In the face Of the splendid increase in the
Democratic vote in Ohio in Pennsylvania
in Indiana where partial victory pcrches
upon the Democratic banners, to talk OF a
change of Pl ssidential candidates is repul-
sive to every courageous, high-minded
patriotic Democrat in the country. Demos
eracy is everywhere vital, anir.ate and reso-
late In the Green mountains, the pine
forests, the Western valley, and throughout
the States there is determination TO rescue
the country from the hands of party which
throttes it with debt, corruption and
tyranny. No true Democrat, after suffer.
ing years of oboquy, and when his cause
never looked brighter, is now inclined to
turn his back to the foe, or seek shelter by
desertion 1t is q bold, fair fight at the
polls that they are about to make; it is the
same spirit actuatng them now that has
encouraged them thus far in the campaign
10 such arduous efforts in behalf of cons
stitutonal liberty, and enabled them to re-
duce the Radical majorlties in every locality
where elections have been held. The craven
policy that dictates change in the banner
names will find only detestation where it
socks sympathy, and the newspaper and
the leaders counselDg such suicidal cowar-
dice can no longer expect support from the
ranks and file they would lead to disgrace
fu ruin and political destruction.
He who stops ia the very crisis ola con-
test to plan retreat, is not a commander to
inspire confidence in men struggling for
victory as the object Of battle. The Demo>
cyacy, all over the country are waging the
great war for civil liberty, for constitutional
government, for Union, for relief from op
pressivc taxation and the restoration of an
honest administration of the Government
with fidelity and boldness that should ex,
cite the confidence and admiration of every
sympathizer. The great advantages Of
their opponents in tie possession of power,
with an hundred thousand office-holdcrs at
their command, and national revenue OF
five hundred millions of dollars at their dis
posal, do not intimidate the independent
citizen who contends, not for pelf, but fo
good government. The cohorts Of Radical
SIN are marshalled all around us-they
threaten, they boast, they endeavor to in
timidate-but the Democracy are not turn
ed from their duty; their course, is marked
out; their march has commenced, and ever,
faithful man will persevere to the end, re
gardless of all distractions. Our banner il
spread broadly with the names OF our candi
dates inscribed upon its folds, and it will b.
borne bravcly under the inspiration of hop'
and faith in the justice of our cause, unit
it waves in triumph or is folded, untarnish
ed in defeat.
Let the Democracy rally with all thei
power for the decisive trial in November
let every man who believes that Radicalsr
is opposed to the peace and welfare of th
country, nerve himself to the sternest op
position to its designs, and victory-a coun
try redeemed-w reward his labor. Th
hour is the crisis of fate with the nation
To hesitate is to lose all. An heroic charg'
now viii turn the tide and snatch the laure
from the brow of defeat 1.-THE Dem ocrar,
allow false Radical reports of the reoeu
elections, or the detection OF one Journal t.
dishearten them, we are beaten in advance
But If inspired to prompt and energetic ac
tion thev viii win a great triumph
