HE ORGANIZATION.

he ORGANIZATION
Judging from the tone of the Free Democrat
10 Press, the Organization it represents ha
never been SO we'll prepared for action.
The Portland Inquirer, Of Maine, opens tn
. campaign of SO, by raising the flag of Hal
and Julian, and insisting upon thorough
State organization.
The Weekly Free Press, published at She
boygan Falls, thinks the sympathes of larg'
body of the FRUSTRATED Wings are with tn,
Free Democracy and that many Democrats
repealed by what it predicts will be the ultra
Pro-Savery policy Of Pierce's Administration
will join its ranks 1t adds

dom will be able to understand itself and or.
ganze itself sufficiently to triumph in 1856, but
we know that manifest destiny which rules
the world, demands however long the struggle
may be protracted that Freedom must triumph

by D. w. Bartlett, well known by his letters
from London, and j. R. Hawley, the able chair
man of the State Central Committee of the
party. "Ncver before" they say "since the
beginning of our struggle, have our prospects
been more bright than ut present. One Of the
leading Pro-Savery parties Of the country lies
in ruins at our feet the other cannot long hold
together; the first breath Of agitation will con-
sumo its power Of adhesion
the Boaton Commonwealth is by no means
dspirited by the breaking M of the Coalition.
Not only it remarks "ig the Free pemoc-
racy In MASSACHUSETTS more numerous and
better united than 1t ever has been, but our
principles have taken deeper hold of men OF
both the other parties than at any Former time.
The same is true in other States The vote for

old Democratic parties are thoroughly imbued
with our principles and it is nothing but at
tachmeut to old names aud old associates that
prevents them from breaking oil and joining,
our ranks at once Thousands and thousands
are with us in sentiment, who ate not SO in
name They cannot fail to rally rouad our
standard sooner or later
10 relation to the campaign of So, it says
ain MASSACHUSETTS, we have a system of or

Commonwealth during the past three years.
The Free Democracy in every State should
have at once a system of organization as per-
feet and efficient as can be made
AS to making q nomination now-four
years in adyance-we do not concur in it, We
cannot see the wisdom Of it. John p Hale has
the love and confidence of the Free Democracy
of the nation He merits it all We do not
think it policy now to place any man in nomi-
nation four years in advance Great changes
may take place in that time. Hundreds of
thousands may unite with us upon our glorious
platform, and these thousands may wish for an
opportunity of meeting with us in National
Convention in $50. Our position is this: On
