The ticket Is composed of men who are.
up to the Jeffersonian standard and at
tiched to the Constitution, and II
we do not succeed in the coming
election in making that ticket triumphant,
we at least will so far gam, as to insure suc-
cess in 1867, We said to those who were
confident of success in 1865 because it is
for tine Democratic party to deal candidly
and fairly with the people,) we cannot per-
haps overcome the 10000 majority in 1864,
but we can at least reduce 1t One-half. We
went to work with all energy; commenced
with the determination ofthose who believed
they were right. The result was commen-
surate with our anticipatons. We Wereduced
the majority of our opponents from 10000
to 10000. Some think we ought TO hold out
the idea OF abs olute success. Anly promise
that we may succeed. But sTany rate we
propose to reduce that Aaj0rlty down to
10000 at the v ry least. proclaim that TO
restore those States. which are excluded
from participation In the Union, nOtwlth-
staudingthe heavy majority that has been
against us In TIM State, which some here
seem to think, and others elsewhere are led
to believe, cannoC~De overcome, u at we will
send from seven to eight and perhaps
twelve Representatives instead of two

lieve, no more. / truly believe 1t
will be done. 1t is important to carry
our State ticket for the sake OF the prllcl-
plies. But just now the essential tnlng
most needtul Is majority In the 4OCh
Congress, that. the excluded States may be
brought back .a9ain, and relnstated III ali
their rights under the Constitution; that
those States may shine again in the glorious
galaxy extending from the Atlantic to the
