DEMOCRATS, ORGANHZE!

DEMOCRATS, ORGANIZE!
Again we call upon the Democrats of Col
umbia County to effect an organization Of
our party. In parts Of this State where the
Democratic party is not so much in the as
tendency as it is in this part of Pcnnsylva-
mia it is permanently organized, or, if not
permanently yet is about organizing or has
just organized. We wish to be plainly un-
derstood that we have no more faith in the
availability of political body that cannot
keep up an organisation than we have in an
undisciplined army. Had we been properly
organized in every township of the State we
would have not been dcita:cdi in last tfall seec-
tion. The Democratic party is not dead, al
though it has suffered defeat, but on the
contrary it has all the elements remaining to
make it powerful and triumphant party if
properly organized. The revcrses which we
have passed through cannot be attributed to
the want Of patriotic fervor on the part of
the great mass of the party, nor to the want
OF sufficient numbers, but TO improper o.
ganization and leadership on the part of
those who were looked up to as the most
prominent men. Every person in the party
has influence and every one should exert il.
In these days Of misrepresentation it is not
only the duty Of every one to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket, butt is also the duty of every
man to advocate and defend by all honorable
means the unimpeachablc, orthodox prime
pies OF our torclathers, the landmarks laid
down b. the trainers Of the Constitution.
We consider it all imperative duty to organ
lze in every township Of the County, and
therefore call upon the Chairman of the
Standing Committee Of this County to make
move in said direction.
Our party in other counties has organ
lied and commenced its career of usefulness
anew for 1867. Why should not we of Col
umbia County emulate our brothers in the
just cause of constitutional liberty against
negro equality and corporational oligarchy.
re- Let Congress rass Whatsoever acts it
may-lct not PrcsidentJ Johnson sanction any
that are wrong. Let him veto whatever is
wrong, and let the Congress pass it by the
party drilled two-tlirds, and let them take
the wholcrcsponsibility. Lctnot the South
ern people say they accept it, but let them
do under it the best that the circumstances
will permit. Let the South feel sure that
the good men of the North, the vast major
ity, are with them. We say to them, in
good faith, be not dismayed, norcast down;
but do not sacrifice your honesty, give your
friends of the North something to depend
upon, something to appeal to. The wicked
reign OF terroristS cannot last forever.
SrccEEDED.-Thc Mongrcls and full blood
ed niggcrs of Georgetown D. c., have sucs
cecded in elccting their Mayor. an indiyid-
ual who, some of the papers say, is LACK,
while others contend that he is white. We
do not know the exact color of his skin, nor
does it matter much, for it is not all in color.
1t exceedingly easy to make niger out
Of white man, but the Good Lord himself
would be puzzled to make white man out
ofa niger The fact of the sweet scented
Africans electing their Mayor, is certainly
more evidence that the ''word moves" even
if it is deeperinto darkness and wool.
RS" On last Thursday Ulysses Mercur
took dinner with President johnson. -
there is surely bribery and corruption abroad
when Me,rcur goes and dimes with &e great
apostate. "-Erchangc.
This reminds us of the old anecdoto of
Lord Jcffries. On a certain occasion he met
notorious scamp. Jetl'ries, pointing his
cane at the rascal, said ''Thcre is great
rogue at the end of my cane" "At which
end p the fellow replied.

DeS" The Fortieth Congress commenced
on Monday last. Colfax was reelected
Speaker of the House. Tn the Senate Ben
jamin +. Wade, of Ohio, the worst Radical
in the kitchen, was made Vice President of
the United States by choosing him to pre-
side over the Senate The Radical press
throughout the whole country rejoice at this
selection. The new Congress will, in all
probability, proceed with the ruinous work
commercially the old one. A move was
made to adjourn for few days but did not
succeed. The whole country would be re-
joiced to hear of an adjournment sine die.
S% PRESIDENT JOHNSON has signed the
General Bankrunt Bill III.
