DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION.

The joyful results of the recent elections
should encourage the democratic party every
where to renewed efforts. We have scotch
ed the radical hydra; let MS now utterly
destroy it. The coming campaign is the
most momentous in the history of our coun-
try. Where such important issues are be-
fore the people, and the prestige of victory
already secured, they should be neryed to
increasing exertions. The democrat who
fails in this critical season to do his whole
duty, is recreant to the great principles of
free governments, is false to his God, his
country and himself.
To make the work efficient, arr secure
the advantages almost acconn~ashea oy nc
cent successes, the deme1.a'c party shou'u
organize eyerywhe,s and prepare for the pres
ident;aI ca,npsign.@ Let this organization be
instant cad vigorous. 1t is not too early to
begin earnest work. Democratic newspapers
and documents should be in the hands of
every one. Moderate republicans should be
supplied with sensible democratic reading.
Tracts on free trade tracts on the green
back topic; tracts on the negro suffrage
question; tracts on the corruption and ex-
travagance of the radical party; tracts on
the devilish devices of the party in power to
sever the Mnion and degrade southern states
into territories. These subjects should be
calmly discussed and presented squarely to
the reason of the masses. With such issues
the result cannot be doubtful our success
may be reckoned by hundreds of thousands,
where now We have only tens or hundreds
With the success of the democratic party viii
return peace, prosperity and good feeling
and an indissoluble union. The country
has tried radical rule to its hearts content
Let us have old fashioned democratic times
AGAIN. -

COMMUNICATION FROM BENJAMIN D
WALSH, ESQ

EDITOR OF THE ARGUS, Sir.-The follow
ing Article was handed over yesterday morn
ing to the senior editor of the Union for
publication in his issue of to-day, with the
jocose remark that had therein kicked out
at him pretty savagely, but that, as it was
then only IL A. NJ, he had plenty Of time to
kick back again. The Captain looked over
the Article for some five minutes, and final
ly agreed to publish it as requested. And
we further arranged that I should call up a,
the Union Office in the evening, to correct
any errors of the press that might have es-
capped his notice. .--.zsa.s a
On entering the Office in the evening, the
Captain very coolly informed me, tina, he
positively would not, under any circum
stances, publish the concluding two para
graphs, though he was perfectly willing to
publish the four first. The causes assigned
Tor this most astounding violation of military
good faith were, lst that the latter part OF
my. communication attacked him, as he was
pleased to express it, personally" which by
the way was the very thing OF which had
duly forewarned him only few hours before
in the homeliest and most expressive of me-
taphors; and 2ndly, that ! had deceived
him by stating that the Article referred ex
clusively to Railroad matters; whereas in
reality the word Railroad never once pass.
ed my lips during the progress of our brief
parley in the morning.
Allow me now, according to military Ell
quette, TO appeal from the stern deeisid in OF
the Choleric Captain to the more clement
courtesies of his Superior Officer,the Colonel.
In plain terms please to print my letter in
the ARGUS, word for word as it was intended
to be published in the Union.

ark, where they were taken. Several other
persons are supposed to be engaged with
them, and they are reported to be very veal

operation as long ago as July 1865, and it is
estimated that parties engaged in the bnsi,

were made from bad Impressions of genu

Rock ISLAND, Nov. 23, 1867.

Mr.. EDIToR-A word about this r. r.
question, which / perceive by this mornings
issue you are still harping on, although the
people of this township have decided by an
overwhelming vote against the views held
| doubt not in perfect honesty-by yourself.
Counties and townships and cities are
corporations organized for certain definite
purposes prescribed by 4aw, and for these
purposes only are they, in the opinion of
many sound lawyers, entitled to tax the com
munity For example, however much the
community governed byone of these Corpora,
tions may need FIGURING Milo Wooden
Mill, or Bank, or an Insurance Company,
1t has no legal or constitutional right to take
stock in It's corporate capacity in any such
institutions, because these are not any of
the objects for which any of the above
corporations were organized.
On the same principle, since the bniIdinp
of Railroads and other Roads, located out Of
the County or Township or City, is not one
of the objects for which Counties and Town
ships and Cities are organized, they have
in my opinion, no legal or constitutional
right to take stock in any Companies organ
lied for such objects. | know it has been
repeatedly done; but that deeA not prove
that it is lawful and constitutionalto do it.
The old Justice of the Peace IN Illiiais tried
case of Slander in his own little sourt.
and fined the defendant 800. But tina, by
no means proved that he had a legal right.o
try Slander-suts As regards the views helt
by the Bench on such questions as these
the Supreme Court of Iowa, unless hav,
been misinformed decided long ago i,
favor of the opinions which I have just beer
promulgating.
About ten or twelve years ago, there wa.

build a large Hotel, and have the City, in it
corporate capacity, take $4,000 stock il
the institution. You will scarcely believ
it, but in a large Meeting of our most re
spectacle and Influential citizens, a standin!
vote being ordered ia the question whethel
or not the City should take this stock, wa
the solitary individual that stood up ON hi
hind legs and voted against it. And bu
for my agItatlng the subject in the publ
papers, which compelled the City Counci
most reluctantly to call Public Election t.
vote on the above question, believe in I'M,
conscience that we should at this r,rysse y,
day be saddled with an old tumble-dowr

and devoted member of the Baptist church
Love for her Redeemer and the Church
were always uppermost in her mind. Oh
how often has she talked with me upon that
Ito herr all absorbing theme--love 10 Christ.

who knew her best, as an honest, sincere
and devoted Christian. We shall see her no
more here. Heaven is her home We shall
meet ne III glory if we live her life. "Bless-
y are they who die in the Lord
