True Democracy, shorn of it's
| strength, but exultant in the promise
of the future, raised it's head and ut
tered notes of defiance to traitors and
deserters last night. Orators from the
South renewed the faith in the people
of the North, who girded themselves
anew to give battle to the enemies Of
the principles of good government

money. A more earnest, thoughtful
audience never assembled within the

the defeat of the enemies of the ma
