WE'LL DONE, DEMOCRATS.
Fellow Democrats |;

Your Centrcl Committee congrat- alatcs you upon upon the great vie tory that has been gained. Never in the history of the State has our party displayed such concert of ac- tion, such unity of feeling, or such sclf-control, i'll the face of unprece- dentcd provocations. Though un- principled agltators have, in many localities. done all in their power to precipitate q conflict, you have been too wise to resent their conduct. - And, notwithstanding the Republi- cans have industriously circulated the report that election frauds and crimes have been committed. no vii olenCe, no crime, no blood shed stains the bright glory of our victo- tory. It has been contest between the honest people of the community, the owners of property acquired by their own industry, the upholders of the law, on the one hand. and on the other a misguided band, led by reck- less adventures hungering for spoils and for the restoration of recon struction and anarchy, and nobly has Democracy maintained the struggle.
 But, fellow Democrats, this is not the hour to disband our forces. We are on the eve of q greater aud equally momentous conflict. The National Republican party, cnyious of the South, seeing us rise with more than renewed vlgOr from the ashes of our desolaton, has re- solved to crush us. l. has devised a Tariff bill, imposing taxes unheard of in the history of our country. even in the midst of the Civil War a Tariff bill directed solely against Us. and designed to bow us to the earth beneath the weight of unjust and unequal taxation The Lower House Ot Congress has passed an election bill, justly called the Fore biil. taking from us all control over OFT own elections, placing Federal bayonetS al every poll. and turning Us over, bound hand and foot. to the mercy of our political enemies.
 These measures, and others of like nature, show that the Republican party is resolved to cnslave us, to treat us as conquered provinces to be ruled by the bayonet and deprived of those privileges and that political equality which constitute the most sacred birthright of every American citizen
 In the face of these dangers we must not finch. We must present to the enemy an unbroken phalanx. By every means, by bribery. by in- tnndation, by the repeating of col orcd votes, hy every device that fraud can concoct or malice suggest, the Republicans will strive to carry the November election for congress- men. Above all they will try to precipitate d race conflict. One ne- gro killed will be worth treasury to them in awakening hostility at the North; and the leaders will in every way endeavor to urge these unfortu- nate people into violence, But be calm, be selfcontrollcd. Let our victory be as great as that which we have just won, but let it be charac. terizcd by the same moderation and forbearanCe. Keep up your organi zation. Maintain your clubs. Lei not your interest flag. Our liberties are at stake, and now, as ever External vigilance is the price O liberty J E. WILLIAMS,
