SATURDAY MORNING. JUNE Is.



for out deliberation Is those that are now
agi.ating the public mind.
Every lover Of his country il called
upon to rally to the rescue and save these
institution, which We prize so highly, aud
which our Revolutionary Fathers cemeuted
with their blood, and consecrated with
their entering to the cause Of Liberty.
Democratic remember the glory Of our
party in the past! For seventy eight years
years Of unexampled prospsuity and
happiness, that grand old party controlled
the nation. During that time storms have
arisen, party strife and blind ambition
have at times clouded the public mind,
the waves Of partisan violence has threat
ened to ingulf the old ship CONSTITUTION ;
but there was Democratic com mander
aboard of the old ship, Democratic hands
managed the helm, and she was manned
BY crew whose purity and patriotism
challenged the admiration Of the world.
Thus she was enabled to outride every
storm and sail proudly into por.
But now, alas for our country, an
armed Corsair sailing along the gulfstrsa,n
Of disunion, has BY ssrategem seized upon
the old ship and, have transferred their
Malay crew aboard Of her. They have un'
furled every sail, and are now letting her
scud with fearful velocity before the tor.
nado Of civil war that is sweeping over
the landl The old ship is s,auch and
we'll built, but she cannot bear the strain
upon the rigging much longer; hidden
reefs and breakers are ahead, but they
heed it not; they are crazed with their
capture and success-drunk with spoil
and plumber; they heed not tho warning
voice. Democrats you are called upon
to re capture the old chip. Let US organ
ice our forces and rally under the old
battle flag and if We are true to our.
selves, to the Constitution and our coun.
try, We may overhaul the old ship, capture
her fanat;cal crew, and save her from dis.
truction. Do not let the terrible cry Of
"t.aitor! copperhead 1" and "fre in the
rear!' from these drunken jewellers, fright.
en- you from the work before you, - It did
last fall Remember that ii you are honest
and true, hard names won't hurt you. Lot
your love Of g,eenbacks and shoulder
straps give place to love Of country. You
will be happier, sleep sweeter, and you
will not have to meet grim skeleton Of
. conscience, to mock you for Jour want Of
patriotism aud manliness.
Let Us therefore go earnestly At work,
organize every element Of opposition to
defeat the party in power; this is the
safest and most speedy way to crush the
Rebellion, save the Union and preserve
the Constitution.
Let our Democratic friends in every
county, club together and send for papers
and public documents 10 distribute among
their friends and neighoors, that they may
be fully enlightened as to the corruption
and embecility Of the shoddyites. In
your zeal for the good cause. do not heap
abuses upon those who may differ with
you, or who are blinded by ignorance and
prejudice; but reason dispassionately With
them give them the plain facts and 6g.
ures, and in nine cases out Of ten, if they
are not Office holders or Government BLOND
suckers Of some kind, they will see the
truth and justice of our cause. and with.
draw their support from the shoddy dynas'
ty. We have all the elements Of success,
talents, energy, integrity. honesty of pur
pose, and with united efort-persever-
ance and activity, ee are bound to succeed.
OH' HOW WE LOVE THE SOLE

Very nice talk, but Why did not your

give the soldiers this substantial tokss o.
your andytng loref You have. had every.
thing your own wayin Congress since tho
war broke out, and yet you give him
grudgingly tho little miserable pittancs

love of the wolf for the lamb, that you
may fatten on his blood and sufsrings.-
