TOWNSHIP COMMITTEES.

Ess- AS il is important always, and spc-
cialiy SO now, that the people of every
and all sections of the county should
have voice in the nomination of their
officers, and as it is sometimes difficult
to obtain action in this matter unless some
few have special authority to initiate the
movement, we have determined to re-
publish the list of township committees
appointed at the last Republican conven-
ton, and we appeal to them to use their
best efforts to have every township rep
resented in the coming convention. 1t
is important that we have delegates who
are good, sound Republicans, who can
detect and thwart the Vaccinations of our
enemies in the attempts which will un-
doubleday be made to divide us upon 10
cal issues, as they have been divided,
and who care more for the interests of
the county and the party than for the po-
litical aspirations of any one man.
Now is the turning point to our future.
If we stand firm and steadfast now, our
success in the future is undoubted. If
we allow ourselves to be divided and dis
tracted now, reunion may never again
take place, and we must be vanquished,
for we must remember that there is not
that cohesive power within our organiza-
ton which the Democracy generally pos
sess. There is less party drill and more
independence of thought and action
though undoubtedly no less love for our
distinctive principles-with us than with
them.
We are clearly and emphatically in the
ascendancy in the county, and yet we
have constantly been ruled by bungling,
Inefficient, and dishonest locofoco polit-
cians-and we are again asked, without
the shadow of reason therefor, to per-
peluate the dynasty--to uphold the men
who have abused our principles, rejoiced
in our defeat, and opposed our own and
our county's interest. We have better
men in point of ability, honesty, and a
conscientious regard for duty, than the
men they offer us, and we feel assured
they will be placed in nomination. If
they are not it will be our own fault
Let full and true delegations from the
several townships be in attendance, and
let them come fully prepared to nomi-
nate men who will protect the county's
interests and obey her behests, regard
less Of dictation from corporations either
within or without the county-men who
have no private aims to further at the
public expcnse-men who are conscien-
tious and capable, and can command the
respect and support of our own party,
as well as the influence aud votes of the
dissatisfied of the opposite. These men
we have prominent in the party, and we
have full confidence in their being placed
in nomination,
