Address of the Democracy to the People of the U. S.

WASHINGTON, May 8. – Messrs. Richardson, Knapp, and Robinson of Illinois, Law and Voorhies of Ind., Allen, White, Noble, Pendleton, Morris, and Vallandigham of Ohio, Johnson and Ancona of Penn., and Shields of Oregon, have issued an address to the Democracy of the U. S. setting forth party organization as a positive good and essential to the preservation of public liberty. This they say is now a vital necessity and they invite all men without distinction of State, section or party who are for the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was, to unite with them in the great work of serving both upon terms of perfect equality. – This they agree is the great issue.
