Organize.

We do not think tho Republicans of
. this County sufficiently appreciate the ne
cessity of town organization. In each of
the towns there should be political or
ganization and town committee, through
which it can act in concert with Other
towns. +..t,.a Ere sf,a
Such organizations are essential to the
strength of any party, and we hope they
may be perfected throughout the County,
and the names of the members of the va
rious town committees should be published
in the county papers, that all may know
whom to address on political matters.

IT will be seen that the County Con-
vcntion passed resolutions favorable to
the denomination of Hon. G.. G. Wash
burne to Congress. qoa
We hopehe may receive the nomina-
ton for the two reasons, that he is emf
nently qualified for it, and that, we be-
lieve he will poll a larger number of vo-
tcs than any other man in the district
Let any other candidate be brought up,
and there willnecessarily much of person
alitv enter into the canvas. Not so with
Mr. Washburne. His record is clear
No libelous stories can be trumpet up a.
gainst him. All personal attacks have
heretofore been met and answered With
him for our candidate, the battle will be
fought where we wish it to be, on the re-
speetiye principles of the two parties.

Met pursuant to notice. Was called to
order by DR.. Young. A. MORSE was
chosen Chairman, c. p. SARGENT 5ecre-

were chosen delegates to attend Assem-

resolutions were then adopted: p i'

ycntiou i T...r 3.u +. Eta# lrs
Voted to empower the delegates to send
proxies. Mr.. Sargent made motion to
instruct the County Committee in .rea-
tion to the basis Of representation in our
next County Convention. The motion
was lost. The subject was however dis
eusscd by different members of the Con
xention. DIR. Young claimed that each
town should be represented according to
the number of votes cast ut the last cleo
ton. Mr.. Morse was of the opinion that
each town should be entitled to two dele
gates. No action having been taken on
the subject, it viii dcvolve en- the County
COMMITTEE to FIX tho basis in the call for
the County Convention to nominate can
didates for county officers.
II the number of votes is to be the
oasis of representation, it should of course
bo the number of Republican voters, other
wise Democrats would gain representa-
1ion in Republican Convention. The
population of the several towns has mate
rislly changed within the last two years,
mud it would be quite impossible to deter
mine what the present Republican vote
is. Besides, in the new towns formed,
nothing is known in relation to the vote.
IF we would keep political organizations
alive in new or small towns. we must give
shem 3 chance in onr County Copven-
tons They have but little chance at the
polls, and fthey are allowed no more in
proportion in conventions, it will be inn
possible to fetain their strength. And
shen, as body polite, they have an
equal interest III county affairs. Pleasant
Valley and Martell, for Instance, pay a
heavy county tax-one Of them the lar
gess Of any town in the county; hence,
although they May have but few votes.
they are entitled TO a fair representation.

THERE appears to be general regret
among the Republican papers at the de-
feat of Blair The N. Y. Tribune, in
commenting upon the subject, says: Mr..
Blair is still in the vigor of early man
hood, able, earnest and fearless; and this
defeat is but an incident in what promises
to be long and bright career. 1t will
give him clearer and deeper knowlel ge
Of the dark power whose hostility he has
provoked, and which will never more for
get him, even though he should betempted
to forget himself No true path lies en-
tirely through sunshine greatness is ripen-
ed amid difficulty, discouragement and
disaster. Happily, time in this case is
clearly on the side Of the right. A heavy
emigration is now pouring into Missouri,
buying lands in the confident expectation
of a rapid rise in their value, to which en-
hanccment the disappearance Of Slavery
is indispensable. st. Louis itself is ra-
pidly growing in industry and trade; and
the increase of its business is ali created
and controlled by free labor. Slaves are
disappearing from the entire northen half
Of the State; free labor is quietly but ire
vocably supplanting them. Mr.. Blair will
will return to Congress, and st. Louis
will proudly claim him as her representa-
tive. Faith, patience, energy, will yet re
place the wrong by the right. This re-
verse is but morning cloud, which post
pones but cannot prevent the coming of
perfect day. 1aT SKA

The contractor was to have been in Hud-

600, and will not get through there until
about the 18th. We shall look for him
here about the goth of this month. He
has already made his arrangements with
the Scranton Iron Works, for the iron for
the first 90 miles, and has purchased
large amount of groceries and provisions
for his men, which he will soon forward
on. The action of the Governor has
frightened our New York men, and de-
tanned matters considerable, but I think
they are getting over that. The work
will be fairly commenced by the first of

A HARD HIT AT BOGUS Democracy

A HARD HIT AT BOGUS DEMocRAcY.--
John Mitchell, though regular Demo-
cratic gun, sometimes makes an effective
shot into his own camp. In late num-
Der of his paper he says:
"We shall say, in plain English, that
the National Democracy is and must be
a power created and held together, not
by any principle Of action, but solely and
entirely by money, by the expectation
and smell of money, by the tradition and
tender "reminiscences Of money-and that
its sole use is to cover over and conceal a
rent that yawns and shall yawn eternally.
This being the case, the question arises,
Does it pay at eighty millions? And if
yes, then whom does it pay, and who
pays it!"
