object, thorough organization and
diligcnt, systematic work are indis.
Ipensable.
Upon these premises. we suggest
the basis of such campaign work as
is required to achieve an exemplary
victory at the polls. Attempting on.
ly to Indicate few essential general
points, we respectfully submit that it
is the solemn duty of all members OF
the Union party to bear earnestly in
mind
That the difference between organ
lzed and unorganized political forces
Is precisely that which is recognized
as existing between raw recruits and
veteran soldiers.
That skulking, shirking, or neg
lect of assigned duty, is dishonora.
bic and disastrous in q political rs
well as in a military campaign.
That the opposition to the Union
party is earnest, determined, watch.
full and unscrupulous.
That large majorities are invaria-
bly, the result of painstaliing, systc-
matte work.
Therefore it is deemed imperative
that thorough local organization
should be effected in every county in
the State, and to local committees
we appeal

pending upon the intelligence anC
patriotism of the American people

alder and abettor of treason and re

that every Union voter shall dis
