A Plan of Organization.

very simple and yet very efficient plan of
organization for the Conservatives of this State,
is suggested blythe Columbia Pheni1. 1t is this;
1.,When each district is fully organized with
clubs at the court house, and in every convenient
locality il the district, let each club elect fre
delegatess to meet and form District Central
Club, for tho moro thorough organization of the
whole district
2. Leteaoh District Central Club then elect
one delegate-theae delegates meeting and form
ing Stcfe Central Club, which meets as often as
-it.may sea.it.. ..,.-....-...,
In this way the whole State may be thoroughly
organized. The plan has this merit, that it will
not interfere with present organization of the
Democratic Clubs throughout the State.

President Johnson's Amnesty Proclamation has
at length been issued, and will be found on an

President johnson done his part in the restoration

in history is assured among the eminent men who
