Organize: Organize:
We cannot too strongly impress upon our
Republican friends. throughout the county
and state. the necessity of an early and ener-
getic organization of our forces. to be in read
mess for future operations. Soon both the
national and state legislatures will he in SEES
sion. and the influence of organized bodies OF
TIE friends of freedom throughout the country
will be needed to back up the efforts of our
representatives and senators in the discharge
of their duties. The greatest cause of the ex
istence of doughfaces is the lack of constit'
uency of the right stamp to back up the en-
deavors OF hose in power TO be true TO their

Is there anything in the result of the late
elections which should really dishearfen

the slavehoding oligarchy. while there is left
ommeAdable mode of remedy like the ballot
box. Let us act with strict reference to 1858
aud 1860, when new Congress and new
President will have to be chosen. At the pres.
ent trial, even. few thousand votes, in the
right quarter, would have given US the day.
AT another heat victory is sure.
If, to the next House Of Representatives at
Washington, we have failed to re-elect
number of tried and true men, and given the
seats to Democrats in many districts, repre-
scented in the present House by men nominal
ly Republicans, the representatives we have
this time elected are all true and sound, pos.
sessed of backbones, and uncontaminated to
much extent with that foolish mania Of Know
Nothing'sm which has injured and impaired
the efficiency OF so many of our men in the
pr eltCongrs's. Thus, Massachusetts, m .ke'

The complexion of the next Senate should
be source of great encouragement to the
friends OF freedom, as an incentive to organ.
izaiion and future action. The Republican
strength in the present Senate is but fifteen,
all told. We have gained one in Rhode
Island. one in Connecticut. one in Michigan,
and one in Wisconsin, making Republican
gain of four, and making our present strength
in that body nineteen, sure. Thus the six

Should not facts like these, coupled with
the oktraordinsy strength of our popular
vote, and our immense plutalities in all the
more northern states for Fremont aud
freedom, at the late election, be sufficient in
een'ives TO organized action aud eli ,rt for the
future. notwithstanding our failure to elect

other way but by a continuous fire of argu.
