AN APPEAL TO DOUGLAS DEuoJRAr,.
Add ress Of General WaIbr'dge 20 the
Friemds OF lhc L.Lte AemaLor DnmsLns

Add ress Of General waIbr'dge 90 the
Friends OF the E.Hte Senator Douglas
FELLow-CHIzENs of us who enjoyed
the intimate personal aCluain auca of our departed
leader will bear enthusiastic testimony TO his
intense, uDCalculating devotion to the Union.
Throughout the menoraDle winJgr Of lS5O-6l he
exhausted the resources of Cancellation and OF
gtatesmanship in jealous, uuselish Efforts b. avert
the calamity of civil war, because he feared such
war, If inauguTaled by the Federal authority
would prove the grave of the Union
But when secession and rebellion culmin lted
In wauton attack on the national dag and It's
heroic defenders, the great champion Of popular
sovereignty threw his whole heart into the strug-
gle for our national integrity, aud breatded out
his soul in invOCatiOns 70 his cOuutrymen 20
eight till the last armed foe expires" In defense
of that sacred and precious heritage bcqueathel
to us by our revolutionary ancestors.
In. the spirit OF that invocation, |, one of the
humbest but most devoted of your number, who
from the honr the first Rebel gun WAS fired NJ
Sumter have been a War Democrat, aud nothing
else-Cntreat you 10 read carefully and thought
fully the rival platforms OF the Baltimore aud
Chicago Conventions, respectively, aud decide
which of them most nearly embodes the Senti-
ment and is imbued with the spirit of your de
ceased chiefand give your efforts and your votes
TO the cause which the heart Of Douglas must
honor ana bless.
In crisis like this, party names, organization
affiliations are nothing. The salvation Of the
Republic Is everything. Let no one who ever
loved and hOnorGd our great statesman be justly
reproached with lack Of courage or of self-sacri-
fee In this hour Of the nations supreme trial
For myself can read the Chicago platform no
otherwise than as a white flag of surrender 20 the
Rebels-as q confession of defeat by the nation
in its struggle TO yindicate It's just authority and
maintain It's territorial integrity Aud having
Vainly waited long enough in the hope 10
see that platform Tepudiated and set aside by
the supporters Of the Chicago candidate.
1 hereby entreat you to unite with me in op-
posing to the death everything that looks like
trucking 10 tTatOrs-eycrythiuR that can be re-
ceiyed with eXultation by the conspirators who
broke up the Democratic party and defeated it
national candidates simply 10 create preteXt 70
rebellion and disuuiOn. ! shall cast my vote for
the unconditional Union candidates throughout,
and entreat all who are proud Of their past asso-
citation and sympathy with Stephen A, Douglas
TO do likewise
Yours in the faith and hope of the true Demo-
cracy, HIRAM WALBRIDGE.
