We are not among those who draw
consolation from partial victories OF
slight defeats. It 10 better to look 1t
the facts, count up the dead and
wounded, and compute the available
force for the next contest. In this
view, aud thoroughly iDabued with
the idea that this b the corrsct way Of
doing things. We pronounce the Maine
election; III uasntisfaetory battle for
our side of the house. True. thsss b .
gain over the vote OF 1864, when the
republicans carried the State by q 900
majority, but last yesr the Radical
majority was only ten AMI . half
thousand. It may b comforting to
some u reflect that with I'll our Lib
eral Republican allies ne have lost
Ave thousA~s - o~~s yses, er o.ised
thirteen thousand in four years, but
su0h gains aud sach Losses will not
carry Maine for 0reeley, or give us
plearamt assursnces Vt the situation 10
Psnnsylvsnia or Indiana. These
observations are not written In .
crosking spirit, but they are to create
alarm! It il for the good Of the cause
We write and II ws proft by the ex-
periencs already given. ell may yet
turn out well. Pennsylvania, Indiana
and Ohio are soon TO vote, and We
must not lose either Pennsylvania or
Indiana. Defeat in either Of these
States 10 equivalent 70 defeat in No
vember. Victory In the two States h
victory IN November. But 70 accom-
plish this last desirable result, requires
al entire change Of policy on the part
Of the Democracy and their allies. To
be brief, and In doing this we must
necessarily be plain Democrats must
come to the front! There has been
too much Of this modesty on the part
OF Desnecrats aud too much Of that
pes,i!erous idea among Liberal Repub
licans, that they viii be disgraced In .
union with Desnocrats. 1t must 10

that we M democrats have given up
nothing Of our cherished and time
honored principles. We hsve no
apologies to make and no pardons to
ask for. We are democratic now - We
always have been; always will be,
world without end Horace Greeley
IL the Democratic candidate and by
this fortunate circumstance, we have
preserved our organization, and - yet,
thank Heaven, stand independent Of
any other politi 'al organization on
Gods footstool II we have allies to

ceesful issue, our speakers and our
readers must como to the front and
uphold the banners. This 10 the way
to victory! We have heretofore tri-

lOTcements. We do not nov Tepel
any who may be disposed to assist Us
IN elec,ing Greeley, but it must be
understood that the grand old Demo-
cratic party plays no second fiddle In
any entertainment! Give Il the place
to which 1t is entitled! Allow our
speakers aud leaders to assume the
place to which they are entitled!
Treat us as we treat you clasp hands
across the bloody chasm oil around,
and oil will yet be we'll. We do not
despair, but warn The PenRsyivsnia
and Indiana battles are too close at
hand for any moro mistakes to be
made on the part Of the Democrats
and Liberals Ottampu Democrat.
