largest influence upon the welfare OF our
party, it becomes necessary that We as an
organization, should pay particular atten-
ton the primary elections. The election
of the right kind of men as delegates will
at times give us majorities in conventions,
and through these majorities we should
succeed in nominating our candidates

will exert yourself to the utmost to elect
such men as delegates as the members of
the association shall direct. 1t shall be

In the proceedings of February 18th,

Woodyille in reference to THE REMOVAL OF
CHARLES Powers from the Post Office.
Powers is Douglas man.
On the 2lst Mr.. Botefur laid before the
Club matters relating 10 the of P. N. at
Clyde. Mr.. Bush is Douglas man and
has since been removed, and still persists in
getting subscribers for the Plain Dealer,
which cost him his official head. On the
25th of Feb, screw got loose, evidently.
In the minutes we find:
Resolced, That a committee of one be
appointed to confer with A. J. Dickinson
to obtain his influence in defeating the ap-
pointment of Mr. Gammelling as route agent

The eight article in their Constitution
reads:
ARTICLE S-SECRECY!
1t being expedient that all matters be-
longing to this Association BE KEPT FROM
THE PUBLIC EAR, therefore, it will be ex-
pected that the members will attend
the stated meetings, and that all matters
discussed therein will be done in fair and
candid manner, and that all such discussions,
togtber with all other matters pertaining
to the welfare of the Club, will be consid-
cred PRIVATE, and that no member will
speak of them outside of the Club room,
except to members.
The last meeting mentioned in this pam
phlet was June %, 1859, so that it was in
full blast when the pamphlet containing
the record of these Jacobinites broke from
its secret hiding place, since which several
persons whose names appear in it have
published cards repudiating the whole con-
cern. 1t would be SANDER to charge such
men as George Click and Jack Dickinson
with having any sympathy with the con-
cern, or one P. M. in twenty. Look out
for them and look out for further develop
ments. Thus the campaign opens, and
thus we commence the war against the
world, the flesh and-so FORTH.
