Organization.

1t Is quite surely known to most we'll
informed persons, that the democrats are
perfecting the organization of their party
in the most energetic manner. The
process of organization is going on quiet
IL but surely and effectively Their
leaders have great confidence in their
n ility to elect their State ticket this
fall, and are working hard to realize their
hopes. Their success at the October e.
lection would indicate to certainty,
their success at the November election
they are predicating their success on the
fact. that so large number Of [ Mon
men have Joined the army, as TO give
them the preponderance in numbers in
the Fall elections. The Union men
must bear this fact in mind. organize
thoroughly, and fight persistently for sue
cess If they do not do so. their defeat
is reduced to an absolute certainty
They must organize, everywhere, in the
best possible manner. nominate the best
men for office, and work peTsistently for
their election. A few of our hes. men
are over sanguine OF success, and do not
consider that seven out of every ten men
who have joined the army during the past
year, were m mbers OF the Union organ
ization. This fact alone should admon-
ish them of the perils before them. It
is idle, and wrong. for the Union men to
attempt to conceal the situation Of affairs
and give out, that there Is no danger of
their defeat this Fall. There is a ne
cessity for action on their part: prompt,
decided action The canvass is certainly
the most important which has ever occur-
red in the history of the Government
Every man who considers the Situation
of affairs must admit this fact Hence

CONDITIONAL JUsTICE to
the True (Julian) Republican, an inter
view was had between its editor and c. en-
Meredith recently, in regard to the ava
lanche of lies and SANDERS published
by the former in his sheet against the
latter. In giving an account of that
interview, the editor stipulates that If
Gen. Meredith will cease being candi-
date against brother George and let
him have clear track he, the editor,
will take back all the Islander and false
hood he has published against Gen. NJ,
otherwise. he promises to become ten
times more the child Of the devil" than
he has yet been, (if possible.) by pro
crossing from perfection to perfection in
the art perpetuative of the extreme course
of the vile liar and base slanderer-not
only to affirm that all he had published
against Gen. NJ was true, but to endeavor
to out lie the Father of liars, in order to
blast the fair fame of brave and valiant
soldier. This is the Julian "style" of
conditional justice,

Julian fairly begged. He is one of the
Knights of the Sorrowful Countenance, and
the sorrow came out in great drops of sweat.
He won't want the Thompsonian practice
fer years! But the climax came when
quoting from Lincoln's speech for revolu-
tion by any patty in the State who could
maintain it, Mr.. Cox called on the Speaker
to answer whether he favored Lincoln's
views. No answer. "Schuyler'' on his
"dig" again. But "dig" does not win in
debate, and so the Speaker found. The
speech of Mr.. Cox fairly killed the resolu-
ton, and Colfax begged to have it 60 over
till Monday. Then an unwise speech was
made by secessionist-the only one In the
House-Harris, of Maryland. He made
himself as obnoxious to Democrats as to thu
other side, and many Democrats who did
not favor his expulsion for his very free
speech voted to censure him. Surely he
has no business in an American Congress.
He glories in not being Democrat, and said
they were no better than Abolitionists.
The news here Is literally nothing from
the Army of the Potomac. Rainl rain I!
rainll! but no amount of mud ever pre-
vented the Abolitionists from pelting Nc
Clellan with 1t. When will this army here
mover God only knows.
Fremont is at work with his politics, and
Is doing an immense business in CONSOLE
dating the opposition in his party to Lin
coin. He will publish letter, as 1t is ru-
mored, stating that he is candidate till the
sundown of the day of the November elec-
tion. S.

ployment of the United States, in either
the legislative or executive branches,
should propose to make peace, or should
accept or advise the acceptance of any such
proposition on any basis which would re-
store the slave power to its former suprem-
acy in the Government, or by any new
compromise or amendment of the Consti
tuition recognize slavery as an element Of
power, such person will be guilty of high
crime.
ResotUed, That the superior resources and
military prowess of the North In the strug-
gle are beyond dispute, and that the ques-
tion OF its success turns not upon its rela-
tive ability, but on the fitness of its chief
executive magistrate to give effect to its
power.
Resolved, That It is unsafe to intrust the
execution of any system of administration
to persons who are not in cordial sympathy
Herewith, and that no change of policy in
the conduct of the war Is more than nomi-
nal which is not accompanied by complete
change in the personnel of the executive de-
partment.
Resolued, That it is a matter for serious
reflection, whether another election for
President must not sipervene before the
rightful authority of the nation can be es-
tablished, and whether, in the meantime, It
is not fagrant waste of our energies to
continue the war.
Resolved, That unless the Army of the
West shall have swept through the valley of
the Mississippi to its mouth, and the Army
of the Potomac annihilated the legions of
Lee and Jackson, thus subverting the mill
tary power of the rebellion, within reas-
enable time, the best interests of the coun-
try and humanity will require a cessation
of hostilities.
Resolred, That the States of the North,
composing the American nation and WELD
ing its power, must ever remain one and
indivisible on the basis of freedom for ALL
without distinction of race, color, or condi-
tion; that their mission must ever be to ex-
tend their own civilization over the entire
continent; and that whatever arrangements,
difficulties, checks, or defeats they may en-
counter, they must forever cherish and pur-
sue the inspiring idea of nationality and
continental dominion.

Mr. Greeley,s Opinion.

y tFrom the New York Tribune, Sept. II. 1891 y
We have repeatedly asked those who dis
sent from our view of this matter whether
they do OF, do not assent to Mr.. Jefferson's
statement In the Declaration Of mdepend-
ence that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed;
and that whenever any form of government
becomes destructive Of those ends, II Is the
right Of the people to alterorabolish 1t, and
to institute o new government &c- &c.
We do heartily accept this doctrine, beliey-
ing It intrlnsically sound, benefcent and
nethat, universally accepted, is calculated
to prevent the shedding Of seas Of human
blood, and II IL i,tstifes the secession from tho
