Address or the Democratic National Conn
n,ittee 20 the Conservative Voters Of the
United States.
NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 1858.
FELLOW CIrIzENs-lt is q privilege and duty to
address you on the eve Of the great battle which
are to light and which is to decide whether the gov
eminent Of this republic is to remain four years
more in the hands OF the radical party or whether
by an energetic united and last effort you win wrest
the power from Its grasp and give to rs, under
democratic conservative administration, govern
ment based upon principles Of justice, economy and
constitutional liberty.
The issues OF the present campaign are plain and
seh-evldent. They appeal to the intelligence and
patriotism OF every voter In the most unmistakable
terms. They have been ably discussed by distin-
gushed orators and leaders Of our party since the
nomination Of our candidates.
What the democratic party intends to do. II placed
in power by your sufrages Is TO restore peace and
union TO our country; to heal the wounds and
sufferings caused by the rebellion; to give to
the people OF the South the rights to which they
which alone we can bring back prosperity and quiet
to that distracted section; TO reduce materially our
military and naval establishments, kept up now on
an immense scale and at an enormous costs to intro
duce into every department OF government the
srIctest economy and to develope by an equitable
system or imports and taxation the growing re-
sources OF our country and thus TO place the federal
finances on solid ana stable footing and to pave
the way to a gradual and safe return to
specie payments. We are charged by the
radical party, the party OF violence and usur
patton which for the last four years, to prolong its
own existence, has set at nought the constitution
and the fundamental principles OF our government,
that we intend revolution and defiance OF estab-
lished laws. The accusation Is unfounded and alb
surd; It cannot be entertained for moment by any
Intelligent voter who has even the most superficial
knowledge OF the history OF his country The demo-
cratic party can proudly point to every page or its
record IL has never violated single obligation OF
the fundamental compact by which these United
States entered into the family OF nations Its
and win always be the Union, the consti-
set Of men, however high they might be placed BY
the SURFACES Of their fellow citizens, can ever expect
10 receive the support OF this great conservative party
in any revolutionary attempt against established
laws. The ballot box and the supreme VIII OF the
American people are the only means Of redress 10
Fellow democrats, you are fighting for good and
righteous cause. You have for your leader tried

virtues

the structure Of their own system OF representative
self-government, indicated to the world by more
