Within two months our Stale election will be
decided, and before three months President
will be chosen TO preside over our destlnies for
the mex, four years. We have all the elements
of success within our reach, if we avail our
selves Of them by active and efficient Organiza-
ton. Are our friends throughout the State
preparing for the contest, and taking measures
to counleract the desperate efforts OF a desper-
ate party which cllngs TO the spoIs of office
with the ienacny Of death grip! We must
remember that the great PERSONA! popularity,
superior claims and exemplary character Of our
candidates, are not sufficient of themselves 10
secure success, while an ever-ac,ive foe is IN
the field. ready to dispute every inch OF ground,
and armed with weapons which carry poliii-
cal poison with them, unless connteraced by
such antidoies as truth will furnish.
The friends Of Taylor feel confden, Of sue.
cess, andrely on the justice OF their cause. This
feeling animated the viclors OF Buena Vista and
Cerro Gordo. bu, they took active measures,
nevertheless, to secure success. Their videltes
were thrown out, their guards placed, their mus.
kes inspected. and The ammunition examined.
Although there was firm and abiding trust in
the bravery Of our soldiers, still nothing was
left 10 chance, and every obstacle 10 success
was removed. The same caution should ami
mate The Whig party. We feel assured Of VIC
tory, under a leader who has never been de-
feaied, and under a flag that has never been
dshonored, bu. must make all certain, by
energetic organization.
