Stand Firm.

Every true Democrat will remain firm in the faith. Those who have no fixed principles will go to the Republicans where they rightfully be long. A majority of tne people of this country are Democrats, and will remain such as long as the Democrats present such candidates as Gen. Hancock for a standard bearers, and so long as they advocate the principles which underlie and form the basis of our institutions, The Democratic party stands as one man for peace and fraternal Union. Its followers love their country and long for the day to come when there shall be no North and No South, when sectional lines will be obliterated and the people of every State in the Union vie with each other in making this nation what our fathers intended it should be, the greatest and best in the world. A Democrat who is animated by any other desire than the good of his country, is notone in the true sense of the word. The Republican is a sectional party. It lives not because it is right, but because it appears to the prejudices engendered by tae late war, and keeps alive its memories to solidify one part of our people against another who have erred but repented, and born every sueer and jibe of Northern sectionalists with a complacency that does credit to their patriotism. Democrats look to the good of the whole people, Republicans to the good of their party.—Pharos.
