The Spring Elections.

Has Il occurred TO all our Republican
readers that there are but nineteen days 70
the period OF the annual township elections
Have any preparations been begun or COM
pleted for as perfect Republican orSaniI@-
ton as possible for that occasion? Because
we had a large majority in the State last
wear is no reason why there should be
neglect OF duty in the several towns. On
the contrary. the town organization Is the
foundation and beginning OF all others
Give Us q majority in every town, and Inc
State and nation viii take care OF them
selves
II YOUR town has & Republican majority
il Is only by union, labor and organized ei-
fort that YOU can hold it. II you are In the
minority, you cannot expect 10 change
places with your opponents unless you are
vigilant, patient and persevering. In either
case. the requisites for permanent success
are essentially the came at all elections and
In all places. A body Of men, agreed IN
principle and desiring political success
must be united IN making seasonable nom
nations. in selecting the best men in their
number for Office, and in giving them their
cordial and undivided support II they do
this with perseverance, they will attain all
that measure or success which their circum-
stances will permit.
In towns and counties where the Repab-
licans are, as they might be tempted TO
think, hopelessly in the minority. they should
be careful 10 maintain their principles and
their organization. The influence OF con
siderable and intelligent minority is power
fully felt IN public affairs, and in all depart
ments OF government. The consciousness
or public officials that they are watched by
visilant enemies, and may be called to &C
count and condemned by public opinion
makes the careless more diligent in thei
public duties; II restraints the rapacity o
the dishonest; it measurably prevents Tn
evils OF favortism; il prevents Wild an'
foolish public enterprises on the part OF III
majority; Il diminishes the imperiousnes
and haughtiness Of the party in power;
Lessons, II il does not prevent, the wastei0l
ness and extravaganza Of the majority Il
spending the public moneys; It checks ID
intolerance OF public opinion; and produce
II modifying effect on legislation and In a
official and public business transactions
Because party is this year numerically dc
, feated at the polls, IL no evidence that
has ceased 10 be, or that 1t has ceased I
have an influence in public affairs. Til
Democrats may elect every town officer hi
year; but il there Is a band OF active an
earnest Republicans in that town, the ete'
OF their organization will be powerfully ie
, for good.
Hence our advice 20 our friends IT, tbs
I whether they be in the majority or minorlt.
they be equally faithful to their principles
, and equally resolute and ,persevering
maintaining them. remembering that Il
. slightest gain made by the Democrats vi
be heralded far and near as the evidenC
. that Republieanism is dying out, aud Den
!, ocracy and its twin sister slavery will aga
. be In the ascendent.

ANTICIPATED TROUBLE IN SOMERSET CoUN-
TY, MD.-We were last evening Informed by a
gentleman from Princess Anne. Somerset
county, Nd, thata very excited state of feeling
exists in that town and vicinity in relation TO
the Registration law and the coming election
on uesday next, and trouble is apprehended
In consequence. Our informant states that the
commissioners OF the county are men who
have been noted for their disloyalty, two of the
three being disqualified and unregistered yo-
ters. They have appointed men for Judges at
the coming election who are all disqualified
voters, except in one district alone, with the
view OF violating the Registry law. and allow
ing all persons to vote, disqualified as well as
quallhed. Our informant also says that il is
impossible to display the National flag in that
locality, as the halyards have been repeatedly
cut; 1t is thought by the Union men general
ly that there will be riotng at the polls, as
those opposed TO the Registry law have threat
ened to seize the ballot-boxes if they are not
allowed to vote. At Deals Island there is also
cOnsiderable eXcitement-Bdt American
