The results of the recent elections should be no

had a party to contend with more fear
full odds The whole power of the Gov
eminent, with its immense corruptlng pat
a ronage, was turned against it. Ii was
struggle for existence BY the party in power
And il triumphed by means. which if persisted in
and not condemned by the people. must end in
the overthrow of free institutions and popular
government. Ii is better for future success
party. and for the good of the country. to
be defeated upon an issue of principle than to
this fall presents the most satisfactory evidence
that the Democracy are strong and vigorous.
We have but to continue the contest with the
same devotion to true principles and just meas
ures that characterized the party under the lead
of Jefferson and Jackson to achieve victories
equally triumphant And there is but one road
TO lasting success The party must stand upon
principle-ola fashioned Democratic principle
as the basis offs efforts To use the language OF
a contemporary: Democrats. there is no reason
for Encouragement for you in this defeat. II
may be turned to your real triumph. Enroll the
true men Of your districts. and townships, and
counties. Organize them in their several dis
tricts. Instruct them in the first principles oil

this work. So the present defeat will rebound
to an enduring benefit"
