Remember Them.

At tho bead Of our columns will be
found the regular, Democratic ticket. full
and complete. Aud as this is our last ap,
peal to our readers, before the election day
we cab only say that it is for the party to
complete the work of,hs campaign Of tina!
rafifying at the ballo..box the action OF the
Conventions. Its for the Democracy now

cannot maintain the integrity Of its organ
ganization and single out the Convention
nominations as exempt from the rules of
party discipline Nor can it. without self.
qualification, act as though it believes a
Democra, is not as capable of exercising
Justice, fairness and imparliali'y in tue
Constitutional Convention as any Republic
can that may be named.
The first breach in The intrenchmcDts is
the source Of all after misfortune, and to
batter down one Of the positions on the
watch-,owers, and give the enemy free
course within our lines. is to open up the
way for untold disaster. Democrats Ger.
tainly caunot be unmindful Of the grieyous
evils which not so very long since they en-
durcd. They have not enjoyed the unin,
terrupted exercise Of the franchise, the

contrary. Such dcprivations aud abuses
INC would suppose ought to have taught
hem q lifelong lesson and We have no

most sacred right that has just been res,o.
ed to you, we beg Of you to 60 to the

So bitter is the partisan hostility Of The
Radicals against everything advocated by
the Democrats, that they would be good to
hinder in every possible way tho success
Of the Constitutional Convention. They
are laboriug to attain a majority for the
purpose of breaking up the Convention
aud preventing the adoption ofauy amend
ments to the Constitution If this fails,
they think they can make party capital by
opposing whatever measures Of reform
may be brought forward and eventually
rejecting whatever Constitution may be
formed Their sympathies are entirely
against the movement; they have resisted
it in every stage Of its progress aud will
continue to do 80 till the end.
