We earnestly call upon our Democratic
friends in this judicial district to take i'm
mediate steps to secure an efficient organ
'zation Of the party. BY the formation OF
clubs, the distribution Of the right kind Of
documents, ard the delivery of addresses
the issues involved in tie campaign will
become famiia. to the peop!e-their ener-
gies will be enlisted in behalf Of the r.ht
the lukewarm and wayering he strength.
ened-and the work performed which is to
redeem our State from the misrule Of Re
pubicansm.
Throughout the central and eastern por
tons of the State our friends are well or
ganized, and are working faithfully, with
the most cheering prospects of success
The advantages Of their thorough orcani
cation are hourly becoming more appar
ent. Scores are daily abandoning the
party that is laboring for the subiuEation
of the people and comforting upon Con.
gress that sovereignty which is the inal.
ienable prerogative Of freemen, and flock
ing around the standard Of the champion
OF Popular Sovereignty. Our cause is a
glorious one. We stand upon high. con.
sentative ground, and have fer our assai!-
ants the enemies of our country both North
and South. We are alike arrayed against
{Jo y
Congressional Intervention against slavery,
and the Southern extremists who claim
the same intervention in favor of slavery
neither having any regard for the wishes
Of the people directly interested. 1t is our
mission to defeat these fanatics, and vim
dicate and rerpetuate that inestimable
boon which our foreiathers acquired BY
the Revolutionary War-TnE SOVEREIGNTY

er emanates from the people---Congress is
their creature, for without their suflrages
it could not exist-hence it is the sheerest
folly to attempt to invest it with power
which it cannot exercise without subyert-
ing the fundamental principles of our gov
eminent.
Agains: the enemies Ct the people we
have to contend, and all that is necessary
to secure our triumph-not only in Iowa,
! but in every State in the Union--is to
present the facts, plainly and frankly, to
the people. They will sustain the right
To this end, we again urge upon our friends
to organize-form clabs-place in the
hands ofevery voter in your precinct some
good Democratic document-arouse the
indifferent, and see that no man goes to
the polls without full understanding of
the issues involved in the campaign. Do
not wait for strangers to come among you
TO take the initatory steps, but 20 to work
yourselves, and when you have effected
your organization, speakers and documents
will be forthcoming. Do this, aud the
victory is ours.

THE GREAT STEAMSHIP RACEs.-The subjoined
letter relating to the great steamship races between
the rival steamers North Star and Atlantic, we
clip from the New York Herald of yesterday:
AsPINwALL, Jan. 2, lS60.-The North Star ar
rived at her wharf in AspnwalI on the afternoon Of
the 9th ult, at $50, and the Atlantic at $50
The passengers by each ship crossed the Ishmus
early the following morning.
The arrival Of the North Star in advance of the
Atlantic created the liveest excitement in Aspin-
wall. The difference in time from New York a
distance of over 1900 miles, was only about ten
minutes.
On the evening of the first day out the Atlantic
passed the North Star, and left her out Of sight
long before midnight. Nothing was seen other until
the fifth day, when the North Star hove in sight off
Cape Maysi, aud passed the Atlantic about 2 /. NJ
From thence to AspinwaIl, about nine hundred
miles, the two ships did not lose sight of each
other.
Doubtless each did its BEST and officers, men and
passengers Joined in the excitement created by the
contest.
The North Star came in about eight miles
ahead
