when that organic ,tion comes of.
thsrs sre several clssses Of men who will
naturally fall into the ranks of the enc

old Pro Slavery men. all. Second. the
soft-shslIs. who deserted the party during
the rebellion, bat are frozen to the name

the party thst came near destroying the

selves to the Republican party during
ths war. for policy's sake. some Of whom
became 90 radical that they wanted to

or tried to get elected to Office BY the Re

These classes, combined. will amount
to somsthing in numbers. bat the Repub

But to make our force effective, we mus
organize. We recollect once before, IL
this County. when the Democracy made
grand organization. 1t was 10 1859
when the Free State party was merged
isto the Republican party. This was q
favorable time for the enemy to make q
great ado about abandoning the glorious
old Free State party; so they organized
Q Democratic. Free White State party.
Tims-servers and mercenaries who had
sotsd with the Free State men, and who
had been honored and trusted BY them.
rushed into the new concern, and formal.
ly gave in their adhesion to the Demo-
cratic patty-some of them got pretty
sick of it. before they were there long.
and the better class of them made haste
to get back into the Republican fold. At
that time, the circumstances were all fa-
vorsbis to the Democratic party. and the
Republicans were placed ct dissdvan.
tsge. But the latter organized thorough,
ly. were united, worked msnfully. and
triumphed. So we must do now, with
the advantages on our side.
We propose. then. that the Republi-
cans. at an early day. (say the 22i Of
February, meet in mass convention at
the County Seat. and proceed to effect
complete and working organization. The
bogus men will then have found their
proper element. and we shall know who
srs with US. Local and personal zeal.
ousiss and wrangles must be thrown aside.
and all must stand BY the party. The
Democracy will not permit such things
to divide them. and We must not. What
sver is determined upon by fair major
ny of the party. all must abide by. re.
gsrdless Of personal or local considsra-
lions. Then we shall always have Re-
publican County. with Republican OFF,
as now. Republican County.
With large share of Democratic officers.
Let us hear from Republicans through
Dot the County. how they feel on this
proposition to organise. When shall it
