EXTRACTS FROM CORRESPONDENTS
Clinton, DE Kalb County, Ill.,, March IL
Our Republican Association met pursuant
ljournment, and We had upward of twent
ore names added to the constitution and pla
rm. We intend To meet In every schnnl Ii


adjournment, and we had upward of twenty
more names added to the constitution and plat
form. We intend to meet in every school dis
trict in the town, and hatter myself that Wa
can enlist nine tenths of all the inhabitants of
this place in the "good cause of Repubcanism.'
MacOmb, Michigan, March live believe
the time has come when ell parties should cease
their petty strifes, and come to the polls as one
united phalanx, and the work will be done. OF
one thing rest assured, Michigan will do her
duty; and in confirmation of this | would say,
the Republicans are already organizing and, as
an indication or sign of the time to come, are
assisted by very many who always went strong
with the old Democratic party. They feel the
tide must be stopped; it must even be rolled
back upon the invading foe.
At the time of organizing, some of the old
Democrats made themselves very conspicuous,
when they saw so many of those with whom
they bad voted, and some who had held high
and responsible stations in Office walk up and
subscribe to the Republican platform.
Richland GrOre, Ill.,, Mdrch 20.-The old line
Democrats are our strongest advocates. Our
President has always been a wealthy and inhu.
entail man in their ranks, until the Infamous
act of 1850.
Hess Roads, Ne1ctane, Niagara Co., N. ].
March 3l.-We organized Republican AssO-
citation in this town on Saturday, 10Th instant;
and, although the roads are almost impossible,
we had good meeting, and fifty subscribed TO
our Constitution we are also forming similar
associations in every school district, and we are
bound to exterminate Hunkerdom and Know
Nothingism before November. | wish every
district in this State might have similar or
ganization. The people are aroused, and all
they want u.s. to know each other, and these as
socations are just the thing.
The Know Nothings have done us great harm
in this county, but their power is broken; the
nomination of Fillmore has added afresh to
their disgrace. Friends Of Liberty have found
their vision cleared of the haze of the dark Ian
terms, and it was gratifying to see them come
back to us perfectly satisfied with their expen'
ence in Apaericanisn, and full of zeal for the
good work.
wilkins, AUegheny Co., Pa, april 2.-Tbese
two townships have heretofore been strongly
american in feeling and sentiment and are
yet to certain extent; but all seem now to
consider the only issue before the people s
whether Slavery or Freedom shall triumph.
We can confidently assure you that Allegheny
county will roll up large majority for Free
dom, if we can only have sound and moderate
men brought forward as our candidates,
Fftzacilliam, N. H., april al write to in
form you of the formation, in this town, OF
Republican Association, designed to cooperate
with the great movement throughout the coun
try. The town (of about 300 voters) has not
yet been very extensively canvassed, but there
is no debut of our securing at the polls, if not
as members of our club, the entire Anti-De
cratic force of the place. Great enthusiasm 10
manifested, and the members of the American
Council are among the foremost TO join.
When / say we shall have the entire anti
shamocratic force On our side, in this town. ii
is no hifalutng brag, but what we have the best
of reasons for believing to be truth. The only
cases at all admitting of daabt are such as are
affected by the question: of the Liquor Law.
We are in hopes Of making them see the irrele-
vancy of that question in the Presidential con-
test.
