III Our friend 10 is what is generally term
ed bad boy, and succeeded in binding his
mother for some time, as to his imbibng pro-
pensiles, and one morning she said to him af-
ter he had swallowed some half dozen cups of
coffee, and as many glasses of cold water, 'Jo-
seph thee should drink something before thee
goes to bed at night. Thee is always so
thirsty in the morning." but one night, one ia
tai night, Jo came in before the old lady retir-

intoxicated wisdom, began conversng about
the goodness of the crops, the late unfortunate
outbreak in the meeting, and was getting on
very well. until he espied what he supposed to

ORoAsIzE.-We hope the Wings through
out the County and State will feel the indis
pensible necessity Of thorough organization,
and that Immediately, as but few days wiz
now elapse, before they will be called upon y
deposit their votes for President and Vios
President of the United States. A single
town, which fails to do this duty, may neutrs-
lze all that is done in other towns and other
sections Of the State. Such neglect on the
part of any is unjust to our Whig friends 10
other sections, and may injure the cause in The
State. More than ever before is thorough
organization now necessary, 10 prevent great
mischief from the exertions made by the Cass
and Van Buren factions.
Let the people be called together, in Tho
different towns and the great subjects which
now agitate the country. discussed. Every
thing which attracts the attention Of men ,e-
the great principles involved In the present
contest; every thing which brings men TO en-
quire, reason and reflect, operates in our favor.
Never were questions at issue so simple nev-
er were principles involved in the present con-
troversy so vital. The Cass and Van Buren
party are in the false and dishonest position Of
supporting candidates who are hostile to the
best interests Of the country, and Of every in-
dividual voter in the Union. .... -
Much can be done by holding public meet.
ings. Large gatherings Of the people, though
desirable, are not often 30 cffectual as smaller
ones. 1t is also great error to under-valus
the ability for good, Of local speakers. In q
cause like that which we espouse, much good
can be effected by local speakers, and frequsn,
meetings should be called and the questions in
volved in the present contest thoroughly dis
cussed.
Let the speakers themselves, at all the meet.
ings in which they are called, great and small>
never omit to enforce the indisputable neeessi-
~ of thorough and immediate organization.
And finally, let no man wait for another to do
any work which is calculated to advance the
cause. LET HIM DO 1T HIMSELF
Nine out Of every ten intelligent men can
make an acceptable address to the People on
this question and the whole ten can perform
the work Of organization. The Wing cause
now depends upon that spontaneous individual
effort which any man can supply who exerts
himself, in manner worthy Of that great mis-
sion which is entrusted TO him as a member Of
the grea, Wing party.

Reuolting Spectacle. Of those wretch
ed spectacles which are seen wherever the
system Of frican slavery is tolerated, was pre-
sented in the streets Of our city, on Sunday
morning last. A gang Of negroes, consisting
of persons of both sexes, accompanied by
white man, on their way TO Southern mark
ct, passed along Chestnut street, as the bells Of
the rarious churches Uere calling on christians
10 assemble al thar respective places Of ,oorship
In front Of the procession was large wagon,
in which were thickly slowed several women
and children. This was followed by forty
three men and boys walking, several of them
chained together, the whole uncer the charge
of man on horseback. This miserable spec.
tacle excited the honest indignation of our cit
izens, who regarded it as direct insult offer
ed to them, and the day, and the hour.
We have heard several of our most respect
able citizens speak of this outrage on the feel
ings of Christian community, all of whom
concurred in reprobating it in the strongest
possible terms. And, yet, such spectacles are
the necessary adjuncls of the system Of sla-
very. Wherever it prevails, they will be
seen. We have never heard any one speak OF
the slave traders, who are engaged in the in
fernal slave trade, without denOuncing them
and their accursed traffic. They are every
where looked upon as unworthy Of the least
respect, and their society is Stunned by ALL
and yet men are found, who, for base love
of money will consign themselves and families
to universal contempt, and others are found
who for the sake of Jew pitful dollars, will
sustain these men in their traffic by selling
their slaves to them.
We earnestly hope the day is not very dis
tant when our beloved Commonwealth, so hon
ored and honorable in other respects, will gel
rid Of its system of bondage, and along with
it, all its revolving adjuncts.
