SIR: Complying with the desire of
many Of mn Democrats friends in tho
city and county where have for so many
years resided, address them briefly
through you.
No further warning or entreaty from
me j. needed to arouse the people to the
importance of the great issue before
them, and to the danger which on every
side threatens their liberties The great
popu ar denominations, occurring every
day throughout the State, prove their
zeal and devotion to the cause OF Liberty
and Union, and that they mean that these
two shall in very deed be inseparable.-.
Both these depend largely upon the issue
OF the Ohio campaign. Ii that party
should succeed, which, upon the one hand
applsuGs the attrocious acts Of Abra
ham Lincoln and ,his servants, aud in
dorses Che monstrOus claim of absolute
power over person I'd property, not to
say life itself, set up by him in his recent
letters to the Albany and Columbus
Committees and, on tho other, accepts
as it's own the whole radical ! olicy,
"root aud branch" of Congress and the
Executive III the conduct OF the war;
/ thore is an end to both. IL the North
aud West, every lover of constitutional
liberty looks anXiouSly to the approach
/ ing elections. In the South, the eyes o.

hearts love the Unioa as it was, the old
