OTEa MIZatiOlI.

The chief element of success. in q polil
ical campaign, is organization-with it, we
may achieve triumph; without it, we are
doomed to an inglorious defeat. Heretofore,
though generally pretty we'll organized, we
have consoled each other after the election
BY saying, "Ah! if we had been better or
ganized we might have done better; next
year we must take measures to get our
whole vote out and we will make better
showing" Now, if our friends are really
sincere in this the quicker they get about it
the better. II want Of thorough organi.
zation is an obstacle to political ascendency
now ia the time to remove it. We hope the
members of the Central Committee will take
the matter in charge and see that their re-.
spective townships are thoroughly canvass.
cd, 90 that our strength may be known and
an entire vote brought to the polls. There
never was better ticket presented to the
peuple OF this county, than the one which
now heads our paper, and we should be
false to every principle of honor, if, through
negligence on our part, it is defeated. The
tight of suffrage is guaranteed to all, and the
man who refuses to exercise it, fails to do
The duty he owes to his fellow citizens.

Encounter with "a Bear.

About dusk on Wednesday evening of last
week Mr.. John Wilson, Of this place, took
his pet bear down to the creek to swim, and
when about 10 return home, his bearshp
managed 10 slip his head through the collar
and ran off. Mr.. Wilson, deeming it useless
to pursue him, Immediately returned home.
Shortly afterward, however, the bear was
also found TO have returned, taking quarters
in the COW house, from whence Mr.. w. en-.
deavored to dislodge and cage him but the
bear, concluding to cut some die does, again
made off, but was this time pursued by large
crowd of men and dogs, who succeeded 10
heading him near the residence of Mr.. Rob.
ert Robinson, when Bruin took the back
track and paid the Presbyterian church (the
doors thereof being open) flying visit
After surveying the interior OF that edifice,
and making an unceremonious exit through
one OF the windows, he was completely sur.
rounced by the crowd, and seized hold of by
Mr.. J. w., when a fierce encounter ensued,
during which Mr.. w. sustained severe iniu
ries by the bear biting him on the hands, arms
and leg. Mr.. Joseph Wilson, in endesvor.

The New York Press.

The New York Journal of Commerce
complains that many of the papers Of that
lity are Sin the frequent, if not constant,
habit of publishing letters from their own
corresponds containing statements des.
'itute of even a semblance of truth, and in.
.erted for the purpose of having something
IN the way OF sensation news with which
to startle the public" But the editor goes
further, and says: "If we should avow our
belief that much Of this correspondence is
pritten at home, instead of the places where
1t bears date, probably we should not be
sery wide Of the facts" 1t is we'll that
country readers should understand some OF

The Presidential Question.

The Boston Herald, an able Democratic
paper from which we have frequently quo.
ted with appreciation, furnishes in almost
every number something which should be
read by every member OF tho Democratic
party. or that character is the following
brief but sound and pertinent article, we
take from recent number:
"The South will be made to see clearly
what some OF its politicians now behold as
through glass darkly, that the Democratic
party hos not the ghost Of chance of sue.
cess upon any other platform than that OF
non-intervention with slavery in the Terri
tories. The masses of the people of the
South are coming right upon this question,
and their politicians will soon learn that il
is better, instead OF quarreling about ab.
stractions, TO go to work and secure the tri-
umph Of the National Democratic party.
"The Democrats of the North are deeply
convinced that they can not possibly elect
a President If the party should, through the
National Convention support the doctrine
Of slavery protection, by Congress, in the
Territories. With such a platform they
could not carry single New. Eng land State
and in the Western and North Western.
States. end in fact, throughout the North.
they would be defeated. They will feel
bound TO ask in the Charleston Convention
that q platform be constructed upon the
basis of popular sovereignty and non. inter.
vention, first, because II 10 right, and, sec.
ondly, because this alone will save the
country from the pernicious agitation of the
slavery question, and save the Democratic
party from defeat.
"Ii the Democracy plant themselves upon
the constitutional principles Of popular sov.
