The La Crosse Democrat says;
But what are we to do now? asks
some impatient and dispinted

We answer, tight on-n6cer giyc
Np--time,~ and persevering work
will give us victory, and establish
the truth and justness of our prin,
ciples. What we now want is
ORGANIZATION and Pluck!
To both OF these helps is the
Republican party indebted for its
success in the States and the Re,
public. Never was party more ad-
mirably managed, more ably gen
eralled. BY open and secret or
CARNATIONS; by, committees who
work; by papers and documents in
the hands of their voting thou
sands; by unAagging and deter
mined work, are the masses held
in fighting condition, ready at all
times to go into a canvass unitedly
and with a purpose to win victory.
Pluck has served them well, too
dogged persistence IN achieving
their purposes--sending the faint
hearted to the rear, and setting
aside leaders who swerved from
their standard, or faltered in fideli;
ty to the extreme measures of the
party. .- Al ,... .'' 1-a
We, Democrats, have greater
holier, nobler principles to battle
for; we should lack neither organ
ization or pluck to secure their ul-
innate and assured success. We
are striving for ''.'' % ln,.A' ''

There have been dark hours in
its historyl Those we're times that
tried mems souls and hearts, too, |
when birth was given it, and the |
alien and sedition laws Of the elder |
Adams were evoked to strangle the |
infant in its cradle. Darker, too,
and more trying thoseH stormy
times when battling bravely against |
the giant power Of England with
one hand, the other was engaged |
with sneaking, traitorous Federal
ism, the parent of Radical Repub-
licanism. But Democracy tri-
gloriously! And the ''Tip-
peeanue and Tyler too" times,
Know-Nothlng and Bleeding
Kansas hurrahs, all had their day
winning glorious vic
tories, and never succumbing to
the enemy till "policy" and "ex-
pediency" took the places in our
party platforms of principle and
love OF country. " :" .'''....''
Stand firm, Democrats - and
fear nothing! Run up the old Jef-
fersonian and Jacksonian banners,
and for every blow you receive,
give the Radical towards and trail
tors, two, Be men, and DEMOCRATS.
