TO CORRESPONDENTS,
Organize tor the struggle.

Oughv for the mOmentOus struggle before them There
is no use it saws in waiting till the last be-

the peace Of the country is worth struggling for at all
is worth that struggle now Heretofore the Democracy
have been omnpotent and maintain their power and
bind The South their interests they have kept the slave
~ question in form or another in constant agit-
ton. BY assuming be the peculiar friends Of Southern
institutions they have msed thousands Of conservative
men into aiiation with their party BY the distribution
OF ooh patronage they have bought hundreds Ola
png men, who could seee prospect Of political prefer
outside Ofthe Democratic party But uotwithstand.
log the overwhelming power Of the Democracy notwith
standing that an the hOnOrs and profits Of both
State and Federal Offices we're exclusively in the hands
aud at the disposal Of that party and notwithstanding
the fact that here in Virginia, by arbitrary exercise
Of power in gerrymanderng the State ior eighteen or
twenty wears nearly half Of the citizens Of Virginia
have been prescribed from all participation in public af
fairs and without solitary voice to represent their in
terests in the national Congress and although numbers
whose fidelity relied with mistaken confidence
have basey deserted the Wing ranks that they might
reap the rewards Of their treason by securing Office and
'plundsr-nOtwithstanding all these causes have been
operating against US the old Wing standard has never
been lowered, but amid defeat and disaster, amid

To-day when the Democracy is broken into fragments
all at war with each other what cannot these seventy
thousand Wings accomplish, Organize forthwith Don't

with hope we have never had before the confidence OF
certain triumph et the glorious old standard again be
flung the breeze and thousands Of pure and patriotic
Democrats disguised with the sectional aims Of their own
party will gladly leave its mutnous ranks to unite with
"a in swelling the triumph Of the Union the Constitution
and he Laws Give the dsorgauizej and disorganizrg
leaders Of betrayed party time TO rally. Close in

The cry Of "no chance" which has ever been rung
in our ears TO queueh enthusiasm and playzs our
energies and thus bring defeat upon US when victory

The Union Cause BriThtenIng.
We heartily agree in the opinion expressed by our
able contemporary Of the Savannah R,yuJlca that the
