All that is needed is a few more ribs on the bow, and then the iron plates of the hull will be riveted on. Iler . length of feet and immense Iarn makes her appear as large as a meeting house.

The Committee recommend that the primaries be held on Api il f, and the County Convention on April 11; subject however, to the approval of the various County Committees. . '. - The committee deem it fitting to pre sent to the Democratic voters of the State the following considerations: We see approaching nn election of most vital import to our commonwealth in nil its interests, both public and pri vate. Deeming honesty the best policy, and in striking conjlftvt with the course of the opposing p?.rty, we have named an early day for the assembling of the State Convention. Our principles as a party will then be enunciated 'and our candi dates placed iii the field subject to tho approval or condemnation of thb body politic. The variance in the vote of this State d unrig the past few years, and .especially the very close content lq the Presidential election of 1880, gives us (much hope that, notwithstanding our present mi nority, with harmony in our ranks, and a well directed exertion of our strength, we shall carry of! the palm of victory, But to assur this cud it is imperative that all Democrats shoald contribute their un divided support and hearty co-operation, not only in the actual canvas; J.-f t Jftom its very initiation ch county primaries. We do not presume, to trespass upon the piovince of our popular Convention, but do earnestly invoke all members of our party to put aside past differences and personal antagonisms, to unite in har monious action in the various primaries, and to send full delegations of represen tative men to attend the State Conven tion. We have deemed it fitting to .reduce the number of delegates in the j hope of securing tin personal attend ance of those to be chosen. We es pecially recommeiut . the formation of lo cal clubs, where practicable, throughout the H'tarc. Believing that the success of theDe mocracy is the welfare of the people, we cordially invite a' 1-persons, regardless of past political affiliatioris, who favor sim plicity, economy and frugality in the ad ministration of public affairs, to unite with us P.
