Vallandigham, Thurman. and Ran

the place. Vallandigham is really the
choice of the rank and file of the party
as he is the true representative OF theii

great martyr drew larger crowds, anc

last canvass, than any man placed Oh

the choice of the masses, he is backed

influential Democratic papers in the

courage by the last election in Ohio
which he considers as personal VIC

COURAGE. DEMOCRATS!


After reviewing the position of the two
contending parties in the present CAM
paign; after considering the unequalled
desertion from the eneny's camp into
ours; and also witnessing the cowardli-
ness of the Radicals in evading the real
issues, we have made up our mind that
that great mass of corrupt and dishonest
politicians known as the Radical party
has outlived its usefulness, if it ever had
any. Its dying agonies will be witness
ed in October and November by the
people whom it has outraged, impover-
ished and almost ruined.
But the Democrats must be untiring
in their efforts to get out the FULL
DEMOCRATIC VOTE, for therein
lies the secret of our success. We feel
assured, from an observation made by
the N, Y. Tribune lately, wherein
Greeley, in effect says that 100000 of
change will oe required to defeat US,
that if our full! vote is out Pennsylvania
will wipe out Radical Jacobinism by
Democratic majority of $4,000 votes.

friends to drink to excess. In the

not to do it, but l had no power-it was

the devil. 1 do not remember dis
