We are pleased TO see that our friends in
some parts Of the country are beginning to
understand that the nomination Of Gen. Tay-
lor is not equivalent to bic election. The over.
confidence Of men in the strength Of the Gem
erals name at one time threatened our defeat.
IL seems 10 have induced The belief, that ali
the ordinary means and agencies for putting
the requisite number Of votes into the ballot
boxes might be safely omitted. The %circula-
latlon Of documents, the organization Of vig-
lance clubs, the efficient and harmonious ac-
ton Of the central committee, as asthe oral dis
cussion Of men and measures at political meet
ings Of the masses--all these modes Of con-
contrating political action, and rendering it eff
cient, appear to have been abandoned. Gem
eTal Taylor will be elected beyond doubt
has been the universal response Of good and
sound Wings, when the lack Of energetic de-
monstration in his favor has been the subject
Of regret or comment.

amounts to nothing, unless we also look after
the party machinery. The candidate who
polls the most votes is the successful candi-
date, The Locofoco party were never better
drilled and organized than they are at this
moment. Never during the last twenty years,
have there been a more thorough union and
cooperation Of the office-holders. Never have
they been more open, loud mouthcd, and
shameless in their interference with an cleo
ton. From all quarters we hear Of their ac-
tivity and insolence. Here they are address,
lug public meetings; there they are collecting
subscriptions. In another plBce wa find them
banded ~insscommittees, sending out circulars
and documents, begging, coaxing, stimulating
the action Of their brethren. These efforts
ore harmonious, active, efficient, and universal
They reach, through The bold organization ofhe
Qfice-holders in The Post Office, every uiuage, cue

JOhn's to Me Rio Grande. In what must all
this terminate? In the election of General
Cass, unless these mighty efforts of the Of
fceholders, the contractors, the hired organs,
the paid patriots, the whole corps of the

tered by equal vigilance, by equal spirit, BY

Reform.
The oficc-holders and the dependents Of the
Executive have always been potent, not to say
omnipolent, in elections, because they %consti-
tute a vast standing committee, always at work
issuing their correspondence, getting up their
meetings, manufacturing public opinion, food
ing the countrywith their extra documents and
campaign journals, and bringing home to the
Preside Of every citizen the specious and
insidious arguments by which they demon
strate to the country the great Importance Of
keeping themselves in their places, by raising
their. candidate TO the Presidency! In every
Presidential election since 1882 we have seen
the management, the influence, and the con-
troll Of the ofice-hoIders. In 1910, the people
oyercame the office holders. How? BY a SUI
perior organization, by superior activity, by
superior diligence in the circulation Of efec
tive documents, by more skill and better argu-
ments, and more thorough discussion of pub
lie questions at our massmeetings. 1t was
through all these agencies, and not merely by
the confidence inthe integrity and patriotism
Of General Harrison, that We won the glorious
victories Of 1910. Then we saw every man
discussing with his n~eighbor the great ques-
tons If public interest and importance. Then
we saw the people coming together BY tens Of
thousands to advise and counsel on public af-
fairs. Then we saw the best, ablest and wisest
men Of the country, for days and weeks TO-
gelher traversing tn length and breadth Of
the land, and making the topics involvedin the
familiar ashousehold wordsr 10 the
Wings Of the Union! 1t was thus you con-
quered the allied hosts Of corruption an6 pluE-
der in 1910. Do not deceive yourselves with
the idea that it was the name of General HAIR
rison that conquered foryou then-it is nOtin the
L#L I
mere name Of Zachary Taylor that you are to
c ,me of the yictols now. Never did men de-
themselves BY q more fatal delusiOn.-
Remember Wings, that il was while the strong
man slept that the Pbllistines came upon him!
