OF The mode Of organlhg Inc Wing Pany In
this ecnniy, beg leave, respectfully 10 report:
That after due and deliberate considera.
ton OF the different modes of organization
proposed, they have come to the conclusion
mat under the circumstances ia which we are
p'aced-ihe sparseness Of our population, the
great geographical extent of the country. and
the counties thereunto attached, and the con.
sequcnt difficulty of assembi bling delepa,rs fire..
lquently from the different aud distant precincts
The best and most appropriate mode of or.
lganizlng at present Is 10 appoint committee
for This precinct, who shall act as cent,a.
committee Of correspondence for the county.
and the District composed of Crawford, Chin.
ipewa.St Croix and LaPoin,e counties, and in.
site the Wings in the other precincts within
me District to appoint committees to act with.
IN their own limits. and to correspond with our
committee. And we would recommend 10 The
Wings In the other Counties composing this
District, as soon as they deem il expedieni, 10
organize central committees Of correspondence,
10 correspond with their own precnci commit
tees OF other counties lnihe District, and with
our committee.
! several
committees act as committees Of vigilence and
use Ill honest and honorable means to difuse
and disseminate the true principles of the
Wing party. and encourage The Wings TO unite
in propogating and sustaining them.
Believing. as we do, that the principles we
advocate are of vital importance 10 the welfare
1of our country; and believing that our oppon-
ents generally are honest and well meaning
men, but misled by the specous aud deceptive
language OF their party leaders, and especially
by The assumption oil The popular name of
l'Demacrai," and other favourile names of the
old Republican par'y-io which their present
party principles do not belong-we belive il
to be our imperious duty, and one. which, as
patriots we are bound &c perform, to undeceive,
as much as possible, the honest portion of our
opponents by procuring the diffusion of correc,
political information, both by public addresses
and by the press.
The most successful means by which the
leaders OF our opponents have deceived and mis-
led the honest portion Of the.r followers is the
aragani assumption OF the name. "Democrar'-

Wing, are The same as those advocated by
friends OF our country while the doctrines no,g
Improperly called democratic are the identical
doclrins ad vocaled By the old defunci Federal
party; the effects of which in the policy and
administration of the affairs of the Nation, The

In local, as well as national affairs we are
compelled 10 feel the bad effects of ,hs mis-

has become greatly in debt. To see the treas

i II is true, The Improvement, in The fuan-

except from heavy taxation TO be added to our
present almost iniolerabie burdens.
Bo, what comes more directly home TO our
feelings aud pockets, in our local affairs. is
The fact that our county, which until the man
agemen, Of its affairs fell entirely into the
hands of the Locos, was able to NEE, all reas-
enable demands against il, has now become
involved someSl 800, 10 debt. notwithstanding
the application and expenditure of upwards OF
Sl,400 for curren, expenses, which had been
raised expressly for the support of schools.
and the benefit of roads and bridges. This
sum of Sl400. raised expressly for schools,
roads aud bridges within the last two years,
she Law expressly provides shall not be appli.
ed to any other use. But our Law county au-
,horiiies mol wiihstanding this Law. applied
the amount to other expenses. The county,
therefore. owes TO schools, roads and bridges
more than 81 ,400 which, added TO about ST.
600. or more not paid. and nothing, a. present
+ 10 pay with, involves the county some $4,000
in dsbt. in lille over two years time. There
are facts which the records of he county clear-
Is exhibit. and cannot be denied
/ This state OF things requires change 10 The
, administration of our affairs. and as is natural,
we should begin at home. where all oar DO
i cal interest effects our pockets and pride most
directly. And it is to be hoped that The people
will open their eyes 10 the only means of re-
/ lief from their present and increasing burdens
which is a change in men and measures in the
management OF our affairs. and with diffsr-
eni and better management Of county affairs,
we need different and better management OF
Territorial matters; TO effect which must have
different and better representation and when
,h;s - af-se,ad ,Ua shall throuoh that means.
