THK WAY TO DO 1T.

By.aDd by, when Messrs. Dean hlcutuOnu auu
Jaues Brooks, Washington Hunt and Peter Gag
ger, Isalsh Rynders and Daniel d. Barnard shall
have brought their somewhat piebald forces into
line, and shall be making their last desperate
charge Oh the Lincoln phalanx, we shall have good
men In abundance willing to work aud give for the
Republican cause. Then We shall have mass meet
ings, and snOw-sto m of documents, and organ
lzstion, costing ten times the labor and expense
that would produce the same result if put forth
to-day. We shall doubtless do enough to elect
Lincoln and Halnn; but that is not sufficient.
We absolutely need to elect Congress that will
heartily second their efforts to reform aud purify
the Federal Executive, restore soyency to the
Matt ,oal Finances, and benefcsnce to the whole
action of the Government. We want Congress
through whose cooperation the next President
may uphold and advance the rights and interests
of Free Labor without qualification or cOmpro.
mise. Such Congress may be secured; but only
through effort and sacrifice; and now is the ia
vcrn time.
The first thing to be done is to DIFFUSE INFOR-
NATION. This mas not yet been halt done nor pro-
vided for. There are One Million Voters in the
Free States day whose little all of knowledge of
our PriI cples and our Candidates is derived from
the representations of our aoversaIies And when
journals printed in this focus of intelligence and
pretending to character venture to speak frequently
OF Wendell Phillips as Republican and to class
our btterest and most implacable adversaries, the
GarIisonian Abulltiopsts, among the supporters of
Lincoln, 1t not easy to exaegerate the abysses of
ialsebOOd to which their echoes in more secluded
localities will dive. We, for example, are well
sured that orators traversng Pennsylvania, in os-
teDsible advocacy of Bell and Everett do not hest
tate 10 assure rural audiences that the Editor of
THE TRIBUNE supported Bunsy against Clay in
lo44 with any quantity more of assertions just as
truthful. An AbOlit Ouist Convention is about to
bring out ticket 10 hostility to Lincoln, " the
" slave-houDd of Illinois; while the great cities
are to be frightened out of their wits by phantas.
Dsgoria of old John Brown and Ex.Gov. Wise,
laying their well-matched heads together to plot
dissolution of the Union. We shall have all man.
Der of blue fire and Chinese masks aud tom toms
brought to bear upon us ere long, and it is our
pressing duty to so erGghteu and fortify the public
mild as to render them harmless. And now is the
suspicious time.
Republicans of every State, County, Township,
Election District We mean you! You should
each have your we'll known headquarters, estab
shed forthwith, if not already, open at all season
able hours and well supplied with the most con-
vinciig documents. There should be at least One
Million copies of cheap Life of Lincoln put 10
circulation at once. There are thousands of
the young, The Indifferent, the i'll Informed, the
secluded, who do not yet know Abraham Lincoln,
and have only to know to like and support him.
You are sadly remiss, brother Republicans! Iif
you have not some cheap Life of Lincoln already in
tie haLds of every voter in your township
who will read it. If you have neglected this till
now, We pray you to neglect it 10 longer, but get
together dozen of youand order enough to supply
your Ward or Township at once. Do not waste
another week.
One Of The best documents for those who have
time to read deliberately, is LINCOLN AND DOUG
LASS ILLINOIS DISCUSSIONS in 1858. As we
have no interest in publishing this, we Gao more
freely urge its general diffusion. 1t is too large
for gratuitous and general circulation, but every
Lincoln Club should have two or three copies, to
be lent to all who will read and promptly return
them. II only to let it be seen that We like to
difiuse the strongest arguments on both sides, as
presented to the public by the chosen champion of
each, the circulation of this work will do great
good. Bear ia mind that only Republicans are en-
gag, in this work. TO, while Mr.. Douglas has
published some criticisms on this edliOn-yery
paltry and captous criticisms they seem to us
ZONE OF his partssns have seen fit to put forth an
edition alter their own heart. Why not Mr.
Douglas is the most effective caDvasser Of his party
