From the Lacrosse wisconsin, Democrat
Never since Boston harbor was made a
tea pot was there so much need of crcula-
ting Democratic newspapers as now. The
most wicked element ever in the country
the most crazy hunger for place and
power--the most INSCRIPTIONS principles
ever advanced are now abolitionizing the
land for the ruin of the people, the creating
of desperate and relentiug aristocracy,
reckless and ignorant BY no means in
the world can the heresies of the party
now partly in power be so effectually COM
batted as by Democratic newspapers-those
defenders of the people and their
rights. 1t is the duty of Democrats to
make conyerts-to recover those who have
backslidden and who would return were
they shown the evils and iniqutics of the
party they have joined. Every "loyal'
officer Of the gOvernment-every pOstmas>
ter-eyery tax gatherer, and theJ are
counted by the thousands-evcry crazy
minister of the gospel-every seeker for
office is now an agent to distribute docu>
ments striving to prove that negroes are
better than white mcn-that excessive and
oppressive taxation is better than no taxa
tion-that the poor man should pay inter>
est on bonds held by the rich-that extrava-
gance, c. ruption, trickery, and dishonesty
are qualifications for Office, and that great
black, overpowcring national debt is ma
tional blessing.
All these doctrines must be fought
down or :he country is ruined. And the
weapons now are pens in the hands of Dem
ocratic edito,---more powerful than the
sword whi,. failed to intimidate them
These weapons. backed by the active
Democracy OF the country vii, yet redeem
the land aud make the desoated spots bud
and blossom with beauty and contentment.
lead Democratic papers, circulate them,
subscribe for them. Aid you local papers
Help those which stand true to the great
principles. Do not tear up q Democratic
paper. Do not hide it away. Point out
this article and that article. Place them
in tie hands of men that they may have
arguments and facts to contradict the
sophistries, falsehoods and pernicious teach>
ings ofpapers edited only for money. If
the people Of he country will read even
half the facts we shall through
this paper present them the coming year,
there will beno more Republican majorities
Circulate newspapers-not in homeopathic
doses, but broadcast over the land Do
not wait till the week before an election and
then spend money for ''circulars." but be-
gin in time, and put facts in the heads and
hearts of those who have been duped long
enough. One paper making its daily or
weekly visits to a family is worth ton of
electionecrng documents. We earnestly
ask working leading Democrats everywhere
to take hold of this matter Patronze your
home papers first-then if you have money
to spare send for one abroad-onc which
is free, fearless, out spoken and an earnest
advocate of Democracy. Then read and
lcnd-and tell your neighbor to read and
lend For one, we intend the coming year
TO hail storm of facts in the ranks of
Aboltionism, and let those squirm who
arc the sufferers. And We are glad to no.
tice in all our true Democratic exchanges,
and they come to Us from every State in
the Union, growing disposition to handle
the questions of the day, and to speak OF
the sins of the party in power, in palmer
words than ever before. Democrats If
you love your country--if you care for the
people, circulate Democratic papers
