To TfTE DevOCRITIC P-VRTYOK (tEOROIi :
In compliance with a resolution of tho
State Executive Committee I purpose ad
dressing you briefly upon the perils of th«
tim ’s ail the duties of the hour.
We are engaged in a great contest. on«
in which every person who 1 .vow Constitu
tional Government, who desires a return
to the oil landmarks of the fathers, who
is weary of enforcement acta of bayonet
rule of tlm subordination of the civil to
the military power of the Government, of
the suspension of the writ of habeas cor
pus of the concentration of powar iu the
1 edeial Exoouiive. who prefers local seif*
gMvrnmeiit to the arbitrary rule of party
jui 1 power, who would quiet sectional
wrangling an 1 animosides, who prefers
peace to strife union to discord country to
party must evidence his faith by hie
works.
It is a contest between the friends of
true gover iment and the open enemies of
I Constirutional law and libfcriy. It is a
c >ntest which, as it widens and spreads,
will shake party organizations to their
foundation, because it is a contest of the
I people independent of party association*
■ ur requirements. It is a contest for which
the Hue men of the Non h and the South,
die hast and the West are preparing, by
forgetting the bitter memories of the past,
the effete ksues of old organizations and in
the spirit of a nob.e broiliei hood and •
patriot c liberality, are combining to savt
tbe Government from overthrow and the
people from the tyrannies of a centralized
despotism, it is a contest which promises
peace to the nation, pensmalliberty to tbs
people, equal rights to the States, good
government to all. fn this contest, wc
inuit act our part we cannot be camp fol
lowers. when liberty is at stake and tha
country is in [ enl. Every hope of suc
cess depends Upon the efforts of those en
gaged in the struggle;
in Georgia, the turning point of tha
conflict depends upon our ability to bring
till our fo-ces into the field, To effect a
result so desirable there hufst be a thor
ough and complete organization in every
county in the Slate. Our electors should
visit the people aSd urge them to action
and to duty, and they will nobly respond,
for Georgians have never proved recreant
to a trust, or false to a duty. Upon our
sub electors most valuable aids and ad
juncts. much, very much depends To
'hem the Executive Committee is hope
fully looking for invaluable assistance in
courty organizations. Let each one fetl
the iinlivi lual responsibility of the trust
reposed in him, ami we shall have a cam
paign in Georgia faithful in its labors and
glorious in its victories.
Our State Government must be main
tained, for it is the sheet anchor of our
hopes. In preserving this we will be the
better able to secure a triumph in Novem.
her following for our el ctoral ticket in
Georgia. There is apathy in our party—
it must be removed and the people aroused
and awakened to the sen-e of their danger.
There is division in our riiiiks ; let us heal
it by kind remonstrances and courteous
appeals to the patriotism and magnanimi
ty of hesitating Democrats.”
The party has spoken through its reo
tignized organ?, (State and National Con
ventions) and expects every man to do his
duty and accept its action as a proof of its
fidelity to the best interest of the country;
Personal* prejudices should now yield »*
the overwhelming will of the majority ;
private regrets an 1 individual prefe rences
should be dropped and the old party,
proud of its record in the past, of its do
votion to Constitutional Government, of
its sacre 1 maintenance of the Hghtsof ths
