ARGUMENT is LOST.

1t is time the democracy of the country
were perfecting their organization, not
for argument but for revolution. 1t is
time there were in every county of the
United States, organizations of brave men
for the purpose Of voting for their rghts,if
theirappeal by ballots fail, then to form into
agrand army extending from Lake Itasca
to the Delta OF the Mississippi and march
to the sea, crowding the abolition law
breakers and union haters into that sea
Tor the good Of posterity. Argument is
lost on abolitionists. Reasoning with
fool or fanatic is but waste of time and
words. Democrats have argued as they
resrcated from principle till their power
and argument fails to be felt or heard.
While we argued, Republicans killed;
when we talked for law, they gave us
mobs, when we cited to the Constitution.
they pointed to bastiles; when we asked
Tor courts, they pointed to ropes; when
we asked for juries they applied the
torch; when we asked for their authority,
they pointed to the bayonet and drove
their argument into the heart ofthe peo-
pie.
We have argued for years, till whist
ling against gale is not more foolish
than argument now. In Congress--from
the stump-in press and writings have
we argued and battled within the line of
right, but to all arguments the abolition
party turned a deaf ear and marched on
behind the living Brown to glory as they
did behind the dead Loncoln, back to
the people that party is robbing for the
benefit of puritan bond holders and tariff
protected leeches.
A jewel in a hogs snout-an orange
wreath on an abandoned character is not
more out of place than argument with an
abolitionist, or republican. While we
argue they rob, steal, destroy, break laws,
abolish constitutions, and 60 on with their
ORGANIZE
Get ready for the election of '6S, and
let every white man, North and South
vote, vote. Then let us bide the rusult.
But if all cannot vote who ever we're en-.
-ltled to, let our organization be turned
% good purpose, and let the revolution
1t once begin. and let the brave men Of
.he nation seize the sword and repeat the
esson we have already learned Of late,
I'LL there be not an impious church, a
constitution hating Republican, a New
England puritan left to poison the land
rom the warm shoresyof the South to the
White livered guardians of Plymouth
tock and stolen property. Get ready
or the revolution. If we cannot have
he right in the name of patriotism, let
Is have general revolution. But not
i'll we have tried ballots once more. We
o-day know where there are men who
Till march, if need be, two hundred thou
and strong in defence of liberty.
We sit in our sanctum and see on a
nap dotted with spots as the heavens are
nth stars, where there are men by tens
y fifties and by hundreds who will stand
rifling with buta few months longer ere
hey will, from mysterious places, bring
lrth the sabre and musket and rally un-
er the banner of the Union for a final
truggle which will overturn the party
l power.
ORGANIZER
In every city and county pick out the
old brave men. We know who they
re here-we know who they are else
here. And you who do not know how
organize send to us for forms and
anks-Jat organize everyrOhere lila
