PREPARE FOR THE FALL ELECTIONS.

The National Republican Association desire
to call the attention of the opponents of the
present Administration to the importance of a
thorough and systematic circulation and distri-
button of tracts, speeches, and essays, bearing
upon the important questions now sgitating the
country.
With this view, they have issued, ara will
continue to publish, from time TO time, the mogt
important speeches which have beeu and shall
be delivered or written.
We trust that all who ara interested in de-
feating the Pro Slavery or Administration Party
in the approaching fall elections, will purchase
these documents for gratuitous circulation
among their friends and neighbors. The Asso-
citation are appealed to for documents for gratu.
itous circulation to an extent far beyond their
means. Under these circumstances, and as
Congress is about to adjourn we appeal to the
friends of the ausethroughoutthe several States
to take this work upon themselves, and see that
their several localities are fully supplied with
the proper kind of documents. Heretofore, this
work has been done by the Members of Con-
gress at their own expense but after the ad-
journment of Congress this responsibility will
devolve upon other friends of the cause
The very low price at which these docume nts
are furnished, which is much leEs than the cost
of publishing and envelopiug, owing 10 the fact
that the Association is conducted solely on the
voluntary principle, puts it within the reach OF
every one to aid in their distribution
