Orgnnize! Orysuize!

We would urge upon our Republican friends
throughout the county, the necessity of immedi-
ate and thorough ORGANIZATION. The en-
my, divided into several sections, under different
names, are working secretly to undermine our
cause. The Gardnerites are straining every
nerve, resorting to the game of Dragging and "
ing, and endeayOring in that way to keep up the
quailing courage Of their adherents, well know
ing that in fair and open contest they would
stand no chance whatever of success. The sure
and efectual mode to balk all their efforts and
put them to utter rout. is to organize, procure
speakers, and spread abroad, with liberal hand,
the documents and facts concerning the actual
state Of things But one week more remains to
do up all this work before the great contest is de-
eided
AL orders for documents or speakers, from Re
publican Associations in any of the towns Of the
county, will be speedily supplied, on application,
by mail or otherwise, to W. W. Rice, Esq, No.

Freedom be up and doing Organize organize!

The Inst Week,


But six days more will elapse before the intel
ligent voters of the Old Bay State will be called
upon to deposite their ballots for candidates for
all the important Offices of the State On their
right decision in the matter, will depend the pc.
litical veal or woe of our beloved Commonwealth
for twelve month On the one side we have an
organization, and candidates, true as steel to the
great principles of Republicanism. On the other,
we see srrayed the divided forces of an enemy,
unprincped in their action, proscriptive in their
IDEAS and interruptions in their choice of the
mnde OF warfare. For this reason it becomes the
interest Of every man who has at heart the best
interests of his race, to be up and doing, and be
prepared TO meet them. Republican associations
should be forthwith formed in every town where
they have not already done So Meetings should
be held nightly from now till next Tuesday. Dis.
eussion and inquiry should be awakened in the
minds of the people On the hill tops and on
the plains, in every village, hamlet, and school
district, throughout the County, should be en-
kindled the fires Of Liberty that their cleaning
light may guide the honest wanderer in his path
of political duty.
Let those take hold OF this matter who have
the time and opportunity. And what true friend
Of his country and its free institutions, can fail
TO find time and opportunity, in such crisis as
this
Are you for Freedom, or are you for Slavery /?
As you decide, so ACT!

NORTHERN Spy APPLE.-A knowledge of the
great excellence of this fruit, and belief that
it might be successfully and proftably cultivated
in this vicinity, induced u.s. few years since. to
procure from Western New York, on two success
sive seasons, several thousar DIS Of the scions.-
They were extensively disseminated in this coun.
ty, and we begin to see the fruit in our exhibi.
hons and cur market. We have bought several
barrels this fall, Of as good size, as fair hand.
some, and perfect in every respect as the best we
ever saw from Western New York We are more
and more confirmed in the belief that it will be
one of the most profitable apples that can be rails
ed by those who pay attention to their trees, and
cultivate well 1t is magnificent, late keeping
fruit, of large size and exquisite favor, tasting as
fresh and good in April and May as il Just gath
cred from the tree. 1t appears inclined to bear
most on the odd years, which is special recon.
mendation in this vicinity, as the Baldwin bears
most freely on the even years.
The trees of this variety are of very vigorous
and upright growth, branching very freely The
consequence is, that it makes head so thick that.
il left to ITSELF it does not bear WE'LL and the fruit
is so densely shaded, that it is small and com
paraiively poor. The remedy is, to thin out the
top freely by pruning, and it then bears freely,
and the fruit is large and good.
