ORGANIZATION

The Wings will not allow us permanent
peace: No-not even temporary truce They
are moi disbanding-notdi>a for mo.
ment. They are scarcely relaxing their efforts
for a mnute but the buse is continually sound
ing TO bring their scattered ranks together, and
preparing for new onset IN AZ, and Tor every
election that is 10 lake place from hiS time 10
that. Pride. resentment Eve will not say revenge
their extravaganza sympathy for defeated candi-
date. every thing, seems 10 stimulate them 10 new
efforts. WE must not conceal the unpleasant
truth from ourselves; but They are ben, upon bat
te-apd We must organize ourselves for the con-
Test We had sighed Tor peace; but SemPronius
will not have ii So With full sense. therefore,
of the propretv Of our Correspondents counsels,
we Law before the Public the following commune
cation.
So much in regard 10 the Opposition whom we
have to encounter One word now in relation TO
our own friends. We advise moderation, as well
as frmness. Let lis leave Mr. Polk 10 select
his own Cabinet. and to administer the general
patronage OF his office, (at all times one OF the
most delicate and embarrassing duties which al
tach TO the Execulive,) according 10 his own best
discretion. If he does not exactly please our
taste in the dispensa,ion, lei us yield with the
best grace in the world-ccnsure him not with TOO
much leeling-quasrel not at all-bul keep tosc-
Their firmly united against the common opposition.
The Wings are already trying to put Us by the
ears. They pretend 10 speculate upon the >iruS-
giles, which they say are on foot between the
friends OF Van Buren, and Calhoun, Tor the as
cendancy They would gladly blow the flame OF
dscord, il they could, and set our camp on fire
But thcy are reasoning upon wrong premises.
They are assuming stale OF things, winch does
not really exist. There is not, there Glu>t not he
any lnirgLcs lcaou>ieS, struggles Tor mastery,
projects Tor the advancement oil ambition, under
currents OF interest; in fine, any selfish moves, or
sectional differences, or PreclpiIate aspirations.
The Republican Party must be KEEP, together one
and indivisbc; ana woe unto those who should
attempt TO break il asunder Let the Wings,
then, be satisfied that they are counting again
without: their host, We shall keep together, be-
cause they are 50 well banded together. We
shall be united, bccause they are so determined.
The arch will onlg stand the irmer, because OF
the violent and superintendent pressure which
they are placing upon il.
But there is another duty, which We owe 10
our country. We must do our duty Whist

After so animated and prolracted a contest, 4
Snort time ought TO be allowed for repose and re-
Taxation. But allow me respectfully 20 warn YOU,
nv brethren against any excess OF this kind
Lei US all remember. that unless the new Prc>i-
dent is supported by Democratic Senate and
Democratic House OF Representatives. Our rnea-
sures cannot be adopted, or our principles prevail.
Much, therefore, viii depend upon the elections
which will take place in the se:eral States, be-
tween this and the Isl Monday in December, lst5.
LIE; The Republicans OF Virginia and the whole
Union look to this mat,er in dnc'iime. We were
defeated in Virginia last Spring, By The superior
organization, industry and tact Of our opponents;
but we rallied soon after, and carried the State
in November BY nearly six thousand. We
should improve orr 'iclory-periect the work
which has progressed 50 ar 10 our entire satisldc-
