The Spectator of last week quotes from
the "pan of organization" adopted by the
Richmond Convention, as follows:
'"Thc registered voters willing to unite in
this organization will be formed into sstens,"
in each of which one will be leader the
''roUs Of ten" shall be returned to the Su-
perintendent Of the county or city, and shall
by In BE- preserved and registered accord
ing t. the organization.
Tile persons 50 enxoltea and returned, to-
gether scth The offers, shall constitute the
sora1g qzgGn5zqsH IF f. h. cos 5 e
them al party aomi'lahous she'll be NADER
And ADDS ut vii thus be seen that the
meuab.rs Of the nominating Convention
must be enrolled, ana that the nominees
must also be Of the lunibRf enrol!ea ia tho
working organization" Of the party
We believe this is the determination Of the
particular friends of this plan. We ask the
questions there any fairness, justice or
right in it? The very fact Of enrolment
vii keep from the Township meg tngs ma
jority pfthe Conservative voters Of the couu-
ty. luny fdEena cW net enroll, although
they are as good Conservatives and as keen
ly alive to the interests of the State as those
who concocted this proscriptive scheme. IF
they are thus driven from what is claimed to
be the conservative organization" there
cannot be Convention that will reflect the
sentiment of the people. What will be the
result? Why, we will have an independent
ticket, which will defeat the nominees of any
such Convention, and split the party in the
county. Why the necessity or common sense
of such an obnoxious provision Do we not
want the cooperation Of every Conservative
voter in the county?. If 50, why try to
drive any off who are truly with the party,
but who decline to sign paper, to prove the
earnestness of their word? We tell those
gentlemen that they are taking the boldest
step toward disorganization ever initiated in
any political association, we have ever known.
We want harmony in the Conservative ranks,
but this can never be COTTON, SO long as those
who have accidentsd into transient political
authority, presume to dictate to and tyran-
nize over the popular will We warn them
again, that they are standing on slippery pla-
ces, and paving the way for the utter defeat
of their silly scheme.

LET US HAVE MORE HoJsEs.-One great need
of our growing city, is additional dwelling hous
es. The population on Stanton you'd be great
ly increased had we the houses for families to
move into, when they come here. hundred
dwellings would add to population probably
five hundred people. And we are sure, if the
houses were here, the families would come. We
know of several parties who desire to come here
for the purpose of looking around for investment,
but could not secure houses suited to their pur-
poses. Our capitalists should SO utilize their
means as TO Wake them promote the general pros
perity of the community, and thus enhance the
value and Suitability of real estate More houses,
and less paper sAAaying.
