state convention at Worcester, heartily
endorse the declaration of principles and
policy adopted by the Democratic National
council at Cincinnati in June last, as a
correct statement Of the Democratic
faith and doctrine as applied to the
present condition of our public affairs,
and We also endorse with complete
satisfaction the distinguished candi-
dates then and there nominated for
the highest Offices in the republic. WeI
maintain that the Republican party So
called, is sectional and not national; that
it's persistent tanning of the embers of
sectional strife weakens the sentiment of
the. Union and retards the prosperity of the
country; that the people are longing for
one country 10 reality as we'll as in .name,
no longer separated into the North and
South, and we condemn the utter aband-
onment In the present canvass, on account
of the Republican Presidential nominee
and bis party, of the sentiment and words
of the former, namely, The man WIN
attemps to get.up political excitement in
this country on old sectional Issue
will find himself without party
and without support" We be-
patriotic men, candidates of the Democra-
tic party, By the support of the people Of
oil parts OF the country, would be the

plete reeoncilsment of our coantrymen to
the Union OF our common ancestry.
