To cOunteract them, we too, must be
united and OTgsnized. "When bad men
combine, the good must associate, else
they fall an unpitied sacrifice in q con-
emplhle struggle" Organize, there's
fore, throughout the whole and in every
part. Organize ia the State, and the
counties. in the townships and wards and
in the neighborhoods, Organize every
where! Let every neighbOrhOOd, ward /,
township and county be polled. We
must know every man in the State who
is with US. Establish Clubs, for an excnange
of courtesies and sentiments among our.
selves and for the dissemination of infOr'
nation among the people, by means Of pa

all its pesiilent foods of irred eemabls
paper trash, deDOminated "currency ,''the
overthrow of all the reforms attained by
The democracy after years Of uninter-
mitted toll and strife, the launching forth
Of the State again, into schemes Of wild
speculation and internal Improvements,
and the consequent increasing of the
State debt, creating necessity for addi-
IiOnal burdens Of taxation, expansions of
Bank, in6atiOns of the currency, fcti-

collapse, the depreciation Of the curren-

sufferings Of the last FIVE years, the

banks, ruin Of business, and general dis

present. so govern their course in pru.
lencs, zeal, fidelity and energy, as to
'scaps those evils and insure those bles'
ngs in The future.
