In thus banding themselves together TO
aid in the election of SEYMOUR and BLAIR,
and to work for the success of those prin>
ciples Of freedom and constitutional govern
ment with the insane and fanatical rule of
the demagogues now in power has so nearly
crushed out, the Democrats of Manitowoc
have not only done what is eminently wise
and proper, but what is absolutely necessa-
~. The Radicals will leave no stone un-
turned to insure their success at the CONS
ing election. They know well that the
people do not sympathisc with their mad
and revolutionary designs, and they will
hesitate at no fraud, or trickery, or misrcp-
rescntstion of the objects Of the Democra
cy, that will be likely to gain votes in sup
port Of their failing cause. TO insure the
election of our ticket it is only necessary to
place clearly before the people the real
questions at issue between the two parties
to unmask the vilsiny and corruption, and
tyranny, which has characterized the course
of our opponents during the past three
years, and to rcfute the falsehoods as to
the record and purposes of the Democratic
party with which they are flooding the
country. This the Seymour and Blair
clubs, now being organized in every county
in the Union, will endeavor to do, by the
circulation Of documents and newspapers,
and by securing speakers of ability to ad>
dress the people during the canvass.
Seymour and Blair can be elected Ev>
cry mail brings US the most cheering re-
ports Of the situation, from all parts of the
country Thousands Of intelligent Repub-
licans, who are becoming convinced that
the course Of their party tends only to an.
archy and disunion, are daily leaving its
ranks and aligning themselves with the
friends Of the Union aud the Constitution
under the banner of Democracy. 1t be-
hooves every Democrat to DO his whole du
ty-to work unccasingly-to be always or
the aert-always vigilant. IF we do thi,
We shall certainly succeed. If we DO les!
than this ne deserve to be defeated
