Form Your GREELEY AND Brown CLUBS
In our columns to-day will be found the
organization of Greeley and Brown Club
at Auburn. BY mere change of the name,
according to the presinct Or town, this con-
stitution and bylaws can be cut out and
made to serve as a basis for the formation of
Greeley and Brown Club in every pre-
cinct in the county, and no time should be
lost III forming such a club in every precinct
in the county. Our Liberal Republican and
Democratic friends should at once fraternize
and work in harmony all over the county, as
LEY are doing in every portion of the Union.
The prize TO 5e won or lost in this contest is
nothing short of liberty, honesty, reform and
good government. Eternal vigilance can
only secure this great victory; then up and
to work, all friends of Greeley and Brown.

A BAD BEAT.

600 in greenbacks to North Carolina who
were Joined by swarms of mafshals, assess
ors. collectors, scalawags, carpet-baggers'
and six thousand negroes ran in from nelsh-
boring States to carry the election. Wilson
teIepraphed back that the State was sure
Republican by 5000 or 10000 majority,
and vet the Democrats carried five out OF
eight Congressman, the Legislature by twenty
majority, and have undoubtedly elected all
the State ticket. Grants thieves are now
trying to stuff the returns, bnt the Leg's Ia l.
tnre will count the votes, declare the result
and place the Democrat in the gubernatorlal
chair. After robbing the Treasury and com"
mtting crimes enough to send the whole

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN offers TO
the merchants and business men Of this Dis
trict unrivaled advantages as medium Of
communication with the public. We are
prepared to verify the statement that the RE-
PUBLICAN has circulation within the Dis
trict more than double that OF any morning

largely among classes from whom business
men derive support.
In this connection We cannot pass without
comment the assertion of the Star Of last

lishod In Washington Without doubt the

Just at present, larger possibly by a few hun
dred than that Of this Journal but before the
dawn Of 1873 we have every hope and reason
able expectation Of making II equal, n not

In the regard and estimation Of this com
munlty the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN Ia steadily
onward and upward, and there Is no UMPIRE
judiced reading person In this DistT iC
unaware Of the fact that In the fullness com-l
pleteness and variety of lts local news, the

Of la contemporaries, while It's editorial
columns reflect the absolute ideas and prin-
cplcs Of the absolute leaders Of the Rcpub-
lean party.

mutual and reciprocal, and those extending
business patronage to this paper will meet in
