JUDGE DURHAM.

We had Lopes that before this time
some decisive steps would have been Ia
ken to thoroughly organize our party in
this county. but those hopes have been
blasted, aud death ike stiffness reigns
all through our ranks. Judge Durham
assures Us By letter that the enemy are
in full drill aud at work day and night.
Of all the many men we talked to last
Monday, not one Of them opei ed his
mouth about the race for Congress. Not
one Of them even asked what our party
was doing. Friends, remember that in
thorough organization alone can success
be gaincd. You, and each of you, should
act in this election as If your vote would
prevent tie between Durham and Brad
ley. Don't keep your mouth shut. Talk
about our standard-be bearer wherever you
are. and into whatever company you
may go. This will beget an interest in
tn election. II will set men TO thinking
and working. Each of you should con-
s;itute himself COMMITTEE of one" to
advocate the election Of Judge Durham
BY large majority. If the County Com
mittee viii not take any active step in
the matter, then zee to it that the vote in
your precinct is all brought out, and then
a grand victory will he ours.

ham. To stay away is to strengthen the
hand and the hearts Of their enemies. To
vote for 0'Conor is no less criminal and
foolish. 1t is the solemn duty Of every
Democrat to stand by the South in their
hour of distress and danger, and to do
so, you must vote forGreeley and Brown,
and Judge Durham.

MEYER GIVE UP.

We believe it was Lawrence. the
American captain of a vessel in the Rev
dictionary war. who said in his dying
moments. and when the blood was pour
lug from his wounds: Don't give up the
ship" Noble sentiment! Patriotic utter
ance! We, a. friends Of Reform and
friends cf good government, say to you
all, Dent give up The ship Of State. "
Don't give up the battle in which we are
engaged. Our cause is good; our cause
is right. II We falter now. let us not
hereafter complain that we have
been mislcd, or that We are under a
shameful despotism. If the American
people could he made fully aware Of the
great danger which environs them in this
dark hour of their country's dan, er, it
docs seem to u that they would rise in
their might AID endeavor, by their votes
to he power which en.laves them.

R. G. Warren. ESQ.

A correspondent of the Courier E,wno'
from Danville, says of our towHsman:
r. c. Warren, Esq.. Assistant Greeley
and Brown Elector for this eighth dis
trict, had an appointment to speak here
ye~lerday-it being county court day
which appointment he tilled tn large
crowd in the courthouse. Il is due to Mr.
Warren to say that he has up Ia this
time, made the most earnest. industrious
and thorough canvass. perhaps, Of any
elector IN any district in Kentucky, and
he has done yeoman service in arou'ing
the Democrats to action; and the Demo.
cratic party will owe great deal Of il,
success in this district to his untiring real.
His speech on Yesterday was bold and
manly, and was delivered in such plain
and straight-f6rd style that il could not
but have good effect upon the audience.
II public speakers generally would con
fine themselves to plain and undeniable
facts, such as characterized Mr.. Warren's
speech yesterday, politics in this country
would become deal more popular."
