ADDRESS to the Members Of the Lcwisburg Repub-

ADDRESS to the Members of the Lcwisburg Repub-
lcan Association and to all interested in its designs
FELLOW CITIZENS. The object OF our Association
is not vet accomplished. 1t has pleased Providence
that minority of the voters-throngh our crcuitous
method Of choosing the PreSident-Shoud enruSt the
Government for another term to who inherit the
policy and are bound to walk in the footsteps of an
Administration which lately loaded with almost
unanimous execration But, though not in all things
successful, not beaten, or, if beaten,
discouraged 1t not for selfish transient
purpose that banded together. Permanent and
vital interests stake and while word may vet
be spoken for the Right, against the Wrong, we ought
not be found wanting.
With these views we have judged it best to continue
our organzaton,with slight notifications, and call
upon you to cooperate with Us. By so doing, may
cultivate the germs of political truth which have
recently been scattered among (more prousclv and
cifcctually than done before O Il single
Occasion and bring them TO glorious harvest hercaf
We propose TO continue this good work and add TO
former methods the advantages OF Reading Room,
where the community may have to the leading
organs of public sentiment both North and South and
learn for themselves what the facts and tendencies
of political movements.
Is is our desire also that like Associations should be
formed in every borough and township, in adjacent
Boroughs and Townships, throughout this and other
Counties and States. If then these he connected
with County organizations in all the counties, and
these again with Central Associations for the States
we shall have ready channel for the circulation of
intelligence and inStrumentalty for future action,
the want of Wilhelm a few of the Free Statcs-was
the principal occasion Of recent disappointment.
Meanwhile, there is much for us to do. 1t is TO he
feared indeed that nothing now, short Of general
uprising of the North in its physical might deliver
Kansas from that doom TO which rufans and tyrants
have destined her-a doom darker and more bloody
than tnat of Poland, Hungary, Rome-bro't about,
too, by more fragrant violation of every civil and
political right, than entered into the brain Of Catane
or Benedict Arnold. But can, at least, help to
load Congress with petitions for her admission as
Free State and watch that her enemies gain advan
tage over her which diligence part could avert
Other great questions pertaining to Slavery, must
engage the attention of this and the next Congress
The Annexation Of Nicaragua Slave Statc-the
Acquisition OF Cuba-Ihe Rc-opening of the African
SlaveIrade with its inseparabe and for accursed
horrors, are all openly and earnestly demanded by
those who have been ch ey instrumental in the election
of Mr.. Buchanan while it is plainly implied in the
tenets which have been ratified by majority of the
Electoral mot, thank Cod Of the popular) votes that
all barriers TO the transfer of Slaves into yet Free
States, unconstitutional, and must be got out of
the way! Here, surely is matter grave enough to
require our frequent and united consideration.
And while the occasion for our watchfuncSs and
energy Is urgent, the encouragement is great Our
desire for the immediate elevation of Fremont to that
post which he would have honored is thwarted, but
when we reflect how aearly we succeeded and under
