DEMOCRATS or ONO: You havo been

elsewhere, 10 vote against You, the Cunlcd-

You were beaten; but nuhlcr battle for
constitutional liberty and FREQ popular gov
crnmcnt mover was fought by any people.
And your uuCOuqucrahlc lrmncss and cour-
age, even IN the midst of armed military
force, secured you these first of human
rights FREQ speech aud free ballot. The
conspiracy of the 9th of May fell before
you. BE not discouraged despair not OF
the Republic. Maintain your rights stand
firm tO your position; ncvcr yield up your
principles or your organizations. Listen
not to any who would havo you lower your
standard in the hour of defeat. No mellow.
Ing OF your opinions upon any question,
even of policy, will avail any thing to con-
Ciliatc your political fOcs. They demand
nothing less than an absolute surrender of
your principles and your organizations.
Moreover if there he any hope lor the Con-
sttution or liberty. it is in the Democratic

litto while longer will zee it. Time and
events will force it upon all, except those
