Scripture Dick for s.lsreck.r

{ scripture Dick for eslSreCk."
D. s. Dickinson made furious speech 70,
Breckinridge, at New York city, few days
since. He was very happy in his description
of the two tickets of the Democracy. He
calls the Douglasites political gamblers, who
hang fostering upon the lobbies of State and
Federal Legislation, to purchase charted
privilege and immunity by corrupt appliances
who thrive in its fetid atmosphere, and
swell to obese proportions like vu!tures upon
offal; Office breakers, who crawl and cringe
around the footsteps of power, and, by false
pretenses, procure themselves, or vile tools,
places Of official trust and emolument, that
they may pack and control caucusesy and
conventions at the expense Of the people they
defraud and betray, while honest men are
engaged in industrial avocations to earn their
bread" As if this was not enough, he
addresses these gentry more directly as
follows: y .-,,s toss gra4H
"Political gamblers! you have perpetrated
your last cheat -consummated your last fraud
upon the Democratic party, for you will never
again be trusted. Henceforth, you will be
held and treated as political outlaws, and set
at defiance. There is no fox so crafty but his
hide finally goes to the hatters. You will
hang upon its skirts to regain power, and lie
in ambush for revenge, but as an open enemy
you are powerless, and are only dangerous to
those who trust you. With parties, and
especially clques, who betray trusts and
abuse power, as with individuals, there is
day of reckoning and retribution, and yours
is at hand:
"'For time at last sets all things even,
And if we do but watch the hour,
There never yet was human power
Who could evade, if unforgiven,
The patient search and vigil long
Of him who treasures up wrong"
Of the regularity" of the nominations he
says: .-....
"The regular President of the Convention,
Gen. Cushing, left his chair and went away,
and presided over the Convention which
nominated Breckenridge and Lane; so that
the regularity of the nomination of Douglas
and johnson may be summed up in this that
Mr.. johnson was not and has not yet been
nominated by any Convention - that Mr..
Douglas was nominated by delegates Of an
irregular, fractional, broken up Convention
without head-without Democratic body,
but mere skeleton, half Soft, half Repub-
lcan State delegations, and bogus tall
"No one preterds that the nominations OF
Breckenridge and Lane have the authority of
a regular National Convention, according to
the usages of the party. But they have more
claim to regularity than the other. This
Convention had head in the President of the |
whole Convention. 1t had a Democratic
body IN the regular delegations from all the
sure Democratic States a majority of the
States of the Union; it had no bogus |
and it had platform of manly
of liberty, equality and fraternity
upon which every true Democrat Of the
whole Union can meet together"

then, forthw with-before another day ends
hear of you visiting your neighbors and calling
meeting to form Club. No matter If only
three persons attend that is enough--one foI
President, one for Secretary, and one to vote.
1t is not probable that you will need separate
officer for Treasurer. What you want to do
is just thrcefold:
1st. Appoints committee of one--an active,
influential man-to 60 around Immediately
and collect ten or twenty dollars, or five or
fifteen, and send it on Immediately for a
complete list of the best campaign documents.
When they come, let this committee circulate
them broadcast. The quickest and best way
will be to send the money to the President Of
the Republican Working Club Of this city,
Mr.. Carskaddan, or to the Secretary, Mr..
Washburn, who will Immediately furnish you
with the documents, for less than the Club
pay for them.
I'd. Appoint committee of three good,
working, energetic men to canvass the town.
ship, and make complete list of all the voters
and their politics, CHASING them Lincoln, Bell,
Breckinridge and Houston, and you may ado
Gerrit Smith and Douglas, if you can find
any persons who will vote those tickets.
Sd. Get every Republican - man, woman
and child i'll your township interested in the
Grand Encampment to be held after harvest,
or in the fall some time, somewhere in the
the county. Get every family to bake bread
and cakes, and roast some chickens, etcetera ;
every young lady to help get up flag for the
township, and make ribbons and all such nice
things for the boys; and every man to get a
wide-awake cap and cape, and make torch
if he can, and then have them all ready-men
and women, boys ard girls - to jump into
two-horse wagons with their baskets, flags,
&C., on the day Of the Encampment, and join
their sellow.citizens from all parts of the
county in a big Republican camp meeting.
When we get together, gentlemen, in that
meeting, if we don't make our brother Dem
ocrats in this county hear thunder, it will be
because they are deaf. [Our "devi" suggests
that mourners' benches be prepared fol
penitent Democrats.
We call attention to the well.written and
earnest communications on this subject from
Seventy-Six, Sweetland and Wapsinonoc, thai
have appeared in our columns.
Another thing, gentlemen, and we will clos'
this lecture. We earnestly exhort the Repub
licans in all the Townships to look to th'
election of supervisors. Our friends OF Pike
Wapsinonoc, Goshen, Cedar, Bloomington,
Wilton, Sweetland and Montpelier, we believe
intend making party nominations for tha
Office, and we think that they are right. Cal
your township Conventions, gentlemen, ant
make regular nominations for supervisors
and elect them. We e,oant a Republican Boart
Of Supervisors, this time. We are entitled t.
it. The interests of the county demand it
and you will be derelict to your duty if 20,
do not elect one.
