Governor ana Legislature TO hOld thcm III cneck,
could be made very good institution. But with
the lobbyist Gorham, and Radical Legislature,
it would be very dangerous power. and one
to be dreaded by the people. So oyou voters look
out how you vote, know your man before you
cast your ballot.
TO THE DOUGLAS DEMOCRACY
| have been Douglas Democrat ever since
Judge Douglas became prominent man. and
heartily endorse his noble sentiments that 'this
Government was made 10y white men for the BEN
eft Of them and their postcrity," and his last
words, when death came like an evil messenger
and snatched him from the councils Of the Nation,
will ever be Impressed upon my mind: BE true
to the Constitution of the United States" These
noble words should TO day find response in the
heart of every Douglas Democrat, and recall
from their wanderngs, the thousands who have
not kept the faith, to sense OF their duty, to
rescue the Constitution from the hands OF unbe-
levers.
If Douglas were alive to-day. his clarion voice
would be heard, commanding his legions to stand
firm in the Democratic faith, and march with
unbroken lines to deposit united ballot for the
Constitution and Democracy. | believe that the
Democratic Party is only the party that can sue
ccsslully carry on this Government upon he
publican theory. All other parties have only IN
volved us in trouble without being able 10 pilot
us out. we have tried enough experiments, il we
want Just and equal Government. with the white
man as the object CT interest, we must come back
to Democratic principles.
CONGRESS AND IT'S POLICY.
The Military Governments that Congress has fore
ed upon the South is not only a usurpaton OF au-
thori,y, but cruel vindictive and unjust. The
South can never be anything else but Il part aud
parcel of this Nation, and any dishonorable terms
| i,nnosed upon them, will intlict its disgrace upon
the whole county. We cannot punish one mem
Der of the body without causing the whole to suf-
fer.
The Conoressional policy is a crime against
civilization. a disgrace TO the age, and unbeconl-
ing the dignity o. great and generous nation
The Whole civilized world VIII yet condemn inc
policy of the narrow minded, ol goteu oenagoSue%s e y

good men who love Country before party to br.H.,S
the Government back to a Constitutional basis.
We have given the people good ticket. We
hope to see it triumphantly elected. The resou-
tions Of both the State and County Conventions,
are patriotic, and breathe spirit of peace over
the troubled waters.
Democrats and lovers of your Country, rally
10 the rescue do not have it said that the great
principles which the Party have set forth were
lost by your ineXertion See that every Democrat,
every opponent of Chinese immigration every
man who does not wish to see negroes voting and
holding Office, every man who don't like the Reg
istry Law, every man who is in favor OF reduc-
tion of the taxes, see that they all go to the
Polls. And when the sun shall set on the next
4th of September let it set on complete and thor
ough Democratic victory.
In conclusion | would ask all Democrats and
conservative men, to labor hard for the whole
ticket But let no man vote for me who expects
me to use my vote in favor Of Chinese labor. Ne
gro suffrage, or Railroad swindles For cannot
reDresent his views. Yours respectfully.
