commenced in earnest.
The Ohio Statesman exhorts the Demo
Gratis to give heed to the township elections
to be held early in April, and shows the
Importance to the party of entering and
taking possession of the political field early
in the contest to close in November Let
the note Of preparation also reach the ears
of all Republicans. Would they reap in
autumn, they must put in the seed in the
spring. They must organize carly, work
earnestly, unitedly, and efficiently, and
good majorities will follow as certainly as
seed time and harvest. Rouse up at once,
Republicans of Sandusky county, and pre-
pare for the April skirmish. Of itself the
township election may not be of great i'm
portance-but its influence and bearing on
the State and National contests to follow
should be kept steadily in view.
The organization of Republican town
ship and District Clubs should not be neg
lected In Union there is strength, and the
bundle of sticks forms q club not easily
broken. This is the Presidential year, and
wherever Republicans have the power it is
important that they turn out and elect
competent, intelligent board Of township
trustees. In a majority Of the townships
of this county, they can do so, if actuated
by proper spirit. Full tickets should be
fairly nominated, and supported without a
split. The abandonment of regular nomi-
nees for irregulars or Democrats, is sure to
retard the Republican cause, and give aid
and comfort to the enemy. Attend prima-
ry meetings, select good men for candidates,
and stick to them like brothers.
Organization and thorough canvass
this Spring will tell surprisingly in October
and November. The Republicans of Chi
cago attribute their proud victory TO organ
ization and we'll directed efforts. The Re-
publicans of New York have swept every
town meeting in such counties as st. Law
renee, Cayuga, ETC., by organization and
work. The Republicans of the Granite
State have buried the pro-slavery Democ-
racy under an avalanche of votes by reso-
lutely organizing and cauvassing every part
of the State The Republican State Com
mittee early set the ball in motion, and aid
ed by the various organizations so complete
! was the canvass of the State that the polit-
ical views of the people were known with
almost the same certainty before as after an
expression through the ballot box. This
thorough canvass and organization gave di-
rection to efforts where most needed, and
the result is Republican victory in New
Hampshire every way worthy of good
cause and an intelligent, free People.
Republicans of Sandusky county! Now
is the very time to take hold-to place in
your undecided neighbor's hand sound doc
uments-to engage his attention with Re-
publican newspapers-to invite him to at
tend Club meetings-to prepare for the
coming eections-and to lay the sure foun-
dation for the triumph of the Right in
Township, County, State, and Union.

Green Creek Republican Club.
A number of the Republicans of Green
Creek township, met at the Office of A.
Fem, Esq, in Clyde, on Saturday evening,
18th inst, for the purpose of organizing for
the coming campaign. A. FEM was called
to the chair, and Chas. Durham elected
Secretary. The object of the meeting was
stated by G. G. Eaton, and the necessity
of thorough organization urged upon all
> who were desirous of securing a victory,
both at the Spring election, and also in the
great contest in November. A committee
of three were appointed by the chair, to
report to the meeting permanent officers Of
the Club. In short time theyreported as
follows:
President-C. G. EATON;
Vice Presidents-J. NJ JOHNSON,
4" SAMUEL SMITH,
4" ADRIAN VAN DoREN;
Secretaries-WM. E. GRAY,
JAS. A. WATRoUs;
Treasurer. B. w. STARK
And on motion they were unanimously
elected.
Remarks we're made by several Republi
cans to the effect that it was necessary that
they should go to work earnestly, and they
resolved to do so. We have no doubt they
will give Democracy in Green Creek sound
, drubbing on the first Monday of April, and
follow it up with whereas, in the Fall.
The club then adjourned to meet at the
Office of Esq. Fem, on Friday evening, the
5 goth, in township caucus for the purpose o
: nominating township officers.
. We hope every township in the county
will Immediately initiate the example o
the Republicans of Green Creek, and or
ganize live, working club that shall no
cease to work until after the Presidential
=, contest has been fought and won.
