l Messrs. EDToRs-knowing the time is near at hand for every one feeling himself interested in the welfare of the democratic party it is undoubt

 edly required to stretch forth the hand of assist ance; however we need have no fears or apprehend any danger about the triumph of the democratic party in our own State it having no enemy to con tend with except the disorganzers, whose forces very weak but the great battle is to be fought and the contest is not fm in the future; the warm sunbeams of another summer and the calm, yet cool and refreshing breeze of another autumn will reveal to the result of the presidential election. | We have looked forward with eager hope to hear the result of the Charleston convention, but alas, the South must indorse squatter sovereignty plat form or withdraw from the convention; those southern delegates who faithfully and zealously complied with the instructions of the several State conventions in participating longer in conse- quence of the adoption of platform to beregard. ed as an insult to the South, entitled to honor and applause by the southern people unanimously; and no doubt but the black republicans of the North are looking upon the result of the conven- tion as an absolute failure the part of the south ern people to unite and combine together their scattered forces.

 But now word to that great national party upon whom the destiny of the Union now hangs, which remember if defeated, the silver cord will be oos- ened or the golden bowl broken; which in the lan- guage of the Presidents message in speaking of the late nsurrection at Harpers Ferry, but equally applicable in this-the progressive history of government would then terminate, or iii other words, law would cease to have any effect. The ces, sectional strife southern oppositonists, north ern and southern democracy should work alike altogher, there being only one thing to accomplish the South should go together unit in all pro bability she will. That party which has stood firm in the support of the constitution-which has so faithfully administered the laws of our government since the days of Jackson and Jefierson-which has fought so many successful battles, we must predict if we judge the future by the past victory She has underwent many storms with foes to con tend with upon every side-she sinks not-she pires not-but resumes the same unwavering course, fighting for the same principles which we bought by our revolutionary fathers, and now find her enemies scattering from the Atlantic to the shores of the Pacific, but thus far they have failed to complish their design. This great national party sails under the same fag-her colors are bright as heretofore-her motto is to continue pressing for ward-the attempted defeats of the enemy is but little cared for after it is over, for that which has steered the of the vessel for fifty years and longer ill the heightened days of the nineteenth century, is yet able to wade through difculties.- The approaching campaign should put every demo- crat on his guard in all sections of the Union-the eye of the enemy is minutely watching every step, but let the scattered forces all strike together and the action of the Chicago convention will be de- feated-back repubcanism will meet with what it justly deserves. The interest of the South is at stake and will be until November next. Now is the time in using your influence to strike the fatal blow -repudiate the action of the Chicago convention brake down as far as possible Sewardism, Helper ism who with other black republicans, has been such strong advocates of abotionism, who was in favor of the punishment of pro-slavery thief, but strongly opposed to the punishment of the anti slavery thief-any of this abolition crew whose principles has been so plainly exhibited in Con gress, if elected to fill the presidential chair, would pursue the same course, but justice does not entit

 aboitionism to possess that power, and they vii perhaps see that the people will not grant then that power Ye great pfiilanthropists, you grea sympathizers with the colored population, or yo' who aid in conveying slaves to Canada, must aban don those evil practices before considering your selves eligible to the presidency; different cours l must be pursued-a different road travelled, or yo ..- IL.

 will face you in every directon-the platform upoI which you stand, firm as it may be considered i. the North is rotten in the South, and is certai

 to brake through if it meets with its just desert-

 Every intelligent individual is well apprsed oftb

 fact that the forthcoming contest will possibly an

 more than probably be hard one, therefore it j

 absolutely unnecessary to proceed any farther wit

 this subject than to show every democrat what is h

 duty and the necessity of performing that duty. | M HENSLEY
