WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE SAYING.
Any one who will go among the people
1.-The people as contradis tilTgnished from
the politicians will be satisfied that they
thoroughly understand the condition to
Which the country has been brought; that
ttheY are not blind aor to be bligds5 az to
the cause Of the evils they deplore and
that they know the remedy, and intend to
apply it.
] Everywhere plain people are saying that
I 10 the .sood old times" not very long
ago--when the Democratic party ruled,
our country was united and prosperous.

] With the success of the Abolition party
and its assumption Of power, all was
changed. The Abofitionists found peace
aud Union-they brought about war and
disunion. In place f freedom aud pros
perity, they brought about despotism and
fmisory. They have SO shaped this uanatu-
raj war-the end of their fanatical agita-
tion--as to prevent, so far as in them lay
all hope of,an early and honorable settle
meat. Their policy has loaded the nation
with tremendous debt, until it staggers
on the verge of bankruptcy. With them
! in power, we can have no prospect save
misery, and no hope for the restoration OF
the Union. They have done, and are
doing all that ignorant, reckless and fanati-
cal men can do, to accomplish the ruin Of
their country.
IF we would save the nation, We must 60
back to the Democratic policy. The mass
of the people know this. and hence our
confidence in the future All that is need
ed is prudence, and the selection of proper
men to be our standard bearers 10 the ap-
preaching contest. The nation is to be
saved If at abby the ballot box. We
rejoice that to-day the Democratic party is
purified of many who disgraced it in former
times. These, as was fit, long ago de-
serted to the euemy. The tiroid, the
-reacherous. the time serving, have been
| weeded out, and their places are filled BY
The good and the wise--the conservative
and iutelligent-of all parties. If sue
cessfal end everything indicates that we
shall be sucsesaful-we may yet see the
Union of these States restored, and peace,
hsppiness and prosperity again the portion
n eae people.

The President, BY preventing this bill

IF those votes turn the BALANCED in his

VVEe hold it 40 certain as that time rolls
round, if Mr, I5iaooln should attempt to
claim an election by virtue of the votes Of
the subseryed States. his Inauguration
would be resisted By million Of bayonets,
and loyal leaguars, shoddy contractors and
place hunting followers of the usurper
would be swept from the earth, like $ Q
much stubble in the pathway Of the legia-
than. The great West and the North
west, the Middle States and the States in
the East, w0a!a not stop TO pass resolu-
tons Of secession but they would raise
the loved flag Of the Union, and drive from
the nation's capital lato the Potomac the
whole horde Of plaeemen, who should thus
seek to traaple on. the great popular fran
chlse, and cheat the nation Of its presioen-
tial and legitimate choice.
Ii a like result of the election shall be
effected bp undue influence and military
/ control over the votes OF soldiers away from
their States, and an election claimed by
virtue Of such perversions Of the elective

indicated by Messrs. Wade and Davis

| No; the opposition ask for nothing but
fair play Of their constitutional rights, and
and these they will have in the coming
elections, though cities be laid ia ashes,
and blood battle both valleys and mountain

is constituted Of law-abiding aud patient
people. They have endured the iron hee'
Of usurpation long enough, aud constantly.
for three years past They trust to end It

they wont be cheated out Of the hope, =
Ana tho warning of Wade and Davis Is
both true aud timely.

It says:
IF permitted to Judge Of the feelings in

Lincoln will be the worst defeated man
who ever was heard Of.
The people, save and except he.shod-
