HINTS AND COMMENTS BY THE PEOPLE.
Extracts from the Business Correspondents of
the Era.
PLddock's GroUe, Illinois, Nor. 49, / have
not been sufficiently attentive reader of the
Era to know whether the Republican ASCOT
alton" of Washington, and its various BRANCHES
throughout our country, was merely campaign
and accordingly address you for the sake If in
forming myself, and also of urging upol: all
good Republicans the importance of conti9ued
organized and individual effort.
Chevalier Bunsen, in his "Signs off the
Times" marks as one of these, "The power of
free, Spontaneous association" and enlfrges
upon what it has accomplished in modern
times in the development of material W, Nth,
the advance of the Christian religion, ane the
PRONUNCIATION of philanthropic ideas. :
We, of the Saxon race, fully appreciate what
the German might see less readily, and I.peed
only note what seems to me desirable course
of action for all who are against the extension
of Slavery, and, though defeated by minority
party in the election of President, are net yet
"subdued."
/. Every individual should do these hree
things:
L. Make up club for some good newsR ,per,
such as the Era, Neac York Tribune, &c, and
get all his neighbors to subscribe for the7com-
ing year of 1857.
2. Keep on hand, at home and abroad, such
pamphlets as "Poor Whites of the South, &C.,
showing the material, intellectual, and ,poral
disadvantages of Slavery.
3. Purchase and lend, as far as able such
books as "Olmsted's Seaboard Slave ST .tes,"
"Dred," and "Greeley's Slavery Extensicb and
Restriction"
III. In every township there should bea Re-
publican Association, acting as above, so Tar as
possible, with concert and completeness not
so many IN numbers, necessarily, as CONT uous
AMI efficient in action.
III. There should be County Association
in every county, composed of represent .tives
from the townships, and which should keep
depot of suitable publications.
". There should be State Association In
every State, composed of delegates froSa the
counties.
" There should be National Assoc alton
at Washington, or other convenient centr.s per-
forming the duties of the present Association,
in publishing fitting documents for circulation,
and any other desired functions.
The Republican party has all the ele pents
of success. 1t has right on its side, al d ap-
peals to popular principles; it battles !ainst
wrong, in its most fragrant manifestations.
But, sprung suddenly from the integrity if the
nation. 1t lacks thorough organization. Get it
nave this, md the nation will be redeemed.
Forward *tF,
PIainfeld, Indiana l2M mo. 1St.-Those
who have been hastily summoned frop the
hedges and highways, to the rank and ole of
of the Republican party, may be discol ragged
at what may seem to them defeat; buS those
who have lqbored long in the cause, see much
10 encourage and strengthen them in thiL peril
OF hour, when deeds which would disgrace the
most despotic Government in the world IRE be-
ing perpetrated, and the "powers that be are
impotent to prevent them.
When we reflect upon the comparatively
small number that advocated the principles of
the Republican party prior to the passage of
the Kansas and Nebraska bill, and compare
of the present year, where is the truehearted
Republican that is disheartened at our tempo
rary defeat?
The State of Indiana is low in the scale of
education, compared with other free States !;
but notwithstanding this fact, there are jntelli-
| gent men enough in the State TO carry it for
Republican principles, whenever there aan be
had fair expression from the majority. Hun
dreds, nay thousands, of honest ignoratt men,
in this State, have voted with the cold Liners"
because their fathers and grandfathess were
Democrats, and they have been made to believe
that the "Old Line party is as much opposed
to the extension of Slavery as the Repuk icans.
Although we may be outnumbered, we ire not
conquered, or crushed out" but will be on
hand for Fremont and Dayton in 1860, or any
other good men, who stand on the corrert prin-
ciples.
Lebanon, st. Clair, Co., Illinois, Nosy 49,
l am comparatively young in the causeshaving
been with you only since June, 1852 ;tbut no
fact in our country's history is better sabstan-
tiated than this: that the Republican, party
| owes it's present success and position to the IN
4 firing, unselfsh, and arduous e%ertions of the
| Liberty party. May God bless those lsho re.
main of those noble old pioneers, ans spare
their lives, that they may witness the Sonsum'

somewhat disappointed as to the result of the
election in this State, and if there had been nc
fraudulent voting in the extreme southern part
the Republicans would have carried it by sew
eral thousand votes and, furthermore, had not
thousands of voters in the central part of the
State been duped by Fillmore electq;s, who
were stumping and assuring the ignorsnt that
4 Fillmore could and would be elected, lad thus
been drawn of, Fremont would have. carried
the State by 20, 600 majority. Bot weare by
no means disheartened. We are now Sbout to
purchase press, and put it in charge of a
thorough Republican, and do our utaost to

but / have become satisfied that Southern Hi

better, we must let all who can and till read
have the plain truth. Weston's "Pooi Whites
