Republican State Central Committee were
instructed by the Republican Mass Convcn-
tion at Kalamazoo on the 18th day of Sep
tember last, to prepare and submit plan of
organization for the Republican party of this
State. Subsequently to that period, certain
earnest and active friends of the cause in the
City of Detroit, acting under the suggestion
given cut by the National Republican Asso-
ciation at Washington, formed the Detroit
Republican Association, and invited the Co
operation of the Republicans of the towns,
cities and counties OF the interior. This plan
of organization having been brought to the
Republican State Central Committee, they
gave such examination as to induce them to
endorse it as an eligible and efficient plan of
State organization. The limited time which
is to eapse before it will become necessary
for the Republicans of Michigan to take part
in the National organization, renders it inn
pcrative that no time should be lost in per-
fecting their own. Accordingly, this Com
mittee would earnestly recommend immedi-
ate cooperation with the Detroit Republican
Association, in accordance with and upon the
plan suggested in their circular letter. The
principles which lie at the bottom Of the Re
publican organization are clearly and amply
set forth in the brief form of Constitution
which accompanies this circular letter. The
consest has already been waged in Congress
upon hc'prineiples of that Constitution, and
a determination fully expressed to that fight
contest upon the simple issue of Freedom or
.Siavery extension, unembarassed by all other
issues whatever, whether State or National.
Whoever is for that principle Is one of lis, no
matter what his antccedents have been.
Promptncss is the soul of efficiency eflicien-
cy secures success. The principle being right
nothing remains but the opinions fthis Com
mittce, that result may be confidently looked
for by the formation of Republican associations
with all convenient expedition, throughout
the State, to which will be committed the
business of local organization, the dissemina-
ton of documents, the rallying of strength,
and the general details of this campaign, up
to the hour closing the polls. This Commit
tee will strenuously cooperate with the plan
of organization, and having fully identified
themselves with it, would respectfully invite
the cooperation Of every voter in the State,
who believes it to be the duty of freemen to
extend freedom and not slavery. Our oppo-
nents, with their appetites for office whettcd
by one year of most unwilling abstinence,
make the air resound with their premon-
tory howls; they arc organized and coming
III with double force Of cunning obsequiotls-
ness and brazan, effrontery, to ask for a recon-
ital OF public affairs into their trcacherous and
unfaithtul hands, but the people of Michigan,
having experienced one year of prudent, eff
cient and honest management of State affairs
upon the principle District accountability, will
be in no haste to exchange upright servants
for treacherous and insolent masters Meth
er in the a'pect of national affairs have
tn, Republican party ought to fear. The
open rccreancy of the President, not only to
the principles of his party, but to the men
who have sought to maintain them, has left
him without the slightest hold upon the
popular regard, an easy victim to that over
whelming and swift destruction which is pcnt
up i'll the popular heart, and awaits only its
signal to be let loose upon the heads of those
who have sold their birthright to slavery.
Republicans of Michiganl Certain victory
awaits us if we wisely use the hours which are
given us, to promote and carry out tho
rolgh and efficient organization. In recon-
lnending the abo' plan, the Committee have
acquitted themselves of distinct and imper-
ative duty, made so by the action of the Mass
Convention, and feel, in addition, a strong
personal satisfaction, that, from the spirit in
which this organization has been undertaken,
the highest hopes of its originators will be
realized, and its result will be made manifest
in the permanent redemption of the State,
and the essential triumph of the great princi-
pie of non-extcnsion of Slavery
