strained TO give ib 70 our readers. Never
since the formation OF the Government have
the lovers Of civil liberty and constitutional
freedom had such work before them, as now

us ara living now under the forms only Of q
Republic; yet q listle rhilo, and the forms

the people break the bonds Of lethargy that
bind them, and assert their constitutional

"Duty of the Constitutional Dsmoerdey.
"What the situation Of the Constitutional
Democracy will be at the termination Of the

carried him over to the aboltionists. The at.

And then he has all the itching for notoriety

His heart aud his Judgment are against the

A sIinht Dlmerence.

When the Democratic party was in
power, the Abolitionists complained that
the times were so hard, and promised that
if the people would elect them to ofhce'
there would be better times. They were
elected, and the good times have come.
The blessings of AbolitiOnism are upon
us. Below we give the retail prices OF
several articles in daily and general use,
as they were under a Democratic admin
istration, and as they are now under an
Abolition administration. Consumers
will vouch for the correctness Of the state
ment, as they feel the change most sensi'

Democraiic Victories.

In the elections that have come of re-
Gently, the Democrats have everywhere
swept every thing before them. The peo-
pie have put the seal OF condemnation on
the Abolition party. New York, Penn
sylvania, and New Hampshire have al
ready spoken. Connecticut will speak in
>hunder tones next Monday, and Aboli-
uonis'- will go down before the resistless
TIDE OF Den'~cracy. Let not Ohio be be-
hind in her condemnation of the corrupt
aud imbecile Administration, that is seek
ing to enslave the people. Let every man
who values his liberty and the welfare of
his country vote the Democratic ticket.
GI-It is Of the utmost importance that
the nieHLu VI ,l,v o. --L tho Copstitn-
ton should be thoroughly and perfectly
organized and united, and that every voter
opposed TO the corruptions and usurpations
of the party in power should be at the
polls, All conservative, union.loving
men, no matter what may have been their
former party associations, should join the
Democracy and act and vote with them
in these times of public danger. If our
Government is saved, the Democracy must
save it, and the initial point to that great
and glorious work is through the ballot
box, in minor as well as the more impor-
tant elections. To work then, friends OF
the Union as it was, and the Constitution
as it is, and prepare to carry the Spring
elections. The townships are thoroughly
aroused, and will make good report
Let Dayton respond to the country with q
good round Democratic majority. Go tt

Pdymoster CUMBAcK, who no doubt wants
the war to continue till the last man and
the last dollar is paycd out, especially as
he gets three or foar thousand per year,
during its continuance.
But the richest thing in the call is this ;
The object OF said meeting is the adoption Of
such measures as may be deemed necessary TO
give our brave boys in the field the assurance
that their friends at home stand ready to stake
the last dollar and the last man on the cause
for which they are battling.
Now, suppose just half Of these "lsst-

waiting to be consoripted. wouldn't that

somebody else's last dollar, and somebody
else for the last man"

The recent local elections show results
most cheering and gratifying to ths Dem
ocratic party. Cities and counties are be-
ing carried that were never by the Demo
Gratis before and those heretofore Democrat
ic are now Democratic four-fold the more.
These results speak in thunder tones OF
condemnation of the conduct of the pres
ent Federal administration. There never
was an administration or party in power
in the United States, that has been 80 thor
oughly repudiated by the people In
1864 there viii be scarcely corporal's
guard left, to do battle against the patriot
ie and loyal men of the Democratic party.
They have been tried, condemned and re-

knaves who infest the halls of Congress,
plundering and robbing the treasury Of
the nation. One or two more fires along
the whole line, and abolitionism will be
