hardly
worthy of being freeman, as he allows
others to govern him.
Democrats of Illinois, now is the time
for action. The successes of our bretheren
in Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania, should
nerve US to more determined ana resolute
efforts. We firmly believe that the Demo-
cratic party Of Illinois has a bright future
before it. 1t has been in a horeless mi
nority for many long years. and indeed ur-
til our State is well nigh ruined. The
party is now in fair way to emerge from
the cloud. And it will come out into the
sunshine the sooner if every Democrat will
be found at the polls on Tuesday the 4rh
day Of next month, ready to work for bis
party and country.

NatuTalized Citizens!

Stand arm to your princiyl cs-stand firm
by your parry. You have everything to
lose and nothing to gain by voting the Re
publican ticket, which is composed princi-
pally of men who once took the Know
Nothing oath. The Republican leaders are
your enemies. and would wrest from you
the privilege Of citizenship and give it to
the negroes whom they are bringing into
our state BY thousands. They would de-

The Powers that ne.

At the commencement of this terrible
war,ihe Democracy of the hyal S ates did
everything in reason and conscience to sus-
tain the Administration, and continued TO
do so as long as the constitution and laws
were recognized as the guiding chart But
when they found that the President and
his advisers ere succumbing to the Adolf
tiunists-that they were using the strong
arm of the Government 10 crush out all
liberty Of speech and the press, they were
driven to the alternative Of re-organizing
the old party of constitutional freedom in
order to make an effort TO restore the cour-
try to its for mer condition.
The prescription of the dominant party
knows no bounds Because Democrats have
dared to protest against this usurpation of
authority and TO eriticise any Of the acts Of
any of those in power, to object to the viz
lati, rs Of the constitution aud appointment
Of incompetent and dishonest men, whose
only claims were their love of the negro,

tories" and traitors" and. in numerous
instances. arrested by the military author
ity and imprisoned for months without law
and in oren violation Of every principle of
free government. For exercising the rights

5 fS ha l,,I
manly abused and Democratic presses have
been suppressed, and in many cases, total
ly destroyed by military power
Thus matters have been going for the
last eighteen months. Every day-,has adj
ded to the number Of these outrags s'upon
law, order, the constitution, ard the most
sacred Of private rights. Iudeed those acts
/ Of intolerance, prescription and tyranny
have been carried on to such an extent BY
Republican officials that the Democracy
had just grounds to apprehend that the
scenes which disgraced humanity during
the French revolution were about to be
re enacted in our own unfortunate coun
try.
During all this time the Democrac,
have never wayered 10 sustaining the row
ers that be, and have cbeerfully yielded
them obedience in all things. Presiden
Lincoln and the Republican rulers gener'
ally have been allowed all which Jus
confidence should graft to their station
and personal characters. But when i. be
came evident that our rulers were no Ionge
the guardians of public rights and libertie
the Democracy entered their protest, and
with some effect, as has been manifested
recently In some Of the loyal States.
But while the Democracy are willing T.
recognize and submit to the powers tina
be in all measures under the constitution
necessary to put down the rebsllon, the,
will exercise the right of selecting differen
rulers. This may be depended upon. Th
people are yet the source of power, an,
will exercise it, notwithstanding the mach
nations of arbitrary power AM malignan
partizanship.
