ORGAyIzAr1oN.-The Richmond Wing,
very properly and earnestly calls upon the
friends of Mr.. GoGGIS to organize thorough
ly, and effectually in every county in the
State, and to continue that organization
without diminution of zeal, up to the day of
the election. This call should be cheerfully
and heartily responded to, and the appeal
answered without dissenting voice. This
is due to the candidate, to the cause, and
the Importance of the occasion. If there is
to be national, conservative opposition to
the dominant party, opposed to the misgov-
ernment, the errors, aud the course aud pol
icy Of the present administration in many
particulars, as well as to the principles, de-
signs and purposes of the Black Republi-
cans and agitators of the North, built up in
the country, now is the time, and Virginia
is the State, for the commencement and sue
cessful prosecution of the patriotic purpose.
In every State of the Union, conservative
men are looking with the deepest interest to
the struggle now going on here-not so
much regarding victory, in first engage
ment-ss they are interested in the strength
to be exhibited, and the determination shown
to contend manfully against heavy odds,
and if not to win a triumph, to deserve flu
ture success, and to place it within the reach
of spirited exertion. Nor, notwithstanding
the immense boasting on the other side is
victory itself even now unattainablc. Twice,
before, in great political contests, and when
the strength of the Wings was as much deri-
ded, as it is now, has united charge upon
the serried ranks of our confident opponents,
resulted in nearly equally dividing the pop
ular vote. What has been accomplished,
may be effected again. Let us, at least, try.
The consciousness of duty performed will,
ofitself, be worth all the trouble and toll, of
the campaign. Will the election of Mr..
Goggin rebound to the best interests Of the
State, and to the political welfare of the
country? That is the question. We hon.
estly believe it willard all who think so,
ought to exert themselves, and to organize
and aid in his election.

The Legislature of New Jersey adjourned

The Legislature of New Jersey adjourned
siae die at midnight on Wednesday. The
majority of the Senate being Democrats. and
of different politics from the Governor, they
would not agree to the appointment OF
State Chancellor, to succeed the present in
cumbent, whose term of office has expired.
For this high station the Governor had made
two or three nominations, which the Senate
rejected, and on the last day Of the session
the Governor submitted the names of nine
leading members of the bar, accompanied by
communication stating that he would cheer
fully appoint either one of these who might
be acceptable to the Senate. The Senate
was inAexible, and adjourned without MAX
ing any appointment. The Court of Chan
cery, it is said, will therefore be closed
Some other State Offices were left vacant, the
Democrats contending that if new appoint
ments were not made, the present incum-
bents would hold over.

A large auditory in New York. on the 9th

animated Wing speech, from Ex-Governor
Washington Hunt. The discourse was on
the Political Signs of the Tines Hiram
Ketchum, ESQ.,, presided, and there were
twenty-five Vice Presidents, headed by the
Hon. Luther Bradish, Hon. George Briggs,
Shepherd Knapp, and John B. Webb. In
opening the meeting, Mr.. Ketchum made
some very happy and appropriate remarks
stating that Mr.. Hunt had been six years in
Congress-, Comptroller of the State, and Gov
ernor, all by Wing votes. 1t had been said
remarked Mr.. Ketchum) that the Wing
party is dead. That remains to be seen. If
the exigencies of the times demand it, 1t will
come forth, not bound in grave clothes, but
like giant refreshed from sleep. MIR. Hunt
reviewed with great ability late political
events, deprecated sectionalism, and pointed
out the resl wants of the country. "W hat
the country needs (said MIR. IL. is not Il
Northern nor a Southern, but National
Administration, which will restore tranquil
ity, bv holding the reins of Government with
an even hand, respecting the rights Of all
sections, and encroaching upon none Give
us an Executive who will confine himself to
his constitutional sphere of duty. who will
be actuated by spirit Of wise moderation,
and who honestly desires to revive sentiments
of affection and goodwill between the States,
and. ignoring all geographical distinctions,
will regard himself az the chosen guardian
of the rights of the whole Union and the
welfare of the whole American people

sooner had my Schnapps been introduced to the

than the liquormixers of New York, Boston and

several instances my labels have been so per-
fecty initiated, with only the addition of few
letters, to plead technical avoidance of the law,
