Sin in view Of the great efforts making by
tho Taylorites Of the State ~ perfect the organ
ization Of their party and 10 secure the success
Of their ticket, the State Committee have deem
cd il necessary that corresponding effort on the
part Of the Free Democracy should be made TO
meet the extraordinary exertiOns Of our oppo-
nonfs. Unless there are immediate and well d.
reciod and decisive measures taken on the part
Of our County, Town, aud School District Com.
mitiees. there is danger that the superior energy
and discipline OF tho Wings will be successful 10
the approaching struggle. The great object to
be accomplished on our part Is 10 see that the
entire strength Of the opposition 10 the present
proslayery administration Is brought TO the polls.
Unceasing efforts on the part Of cur committees
should be made TO sec euery man Of the party,
especially any who may be Indifferent or wnyer-
ing, and stimulate him to action. Particular at

perfectly organized with Town and School Dis

as soon as these lists can be made out TO forward

who will forward them to the Chairman Of the
State Committee. As soon as il is asceriained
who the doubtful men are, efforts by the way Of
papers and personal influence should be made to
bring this class Of voters into our ranks The
point is TO get them to understand truly the real
issue between the Free Democracy and the pro
slavery Taylorites, and they will be with rs
IL is important TO prcss upon the minds Of al

G,400 majority against the Present Taylor candi-
date for Governor, on very full vote and that
he aggregate rOte for SAajier and Dillingham; last
year, Is majority Of Me highest roie erer cast IN
he STATE! All that is necessary to secure our
triumph is to concentrate this vote on our ticket
A list OF the doubtful in every town should be

copy of il forwarded to the Chairman Of The
County Committee.
The Chairman Of the County and Town Com
mittees il is expected will consider themselves
responsible that the above plan is carried into
