ty 10 founded distinctly upon these prin-
ciples, and it now desires TO form auy lila
ry societies in every town, county and
State. 1t proposes that there shall be a
Central Society in each State, and that
each local society report to the State Or
ganizatiop. ..
All great movements must spring from
the people. They must commence by
forming organizations in school districts
and in towns. A few men of the true
faith impress it upon their own neighbors
Those fix tho impress upon the school
district, and then it expands and grows
until its influence permeates the entire
county, and finally the State and then the
whole country. 1t was thus that the Alb
olition movement commenced. If false
hood can be SO successfully propagated,
will not one quarter the effort reiustate
the truth, and save our country and the
cause of civilization the nameless horrors
that ianaticism is now inflicting upon our
land? What nobler effort could arouse
our patriotism op stimulate our zeal p
Shall we give up our country to the blind
and merciless wrath of blind and impi-
Gus delusion, which in seeking to trans
form negroes into white men, only sue
ceeds in exterminating both? Shall we
sit down in listless inactivity, and say that
all is lost Never never The man who
will do this does not deserve country.
Every American is morally bound 10 sus-
tain and advance the principles which he
believes will be for its good, and to con-
vince his peighbor, If he can, by reason
and argument to adopt them. This was
the weapon of the Aboltionsts for years,
and il is ours now.
Let us devote ourselves first and for
most however, to the task Of recognizing
the Democracy. Let us first determine
whether we are to have a real Democratic
party or not. If not, Mr.. Lincoln may as
well administer the Government as any
one Of similar views. Let Democrats find
out whether they are TO be tied to the
corpse OF expediency or whether the party
is 10 spring into new and fresher life.
We are satisfied that the heart of he
masses beats right, and that all that is
needed is organization to prove it. In two
years, by proper exertion, we can obtain
control of the STATES.
1t is suggested, therefore, that Democrats
in every locality organize distinctly upon
The principal OF the Virginia andKentuck-
Y Resolutions and the Dred Scott de-
cson. All who desire copy of he Con-
,iitution of our Society will be furnished
It on application to the Secretary. 1t is
our desire TO open correspondence with
persons in every part of the country who
endorse these principles and information
s solicited as to the sentiments and feel
ngs generally of Democrats in each writ
sr's respective locality.
It's believed by general interchange
Of views, plan of organization for the eu-
tire country can be agreed upon-by
which the iaithless leaders, now misrepre
senting Democratic principles, may be
hurled from the places they so unworthily
Gil, and true ones selected in their stead.
Applications for Constitutions, and all
inquiries can be addressed 10 the Secre
tary.
By order of the Society,
THEODORE MARITIME,
Chairman of The Executive Committee.
