ORGANIZEi Work.!

We have repeatedly spoken of the ne
cessity of organizing and working if we
desire to keep up the republican majority
at the State election. With the democrats
secretly active and republicans asleep
the result can be readily foreseen. The
following article from the Lewiston Jour
nal has the true ring.
"As usual in an 'off-year' election, when
there are to be no Congressman chosen,
and when the country is taking breath
from succession of spirited political con-
tests, there is apparently little interest.
So far as the democracy are concerned,
however, this is only apparent, for unless
all signs are at fault, they are working,
quietly to be sure, but none the less eff
fectually, as they have not worked for
years. They are preparing to make a
desperate struggleto carry the presidential
election next year, and they regard it es-
sential to make a gain in the several State
elections this fall, and especially in Maine,
whose election, coming ahead of nearly
all others, as it does, is always regarded
as prophetic of the result.
In view Of these obvious facts, it seems
to us Of great importance that the repub-
hcans at once awake to their duties in the
present campaign, and 60 to work as they
should in the face of a busy enemy. Let
it be borne in mind that in every corner
in every secret place, the democratic
leaders are at work-at work appealing t,
every prejudice, at work insinuatin!
charges which they dare not make openly
at work in that unfair, but nevertheless
dangerous manner, which is possible onl,
when a campaign is carried on secretly
In such a campaign, audacity and mis-
representation are powerful weapons, ant
with them the democratic leaders ar,
adopts. 1t is only in open discussion, ii
public meetings where principles are dis
cussed, where truth comes out and where
falsehood is unveiled, that the republicans
are strong.
We believe, therefore, that the republi-
cans are doing too little. and trusting toe
much to their strength. We need some
public meetings at the leading points il
our State; we need more activity, and
above all that earnestness and enthusiasm
which come from devotion to such princi
pies as the republican party support, wher
1t is believed these principles are endan
gered- We need organization and worl
from this date until election day comes
and then above everything else we nee,
such work on that day as win bring ever
republican to the polls.
Republicans of Maine, let not a da
more pass without putting on your armol
Organize! organize Speak to your rs
publican neighbor. Correct the misrer
resentation which some partizan aget
has made. Direct attention to the impo
lance of decided and increased repubI
can majority as bearing upon the pres
dental election next year. Then be su
that every republican vote is brought o
on the day of election"

IMPORTANT 70 THE PUBLIC.

About year since q series of articles
very abusive of Mr.. Blaine appeared in
the Maine Standard Their author was
ascertainod to be VIM. r. Smith, Esq,
cashier of the Augusta Savings Bank
| The three column article in this weeks
Standard seems to resume the thread
where last years story left off. The pub
lie believe the authorship to be substantial
ly the same, though that fact is of small
consequence.
The article, however, is remarkable for
two circumstances one using information
derived in iiduciary capacity at the Au-
gusta Savings Bank) as the basis of an
attack on Mr., Blaine; the other pretend
ing to describe the precise circumstances
and details of facts under which Mr.. Blaine
is alleged to have borrowed fifteen hun
dred dollars at the First National Bank in
this city,with the subsequent difficulties of
its repayment. If these circumstances are
true they could be properly learned only
from the officers of that bank. 1t there
fore behooyes the officers of the Augusta
Savings Bank (whose President and Cash
Ter are democrats) and it also behooves the
officers Of the First National Bank (whose
President and Cashier are democrats) to
explain to the public how it is that person
al, private and honorably confidential
at their respective Banks are
made the basis of partisan attacks on Mr..
Blaine in the columns of the Maine Stand

Some of the Georgia papers encourage the
proposition of the Richmond Wing, that the
South must be paid for its slaves, and the
spoil divided with the negroes, if they prompt

