GRoryD OF DEMOCRATIC ENcoURAGEMENT.-
| Our Union friends will hardly need more Co
gent argument TO stimulate them to activity and
energy in the approaching election, than the
declaration made by Pendleton, in his speech
! at Cleveland, short time since in these words:
z"He was gratifed to be able to say
that q somewhat extended canvass of the
state enabled him to bring his Cleveland
friends good account of Democratic
prospects. He had everywhere heard OF
plenty of sTAY-AT-HoME and LUKE-wARM
REPUBLICANS, and of Republicans who
could not vote for the Constitutional
Amendment, but noaohere had he t0't'ad
any Democrats not Thoroughly earnest IN
their aoo7k. He could not tell how far
this lukewarmness of the Republican par
ty may extend whether ornot 1t could
Weld to democrats a surety OF success,
but one thing he was sure of; if the Re
publicans were not beaten in this cam
paign. they would be so crippled and
humbled as to. be obliged hereafter to
keep much closer to the ground"
What say you, Union men and soldiers. after
four wears war and bloodshed, of untold trial
and suffering to save the government from the
hand of the spoiler, are you willing to yield
him the easy victory that Mr.. Pendieton tells
you he expects to reap from your supineness
and Indifference You have nobly triumphed
in the terrible strife of arms, will you yield to
ignominious defeat at the ballot box? Not
to the strength of numbers, but to the indul-
gence of inglorious ease
The La Cross Democrat is the paper pub
Iished in the State of Wisconsin by the notori-
GUS BRICK PRoMERoY, and is, perhaps, the
t.uest, the least squeamish, and honest expo
ncnt of the party in that or any other State. 1t
Q Joys large circulation, and finds ready
and cheerful admission TO the family circles of
many Democratic household, and its gross
vulgarity and blasphemous obscenity procures
for if friends, patrons and admirers way down
in Ashtabula. Its sentiments are in palpabe
harmony with some of the recent utterances of
Mr.. VALLANDIGHAM, with whom our Democrat
ic candidate, Judge THURMAN, has sylnpathe-
tic and ,yearning attachment. Such conteml t
for the d,cencies of life as mark the following
extract from recent article in that paper upon
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, will, no doubt, be taken as
an eloquent and emphatic CONN entory upon
the party which thus sustain it:
''Everything concerning the departed
cuss possesses fascination and charm
for us, which we make no effort to resist
we wouldn't if We could've feel his
loss more than most people, for he was
such nice, sweet, beautiful man-pos-
sessed Of such winning ways and charm
ing haracteristics-and he was snutfed
out of existence so edSy-he was a hui
man tirst-class rocket, and everybody
used to admire himso mucb-they didn't
think there was much touch and-go i'll
him-that there was so much of that
divinity which doth hedge about &c.
But one day, naughty boy, J. Wilkes
Booth by name, came along, and he ad-
mired the rocket, and he said: 'Oh, what
a beautiful rocket = and he scratched
match, and touched its fame to the nice,
frst-class rocket, and before any one
could say, tLet me kiss him for his moth
err it went off with tizz, pop, and bang,
his sonl to glory, we reckon-and all
that was left Of the amusing rocket was
a nasty, biackened, broken stick, and an
empty case, of no account to anybody or
PoMERoY thus talks fright out" the true SEN
timents of modern Democracy. He is little
bolder than his fcHows-that is all. The prin
ciples Which lley dare not incorporate upon
heir platforms, find congeuial place in his
columns.
