ORGANIZATIONS OF TuE CAxrAIoS.-Tbe eI-
tract below from the N. Y. Tribuns was pub
lshed early In the Fremont campaign. Il 10
worth notice now BY those who propose taking
an active part In the coming canvass. In adj
ton 10 these recommendations which are valu-
able. VIC think that where meetings are sdver-
tised and people on tip-toe, and tho original
speakers promised do not come, Il Is better to
90 on with the meeting, and let the imprompiu
interest be expended, rather than disappoint
crowd.
The interest In the canvas also, Il should DO
remembered, 10 not merely In the city, large
town where most Of the meetings usually take
place. The enthusiasm spread, into the neigh
borhood, so that even II q special location IL
felt to be perfectly safe for given candidate
no pains should be spared to make the fact APP
parent, -cIsmple Is everything. The following
Is the extract referred to:
FIRST. do not postpone your meetings until
near the close OF the campaign. Speakers are
more readily obtained and more actual elect Is
produced In September than In October.
Second. let town Committees always endeavor
to save time BY. arranging the organization OF
their meetings In advance.
Third, post handbills In conspicuous situa-
tons notifying meetings; never trust to oral
notice; II that precaution Is not taken, speakers
will often arrive and find only score to hear
them, especially where the population is scat
tered.
"Pourth, great mass meetings, addressed by
numerous speakers, seldom do much towards
retaining the lost. Town and village meetings
are more apt to be attended by members Of the
opposite party.
'"Fifth, II possible secure singers for your
meetings, and always invite the ladies to DO
present."

sustained Mr.. Fillmore in the Presidential can
vass of 1885, speaks as follows Of Mr.. Lincoln :
His career in Congress was "distingushed alike
f,r the ability and amenity which he brought
to the discharge Of his duties" and that he Is
justly entitled, by his private worth and ap.
proved ability, to wear with dignity any honor
his friends may coafer upon him.

GAS to Mr.. Douglas, his friends having

squads of half grown boys SO block up the
passage ways often that gentlemen and
ladies for the sake of peace are oblig-
ed to get ont in the cutters, when the
streets are very disagrecable, and slip by
in that way. Again it is complained
that drunken people come staggering
along, hopping and howling-and often
times pounding on the store doors and
even the private doors, either through
Inconsistencies of what they are about
or out of deyilish design.
These are specimens of the complaints
that are brought to our attention. and to
which we are asked again and again to
call the notice of those whose province it
is to supply remedy. We are in hopes
that this allusion to these grievances will
be all sufficient. We have no desire to
be made the ungracious commentator upon
them-but yet we know that, as journal
lists, we owe the duty to the public, and
that it does not become us to be impro-
perly cautious as to when and how we
advert to. these complaints We trust,
we say, that one notice of this character
will donw1y with all cause of complaint.

NEW York, Feb. 24.--The TFibHHe's
Washington correspondence says that the
revenue for the month ending Dec 3lst,
exceeds by s., 238, 900 the same period last
year. The increase Mt New York for jan
uary and February authorizes the belief
that Secretary Cobbs estimate of $780,
900, 900 for the present year will be fully
sustained and perhaps exceeded, if the i'm
ports continue to crowd in as they have
recently.
The amount subject to draft in the treas
ury is $50, 900 900; besides this sum the
Secretary has at his disposal about ST.
100000 of treasury notes capable OF re-
issue. These notes will cover the Post
Office liabilities of the last two quarters,
whenever required by that department,
leaving the other balance for ordinary
purposes.
No orders have been issued by the War
Department for any increment of troops
in New Mexico and Chihuahua to redress
the alleged outrages upon our citizens, and
no official information has been received
to justify so serious a step.
The committee on Elections heard the
closing argument from Mr.. Sickles, to-day,
who submitted a printed brief.
Mr.. Williamson was present and correct
ed come statements of fact concerning the
placed in wrong boxes. He will be heard
in rejOinder.
The HerGLFs correspondence says the
committee appointed by the Democratic
Senatorial caucus, have agreed upon a set
of resolutions, which will be reported to
the caucus called for Saturday next. 1t is
understood that they combine the princi-
Piles contained in the two sets of resolu-
lions introduced by Messrs. Davis and
Brown, of Miss. They will undoubtedly
give rise to considerable debate in caucus
and it is doubtful whether they will be
adopted, as many of the Senators are OPP
posed to any snch action The committee
do not consider them as a guide for plat
form to be adopted at Charleston, but
simply to harmonic the conflicting views
of Democratic Senators upon the several
sets of resolutions under consideration by
the Senate.
The Senate Post Office committee met

THE closing years of life are often rem
dered wretched by ailments which are
trifling in themselves and are easily cured
if taken in time. Affection of the liver,
stomach, and other organs concerned in
digestion, are the most frequent. They
naturally make the sufferer nervous, ira
table and complaining, and relative and
friends are forced to bear the brunt of
their ill-humor. The use of Hostetter's
Celebrated Stomach Bitters will prove an
efficient remedy for this evil, it will not
only strengthen the whole physical organ
ization, but entirely cure the most obsti-
nate case of indigestion, DiarrhGa, Dys-
entery, and Liver Complaint. The first
physicians in the country are loud in
their praise of this preparation. Another
recommendation of the Bitters is that it
is so palatable to the taste that it may be
used as beverage. Sold by all druggists.

Deu1DIleoD Convenlio1.

HARnIsBuRs, Feb. a3-The resolutions
adopted by the Convention declare that
the Administration, by dfSregHFdtng the
claims of the industrial interests, aud tOs-
tering sectional excitement and the rank
est corruption, has disgTaeed the rePbuli-
can Institutions, and deserves a signal
rebuke from the friends OF constitutional
order. That, believing slavery to be an
element of political weakness, we are
unalterably opposed TO its extension to
free territories; that the dogma that the
Constitution carries slavery into the terri
tories, is q new political hereSy subSeF-
sive Of peace and harmony; that the
rights of the States must be sustained in
violate; that the laWless invasion of the
soil of any State or Territory, IS a grave
crime; that the Opposition party does not
seek the abolition Of slavery where il now
exists, but leaves its ameHoFatiOn aud hlti-
mate abandonment to the moral and re-
ligious forces pertaining to the slave
holding communities, assured Of the hnaI
prevalence of Justice throughout all the
land; that the threat of disuniOn by the
Democratic members Of Congress, Is
bold avowal of contemplated treason,
which it is the imperative duty of the PeO-
pie to strongly confront and forever Sd
lcncc; that while opposed TO the extension
Of slavery, we hail the people of the South
as brethren, rejoicing in their prosperity,
and that we are prepared 70 sustain their
constitutional rights aud privileges
The resolutions also approve OF home
stead law, and provide for the purity Of
the ballot box and the prevention OF
frauds on the naturalization law
