cannot work effectually we will be beaten
Men must be put in possession of what w
advocate--they must have the facts con
stantly before them, il we expect large &C
cessions to our party. The coming cam
pa:gn must be one of work-contiauous
active work. When We consider the dis
union sentiments svowed by one section
and left unrebuked by another section Of
the Democratic party--the miscoHstructior
given to the Federal Constitution by tha
party-the corruptions, profigacies and
usurpations of the General Government
the wanton extravagance and dishones,
peculstions of this State Government-the
disrepute the Democratic party is seeking
to throw around free labor--the aggres.
sions of Southern slave institutions upon
Northern free labor, aud the instability OF
the affairs of the General and State Gov
ernments, under Democratic administra.
tions, we are impressed with the belief,
that when these things are fully kuown
and understood BY the people. a whirl
wind Of virtuous indignation will sweep
this corrupt disunion party forever from
power But to effect this with a certAin-
ty. We must have thorough organization
AN organization, too. where all who are
opposed to the Democratic party may be
properly represented. "There must be
kindly feelings aud a concilistory policy
towards those who have hsretofors been
separated from as. rather by diversity Of
organization. or Of personal preference.
than by radical antsgonism OF ideas and
purposes" Each organization should as
sist 10 the formation of others. Men who
are active, JEALOUS. determined, should be
selected as officers. When our county aud
this Congressional District are thus organ.

understand fully and clearly, the great
doctrines Of the Republican party We
are satisfied that our friends have not yet
fully understood the va,ue of good docu
ments seas"nably circulated. Aud not on

litical friends, but the bread Of life should
be broken TO our political enemies, also.
We do verify believe that if one such
speech as that Of %. P. Morton, in which
the great doctrines of the Republican par

with regard to the sale of the public lands
such as Lincoln's, Stewards, Schurz and
Lanes great speeches, were put 10 the
hands of every voter, triumph unparal

try would await the Republican party next
November. Let the people take these
speeches to their fresidss and read them
here. Take them down from the shelf on
niny days and peruse them, study them
and see If the doctrines advocated arc not

to be the man, the warm supporters OF the

will not advocate his election with any
