campaign is upon us aud you must 80 tc
work at oneo IN good earnest 70 pat the
Republican hosts in battle array The fight
is likely to be a long and desperate one, anc
it may be much more desperate than many
of you. afe willing TO believe The Copper
head organs ftoni Maine 10 Texas, are threat
cuiug civil war already. 0fe0ursc these
croakers Who skedaddI,d 70 Canada or Ind
in caves when Drafted ARE 81 very little nc
count, but the same class os men stimulated
the South with promises of assistance until
the time for action caHe, and then coward
ike, stole away and left their Southern
friends to fight it out They may do the
same thing again They aiay get somebody
else into fght, Dever themselves. Let
the party thoroughly organize and prepare
for the worst. Let the soldiers be organized
in every township and borough throughout
the county. An ounce of prevention is
worth more than pound OF cure
The Spring election will be upon Us in q
few weeks, commence the work oforgani-
zation at once. Let every borough and
township in the county have a regularly
nominated Republican District ticket, nom
mated at least ten days before the 3rd FRI
day in March. Let the Vigilance Commit
tees that were appointed last Fall, stir up
their sub School District Committees, 50
that every man in a district who votes the
Republican ticket viii be seea andiuduced
to attend the election Many Of the minor
borough and township officers, though of
very little consequence in general way
have much to do in advancing the interests
of the party, and no opportunity should be
left slip to elect Republicans where Repub-
licans can be elected This is by far the
safest plan Many persons come to the
conclusion, because an office is trifiug with
in itself, that there is no use paving any at
tention to il. the Office Of Assessor for in
stance This is all wrong. Our Copper
head friends never leave an opportunity Of
the kind pass. Not they
The County Committee has also been

Delegate to the State Convention is of much
more Importance than ordinarily That
Delegate viii have much to do in shaping
the course Of events in this Congressional
District in the ccming campaign. The State
Convention will select an Electoral ticket, to
be voted for at the Presidential election.
The Delegate will have much to do with
his selection. The Eiector will regulate the
Congressional nonlinatiofs Ii the Electoi
should be taken from the lower end Of the
District the candidate for Congress will be
taken from the upper end and rice ecrsa
Delegates viii also be selected to the Nation
al Convention. Here again the Delegate
will have an important voice IN the selec

mittee from this county is to be chosen, il
whose hands will rest a great part Of tb,
labo- and success Of the campaign in thi
CORY :. Who Is to fill this position? W
want to commence at the root and build VI
such an organization as win sweep Copper
headism out of existence. We have n
personal interest in the different applicant
for Delegate, but we would ike very mucl
to know their views in regard to the selec
ton Of persons to fill these various positions
We expect to do our share Of the work
which is generally about one half. and some
times considerably more, and we hope W

body. Let the Committee look at this mat
mer gravely, aud do the best for the party
Let the first step toward the incoming can
paign be taken judiciously, and without an
regard to persons, and if this is done we ca
expect to triumph.