Macon Telegraph, even at this late day, de-
clares that slavery was "a system sanction
ed by the Great Jehovah himself, under which
our fathers prospered SO much, and were un-
iversally recognized as the noblest type of
the human race"

landingham departure has already broken
down; the whole South rebelled against it.,
ana tAe weak-kneed Democracy of the North
has yielded. Now comes the Southern de-
parture-the reputation of the constitution
al amendments and compensation for the
slaves. That is what more than one-third
of the Union and more than one-half the
Democratic States demand, and to that, soon
err or later, the Democracy of the North will
first submit and then make it their distinctive
policy"

Mr. Blaine asks us if we know of his ac-
quirng property improperly, to publish 1T or
confess that we have not such knowledge.
We are not presumed to have this informa-
ton and never claimed to have it.
Maine Standard.
No! but you claim the right to publish an
article one week with four acknowledged self
convicted falsehoods, and when respectful
correction of them is sent to you, your only
reply is that you have no information to war
rant your charges, but you proceed through
three columns to repeat your stale SANDERS
With some opponents argument has weight;
with others inrecttre may do service; both
would be wasted on the Standard.
The word syndicate" which has been for
a long time in use on the London Stock Ex-
change, promises to become, through Secre-
tary Boutwell's recent arrangement for dis
posing of his new loan, also current in this
country. We see it everywhere said that a
syndicate of bankers has been formed, who
have agreed to take the remainder of the first
| 5000, zoo, 600 of the loan and dispose of it
among their customers. The word signifies a
council. The officers of the various compa-
MES or guilds of tradesmen are there called
syndics, and the whole body of these syndics,
united, is syndicate. The application OF
the term to temporary partnerships OF the
leaders of banking and stock jobbing opera
tors, such as those which have heretofore
been known among US as cliques or rings was
easy, and syndicate will hereafter doubtless
take the place with bull and bear as an integral
part of the slang of finance.

A letter from Wilmington, N. c.. to The
Buffalo Express says; "We have lately had
one of the most heated and bitter campaigns
in this State that ever had the fun of witness
ing the issue being Convention or no Con-
vention.' Colored orators were in the field in
abundance, and never having been satisfied
as to the ability of the negro to occupy the
stage, I, through curiosity, attended one OF
their meetings. The ability of the principal
speaker MADISON, who had the honor of be-
ing the first negro admitted to the bar in this
State) cannot be doubted. l was really sur
prised at his chain of logical argument. But
a meeting conducted by people so recently
relieved from bondage must necessarily pre-
sent many ludicrous points, and here is one
of them: Allan Denton (colored) officiated
as Chairman, and the man who had the floor,
after long and f1owery appeal, was winding
up as follows: And say, my fellow-citizens,
dat eberyting are changed; dat we is better
men, and we is more spedious.' What, what
dat you say?' interrupted the Chairman, who
comprehended the dignity and duties of his
position, what that word you sayT 'Spedi-
Gus is the word / exclaim. Isn't right. Mr.,
Chairman 'Oh, spedious, spedious yes,
dat's all correct. Please prohibit to finish
YOUR remarks, which he did with the evident
consciousness of having annihilated the pre-
siding officer

From the Boston Post.
IfruHior is correct, the opposition to
Grant is rapidly crystalizing into formi-
dable shape. The proposed meeting of
Republican Senators at Albany is, the
first defnant movement in which men
prominent in the national councils have
taken part against the President whose
Government they are expected to support,
although such a combination must have
been formed long before this but for the
restraining influence of party rule. SEN
ator Sumner has denounced the. President
as guilty of crimes which would warrant
impeachment, and proved his charges in
the Senate. Senator Schurz fought and
conquered the whole power of the Ad-
ministration in its charmless interference
with the rights of the people in Missouri,
and is, moreover thoroughly opposed to
the policy of the President. Senator
Fenton and Senator Upton are both suf-
fering under the frown of the President,
and anxious to take their turn in seow-
ling. Altogether, the associaffen of these
prominent Senators in movement look
ing to the application of the ono term
principle to General Grant is so highly
probable that we may look with conf
dence upon the report that a meeting for
consultation will shortly be held. In
case the movement is set on foot it will
be necessary to largely augment the force
in the custom house in order tosounter-
act it. -
