not doubt but the result will be similar to what il
was in 1886, with perhaps an increased majority To
accomplish this desirable result, however, activity
zeal, and vigilance of every friend of the Republican
party is all-importan indeed essentially necessary
To couneract the caGle-eyed vigilance and efforts of
our opponents who, understand, in sections
nundatng the country with carcatures and Wing
speeches and pamphlets, and endeavorlng TO poison
the public mind, it is allimportan that the antdote
should at least follow The poison. The Corresponding
Committees of every county in the State ought imme-
dately organise and every individual of them to do
their duty. Indeed let every friend Of Mr.. Van Blu
rem and Of the Republican party in every county in
the State consider himself committee man, and I'M
medatey buckle his and urge on to the bat
tie with energy and zeal, and victory will again perch
upon our banners and shall all have the lnexpres-
sible satisfaction Of witnessing the fruits of our
TONS and sec all our abors crowned by the triumph
ant of the Republican party and their prncl-
Piles in the reelection Of Martin Van Buren, to the
Presidency.
