To the Democracy Of Lewis County,
Your Executive Committee, anxious to
secure TO eur time-honorcd party the glory
Of another victory over radical oppression
and iufuny, make this, their call'upon
you, as men, as citizens, aud as Demo-
Gratis, to arm and prepare for the coming
fight. Already have the enemies Of our
race and of,thc true system ofgovernment
commenced their vaccinations to carry
this rs well as other counties at the ensuing
election. They are determined, by all
tho n,eans:in their power-no matter how
corrupt or dishonorahle-to retain posses
sion Of the legislation Of the State; aud
continue their reign Of infamous oppres-
sion ind tyranny. Already have they
given to the black man the right ofsuff-
rage--while the DISTINGUISHED white man
is still to remainlas mn alien or felon.
They have pointeily refused to allow the
people to elect the officers Of registration,
well knowing that such course would
speedily bring to an end the curse which,
is now driving thousands Of our best citi-
zeus from the Statea BY repeating few
comparatively unimportantt .oaths,
thoy intend to 60 before the people again
land they Mill doubtless speak loudly Of
their magnaniniity-magnaninlity in Of
lowing lawyers and teachers to- earn their
daily bread blythe practice ofrthcir pro-
fession; and, generosity in permitting a
rebel to collect the debts honestly due
him, While the "let up" movement is
q movement inlthe right direction, and
by the masses Of tho radical party will be
honestly carried out, yet experience with
the recent, new departure" has taught US
that if swelwould succeed We must put
none but Democrats on guard-mcn who
have been tried and we're not found want
ing. We must make no concessions to
! tho enemy. Ours is. fight Of Right
against Wrong, and by making any com
promise, we ourselves become particeps
crim,iniis. To form better organization.
and by that means to promote our chances
for overwhelming victory, We have APP
pointed the following Township Executive
Committees We expect, and the De-
mocraey-of tho county expects them to
WORK-work surely and steadily from
to-day until tho victory is won. TO aid
still further, we would suggest and earn
estly urge upon. these Committees the
propriety Of holding meetings immediately
and appointing an Executive Committee
Of three for, every School District in their
respective Townships Lett be2thc duty
| of these Committees to sec that every man
who can register is. brought outlet them
work faithfully during the,tcanvass--zlet
them see to that, every voter is at The
polls on election day--and when We have
forever crushed the monster-Radiculism
in our county,plotius rejoice together
over the fruits ofthe. victory The fol-
lowing are the Township Committees:
