pIaIN MORRIS.

We find the following communication
ia the AVa1anele OF Saturday; and we
place it in our columns that it may be as
widely read as possible, aud to say few
words in reply:
THE LATE DEMOCRATIC MEETING "A
FEW SUGGESTIONS.
Editors Avalanche;
Having labored with all my might,
and spent not only nay time but my
money in the support and promotion Of
the aims and objects OF the Democratic
Conservative party since its oFganizs-
tion after the war, / therefore feel that I
ana authorized TO criticize the outerop-
pings Of latent elements, which, if not
speedily rebuked, viii result in total
disruption of our lucai political orgsnizs-
tions. I regret to see prOtrudiDg the ear
marks of aspirit Of prejudice, engendereG
in the unhappy struggle from which we
have just emerged, and it is time such
elimination and Teerimination should
have been buried deep in the oblivion OF
the past, and that all true men sheuid
make common cause against the usurpa-
tiOR of the despoileFs OF our common
country; a full need Of praise should Be
awarded To those honest yeOmen, who
have been found first and last al the reg
isteris Office and always at the ball0s-
box, deyoting their time and money ia
the support Of the great Democratic prin-
ciples, which award to ali white men
equal rights under the Constitution, and
to hurl from power The Radical scala
wags who, by stealth, have usnrped the
control not only of our county, bat State
and National Government, and break
from the limbs of those who nObiy bat
tied for the liberty of the South the
slrsckles which subordinate them to the
ignorant and vicious African. Hence,
il is exceedingly unfortunate that
few, who know not their
A B C's in the manipulation OF po-
liticaI organizations, should seem bant
upon mischief, which viii ultimately, il
not sternly meet, ALLEVIATE and drive
from the field OF active labor the men
who have heretofore contributed most IN
the support of our cause, because men
who have made the party what it is do
not Ike TO be superseded by party OF
ultra Conservatives who have scarcely,
as il were, taken of their sWaddling
garments, in g political point Of view,
and who, in their blind zeal and desire,
as they say, to rule OF the track ''Old
political hacks" contribute more TO the
of the Radical party than
they are aware of. The opposition of
this faction to the resolution providing
for the appointment OF 8 county eXecu- I
tive committee, is attributable either to
3 spirit fatally bent upon a usurpatiOn Of
the control of our political organization /
or TO 8 total want of information and |
experience ia the discipline and man |
agement Of political campaigns. IJ is !
hoped, however, that hereafter cur Con- !
viii not be interrupted in ike |
manner, but that the men upon whom |
we must rely at the bsliot-boZ, will turn |
out and show iugr8tes that whilst their |
is and hiss always been de- |
sired they do not intend TO be snubbed, |
ignored, and become the hewers OF |
wood and drawers of water for those !
whose interest they have heretofore la |
bored to promote. These suggestions are |
intended to awaken reflections which, |
IRE it is too late, will work reconcili8- /
ion of the antagOnistic elements which /
now threaten local disruptions, and 1 /
rust will serve as fiDger-board to the |
fatal policy about to be iDaugurated. II /
s hoped, furthermore, that ali who love !
he principles Of our party will turn out 1
1n Saturday afternoon, and organize q |
good executive committee, and, hand in
band with the club already organized, |
address themselves to The great struggle /
or not only political but individual lib-
srty, and no man fears the result.
