Let every man who loves his country join
heart and hand with the united democracy,
in earnestly battling for the true political
faith That party is the only one that has
stood faithfully by the compromises of the
Constitution, been fair and just to all sections
of the Union, and has ever uncompromising'
ly condemned sectionalism in all its phases.
1t is the only one upon which you can rely
with confidence for settlement Of the mo-
mentous questions that have so long disturb
ed the quiet of our beloved country
Prompt and vigorous action is required,
from now until the closing of the polls.-
Every man is expected to do his duty You
should devote a portion Of your time to the
purposes Of good government, for the credit
of the State, to the work Of reform, for the
preservation Of our nationality to the adj
vancement of wholesome and liberal prncii
pies.


Democrats 90 to work. talk to your neigh

As the time for voting approaches it be
comes necessary that we should acquire a
clear and full view of the doctrines of the
two parties in the field for the sutfrages of
the people, and in order to obtain this object,
we must strip them of all high sounding
titles and grandjloquent flu mmery of express
sion. The shout Of liberty is easily raised,
because it is a senti iment dear to the Ameri-
can people, but is only started at this day by
ambitious men to cover reasonable designs,
and deude the unwary into tbs support of
abolition trators9 Such impostors should
meet the scorn of every freemen.


This party in 1856, delighted in carrying
an eighteen starred flag in their PROFESSIONS,
and in listening to the fanatical speeches of
Phillips, Sumner, Buringame, Wade and
others, who spit upon and reved the Con.
stituton of the country done all in their
power to ALLEVIATE the affections of the peo-
: pie, from each other in serevng the sacred
bonds which bound the Union together, In
season and out of season their orators advo
Gated the dissolution of the Union. The
Constitution was declared "a covenant with
death and an agreement with hell" One
of their great leaders declared "there was
merit in the Republican party. Said he.


III i, the first sectional party euer organ
'zed in this country" THE first crack in
the iceberg is visible; you will hear it go
with crack, through the center"


And what was the great object of this
political organizations Simply to free the


negroes; and in doing so they knew dissou
ton was inevitable. They gloried in the
prospect. Assuredly they have made "a
, crack through the CENTER which has
brought upon the country untold mseries--
they would still further rive .Ye country to
carry out their miserable fanaical ideas.
, The arch traitor who gave them political
life and force was VIM. ii. Seward. He del
clared:


There is highes law than the Constitu-
} ton which regulates our authority over the
domain. 1t (slayery) can and must
, be abolished, and you and must do it. y Il
Correct your own error that slavery has any
constitutional guarantees which may not be

You will soon bring the parties of the
country into an affective aggression upon sla

And William FIayed Garrison said:
mo Union with shareholders. Up with
!. the flag of Dsunion, that we may have a
t free and glorious Union of our own"


And Nathaniel P. Banks. Speaker of the


House of Congress, was willing to let the
Union slide. Hear him:


Il am not one of that class of men who
cry for the perpetuaton Of the Union,
= though am willing, in certain state OF
= circumstances, to let it 'slide.'"


And Burlingame:


"1he times demand, and we wust have, an


antiSlavery Constitution, an anti.Slavery


Bible and an anti Slavery God"

+ the Abolitionists to-day.


The democracy entertain no such senti-
