overcome the large Democratic majorities
Of 1868. 1t behoeves the Democratic party

reflect honor upon the State, and who will
not, in the least degree, be swerved from
the path Of justice and right, With such
candidates, the result cannot be donbtel."
We concur with the Star in the fore,
going monition to the Democratic party,
and would add, that the utmost harmony
in our ranks is essential to success, in

For The Democratic Allocate

MEssRs EDIToRs 1T is not per.
haps generally known that Congress at
its last session passed an important
amendment to the Bankrupt Law.
This recent amendment applies to the
clause providing for the payment of
fifty per cent of tho Indebtedness of the
applicant, and provides that the Law
"shall not apply to those debts from
which the Bankrupt seeks discharge,
which were contracted prior to the first
Of January 1869"
BY this amendment it will be per-
ceived that Petitioner in Bankruptcy
is enabled to be discharged from all
debts contracted and existing prior to
January ], 1869, although he is unable
to pay fifty per cent. thereof.
