The Pemocrstic organizttinn will be maintained the same as heretofore, and we truat with a more potent influence in all elections hereafter. We believe the city to be Democratic, If a fair verdict of the poor's mM be obtained through the ballot. box. and we have retaon to think that a conviction of this fact caused the extraordinary efforts of the Rrnnbliean wire workers to defeat an honest expression of Uie legal voters ot the city at this time If this view of the case ia nt correct, upon what other bvpothesis can their extraordinary con duct be explained ? For years efforts have been maifeto change the election law, and re organ iae the fvUfH of voting, so that if entire hirness could not be obtained, there might be an approximation to it If the political parties in the ascendant are to have entire control of the ballotboi. fair election cannot be expected, and elections can no longer be regarded as a true cpreMion )T the popular will. It should be provided by law thnt, in some way, the election boards should be divided between the contending
oartv organizations, or toHtical parties. This
r j w would be fair to all and it would be an im
portsnt -tep towards secoriag the purity of
thw ballot bo. In addition there hoU'd
be stringent laws to prevent frunlulent rotit and so protect the voter against iaClmidstfoai and violence. The electio n in this township lat aprin nd l. ist Till were diracetnl in the ex treme. and.

Because, in the presence of a national dan ger and calamity, before which the voice of party should have been hushed to silence, and party (manures abindoned or suspended, the Federal! Administration and its political adherents have BTged forward with the zeal of intense partisanhip, and with the wlwie political power they eoald cawaeSaawi, partisan scheme- known to be opposod by a large majority of the people of the United St ates, and against which m ijorities of: the people of the most powerful Northern States have but recently uttere! their solemn protest at ; the ballot box; and yet the Administration and its supporter- have demanded trom all the people , as a lest of loyalty, unconditional adherence to ! these partisan measure- We name among them, 1 Tl blirioii o!

Ti.ited Slates. The men who temporarily au minister the government, are not the government used but ita ministers, whose acts are entitled to respect and obedience, only as they conform to the upreme law of the laud. -They are not dov the law, but ibs subjects and servants. They are not the objects of our loyalty or allegiance. W e, therelore, repmiiate as slivish. and huvinjr n found ttton mi the principles of our free Demo: erat ie -stem of goven ment the doctrine that loyaitv to the Government of the United States, consists in oncoDditiouul adherence to the mens u res or policy or aar administration. On the contrary, we ntlirm that it is the inalienable right of the people, tor whose welfare alone gotern ment exints. to freely discuss, judwo, approve or condemn the policy and mures of all public rulers, and at all times, as well in war as in peace, to apply to all they may propose or do, the infallible test of the Constitution, fidelity to which is the criterion of loyalty. 3. We repudiate as dangerous and revolu timiary, the doctrine, that a state of war. con fers upon the President of the United States or his whordinab's in authority, any power. Krem tive. Legislative, or Administrative, over petsons or property, sbuve or beyond what are rested in him or them by the Federal Constitution. We admit no military necessity to justify any violation of the Constitution, which is the guide and safeguard ot rulers nd people alike, in peace and in war, and in all conditioua of pub- . alfiirs, the military should ever be subordioate to the civil pewer. 4. The Federal Union as it existed prior to the commencement of civil war is the oniv National unity, known to the Constitution and Laws of the United States, and we denounce as revobj tionary and hostile to constitutional liberty, all leagues, plans, pledges and atti-tnps, hsving in view the establishment ot "a National Unity," among the people of the United States, on any other. basis thau the Constitution of the United States :.

Because, while it is known to the world, that the rebellion was produced, in greit pMt, by the fear in the minds ot the people of the Slave holding States that the political power of the Northern or Free States in the Union would be fed, in violation of the compromise and guarantees of the Constitution, to interfere with and hrnak up the relation of Nero Slavery, and otherwise to impair the political equality of the Slave States, as members of the Cnion, and their right ful constitutional contiol orer their own dome-' ic institution-; and the highest pairioti.-m and true atate-onanahip therefore demanded on the part of the Federal Government, both of its civil and military measures, towards the rebellion, an emi nently constitutional und conservative policy, that would have disproved every alleged cause of rebel lion, and 'hus weakened and destroyed its mora! power; the policy and BMaawrei of the Fed eral Government have been v tuiiietivel v parti-an, and decttiltllr t of the 1'i.ion sentiment among the Southern people, which is the Ml rest hope ol a FCat Of ed Union.

Beliering that a Urge majority of the men who ernpoee the artsy ol t lie Union have enlisted in the war for the just and constitutional purpose declared by Congress in the Crittenden resole tion of .July. 1861, we exteii'. to them our heart feit lyaSpathy. and pledge to them ourcordi.il sup port. Ve i-k Pr the sake of the arm aud uur selves, that the Federal authority that commands the army will eiset Jl use its valor and patriot i-ru to win viories Ütat will - ive and not destroy the Constitution We demand in behalf of thai noble Union army, and of the nation, that its life blood and treasure shall not he -quandered in a bootless crusade lor negro emancipation, to gratify the ambition, fanaticism and hatred of the Sti m;i era and Phiilipses of the North. It m in part because of its departure from the onsialiie tional purpose of the waa, that we stand op. o-e l to the Administration.

'2 We condemn us revolutionary ntid rrimi n:il, the recent, action ot the minority of thelswia laiure ot this S'ate j breukiiig a BOtStntiOfinl quorum, and thus preventing legislation de BSaaded bj the public necessities. This noeoa titntkmnl ami revolutionary conduct of Um mi nority involves the essential cuilt of secession, and we embrace in our condemnation the partisan Governor of the S'ate. for his complicity in, and approval of the criminal conduct of his pariv in the Legislature. 16 We realürtn our adherence to the cardinal principles and policy , and to the tim honored organization of the National Democratic party, and will fearlessly piaintain them, not only as a potent instrumentality ot the salvation of our country trom its present peril, but as a means of a pure and wNe administration of the Government, when peace and constitutional union shall again bless the people. And h iv;ng thus truthfully declared our principles and purrxise, we eordially invite to co-work with us, all citizens who desire the restoration of the Federal Union and Constitution in the spirit and for the end of their creation.
