Inc following circular mas been issued
by :hc State Republican Committee:
TO TUE TOWN COMMITTEE OF
GENTLEMAN--lu entering upon the du-
ties OF the position assigned them by the
Republican Party of Vermont, the State
Committee make this, an earnest appeal
to you for your hearty and personal Co.
operation in the great struggle in which
we are now fairly engaged. They would
have you, with them, regard the present
as the most important Of all the presiden.
tial campaigns that have engaged our at
tentlon in the last few years. They de.
sire that you, with them should freely
appreciate the magnitude and the impor-
lance Of the mission of the Republican
Party,---a mission no less than that OF
preserving the interests Of this great ma.
ton in the future, as it has developed
and fostercd them in the past.
To this party as committee the duty
of providing for the complete restoration
and perpetuity of the Republic; the es-
Enlistment Of the rights of all, without
distinction of race or color, to an equal
protection under the law; to afford lust
and equitable protection to all classes OF
labor aud manufacturing interests; to en-
sure continued and certain reduction OF
the national burden; to perfect our ma
tioual finances to gradual yet sure re-
turn to a sound, substantial basis, and as
early as may be compatible with the
great financial interests Of our people; to
assure the recognition Of the rights OF
citizens both at home and abroad, guar.
antecing to all ample remuneration for
the past, and full protection for the fu-
ture.
For the defeat of the Republican Par
ty, and the consequent overthrow of its
policy, are combined party without
principle, and malcontents with no pur-
pose save that revenge or greed of office.
In our own State this hydra headed op.
position rears its murky form, and threat
ems to make itself felt in our coming
State election its adherents, not hoping
for success but determined upon mischief
by drawing from our time-honored ranks
are putting forth every effort in their
power to weaken our numbers, and so re.
ducc our majorities in the September
election as to carry encouragement to the
same opposition in STATES where the con-
test is closer and where they hope to
succeed.
To the defeat Of this unhallowcd and
wicked purpose the Committee would
call your earnest attention, and invoke your
best personal efforts, 1t only six weeks
to the day Of election, and they would
impress upon you the necessity of an
earnest, determined and immediate ac.
ton; organize, fully organize, the ranks
10 your town; form Grant and Wilson
Clubs, it consistent; call meetings, in or
der that the principles of our party may
be fully discussed and thoroughly under
stood; rally the faithful; visit the indic.
fcrent, especially those who, alured by o
former love for Greeley and the reading
Of the Tribune, are inclined to follow af
ter him aud loose sight Of those glorious
principles of Liberty, Equality and Jus.
tice, contended for by our fathers. and
so nearly consummated in the bencfceni
results Of Gen. Grants administration.
Let us put forth an united effort, de.
termined to maintain the former prestige
and integrity of the Republican party of
Vermont; let us remember that the eyes
OF an anxious people are upon us; and
that great political influence is ours to
exert, in that our duty having been well
done, and the result being known, the
grand pean shall reverberate among our
hills and through our vallies, and the glad
refrain will be caught up by our sister
States in such notes of encouragement as
to carry CONSERVATION and dismay into the
hearts Of orr enemies.
Let us, then, 90 forward, strong in the
right, and confident that our cause will
surely triumph over all combinations
emanating from whatever source or how.
ever skilfully planned, believing that
in its continued success are centered the
best interests and highest hopes of our
country.
Very respectfully,
George W. Grandey,
Chairman,
George Nichols,
Secretary,
Chas. II. Joyce,
Stephen Thomas,
