are seeking Office, that we may expect
no aid or sympathy from. The finger
of scorn will ever hereafter be point
ed at them and posterity in all time
to come, as the Judus Iscariots of
their race.
In conclusion, Messrs. Editors, let
me make this further suggestion as
to the formation Of these societies of
Democratic clubs all over the State.
There should be q President and o
Vice-President, O Corresponding Sec
retary and Treasurer elected by the
society. They should meet as often
US convenient, and each member
should consider himself a committee
to induce others to join. Every one
should endeavor to disseminate De-
mocratic newspapers and speeches
and essays in his neighborhood, and
procure his neighbors to subscribe
for such papers and documents. AS
many as can, should meet at the
court house monthly, and report pro-
gress to the central society. These
central societies should make reports
to the general society at the seat
of government or capital of the State.
Every member should consider him
self sort of conservator of the peace
for the suppression of vice and crime,
and see that offenders are brought to
justice in our courts. They should
aid the civil and military authorities
in ferreting out evil doers. and pro-
tectipg the innocent from lawlessness
and wrong. Aud for this purpose
they should be prepared to defend
themselves when unlawfully assailed,
in their persons Or property. Good
men are always brave and generous,
and bad men are generally towards.
If the Southern States will organ
ize as [ propose, they may carry the
entire South in the coming Presi-
dental election, and defeat the ratifi-
cation of all the bogus constitutions
which have been formed by Northern
radicals and adopted by negro con-
ventions. Then our common coun-
try will once more stand redeemed,
regenerated and disenthralled of radi-
cal rulean military despotism. This
great model republic will be again
governed by the constitution, and
made perpetual for q free, united
and happy people.
