ces.girss their party a saolO 81 strengthaeh

ces.gires their parry u sholD Of strength. lchich
il does not possess. Success in these minor
elections encourages them, gives them con
| fdence, and makes them active and indus
trious, while it discourages the wings, causes
them first to doubt their strength, and ifde-
I feated two or three times, in succession, at
last to conclude that all IS lost, and that
they might as yell stag aDay from the polls.
In other words these petty victories cause
Chapman's Cock to getupon the high places
all over the State, and proudly clap his wings
and claim his victories, and defy us to an
of his enemy, causes that same old Coon,
who in l940,in one uninterrupted triumph
traversed the Union, to doubt his strength
and disposes him to ''climb down. and give
up the contest. The only way 10 prevent
this to watch the enemy, and whenever he
attempts to crow take him by the neck and
choke him, and if we will repeat this oper
alton whenever an opportunity offers, instead
of his proud crest, his cow-feathers will be
his most prominent feature in November.
Divisions among the irhigs hare enabled
the locofocos to fill Congress and the Legis-
laturc nth their friends, and to elect a To-
cofoco Governor. No one believes that the
politics Of this State have undergone such a
change since 1910, as TO enable them to
effect this in a fair contest. We hare quar-
relied among ourselves, and instead of unit
ing as brothers and tabOring for the com
mon good, ,re hare endearored to destroy
I each other, and the locofocos in their kind
! ness have always been ready to lend help
ing hand in this ldudable uork.
To the end that this may not be the case
again in this county, we propose that com
mittee OF five be appointed in each township
as parts Of county Committee Of cores
pondence. That Clay Club be formed in
each Township. And that in March or
April, Township meetings be held TO appoint
delegates 10 county conve ntion to nomi-
+ nate candidates for the August election
We propose that in the county Convention
each township shall have the same number
of votes, thereby occurring to each Township
equal weighiin making the nominations.
These propositions are made with the hope
that they will meet your appreciation, or that
if objected TO, such concessions may be made
as will remove all objections, and firmly
mite. usas brethren and p1Ti;ots in. our eff
| forts 10 restore our country to It's once hep
Ply condition
They are made in spirit Of Compromise,
and we hope that in the same spirit You will
consider aud accept OF reject them, and we
are persuaded that if yon do, all difficulties
will iii due time be removed, and that our
exertons in both August and November viii
be triumphantly crowned with success.

The proposed amendment to the Com

&c., came up on the llth in the Senate,
and yas passed by that body, without
much opposition.
The amendment is divided into three
sections-the first Of which abolishes

all the Supreme and Circuit Court Judge

third limits the tenure of the former TO
