The opportunily to gain this desir
able boon is now prrseutelvtb oar peo
ple. The galling joke of bondage
that us borne the:u down, taml hel 1
them in the dust ot depression and al
most otter utspair, caa now be thrown
off, if the petp'o only will it. The
remedy is placed iu their handf.
They are called upon to use 'V. T
throw off o! their ' necks; the chafing
yoke of this Alien Constitution, that
has tnalcd thieves to steal atd ea
out their eubstance ; under Jthe work
ings of which every industry trad
and profession have languished until
our people have, at times, been almo1
ready to .surrender everything indea
pair, Vc btlievo that the people in
tend to strike the important blow that
shall remove from their State this in
cumbus that has so paralyzed it in all
of its most vital parts.
The next, and nvst important, step
new in this movement is the selectio
of delegates to devise a system ot gov.
ernmcnt that ehall be in consonance
with the wishes sud wants of our peo
ple. Up? n the Democratic pirty is in
ccmbent the task ot selecting the dle
gites to perform this duty. For the
Radical part; ha? all the time shown,
and atill sbow, a bitter an unndentin
hostility to any steps that are taken t
Ameliorate the condition of ur Stat
by Constitutional reform. Then let
the great Democracy of the Stas
iirouse themselves to the duy befor
thtm. One of the grandest and no
bkst duties tbat can be imposed upon
a people, Lt them iu every county
bring out tht-ir ablest men and ele t
them.
To the people of Franklin we won' !
say, tbat there are many ot our fello
citizens which would houor their Colt
stituency by a seat in that ljxly. Lei
us be looking arounOT aud see who is
the best man to send. The Democrats
of Franklin with proper tffnt cn
elect their man byj a majority of over
one hnndrtd. To do this will tske
work, and hard woik. With the el
fort that was put forth last summer,
we lave no fears of th result, We are
certain of faces'. That campaign
: was a long and vigorous one. We
should tlm year havo our Candidate
in the ficld, and at w. rk I r him,

more this matter is iseased, the
ttronger the measure wJl beromewitn
the peop!e. Let thtm begin to ta'k
about it. The day of our deliverance

every body was sure t- read it. -There
