in their stead, we'll assured that the
permanent success Of such sentiments
guarantees sthe downfall of our country.
What then can the Democratic party
do to avert such calamity? $50
If We regime and murmur, and qai,
city fold our arms, we need never ex-
pect recurrence of the good OLE
times when we were happy and uni,
ted people. Let the great derl ocratic
party resolve that it will never rest
until success shall ag'.in be theirs.
This is no time for ls..menting over de-
teat cut Tor earliest and determined
actien, aud a "long pull, a strong pull,
and a p,ll altogether" will wrest the
power from those whom 50 recklessly
WELD it.
1t was favorite saying among the
ancients: 1.-The gods help those who
help themselves. There is a good
illustration of this principle in one of
Esop's fables. A countryman, in
crossing a stream, unfortunately was
stalled. For while he whipped his
horses, but all to no purpose. Finally
becoming discouraged, he ceased his
! efforts and besought Hercules to come
to his assistance. The GOD came, and
in answer to the complaint said, ''You
fool, instead Of crying for help, get up
and put your shoulder to the wheel,
and try to get your cart out."
Let the Democratic party buckle on
their armor and prepare for the cans
paign of 1864. Let every man feel
that he is a host in himself, and that the
responsibility of defeat or victory rests
upon his own endea7ors, and the tri-
umph of sound democratic principles
will follow. IT'S true we have strong
opposition. 'Tis true that the admin
istration can command influences new
er at the disposal of any former one.
IT'S true thatit has tools, in the shape
of public officers, in s~ery state, coun-
ty and neighborhood, and these men
hate the democratic party with per-
feet hatred. Numbers of them are
renegade democrats, who, for consid-
Grafton, have sold themselves to do the
dirty work of the administration, and
there is nothing too low or mean fer
these men. They are unscrupulous,
and will leave no stone unturned.-
Their great idea is the destruction of
the democratic party.
The administration has money and
bayonets, and will not hesitate to use
either or both in order to carry out
their designs. Notwithstanding all
this, success is within the reach Of the
Democratic party. Let US "pick the
flint and try it again" "One fire more
and the day is ours" 1t will require
earnest work from earnest men, and
nothing but work will insure success.
1t is useless to theorize, we need
something practical, and VIC now pro-
pose that Immediately, in every town
ship inthe county, therebe athorough
organization of the party, and that the
leading men in every community iden-
tify themselves with such organizations,
and interest themselves in seeing that
good, sound democratic documents
are circulated among the people.
We have a year yet in which to
work, and in that length of time much
can be accomplished. "Up, guards,

Il has lan. been remarked among

arguments. We believe it is also noticea
bic that those who commence calling hard
names are generally in thewrong. Re-
publicans call US Democrats Copper heads'
asssl traitors, aud have persisted in this
against earnest prote stations. They have
rallesl Governor Seymour of New York, a
trsifersthey have called Governor Parker
OF New Jersey, traitor. They eall all
Ihetf traitors who do not agree with them.
They elected a President under the
banneys and nainc Of Republican,. But
they have brought reproach upon the
word; they have given it very bad odor,
and so they arc quietly dropping it, and
calling themselves ssloyal men, Union
mcn, and organizing Loyal Leagues"
aud Unfsa Leagues" as much as to say
tIiafsall disagreeing with them are not
~koyal men, are not Union men. g
Any man of sense must smile at this,
a is so palpably absurd. They feel little
ashamed Oft, ut times, themselves. Those
eminent traitors, Governors Seymour and
Parker, in their sending of troops to the
defense of Pennsylyanis, we presume
cannot comprehnd Why they should be
called traiters They believe they are
acting for the Union; they seem to do all
they can for the Union when emergency

Of Philadelphia to call these gentlemen
traitors when the tens of thousands are
