BY order of the Democratic State Committee
WILLIAM a. WALLACE. Chairman,
This circular contains some wholesome
truths, which are as applicable to Republi-
cans as Democrats. Dir. Wallace says that
"error of opinion can be best combatted by
calm argument" and urges the circulation
OF newspapers as the best means to accom-
phsh that end. We agree with him fully
n that respect; and, We hope, our Repub-
fcan friends throughout the county will
profit by the admonition and go to work at
once. Canvass your districts See who
has and who has not Republican paper.
Form clubs, and urge every Republican to
take one; and talk with the moderate men
OF the other party, and endeavor to get
them into your clubs Now is the time to
do this work. Laterwhen the passions and
prejudices of men are aroused by political
excitement, it viii be difficult to accomplish.
The better to enable our friends to carry
out the suggestions here made, we propose

calities in the county.
