what Ought to be Done.
from the Now Yors TrlLun,

lhere are no doubt Liberals and Im,.r. |
snouRn ~. III ths United States to elect Mr., Greeley
ties'ueht IN November. Whether they viii do Il
OF NOT Is another question: the answer 10 which
uePenus Almost as much upon the ,naunsr IN !
""ch they conduct the campaign as unon the,r !
numerical strength. 1t Is certain that III. I,h.,.

my'rhy IN North Car"iina; but their opponents

tne't Whoie strength to hear So effectively thai II
'hey could not secure genuine victory they nj
'east saved themselves from rout. Eis,w here the
preparations of the Administration n,rtv have
oeeh equally thorough, aud they have H.. great
aus""t'ge "i controlling all the patronage and
o'"e' m'"'hre oi t.e government Ga our side
10" much trust has been placed upon M, ",npular
uP'''"" ana enthusiasm" Tor Greeley, and the
@'hft."s impulse i"r peace and fraternity, and
'e'"t AGAINST rings nnI corruption; and our
ire''s seem to imagine that they can sit still aud

ihrv must understand that the admin list ION
" not gong To be changed by an earthquake
ihry must work for success. 1t IL in poiitics as II
IA IN war; the battle Is not always to the bigve-
| army, hut rather to the best drilled Our cam.
pa,Rn Is to be short and sharp and We are likely
| 10 u" beaten unless We do more than We are dong
| now to get our men into the field and secure re-.
| crnits from among the WAGERING ani dissatisfied
At this time We advise our friends,
l. Don't depend on torchhght professions
They are one sided affairs, which neither develop
| you' o"h NtIthytH UoT lnHuence the followers 81
the opposite party.
>. Don't rely too much upon circulars. Yer.
tax voters lead them. They are used for kndlln.
and shaving paper. Besides the Grant party ha,
abused the system tn such extent that a maj
| d,strusts what. yer comes to him N that shape.
| 3. Don't waste your money on Campaign Chow
der Clubs, and other frauds This ,s a great sea
| son tor impecuniOus political suckers. Be as civ
ii as you please, but show them the door.
Organize the party thoroughly by districts il
every city. village and township OF the Unite'
States. 1t there Is no local organization wher
you live. get together few of your neighbors an
form one.
j. AS soon ns club Is formed appoint ac,iv
canvassers to visit every house. Thus every ma
who believes in the principles OF our party can b
enrolled. aud the wants of every district can b
asrertainei.
q Have district meetings Mt regular times, $
that the spirit aud interest OF members may |
ust ained by the association Never mind gati
erings Tor buncombe. but meet often tor busines
Pat your clubs into communication with Il
county or State assoriations. and rport to hea
quarters your needs, your progress and yo'
strength.
!. DO these things at once. Begin your loc
clubs to-day. The opposite party Is active N
, we'll disciplined, and We are not. We have
great deal OF lost time to make up, and only IA Il
tie while to do it in. With energetic and W.
directed effort victory in November is certai
I but the prize will be snatched from our hands
we do not rouse ouls selves la season.
