Napoleon used to say that "the Lord
is always on ,he side of those having
the heaviest artillery" The maxim
Is but repetition and Illustration Of
the old familiar truth that, "other

for a moment deny; and when to that
numerical strength Is added The moral
weight Of vast prcponderaHce Of
wealth, intelligence and superior social

II, therefore, we would succeed in
the next election, and save the people
and rescue the government from the
despotic grasp and destructive rule Of
radicalism We must commence, in due
time, the all-necossary and essential
work Of organization, and faithfully
and persistently prosecute it with
ceaseless and untiring energy until the
battle shall have been fought and the
victory won.
Ii may be thought by some that we
have commenced the work Of organiza-

Perhaps we may be assailed by still
more fearful and menacing dangers,

armed bands Of militia to iulimidate
and oycrawe the people, and, if needs
be, perhaps, to essay the dangerous
oxpcdient Of using the bayonct to

that our entire strength may be utilized
