and Pennsylvania the Democrats ar
getting ready for the fall elections
Throughout both those States the Dem
ocratic papers are advocating q speedy
and perfect organization of the elements
of Opposition to Radicalism, and those
to whom they appeal seem to respond
both readily and Willingly, The choice
of honest and unexceptionable men a.
candidates is being specially urged Up
on the Democratic voters of those great
States. In. Pennsylvania it is believed
that if proper attention be paid to the
nominations, the Radicals in that State
can be beaten by discussion of the
disgraceful conduct of their representa-.
tives at Harrisburg last winter, to say
nothing of those dead weights upon the
Radical party, the financial troubles and
the reconstruction farce.
The following extract from the Phil,
adelphia Age depicts the political situ-
alton in an admirable manner, and also
furnishes some suggestions on the ques-
tion Of organization that are inyalua-

The people are preparing for change.
All the signs Of the times indicate q
disruption of the Radical party. The
scales Of fanaticism are falling from the
eyes Of the masses, and they are begin
ming to see that in return to the old
constitutional landmarks lies the only
hope Of peace, unity and prosperity.
In the South the leaders of the DOM
inant faction are divided on the
negro question; In. the North Greeley
hays the blockheads"- Of his
party In q rasping article, which win
yield fruits at the proper time; and in
the West the Impartial suffrage" issue
is widening the breach between the
Radicals and Conservatives day by day,
and rendering o separation at the polls
only q question of time. The bicker-
ings and dissensiOns among the candi-
dates for the Presidency are also help
ing to distract the once "happy fami.
ly." Butler refuses to be "bottled;"
Chase is in the canvass; Cameron will
run against the field, and thus the ap-
pie of discord is set fairly rolling in the
path of the party which now rules the
nation. s ..etssE .sE.. .s
For the coming change the Democrat
ic party must prepare in season. First,
by organization. Nothing can be done
we'll without system, order, and discip-
line. Power lodged in the keeping of a
party which lacks these grand requi-
sites, will debaueh its members, and in
most cases he used in such manner as
to injure rather than benefit the State
and nation. The intention of organi-
zation is ~ instruct the members Of o
party; to foster spirit of manly pride
in preserving its principles from being
destroyed, either in an open manner by
the attacks of bold. unprincipled, de-
signing men, or secretly, by the machi-
nations of scheming demagogues, and
in this manner keeping it constantly
prepared for efficient action. Organ
ization also increases the strength of q
party by bringing its members together
and thus forming personal associations.
When organization is perfect and thor
Ough, each member of party feels that
he can rely for support upon those with
whom he agrees in political sentiment
and opinion, and this fact adds to his
usefulness and increases his zeal and
perseverance as labOrer in dissemiDa-
ting those doctrines which underly the
organization of which he is part.
