CLOSE Up:

Two weeks more bring us TO the eve OF our
State Election: and we regret to say that the
organization of the Republican party Is IN many
sections still imperfect. We have still our Sena-
tors TO nominate in several Of the lower districts,
with local tickets in a number Of counties ani
cities. We need County Committees, Ward Clubs,
and other working machinery in many localities,
and the time for preparation is short Our obvious
strer 9th ia one source Of serious peril. The gen.
eral conviction that the Republican State ticket
will be carried by an overwhelming ajorty, pre-
cludes exertions which would otherwise be
made. We shall poll Thousands Of votes less than
we should fit we're generally believed that our
triumph was at all doubtful But multitudes
think that the union Of the great body of the Wings
of other days with the better portion OF the Demo-
crats renders effort needless, because success is
inevitable And hence our victory is likely to
prove less complete and conclusive than it should
be-
We urge the friends of the Republican ticket
in every county which shall not have been previ'
ously Organized to meet at the Court-bSuse on
Saturday nert (27th inst) at noon, then and there
to make nominations, if any shall remain to be
made, to appoint County aud Town Committees,
provide for the printing and distribution of ballots,
and for a vigorous and vigilant attendance at the
polls. The gaps made in the old Wing organiza-
ton by the stealthy ard unsupported perversion OF
our former Committee. to HndOOism cost us
thousands of votes last November. These gaps
are now to be filled up in the Republican array,
and the ablest and best of the Democrats who fol-
lowed Sas Wright and Hoffman, are volunteering
TO fill them In many Counties a full half of the
Democrats support the Republican ticket; in a
few, we hope to do even better than that. Otsego
and Herkimer gave Seymour last year over
Twenty.sx Hundred plurality; we believe they
will now give one TO Preston King. In Chau-
tsuaue. Gov. Clark had less than third of the
votes last year. we hope to see the Republicans
come out ahead next month. And so in other To-
calities.
The Silver Gray vote was formidable 10 other
years because it was cast directly for our leading
adyersaries Twenty Thousand of the Grays suf
feed to give our State to Pierce but six times that
number will not suffice to elect Headley and Bur-
rows. These gentlemen sadly mis- calculated their
strength when they stopped voting for the regular
Pro-Slavery party and set up for Themselves
Formerly their votes told against us; now they are
simply thrown away We trust they will perse-
we're in their present course they do less harm in
it than in any other.
It is not enough that New.York should now elect
the Republican ticket; it behooves her to give it
majority that shall reverberste from Maine to Kan
sas and thrill the hearts of the sorely harassed
FreeState settlers with joyful assurance that their
deliverance is nigh. Republicans of New-York
we urge you, where your nominations and other
preparations are not complete to meet in your sew
eral counties on Saturdaynext at noon, and in your
townships on the evening Of the following Mon
day Meantime confer freely with each other, issue
calls, and by every means prepare for the contest.
Let not the first Tuesday in November find you
voteless and every way unready, as it did SO many
OF the Wings last year.
