DpunpCpHtiC Clubs.

In nearly every county in Ohio, as well ns
Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa. and other tatrs, tho Democracy have
organized clubs and hold weekly meetings
which are addressed by good spcakers.--
These clubs are destined to accomplish great
good. All the Democratic party needs Is to
havc its principles clearly set before the peo
pie, and it's aims and objects fully understood
Everything in the political horizon indicates
terribly severe contest in the approaching g
election. On one side it will DO waged for
the rest oraton OF peace aud tho redempt ion
OF the country from tho bllckness Of dark
ness which invirons Il, and on the other il
will be persistent warfare to retain the
spoils Of Office and accomplish the overthrow
OF slavery at all hazards. The safety OF the
GcveInment, the hopes OF the country and
tho pr sperity of the people all depend upon
the popular verdict at the next election. The
patriotic principles, tho devotion to the I'm
ion as made by our Revolutionary fathers.
and The undyiug attachment of all true Dem
ocrats to constitutional liberty which are now
so violently assailed by the party in power
win make them conduct the campaign with a
visor and an energy that could only be promp-
tod by so great an inducemcnt as tho accom-.
plishment OF their noble desires.
The Abolltionists madleped with public
plundcr fanatical in everything, crazy on the
negro question, and prompted by Ilel's black
est minions to secure the freedom of the ne
groos at all and every sacriilcc-even the dc
struction Of the Union now and forever
will make persistent resistance to the onward
march of the Democratic party.
In view OF the approaching contest it be.
comes the Democracy to be armed for the
conflict. Let the clubs be formed in every
township, Democratic newspapers and docu.
rncnts freely and judiciously circulated, and
let the most active and energetic men be nom.
mated for office.
