delegates from each Club, which shall be
charged with the duty of extending the
Club organization, through the State,
procuring cooperation among the friends
Of the ibeial-Democratic candidates
therein, supplying Clubs with documents
and speakers, dlfuslpg and collecting
political information land generally aiding
the Conservative party to preserve its
organization. and to throw its vote intact
at the coming election for our candida ties,

pended, viii explain the mode by which
it is proposed to operate. We ask you
at once TO form Club in your vicinity
to put it in correspondence with us, and
procure it to elect delegates, to this
{! committee.
This Club organization may be made
the most efficient auxiliary to the regular
Conservative organization iu the State
While that is composed OF regulars, who
have charge OF party discipline and party
matters generally, the Clubs will gather
together and organize the enthusiasm the
zeal, and the energy Of all those, who are
willing to volunteer for the short canvass,
tr,,, now to the election. 1t will es-
pecially attract the youny. ardent and
actice spirits, who are pa,..,-,,ing for an
opportunity to 60 to work. The nal
cal party in this State is thoroughly
organized. 1t has paid canvassers in the
counties, enrolling the negroes in secret
oath bound leagues, and long before the
election, will have bound its voters, by
compact organizations to come out en-
mosse and vote for the Radical candidates
We propose to meet this secret sworn
organization, by open, avowed, frank
! action, by enrolling our friends, and SO
enlisting their interest, by argument and
reason, as to secure their perfect co-opera-
| ton.

She Endorsed Greeley, because Greeley
