ORGANIZATION.

HESRy CLAY and THEoDoRE FRELIsGHUYsEN are
now fary before the people Of the United States, as
candidates for their SURFACES for the highest Offices in
their gin. The Wing party nominated these eminent
men with extraordinary harmony and by full conven-
ton Of delegates; and the Of this nomination has
been every where received with joy and enthusiasm.
But Joy and enthusiasm alone never accomplished
anything without a corresponding effort A farmer
might exut in a refreshing shower or warm sun and
anticipate large crops from their genial influence but
unless he sowed bis seed encouraged its growth, and
plucked up the weeds his harvest would be small as
the annual crop Of egtrearers since 1870. Confidence

best speaker in town out, who be obtained, de-
liver short and pithy addresses before the Clubs and

the Club mectngs-Iend them to every man who seems
to desire correct information upon political subjects
Do not force them upon any one or give them where
they will only be destroycd but circulate theta freely
amongst all whose minds are no, so enshrouded in tho
msts Of error and prejudice that beam Of truth

Last but not least, let the younger members Of each
Club form a choir and delight the and nspint the
hearts Of their sires and grsndsires by singing
the patriotic Wing songs which abound nowadays.
Thus, let musical enjoyment be combined with po
litical intelligence, discussion and research and n,
party itself will be rendered active, vigorous and cheer
full, while its several members kept wide awake
and ail-eager to meet their opponeats.

The FIRE seemed to get tired Of the work Of mer
timber burning, and rested from its abo without doin
any material damage beyond destroying considerable
forest timber and iniunng our view by destroying
