in ignorance we may be defeated.
We fear nothing from the arguments, tho
onroals the sOphistries, of tho Democratic
;n,rnaIs. VIC deprecate only their systematic
| sunnrossion of facts. They habitually and stu
diorslv conceal from their readers the most
significant and momentous developments of the
pebeI shirt still active in several Of the late
slove States and smOldering in the rest. Inc
late igh-handed liberation of murderer from
the iail in Frankfort under the very eyes OF the
Kentucky Legislature, the charge of Judge Pryor
ord tho comments of The Louisville Journal
thcreupon, proving that kl KIN. innocent ne
groes is favorite and not at all dangerous
pastime in that State have not even in epit-
ONE, been made known to any portion of tho
Northern Democrats but those who read THE
TRIBUNE; while Mayor Sturgis's exposure of
the murders and aisons which more re-
Gently devastated Meridian, Miss, and re-
suited in his expulsion without fault
being laid to his charge, is Stunned
by them as though it had the leprosy. Every
ono who has read the kilograms sent North by
the murderers and their abettors must know
the Mayors statement to be true if they see
nails are not allowed to sec it. Only where
Republican newspapers are generally diilused
and read will the voters be made acquainted
with the most essential facts whereon our
next choice of President should be based.
Republicans who are alive in off-years DOa
must do the work that is now pressingly
needed! Each of you know from five to fifty
persons who will vote in 1872 if then living,
yet who are taking no political journal what
ever. You can induce a part of them to take
good one if you will make the requisite
effort. If you have a good and cheap Repub-
lican paper issued in your vicinity, give that
the preference; if you must look further 20
find one of the right sort, do not hesitate; if
one will take a certain journal and another
another, accommodate each; but do not let q
month pass without having every one within
the range of your influence supplied with some
Republican journal that he will take to his
fireside and read in hs hours of leisure This
is the duty of the hour: do not postpone or
neglect it!
Men who employ others are often accused of
the votes Of their mploy6s-generally
without reason. He who attempts this is more
apt to set the voter against his party than to
secure his vote. But every employer might
and should do his best to extend the circula-
ton of good political journals among those
who work for him. A word in season may in
duce several of them to take a journal which
will Undue them with just views of public
affairs and arm them with the facts
whereby those views arc sustained and forli-
fed. Each Of the voters, thus enlightened,
becomes thereby witness for the truth and
"A diffuser of light and zeal among his asSo-
ciatcs and neigLbors. This is the right way to
help the Good Cause; and thus tho most
quiet citizen may render it most effective SER
vice at II very moderate cost.
These remarks are suggested by a letter
from Venango County, Pa, which reads as
follows:

If the Republicans of any other county
shall be moved to similar activity, we are sure
this will reconcile our friend to the publication
